How long did the fleur-de-lys serve as a symbol of French royalty?

  1. More than 500 years

  2. More than 800 years

  3. More than 1,000 years

  4. More than 1,500 years

The correct answer is: More than 1,000 years

The fleur-de-lys served as a symbol of French royalty from the 12th century until the end of the monarchy in the 18th century, making it a total of more than 1,000 years. Options A and B are incorrect because they do not represent the full extent of time that the fleur-de-lys was used as a symbol of French royalty. Option D is incorrect because 1,500 years would mean that the fleur-de-lys was used as a symbol of French royalty since ancient times, which is not the case.
