My Tudor Era Tapestry 1487-1491

from Long Live The Queen · host Christena

In November 1487, Queen Eliza, a Yorkist beauty, is crowned in Westminster Abbey, her golden gown symbolizing hope for a unified England. By 1489, she births Princess Margaret (Meg), named for Henry VII’s mother, Margaret Beaufort, bolstering the Tudor line. Margaret orchestrates her grandson Arthur’s investiture as Prince of Wales, a bold move to cement Tudor legitimacy amid Yorkist threats like Lambert Simnel. Elizabeth Woodville, exiled to Bermondsey, watches with pride and grief, haunted by her lost sons, as rumors of pretender Perkin Warbeck stir hope and fear. At Eltham, Maggie Plantagenet, Elizabeth’s niece, marries Tudor loyalist Richard Pole in 1491, her Plantagenet blood a delicate balance. Young Meg Tudor, a toddler, embodies fragile dynastic hope, while in Granada, five-year-old Catherine of Aragon, betrothed to Arthur, grows amid war and royal duty, her future as England’s queen dawning.https://www.patreon.com/c/LongLivetheQueenPodcast
