      @Eamonn Deane Exactly! Historically I don't think she was whispering in his ear ruling the country. She was a Wealthy widow and mother of the King 🤴 ❤️ I just don't think she had those little Boys killed. The 'Princes in the Tower' If Richard III did not do it himself, they were under his protection. They most likely took sick and died. Perhaps they were never "Lost" but their fate is only lost to history.
      I also have this theory that Perkin Warbecque was an illegitimate son by one of the brothers and was definitely a York but admitting that,and being illegitimate would have been to forfeit it all on a technicality. Your Thoughts? 😊

      @@mediocremaiden8883 I've always felt that The Princes weren't directly murdered but died from Malnurishment and the cold conditions of the Tower of London (I highly doubt Richard III would have put the two of them in comfortable conditions).
      Your theory about Warbeck sounds interesting, though my knowledge of Edward IV is a little limited, so I'm not sure if he would have had Illegitimate children.

      Well she wasn’t kind or loving to anyone other than Henry. She was probably behind having the princes in the tower killed. Evil, scheming woman. She treated Elizabeth Woodville and Elizabeth of York horribly, all out of jealousy and insecurity. She had no claim to the throne, nor did Henry. Margaret was descended from a bastardized line that was later legitimized but legally banned from ever inheriting the throne. She was malevolent indeed.

    Henry the 8th went through 6 wives hoping to find one just like his mother. Beautiful,charitable, and happy to just give the King heirs but stay out of politics. He idealized his mother Elizabeth of York. She coddled him and gave him special treatment because she knew he was just a second son and not going to inherit the kingdom like his big brother Prince Arthur except..He did end up inheriting and became a spoiled,coddled King. The closest he found to that was Jane Seymour but she died before being crowned.

    That single little drop of Plantagenet blood in Maggy Beaufort went a long way! Actually Richard III was hated by Parliament & a large portion of the people which made it easy for Henry Tudor to slip in.

      I suspect that's supposed to be the Scottish court where "Richard Duke of York/Perkin Warbek" married a Scottish noblewoman (NOT the king's direct relative though). The baby is James of Scotland who marries Margaret Tudor.....not sure why it made its way into this segment

      Elizabeth of York wrote to katheryn's mother queen Isabella, assuring her of the care that would be given to katheryn and that the infanta should " take care not to drink the water In england as it is not safe and that she should rather drink ale or beer." I think this is enough proof to suggest that she did care about katheryn of Aragon, however there is not evidence to suggest she did not like her.

      To be fair, Elizabeth did a lot to soften Henry's public image. It's only after she died that his reputation suffered greatly. Certainly Katherine of Aragon wouldn't have been mistreated so harshly if Elizabeth were still alive.
