As the sole heir to the Duke of Somerset, John Beaufort, Lady Margaret Beaufort carried on the image of the Yale as a heraldic beast from her familys history. She would ultimately pass it forward to her son, Henry, who was born of her second marriage. Henry would later defeat King Richard II and take the throne as King Henry VII. He was the founder of the House of Tudor and was the first monarch in the infamous Tudor Dynasty.

Lady Margaret was an influential woman in her time, and was known for her part in establishing Christs College and St. Johns College.
