Fun fact, a lot of european medieval artists (monks mainly) had no idea what a lion properly looked like. This got better after the crusades and more christian influence was present in North Africa, but there are many examples of lions being drawn strangely and in a "dog-like" manner, probably explains your confusion with the white lion... just a clergical artist who was described that a lion "looks like a big dog with fur around it's head" :D

3:09 there's a legend about it. King named Bruncvík was on a world tour and he saved lion from dragon. Then the lion traveled faithfully by his side and fought with him in many battles. When they came home, Bruncvík had paint the lion in his coat of arms.
The lion has two tails, because in some battle somebody cut his tail in two.

1:00 actually there was a Czech state before, it was called Great Moravia (Veľká Morava) and it concurred Slovakia, parts of Poland, today Hungary and more to the south, but I’m not sure how much, but then Hungarians came from the east and win against Great Moravia, Slovakia became a part of Hungary and the duchy of Bohemia was created.
