#Countess of Ulster

[tiaramania]

Which tiara did Claire Booth (Countess of Ulster upon marriage) use at her wedding?

I don’t know. It’s one of those mystery tiaras that no one has been able to solve yet. There’s been speculation that it belongs to her mother-in-law, the Duchess of Gloucester, but I’ve never seen any proof of that or of it being worn at any other time. Here are some pictures of the wedding of Alexander & Claire Windsor, the Earl & Countess of Ulster. Forgive the tiara hair it was 2002.

On October 26th 1327 Elizabeth de Burgh, Queen Consort of Robert the Bruce died at Cullen Castle, Banffshire.

Note sources disagree and some say October 27th.

In 1302 Elizabeth de Burgh married Robert Bruce, Earl of Carrick, at Writtle, near Chelmsford in Essex. Bruce was a widower with a young daughter. He had first married Isabella of Mar who died, in 1296, a short time after giving birth to a daughter, Marjory Bruce. Elizabeth's father was one of the most powerful Irish nobles of the period, Richard Óg de Burgh, 2nd Earl of Ulster.

When The Bruce first stood up to English rule he was beset by defeat and he sent Elisabeth, Marjory, his sisters Christina and Mary Bruce, and Countess Isobel to Kildrummy Castle in the north, where his brother Neil was to protect them. Unfortunately the castle was laid to siege, the Royal women escaped but were captured not long after at the sanctuary of St Duthac at Tain in Easter Ross where William II, Earl of Ross violate the sanctity, later handing them over to the English. He seems to have been forgiven by The Bruce for this as his name appears on The Declaration of Arbroath in 1320, perhaps showing a merciful nature to King Robert.

Isobel was held captive in an iron cage at Berwick Castle. Robert’s younger sister, Mary Bruce, was locked into an iron cage at Roxburgh Castle. She was just 24 years old. Mary spent the next four years caged and humiliated. Her older sister Christian Bruce was shown more compassion and was imprisoned in a Gilbertine nunnery in Lincolnshire. Christian’s husband, Sir Christopher Seton, was hanged, drawn and beheaded at Dumfries.

Elizabeth was held prisoner in England. It is thought that she was better treated because her father Richard de Burgh, Earl of Ulster, was a close friend of King Edward I. Elizabeth spent the next eight years in captivity in Burstwick, Bisham Manor, Windsor Castle, Shaftesbury Abbey, Barking Abbey and Rochester Castle.

Marjory Bruce, Robert’s daughter, was only 12 years old when she was captured at Tain. At first King Edward decided that she would be locked into an iron cage and hung for all to see from the walls of the Tower of London. Edward relented and Marjory was held in a Gilbertine nunnery in Yorkshire.

After the Battle of Bannockburn the Bruce was able to trade English nobles for his family. Mary Bruce went on to be twice married and had a son, Iain. Christian Bruce married Sir Andrew Murray who later became guardian of Scotland. Christian later led the defence of the besieged Kildrummy Castle at 62 years old and lived to 84.

Elizabeth de Burgh and Robert the Bruce were reunited and went on to have four children - Matilda, Margaret, John and David, who would become David II, King of Scots. Elizabeth died on this day 1327 and was buried in Dunfermline Abbey.

Hi! This is probably going to sound very rambly but I'm really confused and my thoughts are all over the place

The Ricardian xenophobia and anti-Welsh prejudice against Henry VII's ascension is so sickening to see, but it's also ... extremely baffling? In my opinion, there's no other reason it could have originated other than Ricardian double standards.

Because..the Yorkists *also* had Welsh heritage. Edward IV emphasized his Welsh lineage as much Henry VII did and much earlier (highlighting his descent from Llewellyn, utilizing the prophecies of Cadwaladr and the struggle between the Red and White Dragon, etc). The first Welshman to be ennobled since Owain Glyndwr’s fight for freedom (William Herbert) was during his reign, and the fact that very few Welshmen bothered to obtain letters of denizenship during that time (literally *one* person from 1467—1483, and while one is obviously still too many, it's a significant drop from his predecessors and should absolutely be noted in a positive way) is a clear indication that he did not make much use of the Penal Code. Which is a good thing, obviously! Yet for some reason, this is conveniently ignored, even though we know for a fact that David Powel believed that Henry VIII’s Welsh heritage was from his mother Elizabeth of York rather than his father.

