Centuries ago, heraldry and coats of arms were a very serious matter. They denoted dominion and lordship, so it was no surprise that Denmark using the Swedish three crowns symbol caused increasing irritation, anger and even fury in Stockholm. The tensions kept on growing, and by the 16th century, the dispute was so serious it became one of the causes of a war that lasted seven years.
That conflict didn't solve the heraldic row, but as time went on, it became less and less significant, especially as the former arch-enemies, Sweden and Denmark, became close friends ruled by cousins.
Donald Trump's press conference on December 16th reiterated the heat is on India too.
