|
---|
44 | at right was written by Tudor citizen Richard Grafton.&nbsp; Its spelling
|
---|
45 | has been modernized.</font><p><font size="2">Elizabeth of York was born on
|
---|
46 | 11 February 1465 to King Edward IV and his queen, Elizabeth Woodville.&nbsp;
|
---|
47 | After her father's death and her uncle Richard's usurpation, Elizabeth was
|
---|
48 | the sole Yorkist heir to the English throne.&nbsp; Her two brothers, the
|
---|
49 | infamous 'Princes in the Tower', had disappeared; their murders are
|
---|
50 | alternately blamed upon Richard and Elizabeth's future husband, King Henry
|
---|
51 | VII.</font></p>
|
---|
52 | <p><font size="2">Her marriage to Henry was planned by his mother, the
|
---|
53 | formidable Lady Margaret Beaufort, and her mother.&nbsp; Richard was
|
---|
54 | defeated in battle at Bosworth Field on 22 August 1485 and Henry was
|
---|
55 | declared king of England.&nbsp; He postponed the marriage for several
|
---|
56 | months, however; he did not wish his claim to the throne to be based upon
|
---|
57 | Elizabeth's status as heiress of Edward IV.&nbsp; They married on 18
|
---|
58 | January 1486 and their first child, a son called Arthur, was born nine
|
---|
59 | months later.&nbsp; They eventually had eight children, four of whom
|
---|
60 | survived infancy.&nbsp; She died in childbirth on her 38th birthday.&nbsp;
|
---|
61 | Henry VII never married again.</font></p>
|
---|
62 | <p><font size="2">Princess Margaret Tudor was the eldest daughter of Henry
|
---|
63 | VII and Elizabeth of York, born on 29 November 1489.&nbsp; She was married
|
---|
64 | to the Scottish king James IV on 8 August 1503, in an attempt to establish
|
---|
65 | peace between the two kingdoms.&nbsp; It did not work; James was killed at
|
---|
66 | Flodden Field in 1513, during the reign of Margaret's younger brother,
|
---|
67 | King Henry VIII.&nbsp; Margaret married twice more.&nbsp; Her
|
---|
68 | great-grandson, King James VI of Scotland, became King James I of England
|
---|
69 | in 1603, thus uniting the two countries.&nbsp; Margaret died on 18 October
|
---|
70 | 1541.</font></p>

74 | <p>....Queen Elizabeth, lying in the tower of London, was brought
|
---|
75 | to bed on Candlemas day of a fair daughter who was there christened and
|
---|
76 | named Catherine, and on 11 February, the most virtuous princess and gracious
|
---|
77 | queen there died, and was with all funeral pomp carried through the City
|
---|
78 | of London to Westminster, and there buried, whose daughter also lived but
|
---|
79 | a little time after her mother. </p>
|
---|
80 | <p>....All this winter preparation was made for the conveyance of Lady Margaret,
|
---|
81 | betrothed to the king of Scots, into Scotland.&nbsp; And when all things
|
---|
82 | were ready and prepared the king moved on the last day of June from Richmond,
|
---|
83 | in the company of this daughter, and came to Colyweston, where his mother
|
---|
84 | the countess of Richmond then was.&nbsp; And at the end of certain days
|
---|
85 | of recreation the king gave her his blessing with a fatherly exhortation,
|
---|
86 | and committed her conveyance to the king her husband's presence to the
|
---|
87 | earl of Surrey: and Henry Algernon Percy, earl of Northumberland was appointed
|
---|
88 | as Warden of the Marches, to deliver her at the border of both the Marches.
|
---|
89 | <p>Thus this fair lady was conveyed with a great company of lords, ladies,
|
---|
90 | knights, esquires and gentlemen until she came to Berwick and from there
|
---|
91 | to a village called Lambton Kirk in Scotland where the king with the flower
|
---|
92 | of Scotland was ready to receive her, to whom the earl of Northumberland
|
---|
93 | according to his commission delivered her.
|
---|
94 | <p>The Scots that day, I assure you, were not behind the English but far
|
---|
95 | above, both in dress and rich jewels and weighty chains.
