Hello, i thought i would try this out! So...
ReplyDelete1 is Margaret? Because all of their children were born so close together I wasn't too sure if that was right but on second thoughts..
Also did you know, that when Samuel Pepys (the man who kept a diary through the fire of London) visited Katherine's embalmed body, he kissed her?? How odd!
2. That one i am not sure of :(
3. 7th September!
4. Hmm i would like to say Pembroke but only cause that's where Henry VII was born.. if not, somewhere in Wales? Sorry!
5. Not sure either... Not doing very well eh? :P
6. Ooh i think i know this one.. Brittany in France?
7. And this one cause I love James IV :P He married James's cousin (distant) Lady Catherine Gordon :)
8. Fotheringay! Horrible name that isn't it?
9. Yes..but i can't remember how.. I think it's something to do with Owain's cousins??
10. One wee boy called Edward :) Apparently Richard III arranged Anne's death??
I posted a comment on one of your other pages, it's Hannah again :) I've learned so much more about Tudors since last time!
I was reading a book recently about Margaret Tudor and spotted a mistake that really annoyed me! The author put that James III "was slaughtered at Bannockburn" :O When in actual fact, he was murdered after Sauchieburn... 174 years difference! I was put off the book after that, needless to say! :)
Hello agian :) Thanks for trying and you actually got most of them right! I found lots little mistakes like that in some of the books I've read. I had one about the "Tudors Queens of England" and the author mistoke Lord Darnley (Mary Queen of Scots' second husband) as being a grandson of, not of Margaret Tudor, but of Mary "Rose" Tudor... not just once, but twice! :) Hard to believe that stuff actually gets published huh! :D Oh and I almost forgot! The answers are posted up above!
