Description

All of the creatures depicted in the Queen’s Beast Series come to the Royal Arms of England from a unique historical standpoint. The Yale of Beaufort is both one of the most distinctive beasts and one that arguably has the most unique background story. The Yale of Beaufort was never hoisted by a monarch, but it was important to King Henry VII, founder of the House of Tudor.

On the reverse of 2019 British Gold Queen’s Beast Yale of Beaufort Coins is the mythical Yale. The Yale was depicted in various different forms throughout British history, with the most common beastly forms including an antelope or goat. Based on the level of imagination from the artist, the beast could represent grace and elegance or determination and strength.

The Yale of Beaufort was the symbol of Lady Margaret Beaufort. The daughter and only heiress of John Beaufort, Duke of Somerset, Margaret would marry four times in her lifetime. Her second marriage to Edmund Tudor resulted in a son who would go on to take the crown of England as King Henry VII to end the Wars of the Roses. Henry VII was the first monarch in the House of Tudor and reestablished Lancastrian rule over England after a period of Yorkist rule.
