Love everything Tudor xxx
My wife is(VERY distantly)related to Henry VIII AND his 1st wife,Katherine of Aragon,through their common ancestor, Katherine de Roet,mistress(&then 3rd wife)of John of Gaunt.Her maiden name is Kathleen Wroe.Not unusual, BUT note name similarity,&THE DNA CHECKS OUT WITH A KNOWN DESCENDANT.
Naturally, there is much interest in the history of the period.
I adore Anne Boleyn and would love a chance to have her representation on my tree!
Slight correction. Katherine of Aragon was descended from John of Gaunt&his 2nd wife,Constanza of Castilla. BUT, Henry’s affair with Mary Boleyn, Anne’s older sister, resulted in yet ANOTHER Katherine(Carey),who resembled her putative father very much, &,reputedly,she is the ancestor of yet another Catherine née Middleton, as well as Princess Diana AND Camilla!
Absolutely Awesome! This is so exciting……thank you for such a wonderful idea and to all those that are bring such good cheer!
I will be in London next week! I hope to see The Tower Of London.
So excited to do this again this year!
What a wonderful way to celebrate! Thank you!
