Fitzroy's investiture must have delighted his mother Bessie, whose husband Gilbert Tailboys attended the ceremony, but it also represented a significant blow to Queen Catherine. Fitzroy's quiet childhood may have enabled her to maintain a dignified denial about his existence, but this public event, and all that it entailed, made the boy a main figure at court from that point onwards, when he was given his own establishment at Durham House, her former home. A private letter written by the Venetian ambassador, described the event [...] [and had] noticed it had been the cause of some tension between [the King and Queen]: 'The Queen resents the earldom and dukedom conferred on the King's natural son and remains dissatisfied, at the instigation, it is said, of three of her Spanish ladies, her chief counsellors, so the King has dismissed them [from] the court, a strong measure, but the Queen was obliged to submit and have patience.'

“Much ado has been made about Henry VIII of England being the ultimate example of the serial monogamist. Some have even claimed that the King was unusually faithful for the era, keeping to his wives’ bed for the most part. You know, despite how he came into these marriages. Some of these books even make these assertions in the same paragraphs that host descriptions of his infidelities. It’s, quite obviously, ridiculous. Henry was just as sexually promiscuous as most other royal men of his day. He just felt shame about it…sometimes.”

HENRY FITZROY
HENRY FITZROY, DUKE OF RICHMOND AND SOMERSET
c. 15 June 1519 – 23 July 1536
SON OF KING HENRY VIII OF ENGLAND
            Henry Fitzroy was the son of Elizabeth Blount and Henry VIII. Blount was lady-in-waiting to Queen Catherine of Aragon and mistress to the king.
            Fitzroy was born in 1519 and Henry VIII recognised him as his son, most likely to let it known that he was capable of having a son (he and Catherine only had a surviving daughter Mary).
            FitzRoy was made him Duke of Richmond in 1525 and later the Duke of Somerset, having two dukedoms was a great honour. Henry VIII, 34, was frustrated that he had no legitimate male heir. Catherine, 40 became resentful towards the honours given to FitzRoy.
            FitzRoy was raised as a prince in Yorkshire; Henry VIII was fond and was interested in his son’s upbringing. In 1529, he was made Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland and there was a plan to crown him King of Ireland. In 1532, Henry VIII visited Calais to meet with Francis I of France and took FitzRoy with him. FitzRoy moved into the French court until 1533, when he returned to England. Henry VIII was in the process of having his marriage to Catherine annulled, there were plans for FitzRoy to marry his half-sister Mary.
            In 1533, FitzRoy, 14, married Mary Howard (cousin to Catherine Howard and Anne Boleyn), the marriage wasn’t consummated.
            Henry VIII and Parliament were enacting the Second Succession Act, which would have allowed FitzRoy to become king.
            FitzRoy became ill and died at the age of 17 at St. James’s Palace. FitzRoy was placed into a straw-filled wagon, and the only two mourners followed it at a distance. He was first buried at Thetford Priory, where the members of the Howard family were buried. During the time of the dissolution of the monasteries, the Howard family moved the family remains to the Church of St Michael the Archangel, Framlingham, where it remains today.  
            Henry VIII died in 1547 and his legitimate son Edward VI became king until his death in 1553. When Mary Howard died in 1557, she was buried alongside FitzRoy.

#OTD in 1600 – O'Neill engages Mountjoy's forces in the Battle of Moyry Pass.
In September of 1600, the Irish forces of Hugh O’Neill, whom the English had made Earl of Tyrone, were in rebellion against the crown. Two years earlier O’Neill and his principle ally “Red” Hugh O’Donnell had routed an English army under Sir Henry Bagenal at Yellow Ford, expelling the English completely from the lands of O’Neill. Now Charles Blount, Lord Mountjoy, was marching on Tyrone with…

The Waiting Game
Tudor England is one of my great loves. It’s one of my favourite time periods to read about and engross myself in. Since I’ve been a fan for so long, the fact that historians are now pulling out the lesser known stories is something I find thrilling and I feel like there’s a whole new world out there for me to explore. Catherine of Aragon – and Anna of Kleve – had to learn English, Anne Boleyn…

‘Penelope: Tudor Baroness’ by Tony Riches
Check out my latest review of 'Penelope: Tudor Baroness' by Tony Riches. Thanks to Tony and Preseli Press for a copy to review.
Thanks to Tony Riches and Preseli Press for a gifting me this for review. What I really like about Tony Riches’s novels are that they bring to life people that have been lost or sidelined. Penelope Rich (nee Devereux) is a woman who had an incredibly interesting life and was sister to the executed Earl of Essex as well as stepdaughter to the Earl of Leicester, let relatively little has been…
