History
The Red Dragon of Wales comes to Queen Elizabeth II through King Henry VII, the first monarch of the House of Tudor. Henry VII used the red dragon on his battle standard at the Battle of Bosworth in which his victory ended the House of Yorks rule. Henry VII claimed Welsh heritage through his father, Owen Tudor.
