Product Description

The War of the Roses refers to various conflicts between 1455 and 1485 between the House of York, the white rose, and the House of Lancaster, the red rose, both having originated from the Plantagenet dynasty.

Wars between the Houses continued from the reign of Henry Vl through that of Edward lV to the time of Richard lll when, in 1485, Yorkist Richard was defeated at the Battle of Bosworth Field by Lancastrian Henry Tudor who later married Elizabeth of York, thus uniting both Houses hence the Tudor Rose, an amalgamation of both emblems, and the commencement of the Tudor period.

All our beer tankards and jacks are handmade from natural materials which can never be consistent in colour. Whilst every endeavour is made to control colour consistency, each item is offered as an individual piece. However, it will always be the actual colour ordered.

If you would prefer a personalised beer tankard or jack, please do use the “Add Personalisation” option above.  More information regarding personalisation can be found here.

Historically, leather tankards were lined with either boiled Resin of the birch tree, Brewer’s Pitch, or Beeswax. Our full grain leather tankards and jacks are lined with an epoxy resin to echo the historic use of resin whilst having the visual appearance of Brewer’s pitch. The resin we use is fully certified for use in both the food and alcohol industries.
