Tour Scotland photograph of Scottish Broom on Calton Hill in Edinburgh, Scotland. The name of the House of Plantagenet, rulers of England in the Middle Ages, was derived from common broom, which was then known as " planta genista " in Latin. The plant was used as a heraldic badge by Geoffrey V of Anjou and five other Plantagenet kings of England as a royal emblem. The " broomscod ", or seed pod, was the personal emblem of King Charles VI of France.
