♕ The Royal Tudor Family
The White Queen and Princess.
I’ve always had a thing for the Tudor Dynasty.
The White Princess, thanks to Jodie Comer, was heartbreaking.
Now I need to rewatch The Tudors as well.
The Tudor dynasty was a royal house of Welsh and English origin, descended in the male line from the Tudors of Penmynydd, which ruled the Kingdom of England and its realms, including their ancestral Wales and the Lordship of Ireland, later the Kingdom of Ireland, from 1485 until 1603. Its first monarch was Henry VII, a descendant through his mother of a legitimised branch of the English royal House of Lancaster. […] In total, five Tudor monarchs ruled their domains for just over a century. Henry VIII of England was the only male-line male heir of Henry VII to live to the age of maturity. Issues around the Royal succession (including marriage and the succession rights of women) became major political themes during the Tudor era. The House of Stuart came to power in 1603 when the Tudor line failed, as Elizabeth I died without issue.
(as requested by anon)
“People don’t understand the word r u t h l e s s. They think it means ‘mean.’ It’s not about being mean. It’s about seeing the bright, clear line that leads from A to B. The line that goes from motive to means. Beginning to end. It’s about seeing that bright, clear line and not caring about anything but the beautiful fact that you can see the solution. Not caring about anything else but the perfection of it.”
Mary I of England, 1516-1558
The lift of her chin will rewrite history.
