The Lion and the Unicorn Were fighting for the crown; The Lion beat the Unicorn All about the town.br>
Some gave them white bread And some gave them brown; Some gave them plum cake And drummed them out of town!
nursery rhyme
The Lion and the Unicorn are featured as the supporters on the Royal Coat of Arms. I have heard it said that the Lion is the British throne, and the Unicorn is the Scottish throne, at war for centuries until united by James I/James VI (depending on where you're from).
