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.
The griffin of Edward III Queen's Beast is an ancient mythical beast. It was considered a beneficent creature, signifying courage and strength combined with guardianship, vigilance, swiftness and keen vision. It was closely associated with Edward III who engraved it on his private seal. The shield shows the Round Tower of Windsor Castle (where Edward III was born) with the Royal Standard flying from the turret, enclosed by two branches of oak surmounted by the royal crown.

Il grifone di Edoardo III è un'antica bestia mitica. Era considerato una creatura benefica, che significava coraggio e forza combinati con tutela, vigilanza, rapidità e visione acuta. Era strettamente associato a Edoardo III che lo incise sul suo sigillo privato. Lo scudo mostra la Torre Rotonda del Castello di Windsor (dove nacque Edoardo III) con lo Stendardo Reale che sventola dalla torretta, racchiuso da due rami di quercia sormontati dalla corona reale. |