The Yorkists *also* had Irish heritage through Elizabeth de Burgh, Countess of Ulster & wife of Lionel of Antwerp, which is also conveniently ignored for ... reasons.

And the comparison between Elizabeth of York’s “English Plantagenet blood” versus Henry VII’s “Tudor blood” which I have seen from some Ricardians is so bizarre to me. Apart from her Welsh and Irish connections through her father as discussed above, Elizabeth of York’s grandmother was from Luxemburg. Her grandfather began his career as a simple English knight. The Woodvilles, as usual, are simultaneously vilified and entirely disregarded when talking about the supposed "end of the Plantagenets.

So like...I'm a little confused WHY people assume that Henry VII's ascension heralded this massive change in terms of nationality or bloodline? Like you mentioned, he was also directly descended from Edward III. His grandmother was the Queen of England, his uncle was the King of England and his mother was one of the wealthiest English heiresses of her time. And Owen Tudor was given letters of English denizenship after his marriage to Catherine of Valois, which would have passed to his sons and grandson.

Of course, when talking about the Plantagenets/Yorkists, I mainly focused on Edward IV and his children, which probably why it's barely taken into account. When people fantasize about the so-called “purity” of the Plantagenets and Yorkists, they’re mostly (99.9% of the time, tbh) talking about Richard III, the emblem of "Englishness" (🤮) in the Victorian era and other eras (although he's certainly not the only one - Henry V, Henry IV to an extent, Edward III, Richard Lionheart and Henry II are all viewed in a very similar way), and mindlessly swallowing Richard’s own propaganda again Henry VII.

(While this isn't completely related, I wouldn't feel comfortable sending this ask without it so I hope it's okay and it doesn't get too long. To be honest: the Tudors are ALSO seen as symbols of English nationalism by an overwhelming majority. They are probably the most famous and well-known English dynasty; a vast number of English history books literally start with the year 1485; the red-and-white Tudor rose is one of the most memorable symbols of the English monarchy; and a vast number of people view that era as the "golden age" of England; Henry VIII and Elizabeth I Tudor are probably the most well known English monarchs of all time. So I certainly don't feel comfortable believing that there's a one-sided negative view against them because that's objectively not true; they're seen in a very positive manner by the vast majority of people. Which is why the contrary claims are so confusing to me - they're so vehement, but they also make no sense whatsoever, and they're completely opposite from the positive and glorified view that - overwhelmingly imo, at least internationally - opposes them)

Sorry if any of this isn't framed properly, English isn't my first language. I can send an ask to clarify anything it it's too confusing to understand 😅

Hi! Sorry for taking so long to reply! I must admit that I lost you there in the end (sorry) but I think I got the gist of your ask. There are a couple of views regarding the 'Welshness' of the Tudors. Some people disregard it entirely because of the things you said by the end of your ask: Henry VIII's break with Rome and Elizabeth I's triumph against the Spanish invasion/armada have been regarded as hallmarks of the making of British (and by British, read: English) culture, as much as Henry V's fight against the French, for example. Of course, Henry VIII and Elizabeth I were not (culturally at least) Welsh, so I would find it equally weird to claim that 'Welsh' was the defining Tudor trait.

As Dr Adam Chapman highlighted in this podcast episode, there was no such thing as 'Wales' as a well-defined country. Welsh identity was cultural, political and based on language. What made Henry VII Welsh was not some x-times removed ancestor, but the fact that he spent his formative years 'in the most Welsh place imaginable' (William Herbert's household), that he most likely spoke Welsh, famously enjoyed Welsh culture (Welsh mead, Welsh music, openly promoted the cults and celebrations of Welsh saints such as Saint David & Saint Armel), promoted Welsh servants, and the fact that he was embraced as Welsh by the Welsh themselves.

