The Falcon of the Plantagenets holds a special place among Britain’s royal heraldic symbols. Long associated with the noble tradition of falconry, the bird reflects qualities admired by medieval rulers, including focus, speed, sharp vision, and strength. These traits helped establish the falcon as a fitting symbol of leadership, authority, and sound judgment.
