Tudor emblem ultimately wanting, I had to retreat in confusion (8)
I believe the answer is:
disorder
'confusion' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for disorder that I've seen before include "Riders do (anag)" , "breach of the peace" , "Chaos" , "Muddle" , "Disturbance of normal working, as of mind or body" .)
