Henry VIII traced part of his royal ancestry through his grandmother, Lady Margaret Beaufort, and used the Yale of Beaufort to emphasise the strength and legitimacy of his claim to the throne.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough Jane Seymour did not have a direct Beaufort connection, the Yale was transferred to her collection of heraldic symbols by Henry VIII and appears amongst the Royal Beasts guarding Hampton Court Palace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDavid Lawrence’s Reverse Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned by sculptor and illustrator \u003cstrong\u003eDavid Lawrence\u003c\/strong\u003e, the reverse presents the Yale of Beaufort standing proudly behind a shield.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChains are wrapped around the creature’s body whilst its distinctive horns, tusks and other mythical features are rendered in sharp detail.
