Beaufort Portcullis Badge of the Tudors - Pint Glass 16oz

Beaufort Portcullis Badge of the Tudors The Beaufort Portcullis Badge is a heraldic symbol significant in British history, particularly during the Tudor dynasty. It features a portcullis, a medieval gateway barricade, which represents strength and fortitude. This badge originated from the House of Beaufort, a cadet branch of the Plantagenets, who played an essential role in the ascension of both King Henry VII (Tudor) and his wife Elizabeth of York to the English throne in 1485. The symbol was subsequently adopted by the Tudors as one of their key emblems, reflecting their claim to both the Lancaster (via Elizabeth of York) and York (via Henry Tudor) lines of the Plantagenets. This badge remains an enduring emblem of the Tudor period in British history.
