This attractive badge shows the Tudor rose and pomegranate joined together. The pomegranate was the badge of Catherine of Aragon, and the rose was the principle badge of the Tudor Kings. Catherine married two of King Henry VII’s sons, Prince Arthur in 1501 and, following Arthur’s death, Henry (the future King Henry VIII) in 1509. This badge would most likely have been produced at the time of one of these marriages as a form of cheap souvenir, a tradition that survives to this day!
Shakespeare Solved
'On the 21st of December, 1564, during the prevalence of a hard frost, we read of diversions on the Thames, some playing at football, and others "shooting at marks." The courtiers from the palace at Whitehall mixed with the citizens, and tradition reports that Queen Elizabeth herself walked upon the ice. On the night of the 3rd of January following, however, it began to thaw, and on the 5th there was no ice to be seen on the river.'- Thomas Tegg
