This pattern, titled Tapestries of Secrecy, draws inspiration from Mary, Queen of Scots, and the hidden messages she skillfully wove into her needlework during her imprisonment. #Tudors #MaryQueenofScots #MaryStuart #16thcentury #England #Renaissance

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
