On this day in royal history . 28th January 1457 . King Henry VII was born . . ◼ Henry was born at Pembroke Castle in Wales on 28 January 1457 to the 13-year-old Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Richmond. His father, Edmund Tudor, 1st Earl of Richmond, died three months before his birth. . ◼ Born Henry Tudor, he later became king Henry VII & was the founder of the Tudor dynasty, unifying the warring factions in the Wars of the Roses. Although supported by Lancastrians & Yorkists alienated by Richard III’s usurpation, Henry VII’s first task was to secure his position. In 1486 he married Elizabeth of York, eldest daughter of Edward IV, thus uniting the Houses of York & Lancaster. . ◼ Henry’s reign (1485-1509) was troubled by revolts, sometimes involving pretenders (such as Perkin Warbeck & Lambert Simnel) who impersonated Edward V or his brother. With this in mind, n 1485, Henry formed a personal bodyguard from his followers known as the ‘Yeomen of the Guard’ (the oldest military corps in existence today). . ◼ Henry strengthened the power of the monarchy by using traditional methods of government to tighten royal administration & increase revenues (reportedly including a daily examination of accounts). Royal income rose from an annual average of £52,000 to £142,000 by the end of Henry’s reign. Little co-operation between King & Parliament was required; during Henry’s reign of 24 years, seven Parliaments sat for some ten & a half months. . ◼ Henry used dynastic royal marriages to establish his dynasty in England & help maintain peace. One daughter, Margaret, was married to James IV of Scotland (from whom Mary, Queen of Scots & her son, James VI of Scotland & James I of England, were descended); the other daughter married Louis XII of France. . ▪ Henry spent money shrewdly & left a full treasury on his death in 1509. . . . #OnThisDayInHistory #ThisDayinHistory #HenryTudor #HenryVII #KingHenryVII #HisMajesty #HouseofTudor #TheTudors #Royalty #TheTudors #TudorDynasty #History #Monarchy #KingofEngland #EnglishMonarchy #D28Jan #BritishMonarchy #Pembroke #wales #Tudor #heritage #Theking #Monarch #artoftheday #RoyalCollection #onthisday #royalfamily #Historic #otd (at Pembroke Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKmx9EEjTV9/?igshid=65aw5wpvshwk

On This Day In Royal History . 28th January 1547 . King Henry VIII died . . ⬛ Henry’s obesity hastened his death at the age of 55, which occurred on 28 January 1547 in the Palace of Whitehall, on what would have been his father’s 90th birthday (King Henry VII). . ◼ He allegedly uttered his last words: “Monks! Monks! Monks!” perhaps in reference to the monks he caused to be evicted during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. . ◼ On 14 February 1547 Henry’s coffin lay overnight at Syon Monastery, en route for burial in St George’s Chapel, Windsor. . ◼ Twelve years before in 1535 a Franciscan friar named William Peyto (or Peto, Petow), (d.1558 or 1559), had preached before the King at Greenwich Palace “that God’s judgements were ready to fall upon his head & that dogs would lick his blood, as they had done to Ahab”, whose infamy rests upon 1 Kings 16:33: “And Ahab did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him”. . ◼ The prophecy was said to have been fulfilled during this night at Syon, when some “corrupted matter of a bloody colour” fell from the coffin to the floor. Henry VIII was interred in St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, next to Jane Seymour. Over a hundred years later, King Charles I (1625–1649) was buried in the same vault. . . . #OnThisDayInHistory #ThisDayinHistory #TheYear1547 #HenryVIII #HenryVIIIofEngland #KingHenryVIII #HouseofTudor #TudorDynasty #TheTudors #Monarchy #KingofEngland  #EnglishMonarchy #History #Heritage #England #D28Jan #BritishMonarchy #RoyalHistory #OnThisDay #TudorHistory #Tudors #Tudor #royalfamily Royal Collection Trust/© Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 2020 .