But mostly, I think many people do not know that the Tudors were originally Welsh at all! Mostly, people who bemoan that aspect — even if, technically, only one Tudor monarch was Welsh — are the ones who like to romanticise Richard as the last true bastion of Englishness such as Philippa Gregory, Rosemary Jarman, John Ahsdown-Hill, Sandra Worth etc. It is ironic, as you said, because the Yorkists also had Welsh heritage, and when push comes to shove you'll find plenty of ricardians saying Richard was 'more Welsh' than Henry VII because of some ancestor x-times removed, even though Henry had a Welsh grandparent, was born in Wales, was raised in Wales, and grew up in a Welsh-speaking household where Welsh cultural traditions were held. Apparently, being Welsh is terrible unless it's time to say Henry VII was fake Welsh or was less Welsh than the Yorkists.

(never mind that Henry VII was also descended from Llewellyn the Great)

(also stupid because Henry VII never claim to be descended from King Arthur)

It doesn't matter if they don't consider Henry VII to have been very Welsh (or Welsh at all) because suddenly being Welsh is too cool for such an uncool guy like Henry Tudor. The Welsh people of his time viewed him as Welsh. He had all the right conditions to compete for the prophetic mab darogan title as explained here, and that's something considering a part of the Welsh people had been willing to accept even the Yorkists for the title at the time they were against the Lancastrian crown. Edward IV explored that advantage on some occasions, especially when it came to legitimising his rule via prophetic discourse.

However, as stated by Gruffydd Aled Williams, if Edward IV 'did not excite overmuch enthusiasm among the Welsh bards' (in the number of poems produced), it seems like Richard did not even come close to that. It's not that we find very few poems praising Edward's brother (I wonder if there are actually any), it's that the Welsh poets were especially harsh on Richard — he was compared to King Herod (who ordered the killing of the first-born sons), and called unchristian names such as 'saracen'. He was also called ableist names such as 'little Richard', 'deformed Richard', 'little raider', 'small Richard', 'feeble-bodied', 'little ape' and so on. From 1483 onwards, the bards who once had their loyalties divided between Jasper Tudor and Edward IV/William Herbert, unanimously united in Henry Tudor's favour.

Again, cultural identity mattered a lot, which seems to be conveniently forgotten when they decide that it's actually cool to be Welsh. Most of the time they don't seem to see it as good quality, though. The aspect of cultural identity matters when they like to explore the idea that the Tudors were not culturally English, so they didn't know and respect English traditions. It's not uncommon to see the claim that Chilvary died with Richard at Bosworth — Sandra Worth's “at Bosworth Field died the Age of Chivalry” — as if Henry VII didn't extensively engage with chilvaric performance (x, x) and discourse (x).

In my opinion, the real problem with this kind of discourse and re-imagination of the past is, of course, the very real anti-immigrant and English nationalist sentiment that has gained so much currency in Brexit-era England. Henry VII & his family are dead, they can't be offended by any of that — the immigrants who are associated with diseases according to that kind of rhetoric, for example, are not.

[simply-ellas-stuff]

I remember hearing or reading once a criticism about The Tudors TV show [I don't remember who by but I think it was either from someone here on Tumblr or someone on Tiktok, dunno, don't quote me on where from] and their opinion on the whole Buckingham plot because "There was no living Duke of Buckingham during Henry 8's reign" and its always bugged me.

Did you forget about Edward Stafford, Duke of Buckingham?? Nephew of Elizabeth Woodville and Edward IV. Son of Henry Stafford, Duke of Buckingham (executed by Richard iii) and Katherine Woodville.

Dude was executed for treason in 1521. Henry personally gathered the evidence against him, he was tried before 17 people, and convicted. He was accused of listening to prophecy about the kings death and intending to kill the king.

Like yes, he's majorly fictionalized - technically and a shit load of key facts are missing from The Tudors portrayal but the guy did exist. He was executed by Henry.

In The Tudors, he claims to be a descendant of King Edward III, which means he has a claim to the throne, which is True. Edward III -> Thomas of Woodstock -> Anne of Glouster -> Humphrey Stafford (1st Duke of Buckingham) -> Humphrey Stafford (Earl of Stafford) -> Henry Stafford (2nd Duke of Buckingham) -> *Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham*.

