On 18 January 1486 he married Elizabeth of York, daughter of Edward IV, bringing together the houses of Lancaster and York. Their union was represented heraldically by combining the red rose associated with Lancaster and the white rose associated with York to create the Tudor Rose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe emblem became an important part of Tudor royal imagery. The National Archives describes the Tudor Rose as a symbol used by Henry VII to represent the restoration of peace and subsequently by Henry VIII to emphasise the continuation of that settlement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the 16th century the rose appeared extensively in architecture, manuscripts, royal decoration, heraldry and seals. It remained an important emblem under later Tudor monarchs and can be seen prominently on both sides of the Second Great Seal of Elizabeth I. The National Archives identifies the Tudor Rose specifically as the emblem of the Tudor monarchs and a symbol representing England.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts balanced floral form and strong association with the Tudor period have made it one of the most enduring historical symbols of England, particularly associated with Henry VII, Henry VIII and Elizabeth I.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeal Legend:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no historical legend inherent to this design.
