The Waterford City Coat of Arms and Motto - Urbs Intacta Manet Waterfordia

The Waterford City motto Urbs Intacta Manet Waterfordia ("Waterford remains the untaken city") was granted by King Henry VII of England in 1497 after Waterford refused to recognise the claims of the pretenders Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck to the English throne. Copyright Waterford Pictures.
