William II, Rufus (1087-1100), Henry I (1100-1135), Stephen (1135-1154), Henry II (1154-1189)

Whether any of these used a Royal Standard is unknown.

From William I up to (but not including) Richard I, two lions, passant guardant. Davies in "The Isles" explains that Duke Rollo of Normandy (ancestor of William) had a lion on his banner, and two lions had been on Normandy's banner (still are) by the early 1000's. Still used by Plantagenets as Henry II claimed throne through his Norman mother. The second lion therefore cannot stand for England, but I have seen that they stood for Normandy and Maine; however, heraldry apparently wasn't that standardized by then to allow for this.

Richard I adds a lion, as that was the symbol of Aquitaine (still is) and he was Duke (pre-king). Again, not sure if heraldry allowed for this then. In any event, three lions.
