Uncover the FORGOTTEN STORIES of three royal children from the Tudor dynasty — Princess Elizabeth Tudor (1492–1495), Prince Edmund Tudor (1499–1500) and Princess Katherine Tudor (1503). These lesser-known siblings of King Henry VIII were the children of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York, the first King and Queen of the Tudor dynasty. Elizabeth was named after her mother, Edmund was named after his paternal grandfather, Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond and Katherine was named after her sister-in-law, the Spanish Princess and future Queen of England, Catherine of Aragon. Though born into one of the most powerful royal families in English history, their lives were tragically brief and are often overlooked in mainstream Tudor narratives.
We’ll explore what the primary sources tell us about their births and lives, what we know about what killed these Tudor children and the impact their deaths had on the Tudor royal family. All three were buried in Westminster Abbey, yet only Princess Elizabeth's tomb remains today — a damaged and overlooked monument to a life cut short and a dynasty shaped by loss. Otherwise, these infants have simply been buried and forgotten by history.
Join me as I uncover the forgotten children of the Tudor dynasty, the royal heirs who died in infancy, the lasting impact of their deaths on the Tudor court and English history and how they were remembered after their deaths in a remarkable family portrait of the entire Tudor royal family. This educational deep dive will appeal to fans of Tudor history, British royal history and anyone interested in the hidden lives of the House of Tudor. We’ll also examine how the early deaths of these children influenced the pressures placed on the surviving son, Prince Henry Tudor, Duke of York, then Prince of Wales, who would grow up to become King Henry VIII.
