The legend says that in a prophetic dream, George Plantagenet, 1st Duke of Clarence saw a bull that symbolised House York. The bull represented their dreams and desires for the English throne because it was robust and powerful.

This dream was thought to have predicted the House of York's eventual demise, which did occur.
