The Last Plantaganets

I'm this day in history the 14th if August 1473 Margaret Pole was born. She was born the daughter of George Plantaganet, 1st Duke of Clarence and Isabelle Neville. She was the second birn child but she and her younger brother Edward woukd be the only children to survive infancy out of their mothers 4 births.

In 1487 she was married to Richard Pole, a man who'd fought on the side of Henry VII in the Battle.of Bosworth Feild. She would serve under 2 Tudor kings and even raised Princess Mary Tudor the first Queen Regnant of England.(Mary I. Daughter of Henry VIII and Catalina de Aragon)

She is a tragic figure in history as she had a chaotic childhood being orphaned at a young age and her eventual death wasn't of natural causes but a botched execution in 1540.

To this day she remains a strong and pittied character in history for the troubles the world threw at her. Through everything she kept her head high and did her duty until the very end.

Birth of the final Reigning Tudor Rose

On this day in history the 7th of September 1533 Anne Boleyn gave birth to Princess Elizabeth Tudor in the early hours of the morning in Palace of Placentia Greenwich.

Even though she was a girl her father King Henry VIII was overjoyed. A healthy girl was a sign of healthy sons to follow. Sadly it was not Anne's fate to birth a living son.

The baby was Christened Elizabeth Tudor after both of her grandmother's Queen Elizabeth of York and Lady Elizabeth Howard.

Although when would be named a bastard three years later she would go on to be the greatest Tudor Monarch and the final of the dynasty. She loved to the age of 69 and was known as The Virgin Queen. She used the example of her father and grandfather Henry VII and Great grandfather Edward IV to model her reign. She followed their example and was one of Britain's greatest Monarchs.

On 1 May 1500, Henry VII and Elizabeth of York sailed for Calais for a diplomatic visit to Philip, Duke of Burgundy and his wife, Juana of Castile.

Ties between England and Burgundy had always been strong, as the wool and cloth trade between the two nations was an important factor in both their economies. However, the support of the Dowager Duchess of Burgundy, Margaret of York, for Perkin Warbeck had created difficulties. These were resolved (in theory) by the Treaty of 1496 – the Intercursus Magnus, agreed between Henry VII and Philip. This gave England very favourable terms in the hope of English support for Burgundy against France.
