Mystery also surrounds Owen Tudor's marriage, but there is no question as to its validity or the legitimacy of his offspring. Richard III's proclamations described Tudor as a bastard; his marriage, however, was not disputed.

The tragedy of Edmund [Tudor]'s early death (he was still in his mid-twenties) and Jasper's arrival and energetic campaign focused attention in Wales on the Tudor family once again: as the first Welshmen to enter the English peerage, as representatives of the Lancastrian monarchy, and as blood relatives of King Henry VI. They were regarded as the most distinguished and loyal Welshmen of their generation. According to one Carmarthenshire poet of the day, Lewis Glyn Cothi, Edmund was "brother of King Henry, nephew of the Dauphin [King Charles VII of France] and son of Owen"—and in that order. When Owen Tudor was captured in battle by the Yorkists and executed in 1461, poets from all parts of Wales lamented his death as the father of the two young noblemen who were half-brothers of the king.

“By 1452 both Jasper and Edmund had entered their twenties and proven 'their most noble character... [and] most refined nature'. Partly out of respect for his mother's memory Henry decided to elevate his half-brothers' status.

On 5 January 1453, Henry brought the Tudors to the Tower of London, where they were knighted in a heavily ritualized ceremony with a number of other young courtiers. The timing and circumstances of his brothers' knighthood suggests there was as much political as personal imperative to the occasion. Although two of the other youths to be spurred and presented with a sword on this occasion were loyal Lancastrians, a number of the Tudors' companions in knighthood were associated with the duke of York, perhaps singled out to restore their loyalty at York's expense.

William Herbert was the heir of one of York's former councillors and he was joined by two of York's Neville nephews, John and Thomas, younger sons of the earl of Salisbury. The date of the ceremony was also significant, for Epiphany was the feast of three kings, when English monarchs traditionally held a public crown-wearing. By holding a ceremony that forged binding ties of martial loyalty on the vigils of a feast exalting kingship, Henry was making a powerful association of his rule with military and chivalric values.

In honour of this occasion, Henry also endowed his brothers with estates, creating Edmund earl of Richmond and Jasper earl of Pembroke. These were royal demesnes that had previously been held by Henry's uncles, the dukes of Bedford and Gloucester. Edmund was granted one more sign of royal affection: a bride.

His chosen spouse at first sight does not seem ideally suited, since she was nine years old and already engaged to someone else. Edmund's intended was Margaret Beaufort, the sole heir to the unfortunate John Beaufort, duke of Somerset, who had died- possibly at his own hand after commanding the disastrous expedition to France in 1443.

On 12 May 1453 Henry authorized the payment of 100 marks for Margaret's 'arrayment' so she could have the necessary fine clothing to attend court with her mother.

By then Margaret's previous union, to the son of the late duke of Suffolk, had been dissolved, and her wardship granted to the Tudors instead. In 1455, when Margaret was barely of legal age, at twelve years old, she and Edmund married.

By uniting the lines of his half-brother and the Beaufort heiress, Henry established an alternative line of succession for the crown. Through his infant wife, Edmund Tudor gained a claim to the throne which his half-blood connection to Henry did not provide. The founding of this rival Beaufort dynasty must have had the approval of Margaret's uncle Somerset; as it ensured a family stake in a potential future queen of England, the appeal for him was obvious.”

Downloaded Princess of Thorns by Saga Hillbom and I have no idea what its about except that it's a war of the roses book from Cecily of York perspective. BUT on the first pages it says that Edmund Tudor was the Earl of Pembroke??? This was published in 2021???!! A simple google search would have fixed that? What? Low expectations so far.

My new favourite history fact is that Edmund Howard (Katherine Howard's dad) suffered from kidney stones, so Honor Lisle (wife of the Lord Deputy of Calais) gave him a diuretic made of dandelion. Dandelion is a powerful diuretic, and is also known colloquially as "piss-the-bed". It did in fact make him piss the bed. He wrote to her saying "it made me piss the bed this night, for which my wife has sore beat me, saying it is children's parts to piss their bed. You've made me such a pisser, I dare not this day go abroad".

Hi, this is something that's always confused me so I figured I'll ask: how many children did Catherine of Valois have with Owen Tudor?

Hi, it is pretty confusing, isn't it? There does seem to be a lot of misinformation around or assertions made without any proof, whether it's Wikipedia saying Catherine and Owen had "at least six children" but only naming four and without offering a source or any genealogy site claiming Catherine had a daughter named "Tacinda" or any number of absurd claims.

According to Katherine J. Lewis, however, Catherine and Owen had only three, maybe four, children. Edmund and Jasper Tudor are very well evidenced, while Owen, later known as Edward, became a monk. My friend @richmond-rex has post here where she talks about the various evidence for Owen Tudor Jnr's existence. The three Tudor sons are also depicted in a genealogy scroll from the early 16th century, which you can see here. The fourth child is generally said to be a daughter who died young and is sometimes named Margaret. As you might expect, not much is known about this daughter and it's not clear that she ever existed.

Why is Catherine and Owen's relationship is heavily mythologised - almost all the stories we have about them are apocryphal and focus heavily on the romantic. The amount of children they had ties into that, suggesting an almost-constant aura of love-making, while the lack of detailed information about their relationship makes it possible.

#ask #catherine de valois #owen tudor #owen tudor jnr #edmund tudor #jasper tudor #i wonder if the idea their daughter was named margaret #comes from the linked genealogy scroll which depicts margaret beaufort with edmund tudor #whether someone misread it and thought it was their sister rather than margaret beaufort

Y/N is in love with Stafford and he is in love with her but they’re kept apart by her father. She defies him and goes to Staffords home while he’s having a dinner party.

Stafford x f!reader.

————

The castle's grand hall was illuminated by a thousand flickering candles, casting a warm and inviting glow on the tapestries that lined the stone walls. Duke Edmund Stafford stood at the head of a long, ornate dining table, his eyes fixed on the doorway. He had not seen Y/N, the one who had captured his heart so many years ago.

As the heavy wooden doors swung open, a hushed silence fell over the room. Y/N entered, her beauty undiminished by the years that had passed. Her hair, the color of h/c, cascaded down her back, and her eyes sparkled with a mixture of nervousness and excitement. She had returned to the castle, her heart heavy with the memories of their love.

Their gazes met across the room, and it was as if the years between them had vanished in an instant. The Duke's heart quickened, and he crossed the hall in long strides. Y/N, unable to contain her emotions, rushed to meet him, and they embraced in a tight, passionate hug.

"Edmund," she whispered, her voice barely more than a sigh. "I could not stay away any longer. My heart will always belong to you, no matter what my father says.”

He looked into her eyes, filled with a mixture of longing and regret. "Y/N, I never stopped loving you. The days without you have been empty and cold."

The guests in the hall watched in silent awe as the Duke and Y/N professed their love for one another, their reunion rekindling a passion that had never truly died. The castle, once again, became a place of love and happiness, as they vowed to never let each other go again, no matter the challenges that lay ahead.
