Duke of Finland
Bengt Birgersson, the first Duke of Finland (1254–91, Duke from 1284 until 1291), and Valdemar Magnusson, the second Duke (died 1318, Duke of Finland from 1302 until 1317), both used the later Folkunga coat of arms, which was a crowned lion rampant with three bends sinister, the main difference being that Valdemar's arms had the field strewn with hearts ("Figure 3"). This version of the arms was quite similar to the modern coat of arms of Finland, but the lion did not yet brandish any weapon.
