Summary
| Description |
English: The Queen's Beasts are ten heraldic statues representing the genealogy of Queen Elizabeth II, depicted as the Royal supporters of England.
The red dragon (Welsh: Y Ddraig Goch) is an ancient Welsh symbol, and a badge used by Owen Tudor. His grandson, Henry VII, took it as a token of his supposed descent from Cadwaladr, the last of the line of Maelgwn. The beast holds a shield bearing a lion in each quarter; this was the coat of arms of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, the last native Prince of Wales.
Italiano: Le Bestie della regina (Queen's Beasts) sono dieci statue araldiche che rappresentano la genealogia della regina Elisabetta II, raffigurano i supporti reali dell'Inghilterra.
Il drago rosso (gallese: Y Ddraig Goch) è un antico simbolo gallese e un distintivo usato da Owen Tudor. Suo nipote, Enrico VII, lo prese come segno della sua presunta discendenza da Cadwaladr, l'ultimo della stirpe di Maelgwn. La bestia tiene uno scudo con un leone in ogni quarto; questo era lo stemma di Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, l'ultimo principe nativo del Galles. |
