TUDOR WEEK 2021 | Day Four: Favourite Romantic Relationship | ELIZABETH OF YORK and HENRY VII
Tudor Week - Day 4: Favourite Tudor Romantic Relationship/s
Catherine of Valois and Owen Tudor
“The story of how Owen and Catherine fell in love has been embroidered over the centuries. One 16th century Welsh source related how the queen watched her servant bathing naked and was enticed by his beauty. Another tale claimed that Owen danced so vigariously at a celebration that he fell into her lap. However their romance began and exactly when are still obscured by these myths, but the outcome of their relationship is not in question. Owen and Catherine married secretly, over the course of their relationship the couple had four children: three sons and a daughter. The daughter died young and the third son went into the church, but the two oldest boys, Edmund and Jasper, may have grown up in their mother’s household. Owen and Catherine’s marriage seemes to have been an open secret. Edmund and Jasper were born at the manors of important bishops and Henry VI himself never criticized his mother’s relationship.” — “Shadow King: The Life and Death of Henry VI” by Lauren Johnson

Tudor Week 2021 | Day 1: Favourite Tudor Monarch
“By securing the throne following Edward’s attempts to bar both his sisters, she ensured that the crown continued along the legal line of Tudor succession. Mary laid down other important precedents that would benefit her sister. Upon her accession as the first queen regnant of England, she redefined royal ritual and law, thereby establishing that a female ruler, married or unmarried, would enjoy identical power and authority to male monarchs. Mary was the Tudor trailblazer, a political pioneer whose reign redefined the English monarchy.” — Anna Whitelock, Mary Tudor: Princess, Bastard, Queen

Tudor Week 2021 / Day 1: Favourite Tudor Monarch/s // Elizabeth I
On learning of her accession as the queen of England Elizabeth Tudor quoted Psalm 118, saying: “This is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes.” Elizabeth was expressing her thanks to God for preserving her life for this elevation after the troubled and dangerous events of her childhood and early youth. This quote also proved prophetic for her queenship, which became indeed ‘marvelous’. Declared an illegitimate child, at some time nearly deprived of any chance of ever succeeding to the throne, a woman and an unmarried queen, – despite these difficulties and what was seen as weakness, she managed to resolve and mitigate the first and turn the second to advantage. As her contemporaries remarked, Elizabeth was as both king and queen, and with her strong political and diplomatic sense and a talent of state governance her reign became not merely successful, but worthy of being called glorious.
