It shows Henry VII and Elizabeth of York united by an angel. Their children are shown to either side, the sons on the left behind their father and the daughters on the right behind their mother. Of the princes, only Henry was alive at the time the painting was made (c.1503-9); Edmund died aged 1 and Arthur died in 1502. Elizabeth of York died in 1503 following the birth of Princess Catherine, who only lived for a few hours. The eldest two princesses were alive, but Mary died very young. These figures thereby symbolise the progeny of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York and symbolise the new Tudor dynasty, rather than functioning as realistic portraits. The King and Queen kneel at prayer desks on which Henry VII has a prayer book, orb and sceptre, and Elizabeth of York has a prayer book. - Per description of the artistic work entitled 'The Family of Henry VII with St George and the Dragon c. 1503-9'.

“He well knew how to maintain his royal majesty and all which appertains to kingship at every time and in every place. He was most fortunate in war, although he was constitutionally more inclined to peace than to war. He cherished justice above all things; as a result he vigorously punished violence, manslaughter and every other kind of wickedness whatsoever.” — Polydore Vergil on Henry VII

‘All the trumpets, and knights and lords, and Heralds of Arms...and all the Bishops in scarlet, and the Queen, and all the footmen waiting upon the Queen to Westminster Hall; there met all the Bishops and all the Chapel with three crosses and in their copes, the Bishops mitred, and singing Salva festa dies; and all the street laid with gravel, and blue cloth unto the Abbey, and railed on every side, and so to the Abbey to Mass, and there her Grace was crowned’.

but a life without love, that's terrible! MOULIN ROUGE (2001) dir. BAZ LUHRMANN

Patrick had a gorgeous body. He had natural machismo. He was kind. Once I got going, in charge of my own experience, he became quite the asset. As soon as they said "Cut!" Patrick gasped, "Will you marry me?" And I said, "Definitely." So that happened. - From Out of the Corner: A Memoir by Jennifer Grey (2022) PATRICK SWAYZE and JENNIFER GREY in DIRTY DANCING (1987) dir. EMILE ARDOLINO

After the initial hugs and greetings from the lathered-up welcoming committee, including yours truly, putting on my most convincing friendly face, the hunky actor asked if he and I could step outside so he could have a moment alone with me. He [Patrick] took my hand and led me down the hall a little ways. Once out of earshot, we turned to face each other, Patrick scanned me in my cut-off black tights, dance briefs rolled down, a sports bra and vintage blue satin high heels, and said, “Whoa. You clean up good, girl.” “This is a great part for you. Congratulations.” “I know, right? It’s crazy.” This was softening me up. It felt good to be able to share my news with someone I knew. “I know, you’re probably thinkin’, ‘Aw, no, not this idiot again.’ ” Then his eyes started to well up. Real tears. And with the most earnest delivery imaginable, said, “You know I’ve always loved you.” He stared into my eyes. “And I’ve been really workin’ on gettin’ my shit together. So, if I get the chance, I swear I’m gonna make it up to you. You will not be sorry.” I said, “Uh-huh.” He smiled and was working hard on getting me to smile back. “C’mon, you know if we did this together, we’d kill it.” There was no question that our bodies liked each other, in spite of what my head was saying. There has never been anyone with Patrick’s combination of grace, brawn, sensitivity, and fearless, reckless gusto. - From Out of the Corner: A Memoir by Jennifer Grey (2022) PATRICK SWAYZE and JENNIFER GREY in DIRTY DANCING (1987) dir.
