There is good evidence to suggest that Henry was indeed proud of Elizabeth, and with their love of scholarship and literature father and daughter had much in common. Henry was fond of his younger daughter, considering her to be an important member not only of his family but of his dynasty too. Her image appears in a royal genealogy tree in a manuscript in the British Library, alongside that of both her parents and siblings, highlighting her place within the royal family.

[Margaret Beaufort]'s legacy was enduring and worthy of celebration. She had used her wealth and her position to help improve the lives of others, her values being wrought in the stones of the Cambridge colleges that she founded and supported. In this vein she had worked to subsidize and patronize scholars, religious foundations and authors, in so doing often affording them opportunities that they may not have found elsewhere. She had been well loved and was well mourned by those who knew her: the poor to whom she had given alms and sustenance, the children of her chapel whose education she had paid for, her household who had served her devotedly, and her family whose interests she had always placed before her own.

— Nicola Tallis, Uncrowned Queen: The Fateful Life of Margaret Beaufort, Tudor Matriarch

#margaret beaufort #historicwomendaily #if there's a tudor who should be known as a patron of education #i can't see anyone but margaret #she founded not one but TWO (2) colleges #AND a grammar school for poor children #and that's not talking about the translations #that she commissioned OR wrote herself #historian: nicola tallis

“Throughout Henry’s exile, Margaret (Beaufort) seems to have been a faithful correspondent, keeping her son abreast of affairs in England. Though none of their letters from this period have survived, it is highly probable that they contained sentiments similar to those she expressed in her later letters to him: she often gave him her blessing, and on one occasion, in a reflection of her affection towards him, she assured Henry that ‘I trust you shall well perceive I shall deal towards you as a kind, loving mother’. At this time, however, Margaret was clearly considering the possibility of bringing about his return, though she also recognised that this would take time. As her standing with Edward IV improved, so too did her confidence to effect a reconciliation. If she could continue to win the king’s trust, Henry’s foreign exile could potentially be brought to an end.

By the beginning of June 1482, her efforts appear to have produced some results when Edward agreed that Henry could receive a share of his grandmother the dowager Duchess of Somerset’s lands to the value of £400 (£276,500) if he were to return ‘to be in the grace and favour of the king’s highness’. Edward signed the agreement on 3 June, attaching his official seal. A draft still survives and can be found among Margaret’s papers. The groundwork for Henry to return home had been laid. Edward’s grip on the reins of power was unchallenged, and with two surviving sons, his dynasty appeared to be assured—Margaret’s son was no longer a threat. Thus it was that, on an unknown date, Edward—curiously, using the same piece of paper on which Margaret’s second husband had been created Earl of Richmond—drafted a pardon for her son. Margaret began to hope that she and Henry would soon be reunited.”

#historicwomendaily #history #margaret beaufort #henry vii #edward iv #kinda #this is SO interesting - I wish more people knew of it because it really changed my perception of Margaret AND henry AND edward #at the end of his reign #also since I'm quoting from her book I just wanted to point out: Nicola Tallis was beyond horrendous towards Elizabeth Woodville #and uncritically repeated a bunch of misogynistic tudor propaganda against margaret of york #AND was very weird about elizabeth of york's alleged 'feelings' for the uncle who bastardized her and murdered her brothers #even claiming that elizabeth felt 'spurned' by him (lmao) #i know that lots of historians have major issues writing about historical women who aren't their Special Favs #and that every historian is guilty of it to some extent #but to write about THREE women like this in 2019? that definitely takes things to a whole new shitty level lol

Edward and Elizabeth observed the festivities separately, much to Edward’s dismay. Writing to his sister from the manor of Tittenhanger near St Albans on 18 December [1546], he lamented, 'Change of place, in fact, did not vex me so much, dearest sister, as your going from me. Nothing can happen more agreeable to me than a letter from you […] I hope to visit you shortly […] as my chamberlain has reported to me. Farewell, dearest sister!’

Many of Elizabeth’s earliest thoughts were of the brother she adored, who had ‘four teeth, three full out and the fourth appearing’ by the summer of 1538.  She liked giving Edward gifts, such as a ‘shirt of cambric of her own working’, which she presented to him at New Year 1539 – an extremely personal gift that not only showcased Elizabeth’s skill with a needle but also displayed her thoughtfulness.

The salient point from Elizabeth's perspective, however, was that Northumberland's attitude towards her was significantly different from that of Somerset. Under the Protector, the allowance allotted to Elizabeth by her father had often been paid irregularly and, frequently, not in full; there was no such delay from Northumberland. By the same token, the King's uncle had never particularly encouraged Elizabeth to visit her brother, whereas Northumberland had no problem with her doing so and always paid reverence to her.

Heart-shaped pendants grew in popularity during the sixteenth century, and Anne Boleyn was given various pieces shaped like hearts, including 'two diamonds on two hearts, for her head’, in February 1531. That same year, she also received twenty-one diamonds 'set upon rose hearts' to wear in her hair. Several of her jewels have a romantic theme to them, and they were varied and highly ornamented. If these jewels took her personal preferences into account, then she seems to have been particularly fond of diamonds, which appear frequently.

Henry VIII’s inventory later listed ‘two little babies in a box of wood [dolls], one of them having a gown of crimson satin and the other a gown of white velvet’, which had been placed in storage, and it is entirely possible that Elizabeth played with these toys during her youth

And not, as actually happened, go to James of Scotland.

Royal Myths: Elizabeth I and the Spanish Armada - Dr. Lucy Worsley talks us through the propaganda and fibs that have sprung up around Good Queen Bess, and whether or not she really did declare that she had the stomach of a king.
