The Swan was a favourite motif of Henry VIII and Edward III so there is always a possibility that a pub sign featuring a swan was a nod in the direction of that particular royal. It is also featured in the arms of The Vintners' Company, the Poulters' Company, the Musicians' Company and the Earl of Essex.
The swan is a royal bird and regarded as the property of the crown. In this picture, it is shown chained with a crown round its neck.
