Elizabeth I, The Pelican Portrait, circa 1575, attributed to Nicholas Hilliard. So called from the jewel at the queen's breast. In popular mythology the pelican was an exemplar of natural piety that sacrificed itself by offering its own blood to its young. Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.

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 17 April 1534, Sir Thomas More was confined to the Tower of London 🏰
More was one of Henry VIII’s most trusted civil servants as well as a lawyer, a knight, an esteemed scholar (he coined the word ‘Utopia’ for his eponymous book of 1516) and was eventually appointed Lord Chancellor in 1529. However, he was also a loyal Catholic, and not long after taking the post as Chancellor he argued against Henry’s divorce and split with Rome, and resigned. Having dared to disagree with the King, he was imprisoned in the Tower for over a year before being executed on 6 July 1535.
In this painting from 1863, the artist William Frederick Yeames reimagines More’s final farewell to his daughter, Margaret Roper, considered one of the most learned women in sixteenth-century England.
