Brief History of the Royal Dragon
The Royal Dragon has been associated with Wales and the Tudor family for more than 500 years. Adopted by Henry VII following his victory at the Battle of Bosworth, the red dragon became a powerful emblem of the Tudor dynasty and its Welsh heritage. Today, it stands as one of the most iconic heraldic symbols in British history and serves as the final release in The Royal Tudor Beasts collection, developed in collaboration with Historic Royal Palaces.
