Kent, a county in England, proudly adopts the motto "Invicta." This association stems from an historical event involving William the Conqueror. When William attempted to invade England, the story goes that the men of Kent met him not with weapons, but with boughs, indicating their peaceful intentions yet firm stand. They negotiated their rights and essentially remained "undefeated" or "unconquered." This resilient spirit of the Kentish men is encapsulated in the word "Invicta."
