The couple’s early years together may have been challenging, for Henry had to overcome his suspicions of his Yorkist bride and deal with her dangerous relations. Yet she clearly left him in no doubt as to where her loyalties lay. As time passed, he clearly grew to love, trust and respect her, and they seem to have become emotionally close. There survives good evidence that she loved him, and a moving account of how they comforted each other when their eldest son died. — Alison Weir

♚ @dailytudors: TUDOR WEEK 2025 ♚

day two | most interesting Tudor relationship - familial or romantic

The start of the Tudor dynasty was solidified by the marriage of Henry VII, King of England, who won the battle of Bosworth with his Lancastrian forces, and the Yorkist Princess Elizabeth, who was the eldest living daughter and child of Edward IV, King of England, the first Yorkist King. A marriage that started as an alliance between two warring factions (and two meddling mothers-in-law) developed into a deep mutual love and affection, producing seven children, with three reaching adulthood. He is one of the Kings of England to have no acknowledged mistress during his marriage which during an age of Kings having mistresses is a rare feat. On the death of their eldest son and heir, both were visibly distraught and consoled and comforted each other in their joint grief. When Elizabeth died Henry shut himself for days refusing to speak to anyone, with her death the warmth and gaiety left the court, leaving us with the miser Henry VII, King of England, known to popular historical imagination. The six years between their deaths Henry did not remarry and would later be buried with her sharing a joint tomb.
