On this day, 10 July 1553, Lady Jane Grey was proclaimed Queen at the Tower of London. • Jane, her husband, Guildford Dudley, Jane’s parents and Guildford’s mother had travelled from Syon House to the Tower of London. Jane and Guildford processed through the gates of the Tower under a canopy of estate and were greeted by a gun salute. Two heralds proclaimed that Jane was Queen to the assembled crowds at Cheapside and Fleet Street. Henry Machyn, citizen and merchant London wrote: “The x day of July was reseyvyd in to the Towre [the Queen Jane] with a grett compeny of lords and nobulls of… after the qwen, and the duches of Suffoke her mother, bering her trayn, with mony lades, and ther was a shot of gunnes and chamburs has nott be sene oft be-tweyn iiij and v of [the clock]; by vj of the cloke be-gane the proclamasyon the same [after-]non (of) qwen Jane with ij harold(s) and a trompet blohyng, [declaring] that my lade Mare was unlafully be-gotten, and so [went through] Chepe to Fletstrett, proclamyng qwen Jane; and ther was a yong man taken that tym for spykyng of serten wordes of qwen Mare, that she had the ryght tytle.” • A boy who dared to declare that Mary Tudor was the rightful queen had his ears cut off. Machyn reported: “The xj day of July, at viij of the cloke in the mornyng, the yonge man for spykyng was sett on the pelere, and boyth ys heres [ears] cutt off; for ther was a harold, and a trompeter blohyng; and [in-] contenent he was taken downe, and cared to the [Counter]…” • Meanwhile, in the Tower, Jane continued to send out letters, rallying key supporters throughout the real. Jane is usually portrayed as innocent, demure, and a submissive puppet of the men around her. However, she was much more than that and held her own strong views. When Jane was alone the crown was brought to her. According to Girolamo Pollini, an Italian friar, the Lord Treasurer said he wanted Jane to try it and see how it suited her. Then he said that a new crown would be made for her husband Guildford. Jane thought for a moment but then refused. She would not name her husband as King, and would only agree to make him a Duke.

On this day, 9 July 1553, Lady Jane Grey was informed that Edward VI named her his heir. • The King’s death was kept quiet and on 9th July, Jane was taken to Northumberland's mansion, Syon House, where the Duke, her husband and her parents were waiting with members of the privy council, all showing her immense deference. Northumberland then knelt before Jane and announced that she was now Queen. She fell to the ground weeping and according to one report she tried to refuse the crown: That the laws of the kingdom, and natural right, standing for the king’s sister, she would beware of burdening her weak conscience with a yoke, which did belong to them; that she understood the infamy of those, who had permitted the violation of right to gain a sceptre, that it were to mock God, and deride justice, to scruple at the stealing of a shilling, and not at the usurpation of a crown. After a while, Lady Jane composed herself and said, according to her own account: 'I greatly bewailed myself to the death of so noble a prince, and at the same time, turned myself to God, humbly praying and beseeching Him, that if what was given to me was rightly and lawfully mine, his divine majesty would grant me such grace and spirit that I might govern it to his glory and service, and to the advantage of this realm.' • The previous day, 8th June, Mary Tudor declared herself Queen whilst at her residence in Kenninghall, Norfolk. On 7th July, Mary was informed of her half-brother’s death from goldsmith Robert Reyns, while staying with Lady Burgh at Euston Hall. The next day, Mary quickly travelled to Kenninghall, where her physician, Thomas Hughes, confirmed that news of the King’s death was true. Mary gathered her household and informed them of the news, telling them that: “the right to the crown of England of England had therefore descended to her by divine and by human law”. Her household reacted cheerfully and they “proclaimed their dearest princess Mary as queen of England.”

Henry VIII and Jane Seymour were betrothed on 20 May 1536. Their engagement was made official within 24 hours of Anne Boleyn’s execution. Jane’s character contrasted to Anne’s. Jane was described as meek and mild, which many believe was her draw for Henry, who had tired of spirited Anne Boleyn. Henry believed Jane to be his first proper wife. A year after their marriage, Jane gave birth to a son at #HamptonCourtPalace, Henry’s long-awaited male heir. The birth would lead to her death, yet Jane continued to be portrayed as his queen consort even throughout his next three marriages.

