Coat of armsEngland and France, quarteredRoyal shield used by Elizabeth I, 1558-1603Read the symbolClose the story
The fleurs-de-lis of France alternate with the three lions of England. Quartering puts separate heraldic claims together on one shield.
This form was used by Elizabeth I and several earlier Tudor monarchs. Mary I used a different combination. The illustration shows the shield alone, without crown, supporters or motto.
BadgeThe Tudor roseTudor dynasty, 1485-1603Read the symbolClose the story
Five red outer petals surround five white inner petals. The two colours are combined within a single flower.
A dynastic badge, distinct from the royal coat of arms. This larger study preserves the rose that appeared in the first illustrated version of this volume.

Made for Dylanvir LLC · about these images
The painted portraits and landscapes were created here with Codex image generation from our original prompts, written for this collection. They are original generated illustrations, not photographs or reproductions of archival portraits.
Each house portrait accompanies a person already named in its account. Faces, clothing, and settings are imagined; a realistic painting does not establish a historical likeness. Entries without a named figure keep their text without an invented representative.
The flags and heraldic drawings are original illustrations for Dylanvir LLC, drawn with Codex after their linked historical references. The designs themselves belong to their historical or living traditions. Captions distinguish flags, coats of arms, parts of arms, and badges, and identify the period and use shown.
This reading keeps the wording of the atlas's public house entry. The people named here are those in this entry, not a complete family tree. About the sources ↗
