The Tudor Beasts were created during the reign of Henry VIII to legitimize the Tudor dynasty through the symbolic traits carried by each of the ten distinct beasts. Five of the beasts belonged to the King and the other five to the Queen.
The Lion of England is represented as a fierce and courageous beast and has been featured on the shield of England since its creation in the 12th century. The lion represents courage, strength, dignity and pride - Traits that were not found on animals native to the country at the time, and for that reason they chose the mighty feline to represent them.
