The man who was Prince of Wales in 1399 came from what dynastic English house?
Dunstable Swan Jewel The Dunstable Swan Jewel is a gold and enamel brooch in the form of a swan made in England or France in about 1400 and now in the British Museum, where it is on display in Room 40. It was excavated in 1965 on the site of Dunstable Friary, and is presumed to have been intended as a livery badge given by an important figure to his supporters; the most likely candidate is probably the future Henry V of England, who was Prince of Wales from 1399.
Duke of Somerset Duke of Somerset is a title in the peerage of England that has been created several times. Derived from the county of Somerset, it is particularly associated with two families: the Beauforts who held the title from the creation of 1448, and the Seymours from the creation of 1547, in whose name the title is still held. The present dukedom is unique, in that the first holder of the title created it for himself in his capacity of Lord Protector of the Kingdom of England, using a power granted in the Will of his nephew King Edward VI.
