|||
The '''Tudor rose''' (sometimes called the English Rose) is a traditional [[heraldic badge|heraldic emblem]] of [[England]] and takes its name and origins from the [[Tudor dynasty]]. |
|||
==Origins== |
|||
When [[Henry VII of England|Henry Tudor]] took the crown of [[England]] from [[Richard III of England|Richard III]] in battle, he brought about the end of the [[Wars of the Roses]] between the [[House of Lancaster]] (whose badge was a red rose) and the [[House of York]] (whose badge was a white rose). His father was [[Edmund Tudor]] from the [[Earl of Richmond|House of Richmond]], and his mother was [[Lady Margaret Beaufort|Margaret Beaufort]] from the House of Lancaster; he married [[Elizabeth of York]] to bring all factions together. |
|||
On his marriage, Henry adopted the Tudor Rose badge conjoining the [[White Rose of York]] and the [[Red Rose of Lancaster]]. The Tudor Rose is occasionally seen divided vertically (in [[heraldry|heraldic terms]] ''per pale'') red and white.<ref>Wise, p. 22</ref> More often, the Tudor Rose is depicted as a double rose<ref>Fox-Davies, ''Heraldry'', p. 187</ref>, white on red if placed on a field of a metal (gold or silver), or red on white if placed on a field of a colour, due to the [[rule of tincture]]. |
|||
==Role and uses== |
|||
===Historical uses=== |
|||
[[Image:Henry VIII Catherine of Aragon coronation woodcut.jpg|right|thumb|250px|16th century woodcut of the coronation of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon shows them with their badges, the Tudor rose and the pomegranate.]] |
|||
During his reign, [[Henry VIII of England|Henry VIII]] had the "[[Round Table (Camelot)|Round Table]]" at [[Winchester Castle]] — then believed to be genuine — repainted. The new paint scheme included a Tudor Rose in the center. |
|||
The Tudor rose badge might be ''slipped and crowned'', that is, shown as a cutting with a stem and leaves beneath a crown; this badge appears in [[Nicholas Hilliard]]'s "Pelican Portrait" of [[Elizabeth I of England|Elizabeth I]]. |
|||
The Tudor rose might also be ''dimidiated'' (cut in half and combined with half another emblem) to form a compound badge. The [[Westminster Tournament Roll]] includes a badge of Henry and his first wife [[Catherine of Aragon]] with a slipped Tudor rose conjoined with Catherine's personal badge, the [[pomegranate]]<ref>Fox-Davies, ''Heraldry'', p. 336</ref>; their daughter [[Mary I of England|Mary I]] bore the same badge.<ref>Boutell, p. 229</ref> [[James I of England|James I of England and VI of Scotland]] used a badge of a Tudor rose dimidiated with a thistle and surmounted by a royal crown.<ref>Fox-Davies, ''Badges'', p. 117; Boutell 1909 gives this badge as a rose (not a Tudor rose) dimidiated by a thistle.</ref> |
|||
===Contemporary uses=== |
|||
The Tudor rose is used as the plant badge of England, as [[Scotland]] uses the [[thistle]], [[Ireland]] uses the [[shamrock]], and [[Wales]] uses the [[leek]]. As such, it is seen on the dress uniforms of the [[Yeomen Warders]] at the [[Tower of London]], and of the [[Yeomen of the Guard]]. It features on the [[British Twenty Pence coin]] and the [[Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom]]. It also features, albeit subtly, on the [[Coat of arms of Canada]]. |