On 8th February 1587 Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded by the hand of an English executioner. Elizabeth I ordered her death since it appeared that the lady was involved in several attempts to kill the English Queen and finally set her free from her imprisonment. Over the English border, the Kingdom of Scotland was divided by grief and a sense of revenge. Someone cheered for the news other cried, the only one who didn’t show any emotion was the King, James VI of his name, son of the victim. As a King he could have stopped the trial and save his mother, but why he didn’t do that? When Mary was imprisoned in 1566 James was a baby of one year old under the control of his uncle, the step brother of Mary, the Earl of Moray. Since the arrival of the new duke of Lennox, James first favourite, in 1581 son and mother didn’t have any contact since all of her letters were forbidden and burnt by the Parliament. James finally showed some kind of affection for his mother and tried many times to push Elizabeth to a release, the English Queen never replied to such request. But of course what he said in public seemed very different from what he thought in private since several English and french ambassadors reported that he never spoke of his mother status unless he was forced to do so. Only in 1586, under the pressure of his mother loyal subjects, he wrote to Elizabeth asking to forgive and forget but he never did something to release Mary except writing letters since an act of Parliament forbid anyone to become the heir of Elizabeth if that person would have take Mary’s side. James has to choose and chose the crown of England which was his by right. #maryqueenofscots #jamesI #tudorcourt #tudorfashion #tudorhistory #tudordynasty #johnmatusiak #elizabethI #henryviii #tudorcrown

Who knew the National Lottery was Elizabethan? First used in 1568 - 1569 to raise funds for urgent coastal fortifications against the threat of the Spanish Armada, it was an inspired way to 'provoke the people' into parting with their cash, carried out by appointed contractors to the crown. And so the notion of 'lucky numbers' was born. Prizes weren’t just for cash either - silver, jewellery, books, paintings, tapestries and even animals were in the mix... * This gorgeously tactile lottery ball or 'teetotum' has 32 sides and is carved from marine ivory (walrus tusk). Suffice to say I'd like to win the lottery and buy it from @finchandcoartdealer, purveyors of exquisite curios. They tell me sailors sometimes carved these for their own amusement. Now, wouldn't it be wonderful to find one in the Thames! #tudor #tudorhistory #lottery #teetotum #luckynumbers #antiquegames #marineivory #handcarved #elizabethan #walrustusk #handcarved #handcarving

Could this be the only surviving piece from Queen Elizabeth I’s wardrobe? An altar cloth at church of St Faith, Bacton was discovered by Eleri Lynn, curator of historic dress at Historic Royal Palaces, to likely be a skirt worn by Queen Elizabeth I! Lynn believes this could even be the skirt worn in Elizabeth I’s 1602 ‘Rainbow portrait’. The birds and animal embroidery were added later. Evidence that this was owned by Elizabeth included: “The embroidered design, featuring roses, daffodils and other flowers, was typical of the late 16th century, ... it was made from cloth of silver, which, under Tudor sumptuary law, could only be worn by the monarch or immediate members of the royal family.” #queenelizabeth #queenelizabeth1st #royalty #fashionhistory #dresshistory #15thcentury #tudor #tudorhistory #britishroyalfamily

On this day, 29 June 1509, Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of King Henry VII, died in the Abbot of Westminster's house a few days after the coronation of her grandson Henry VIII. Margaret Beaufort was born on May 31st May 1443, daughter of John Beaufort, Duke of Somerset and his wife Margaret Beauchamp. She was descended from one of the illegitimate children of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster (a son of Edward III) and his mistress Katherine Swynford. Margaret married firstly John de la Pole (marriage dissolved 1453), secondly Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond (eldest son of Owen Tudor and Queen Catherine de Valois, widow of Henry V), thirdly Sir Henry Stafford and lastly Thomas Stanley, Earl of Derby. By her second husband she was the mother of Henry VII - to whom she gave birth at the age of only 13. She was the patroness of William Caxton, England's first printer and the the foundress of two colleges at Cambridge – Christ's and St John's – and of Chairs of Divinity at both Oxford and Cambridge. On 3rd July her body was moved from Cheyneygates to the Abbey Refectory where it lay surrounded by candles until the burial on 9th July. Margaret was buried in the south aisle of the Henry VII chapel. Her good friend, John Fisher, Bishop of Rochester preached a sermon at Margaret’s funeral, where he likened her to the Biblical “blessyd woman Martha” in four ways: “In nobleness of Person” “In discypline of their Bodys” “In orderyng of their Souls to God” “In Hospytalytyes kepying, and charytable dealyng to their Neighbours.” He concluded that "Every one that knew her loved her, and everything that she said or did became her". Her fine tomb was sculpted by Italian sculptor Pietro Torrigiano (Torrigiani).
