It is obscure why Richard chose the name but it emphasised Richard's hierarchal status as Geoffrey's, and six English kings', patrilineal descendant during the Wars of the Roses. It was actually Richard of York, 3rd Duke of York who adopted the Plantagenet name for him and his descendants in the 15th century. King Edward II further added the golden castle of Castile, inherited from his mother Eleanor of Castile. His son Edward I in addition to these, added the golden rose device that he inherited from his mother Eleanor of Provence. King Henry III adopted the broom sprig and the star and crescent. King Richard I used a star and crescent device, which was also adopted by his brother King John. King Henry II used the 'planta genista' as well as an escarbuncle. The Plantagenet kings would use this badge, sometimes combining it with other more personal devices. The heraldic device also became the name of the dynasty that was borne from him, which was to rule England for over 300 years. The broom plant or Plantegenest ( planta genista in medieval Latin), thus became Geoffrey's nickname " Plantagenet". The earliest royal heraldic badge is a sprig of common broom, said to have been worn by Geoffrey of Anjou in his cap. These are found in the glass and fabric of royal palaces and memorial chapels, and sometimes in the houses of those who enjoyed or anticipated royal patronage. They are invariably simple devices, and numerous examples were adopted and inherited by various sovereigns. Royal badges have been in use since the earliest stages of English heraldry. From a manuscript (1478-1480) of the Speculum historiale belonging to King Edward IV of England. The White Rose en Soleil (imposed on a sun in splendour) of the House of York, on the livery colours blue and murrey of the Yorkist dynasty, surrounded by the royal motto ' Dieu et mon droit'.
