1502: The Year That Shook the Tudor Throne
FULLY BOOKED
In the aftermath of the Battle of Bosworth Field, years of uncertainty plagued the new Tudor dynasty as Yorkist pretenders emerged to threaten Henry Tudor’s grasp on the English throne. However, by the end of the fifteenth century, Henry VII had prevailed against all the odds and the Kingdom looked secure.
Tragically, this moment of settled triumph would not endure. As the new century dawned, Henry VII and his Queen Consort, Elizabeth of York, suffered a series of immense personal losses. The most devastating of these losses came with the unexpected demise of the heir to the Tudor throne, Prince Arthur, on 2 April 1502.
As the future of the Tudors hung in the balance, and with Elizabeth pregnant once more, the two monarchs embarked on a summer progress which was quite unlike any other.
Now you can enjoy this unique experience for yourself, travelling in the footsteps of the founders of the Tudor dynasty. We travel from the site of the Old Palace of Woodstock through the glorious Cotswold countryside to Henry’s childhood home at Raglan Castle and back through quaint Gloucestershire villages that were at the epicentre of Europe’s wool trade and whose financial support was so vital to Henry Tudor’s reign.
If you are a connoisseur of Tudor history and ready to explore places and artefacts associated with this fascinating period of early Tudor history (some of which are well off the usual tourist trail), this tour is for you!
Prepare to immerse yourself in the lives of Elizabeth of York and Henry VII in a tumultuous year that undoubtedly shook the Tudor throne…
