Golden bull A golden bull or chrysobull was a decree issued by Byzantine Emperors and later by monarchs in Europe during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, most notably by the Holy Roman Emperors. The term was originally coined for the golden seal (a "bulla aurea"), attached to the decree, but came to be applied to the entire decree. Such decrees were known as golden bulls in western Europe and "chrysobullos logos", or chrysobulls, in the Byzantine Empire (χρυσός, "chrysos", being Greek for gold).

Symbols of Europe A number of symbols of Europe have emerged since antiquity. In present day, each of these may either apply to the continent as a whole, European "unity" or specifically to the European Union (EU). Several symbols were introduced in the 1950s and 1960s by the Council of Europe (CoE). In addition to those of Pan-European identity, the EU has created additional symbols for itself through its integration.

Golden Speech The Golden Speech was delivered by Queen Elizabeth I of England to 141 Members of the Commons (including the Speaker), on 30 November 1601. It was a speech that was expected to be addressing some pricing concerns, based on the recent economic issues facing the country. Surprisingly, she revealed that it would be her final Parliament and turned the mode of the speech to addressing the love and respect she had for the country, her position, and the Members themselves. It is the second such speech for which Queen Elizabeth I was noted, the first, the Speech to the Troops at Tilbury, having been given to English forces in preparation for the Spanish Armada's expected invasion. The Golden Speech has been taken to mark a symbolic end of Elizabeth's reign, one which is widely considered one of the Golden Eras of England's history. Elizabeth died 16 months later in March 1603 and was succeeded by her first cousin twice removed, James VI of Scotland and I of England.
