#HamptonCourt Palace has its own ghostly tales.

Sightings of #KatherineHoward, Henry VIIIโ€™s fifth wife are often reported. She allegedly after she was arrested at Hampton Court, broke free of her guards screaming out to the King for mercy through what is now called the Haunted Gallery. 1/3

#OTD 1456 Edmund Tudor, husband of Margaret Beaufort, father to Henry VII, died in Carmarthen. History suggests Edmund died of plague, but I think, considering the circumstances, there is good reason to suggest something more sinister. Read on:

Do we know if she translated from a copy that was owned by Anne Boleyn ? It baffles me that Marguerite of Navarre was still alive when Elizabeth wrote this.

Hi Dr. Norton, I'm looking forward to getting your book. I have a question for you is Mary Queen of Scots in your book? I'm curious why was she accepted as Queen so quickly? Wouldn't there have been some push back in Scotland at having an infant queen?

Its the anniversary of the battle of Bosworth, fought this day in 1485. I had the pleasure to speak at Bosworth on the Mythbusting book tour. Curiously, it was one of 2 gigs where the audience didn't ask any questions. Assume I was *so* good there were literally no questions, right!?

Bosworth is often considered the battle that ended the Wars of the Roses. Henry Tudor returned from exile in Brittany and fought against Richard III, King of England. 1/2

Today is the 540th anniversary of the Battle of Bosworth, a seismic day in which Henry Tudor, an 'unknown Welshman' of modest English royal lineage, usurped the throne of Richard III. On a rural Leicestershire field, one king was unmade, and another made.

FACT OF THE DAY. 22 August 1485. Richard III (aged 32) was defeated and killed at The Battle of Bosworth Field thereby ending the rule of the House of Plantagenet. His successor was Henry VII, the 1st Tudor monarch.
