Fantastic debate, loved reading it :) I do have to say that it is possible Margaret Beaufort is definately a contender for being involved in the deaths of the Princes in the Tower, she was powerful and ruthless, and her Husband (as mentioned) was also very powerful. The more you learn about...

Isabella, Elizabeth or Charlotte and Arthur would be my picks. I'm thinking girl ;)

^ I don't think Elizabeth Woodville was scared for her children with Henry VII on his way... She arranged for her Elizabeth to marry him if he was successful. So she had nothing to fear. I agree that Richard probably didn't want another child King, and one ruled by the Woodvilles, but I so...

Great thread everyone! Love these strange and sometimes sad facts.

Very interesting! I agree that she had a very hard life, especially childhood, and it's very sad that she pretty much outlived her sons. Her bashing of her daughter is a bit much for me, although I do think Margaret was out of control. If I recall correctly, didn't Catherine call on...

If indeed Perkin Warbeck was an impersonator, and not actually young Richard himself... Edward V was taken away first, and later, Richard was sent to follow, to keep him 'company'. But would Elizabeth Woodville really send her now only claim to the throne into the hands of a man (Richard III)...

I find the death of Arthur very interesting, because it shaped (like many other events of course) history and our world today. We know that Henry VII did intend for Arthur to be his heir, and not Henry VIII, who was raised around his mother, sisters and Grandmother, Margaret Beufort, and was...

We're very Royal here, as you can tell from the name of our state. What's more Royal than the Queens land? :) My name is Kylie, I am 25 and I royal history enthuisiast. Right now I am very interested in the Cousins War, but I am also reading David Starkey's Crown and Country. Has anyone else...
