The Greyhound of Richmond

The Royal Family has favoured dogs as pets for centuries. Adopted as a heraldic symbol by Edward III, the greyhound symbolises loyalty, honour and celerity. It is said that Henry VIII attached a special importance to the Greyhound of Richmond, since it was a heraldic emblem adopted by both the Lancasters and the Tudors and thus served to emblemise the Tudors’ dynastic right to the throne of England.
