Why Are They Called Beefeaters?
Answer A Beefeater is the popular name for the for the Yeomen Warders of Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London. Their original duties were to look after prisoners in the Tower and to safeguard the Crown Jewels. Nowadays, they act mainly as tour guides and, because of their historic uniforms, they are a tourist attraction themselves. The origin of the name "Beefeater" is not clear, but some historians believe it is because they received beef as part of their wages. Beefeater is a brand of gin. Beefeater is the nickname for the guards at the Tower of London, one of these guards is pictured on the label.
What is the thing that a beefeater guard holds called?
The Beefeaters (correctly called the Yeoman Warders) are a ceremonial guard for the Tower of London. The word Beefeater is often applied wrongly to the Yeomen of the Guard who are a ceremonial bodyguard for the monarch. Traditionally, they carry a weapon called a partisan. The partisan is a spear with an ornate base mounted on a long pole. (Note - this is NOT the same as a halberd, which is a combination axe and spear on a long pole.)
