Yale of Beaufort – one of the most powerful women in England during the Wars of the Roses was Lady Margaret Beaufort. Her only child, Henry Tudor, would go on to become King Henry VII, first monarch of the House of Tudor. The Yale of Beaufort comes from Lady Margaret’s paternal lineage and showcases the common English depiction of the mythical beast, that of a creature with the body of a goat, boar’s tusks, and horns on its head. The Yale of Beaufort supports a shield with the Beaufort badge and a portcullis at the center that is surmounted by a royal crown.
