On this day in royal history . 28th January 1457 . King Henry VII was born . . ◼ Henry was born at Pembroke Castle in Wales on 28 January 1457 to the 13-year-old Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Richmond. His father, Edmund Tudor, 1st Earl of Richmond, died three months before his birth. . ◼ Born Henry Tudor, he later became king Henry VII & was the founder of the Tudor dynasty, unifying the warring factions in the Wars of the Roses. Although supported by Lancastrians & Yorkists alienated by Richard III’s usurpation, Henry VII’s first task was to secure his position. In 1486 he married Elizabeth of York, eldest daughter of Edward IV, thus uniting the Houses of York & Lancaster. . ◼ Henry’s reign (1485-1509) was troubled by revolts, sometimes involving pretenders (such as Perkin Warbeck & Lambert Simnel) who impersonated Edward V or his brother. With this in mind, n 1485, Henry formed a personal bodyguard from his followers known as the ‘Yeomen of the Guard’ (the oldest military corps in existence today). . ◼ Henry strengthened the power of the monarchy by using traditional methods of government to tighten royal administration & increase revenues (reportedly including a daily examination of accounts). Royal income rose from an annual average of £52,000 to £142,000 by the end of Henry’s reign. Little co-operation between King & Parliament was required; during Henry’s reign of 24 years, seven Parliaments sat for some ten & a half months. . ◼ Henry used dynastic royal marriages to establish his dynasty in England & help maintain peace. One daughter, Margaret, was married to James IV of Scotland (from whom Mary, Queen of Scots & her son, James VI of Scotland & James I of England, were descended); the other daughter married Louis XII of France. . ▪ Henry spent money shrewdly & left a full treasury on his death in 1509. . . . #OnThisDayInHistory #ThisDayinHistory #HenryTudor #HenryVII #KingHenryVII #HisMajesty #HouseofTudor #TheTudors #Royalty #TheTudors #TudorDynasty #History #Monarchy #KingofEngland #EnglishMonarchy #D28Jan #BritishMonarchy #Pembroke #wales #Tudor #heritage #Theking #Monarch #artoftheday #RoyalCollection #onthisday #royalfamily #Historic #otd (at Pembroke Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKmx9EEjTV9/?igshid=65aw5wpvshwk

Have been reading Alison Weir’s biography of Elizabeth of York. She was the daughter, sister, niece, wife & mother of kings. Henry VI married her to finally unite the houses of York & Lancaster under the Tudor rose. She faced such terror growing up under the scheming Richard III. I’d like to think she thought of Henry as her white knight who saved her from an awful tyrant. Apparently, they did love each other very much. I wonder how much he thought of Elizabeth as he fought for the throne. For some reason, I picture Adian Quinn as Henry from Looking For Richard. I feel like she’s kind of overlooked - overshadowed by the queens during the War of the Roses & the queens that would marry her son, Henry VIII.
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.
