Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The Queen's Beasts are ten heraldic statues representing the genealogy of Queen Elizabeth II, depicted as the Royal supporters of England.
From the end of the 16th century, two unicorns were adopted as the supporters of the Scottish Royal Arms. In 1603 the crown of England passed to James VI of Scotland, who then became James I of England. He took as supporters of his royal arms a crowned lion of England and one of his Scottish unicorns. The unicorn holds a shield showing the royal arms of Scotland, a lion rampant within a double tressure flory-counter-flory.
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.
Dalla fine del XVI secolo, due unicorni furono adottati come sostegni dello stemma reale scozzese (l'unicorno è considerato nemico del leone). Nel 1603 la corona d'Inghilterra passò a Giacomo VI di Scozia, che divenne poi Giacomo I d'Inghilterra. Ha preso come sostenitori delle sue armi reali un leone incoronato d'Inghilterra e uno dei suoi unicorni scozzesi. L'unicorno tiene uno scudo che mostra le armi reali della Scozia, un leone rampante all'interno di una doppia bordura controfiorita. |
