  1. #OnThisDay in 1507, First named reference to royal trumpeter John Blanke, the first black person whose image survives from Tudor England, in payment for services by #HenryVII.

  2. /2 #photography #construction #steels A long time ago, I was 'trade'. Contractor & ltd. company. Loved every minute. I know exactly what's occurring here. The #HenryVII visitors, study centre (bloody #Tudors!) & 'community' centre. Another tourist honeypot in the centre of #Pembroke. Squillions of £'s, now overrunning, over budget and for the benefit of whom pray tell?

  5. @AllEndlessKnot actually not Britain.

    Scotland changed the date as did the rest of Europe, but the English believed it was a catholic plot to deprive them of 11 days of their life, so they resisted for several years. During this period historians have to be very careful, as travellers can seem to arrive at their destination a week before they have left England.

  6. Two anonymous 17th Century ballads describing the purported evil deeds of Richard III, the murder of the Princes in the Tower, and the Battle of Bosworth Field, which was fought #onthisday in 1485.
    A good example of Tudor propaganda.

    A song of the Life and Death of King Richard the Third (to the tune of Who list to lead a soldier's life)
    and
    The most cruel murther of Edward the fifth, and his brother Duke of York, in the Tower; by their Uncle Richard Duke of Gloucester (to the tune of Fortune my foe)
    From Richard Johnson's ballad miscellany, The Golden Garland of Princely Delights, 1620

  7. #OTD 1457, in the fortress of Pembroke Castle, a young woman, not yet 14 bore a son. The mother, Margaret Beaufort, was 2nd cousin to Henry VI and she named her son in his honour. She was also the widow of the king’s half-brother, Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond. It is unlikely that at the time of his birth, anyone foresaw that young Henry Tudor would become King Henry VII.

  8. #OTD 1496 d. Jasper Tudor, Earl of Pembroke & Duke of Bedford died. Jasper can probably take the lion’s share of the credit for his nephew, Henry VII's ultimate triumph in the Wars of the Roses. Second son of Catherine de Valois and Owain Tudor, Jasper had been favoured by his half-brother, Henry VI, and was unfailingly loyal to the House of Lancaster. bit.ly/259dT0g #tudor #henryvii #warsoftheroses #histodons #jaspertudor

  9. #OTD 1487 Elizabeth of York was crowned. She had been married for nearly two years, but first pregnancy, then the Lambert Simnel affair had delayed her coronation. Elizabeth has been seen as the ideal mediaeval queen – fertile, pious, not openly involved in politics, and devoted to her family. More on her here. bit.ly/339DKLc #elizabethofyork #henryvii #henryviii #history #tudor #queens #histodon #historyofroyalwomen