And technically speaking, I do believe that does in fact give him a claim by blood, but Henry's father won the throne by battle then legitimized his claim via marrying Elizabeth of York - she herself a granddaughter of Edward III via his sons Lionel and Edmund :: Edward III -> Lionel of Antwerp (Duke of Clarence) -> Philippa (Countess of Ulster) -> Roger Mortimer (Earl of March) -> Anne de Mortimer [m. Richard of Conisburgh] -> Richard Plantagent (3rd Duke of York) -> Edward IV -> **Elizabeth of York** -> *Henry VIII*

/

Edward III -> Edmund of Langley (1st Duke of York) -> Richard of Conisburgh (Earl of Combridge) -> Richard Plantagent (3rd Duke of York) -> Edward IV -> **Elizabeth of York** -> *Henry VIII*.

And Henry ViI obviously had a claim himself from Edward III as well, but it was considered a 'weaker' claim because it came from his mother and not his father. Edward III -> John of Gaunt (Duke of Lancaster) -> John Beaufort (1st Earl of Somerset) -> John Beaufort (1st Duke of Somerset) -> Margaret Beaufort -> **Henry VII** -> *Henry VIII*.

They all have claim. Henry VIII's is older actually, because his claim come from the three elder siblings of Buckingham's claimant-ancestor. [Lionel of Antwerp, John of Gaunt, and Edmund of Langley were all older the Thomas of Woodstock].

And as far as I can tell, Buckingham was never actively going against Henry VIII, but he was charged for treason. He was executed. That was not made up.

The Tudors has a LOT wrong with its accuracy but you can find better things to complain about. This one, while very fictionalized and dramatized is technically accurate.

March 2nd 1316 saw the death of Princess Marjorie Bruce daughter of Robert the Bruce.

Marjorie's death has been called in to question lately, I will deal with that later. This post is also relevant to one I will come to later.

Marjorie Bruce, Princess of Scotland, was the only child of the 1st marriage of Robert I, The Bruce. She was born probably in December 1296, the same eventful month that Edward I of England, invaded Scotland and laid siege to Berwick.

At the end of June 1306 the nine year old princess, together with her mother and other women of Bruce´s family, were sent for safety to Kildrummy Castle, Aberdeenshire, escorted by Nigel Bruce and the Earl of Atholl. It was intended that they would then take refuge in Orkney until times were easier, but the English army was already at Aberdeen and the royal ladies moved on to Tain, north of Inverness, where they still hoped for a boat. However they were captured by the Earl of Ross at the pilgrimage site of St. Duthac and he sent them to Edward, and from him to Lanercost Priory in Cumberland

Her mother  Elizabeth was placed under house arrest at a manor house in Yorkshire as well as the Tower of London. she was also allowed servants (because Edward I needed the support of her father, the powerful Earl of Ulster, her punishment was lighter than the others); 

Bruce´s sister Christian was imprisoned at the Ghilbertine nunnery in Lincolnshire; and Marjorie´s aunt Mary Bruce and the Countess of Buchan were imprisoned in wooden cages, exposed to public view, Mary´s cage at Roxburgh Castle and Countess Isabella´s at Berwick Castle. 

For the next four years, Marjorie, Elizabeth, Christina, Mary and Isabella endured solitary confinement, with daily public humiliation for the latter two. A cage was built for Marjorie at the Tower of London, but Edward I reconsidered and instead sent her to the convent in East Yorkshire. 

Marjorie  was finally set free around 1314, possibly in exchange for English noblemen captured after Bannockburn.

She was not yet eighteen at the time of the battle of Bannockburn, one of the heroes of that battle was her second cousin once removed, Walter Stewart, 6th Lord High Steward, four years her senior, whom she married in the following year. They started living in Renfrew.. Princess Marjorie went out riding near Paisley while heavily pregnant on March 2nd 1316. Her horse, taking fright at something, reared up, Marjorie was thrown violently to the ground and immediately went into premature labour. it used to be thought that Robert was born after this following a caesarean, this however seems unlikely. 

She was also supposed to have died after his birth but modern scholarship points to her having survived to see her son and possibly for as long as 18 months afterward. Whatever the truth she died, still, a very young woman. She is buried at Paisley Abbey - where you can still see her tomb, as in the second pic. Pic three is a cairn at the junction of Dundonald road and Renfrew Road in Paisley is said to mark the area where she fell, it reads…..“Near this spot the princess Marjory Bruce was fatally injured by falling from her horse 1316.  Her son born posthumously became Robert the second First of the Stewart kings of Scotland”.
