Seymour Unicorn – History
Henry VIII presented Jane Seymour with the Seymour Unicorn, a symbol of purity and fertility. It wears a royal coronet and is decked with daisies and roses, distinguishing it from the Unicorn of Scotland. It has a horse’s body, lion’s tail, goat’s hooves and beard, and a spiralled horn. The Unicorn wears a gold collar and chain and is adorned with a 6-quartered shield of the Seymour family, indicating the taming of a wild beast.
