Singing, dancing, and music surrounded this lady princess in her youth. She herself learned to dance, to play instruments, and to love the music of the 13 minstrels retained by Edward IV for entertaining at court festivals.
The minstrels' trumpets,shawms,small pipes, and strings added a professional component to her early musical education and became a vital, ever-present part of Elizabeth of York's life. As queen, Elizabeth retained her own minstrels quite separate from those of Henry VII⎯and rewarded them generously. Her own children played the lute, virginal, clavichord, and organ, while she herself played the clavichord (and perhaps other instruments). Her son Henry VIII became renowned for his singing, dancing, and composing.

A long-delayed commission for the kind and extremely patient @branloaf. It's Margaret Tudor, taken from this contemporary sketch here, from the Recueil d'Arras.

Reminder: there is no evidence that Margaret Tudor “hated” Catherine of Aragon for the Battle of Flodden. Not to say she didn’t, but there is no evidence for it. Her sending her daughter to the court of Anne Boleyn is not sufficient evidence to support that theory. Clearly she wanted to stay in Henry’s good graces and Mary was the real one
