His first parliament subsequently resolved various dynastic issues: it re enacted the 1397 ordinance, legalizing the Beaufort couple, who were descendants of John, Duke of Lancaster, and his third wife, his former mistress Catherine Sift, but omitted the 1407 statement denying their royal demands and abolishing Richard's Titus Regis, which declared Edward's children illegal, a necessary prerequisite for Henry and Elizabeth's public wedding
Thank you for sharing this. The mention of the Princes in the tower always makes a matter somber. But it was very detailed and I’d love to keep reading!
Elizabeth of York always feels so enigmatic but this captures my imagination, and with such detail!
She must have been a lovely lady.
Another great article, Nathen. I really admire Elizabeth of York. I think she was a good wife and queen to Henry VII.
Very detailed account and interesting read.
