medieval/early modern history is a fun game of "Where Did That Earldom Go?" where you have to follow a chain of biography citations, genealogical trees, and wikipedia pages for old men who died childless to figure out where the hell that earldom got to, and if it even remained an earldom

Ripley Castle for Sale-1st time in 700 years

Ripley Castle in Yorkshire will be put up for sale later in the year for the first time in 700 years. If you can scrape up the money in your piggybank, the sale also includes the Boar’s Head pub and several village houses. The castle has an interesting history. It became a possession of the Ingleby family (now spelt Ingilby) through marriage in the early 1300’s and developed from a manor house…

Henry VII of England

Henry VII of England ruled as king from 1485 to 1509 CE. Henry, representing the Lancaster cause during the Wars of the Roses (1455-1487 CE), defeated and killed his predecessor the Yorkist king Richard III of England (r. 1483-1485 CE) at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485 CE. Known as Henry of Richmond or Henry Tudor before he was crowned, Henry VII was the first Tudor king. Despite having to deal with three pretenders to his throne and two minor rebellions, Henry's reign was largely peaceful and prosperous as, like a master auditor, he steadily increased the health of the state's finances. The king died of ill health in April 1509 CE and was succeeded by his eldest surviving son, Henry VIII of England (r. 1509-1547 CE).

The Lancastrian Claim

Richard III was one of England's most unpopular kings, and he was accused of being involved in the murder of the two sons of his brother Edward IV of England (r. 1461-70 & 1471-83 CE) who disappeared from the Tower of London. Richard, having eliminated his nephews, made himself king in 1483 CE. His reign would be short and troubled; it was brought to an end by the rise of Henry Tudor, at the time better known as Henry, Earl of Richmond.

Henry was born on 28 January 1457 CE in Pembroke Castle, the son of Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond (l. 1430-1456 CE). Henry was the grandson of the Welsh courtier Owen Tudor (c. 1400-1461 CE) and Catherine of Valois (l. 1401 - c. 1437 CE), the daughter of Charles VI of France (r. 1380-1422 CE), former wife of Henry V of England (r. 1413-1422 CE) and mother of Henry VI of England (r. 1422-61 & 1470-71 CE). Henry Tudor's mother was Margaret Beaufort (l. c. 1441-1509 CE), the great-granddaughter of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster and son of Edward III of England (r. 1312-1377 CE). It was not much of a royal connection, especially as some regarded the Beaufort's as illegitimate, but it was the best the Lancastrians could hope for as their dynastic dispute with the House of York, the Wars of the Roses, rumbled on. Thus, Henry Tudor, returning from exile in Brittany, became the figurehead of the Lancastrians who aimed to topple the Yorkist king Richard III.

Henry Tudor wisely allied himself with the alienated Woodvilles, family of Elizabeth Woodville (l. c. 1437-1492 CE), the wife of Edward IV. Other allies included such powerful lords as the Duke of Buckingham who were not happy with King Richard's distribution of estates, and anyone else keen to see Richard III receive his just deserts. These allies even included the new king across the Channel, Charles VIII of France (r. 1483-1498 CE). The first move by the rebels proved premature and poorly planned so that Henry's invasion fleet was put off by bad weather and Buckingham was captured and executed in November 1483 CE.

Cecily of York and Sansa Stark and their marriages (art by Elia Mervi)

It’s been noted many times that George drew inspiration from the Wars of the Roses as he was working on A Game of Thrones, and there were several parallels pointed out by the fandom as York vs Lancaster feud finding reflection in the war between Houses Stark and Lannister. Recently I’ve been doing some reading on Cecily, Elizabeth of York’s sister, and found some peculiar details.

The noble lady was married three times: first, she was wed to Ralph Scrope of Upsall, one of the kings supporters who was fames for his success in the Battle of Bosworth (memory brings to mind the wildfire and Tyrion’s success at the Battle at Blackwater). It was an arranged marriage she had no say in that brought no heirs and was annuled with the coming of a new king.

Some time later Cecily married for the second time, her new husband was John Welles, the king’s half-uncle. It was a strategic marriage yet as a result Cecily gave birth to two daughters. They remained married until his death, which lead to Cecily’s three year mourning.

Then Cecily married for the third time. Her third and last husband was a Lincolnshire squire — Thomas Kyne (the name is still debated on by the historians). He was well below her station and it’s disputable whether the King would have allowed for such a misalliance to happen, that is why she wed Kyne in secrecy and there no date of the wedding day was preserved in the recordings. Everything leads us to believe she chose this unlikely man to become her husband of her own accord despite his low status because she fell in love with him. This was not another marriage of convenience or for strategy, this time, the third time, she married for love. Together they produced two children: a boy and a girl. Some accounts say that they both live on the Isle of Wight, up until her death.

In conclusion, the result is this: the first two marriages are proven unlucky (with the first ending in annulment, the second ending in the husband’s death), the third lucky marriage is for love.

(This post has been brought to you for educational purposes and fun, don’t take it too seriously. Obviously, even though I drew some parallels between the two princesses’ marital affairs, I do not think that all the aspects of Cecily’s story must be transferred and applied to Sansa’s, but I do find the parallels interesting.)
