TUDOR WEEK 2024

Day 6: Favorite Tudor Couple - Elizabeth of York and Henry VII

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, Arthur, died. -- Alison Weir, Elizabeth of York: The First Tudor Queen/Elizabeth of York: A Tudor Queen and Her World

TUDORWEEK2024 - DAY ONE: Your Favourite Tudor (members of the family that were born Tudors)

Elizabeth Tudor (September 7 1533 - March 24 1603)

‘All the trumpets, and knights and lords, and Heralds of Arms...and all the Bishops in scarlet, and the Queen, and all the footmen waiting upon the Queen to Westminster Hall; there met all the Bishops and all the Chapel with three crosses and in their copes, the Bishops mitred, and singing Salva festa dies; and all the street laid with gravel, and blue cloth unto the Abbey, and railed on every side, and so to the Abbey to Mass, and there her Grace was crowned’.

Day Six: Favourite Tudor Couple - Elizabeth I & Robert Dudley

Elizabeth’s relationship with Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, was perhaps the most important in her life. The savage possessiveness with which she wrote of him - ‘a creature of our own’, as she described him, with all the imperiousness of the royal ‘we’ - in no way diminished his importance in her eyes. For a woman so short of surviving blood relations, he was the nearest thing she had to family. By the time Robert died in 1588 (at which point Elizabeth shut herself up in grief, until her ministers broke down the door of her room), he had been her councillor, her unofficial consort and commander of her army. He had loved her, advised her, understood her, sat by her bed in sickness and represented her on state occasions; she had raised him, the son and grandson of convicted traitors, to be the greatest man in the land.

@dailytudors TUDOR WEEK 2024 : Day 3 - Wednesday, 16th of October: Best Tudor What If?

What if Mary I of England have given birth to a son …

On May 9, 1555, in the early hours of the morning, Mary I of England gave birth to a son after a protracted and arduous night of labor. Named Henry in honor of his grandfather, the formidable Henry VIII, this child marked a pivotal moment in European history.

Overwhelmed with relief and joy, Mary felt a profound sense of fulfillment in achieving her long-desired aspiration for a legitimate Catholic heir. His birth not only represented a personal triumph but also symbolized the strengthening of the dynastic alliance between England and Spain through his father,Philip of Spain . This event generated considerable political implications, as it reinforced Philip’s influence over English affairs and signaled a potential stabilization of Catholic power in England amid the turbulent landscape of the Reformation. The arrival of Prince Henry, therefore, held the promise of a more unified Catholic monarchy, altering the trajectory of religious and political conflicts in Europe for decades to come.

TUDORWEEK2024: Day 2 -  Favourite Tudor contemporary quote about or said by the Tudor family

“There is a strong idea in the world that a woman cannot live unless she is married, or at all events that if she refrains from marriage she does so for some bad reason… But what can we do ? We cannot cover everybody’s mouth, but must content ourselves with doing our duty and trust in God, for the truth will at last be made manifest. He knows my heart, which is very different from what people think, as you will see some day.”

Elizabeth I of England to Spanish ambassador Diego Guzmán de Silva, 24 March 1565.
