On January 24, 1502 King Henry VII of England was involved with Scotland and England concluding the Treaty of Perpetual Peace. This was the first peace agreement between England and Scotland in over 170 years.

This treaty wasn?t particularly successful in keeping peace in the border regions of England/Scotland as reivers continued their raids until the beginning of the 17th century. Nor did it prevent future conflicts between the two Kingdoms. However, one of the main purposes of the treaty was to marry King Henry?s daughter Margaret Tudor off to King James of Scotland and that came to fruition.

The coronation of a consort who might have been England?s first queen regnant ? Royal Central

?In another lifetime, perhaps she?d be recognised as England?s first queen regnant, but Elizabeth of York was fated to be a consequential queen consort instead, with her popularity helping to sow peace in the aftermath of the Wars of the Roses.

Elizabeth holds a unique position in English history: she is the only woman to be daughter, niece, sister, wife, and mother to kings.? End quote.

That will almost certainly never happen again! And, as this article points out, Elizabeth was far more popular than her husband. Large crowds came out to cheer her Coronation procession.

An Amateur Metal Detectorist in the U.K. Has Struck History-Lover?s Gold: A 16th-Century Pendant With Links to King Henry VIII

An exquisite little gold necklace with links to Henry VIII and his first wife Katherine of Aragon has been found.

An Englishman who picked up metal detecting while he was grieving the death of his dog has hit upon the most notable Tudor finds in a quarter-century.

Charlie Clarke was using his metal detector on a friend?s property in the Warwickshire countryside in England, when the machine picked up a target. Clarke unearthed the object, thinking it was probably a soda can, but instead found a heart-shaped gold pendant attached to a gold chain. Ornate script on the reverse of the 2.1-inch pendant spelled the initials ?H? and ?K,? which, as Clarke?s friend pointed out, could be linked to Henry VIII and his first wife, Katherine of Aragon.

The end of the House of Tudor was really due (besides the delicate health of their teenage boys with both of Henry VIII?s sons dying of complications of TB in their mid teens) to a lack of male heirs. Plus of course a barrenness among the women. Neither Elizabeth nor Mary produced even one child.

They weren?t an ill-starred line like the Stuarts, but the fecundity of the Hanoverian line for example, really shows the Tudors? weakness. A royal House can only thrive, obviously, if a number of children are produced, grow up healthy, marry and have lots of heirs of their own. The Tudors didn?t. Right from the beginning there was a problem as Henry VII was an only child and it didn?t get any better when Prince Arthur succumbed to a sweating sickness at 15. And Elizabeth?s refusal to wed didn?t help.
