I've been so lazy lately that I don't draw anything for myself anymore. So I'm going to leave here this ugly WIP of Elizabeth of York, which I made a few months ago, lol. The idea of the drawing revolves around the fact that the Queen would prepare a gift for her dear Henry.

"She was, in the brief time allowed her, a good mother, incurring her husband’s displeasure by insisting on breastfeeding Elizabeth herself, which high-born mothers never did, and choosing pretty clothes for the child. She rarely saw her, however, for the Princess was given her own household at Hatfield House at three months old, and thereafter her mother could only visit when her other duties permitted."

‘It's not every day that new Tudor artifacts are discovered. Earlier this morning, researchers at the British Museum announced the discovery of a heart-shaped gold pendant, attached to a gold chain, dated to around 1521. Perhaps the most significant part of this discovery is the interwoven 'H' and 'K' initials, confidently linking this find back to Henry VIII and his first wife, Katherine of Aragon. It is possible that this pendant was part of the Tudor court's famed pageantry. It may have been presented to Queen Katherine by Henry himself at a jousting tourney at Westminster, intended to celebrate the birth of their son, Prince Henry, Duke of Cornwall. However, that would place the pendant's origins to January of 1511 at the latest. At the tournament, King Henry proudly wore symbols of the heart, Katherine's initials, and Katherine's emblem – a pomegranate – woven throughout his clothes and resplendent caparisons. He spared no expense for the celebrations, although sadly, his son Henry, would breathe his last less than a month later. Little of the object's provenance has been revealed. It was discovered by a metal detectorist in a field in the Midlands, who 'shrieked like a school girl' upon unearthing the pendant. Hopefully in the coming months, more information about this enigmatic object will be released.’

Details of Paul Laroche’s 1834 painting, “The Execution of Lady Jane Grey”.
“Where is it? What shall I do?” were some of the last words uttered by England’s “nine days” Queen while blindfolded and unsuccessfully reaching out for the scaffold upon which she rested her head shortly before her execution, which took place on 12 February 1554.

One of the more interesting casting choices for Henry VIII (aside from Sid James), would have to be Ray Winstone for a 2003 Granada/WGBH mini-series. Winstone made the conscious decision to speak in his natural voice, and played Henry as a boisterous East-London crime-boss with a hint of fading mid-70s Elvis charisma.
He had some very strong support in terms of additional casting; Helena Bonham Carter as Anne Boleyn, David Suchet as Cardinal Wolsey, Mark Strong as the Duke of Norfolk, Assumpta Serna (Sharpe) as Katherine of Aragon, Emilia Fox as Jane Seymour, Emily Blunt as Catherine Howard, and Sean Bean as Robert Aske.
There were a few classic quotes and moments; Norfolk is not confident in portrait artist Hans Holbein’s ability to capture Anne of Cleves ('You know these artistic types, unreliable!'). During negotiations following the Pilgrimage of Grace, King Henry calls Robert Aske 'a cheeky sod', and when Thomas Cromwell (Danny Webb) turns up for his execution, the young, nervous axeman assures Cromwell that he had been practicing all night, then buries the axe twice in Cromwell’s back (complete with sound effects and audience reaction) before finally managing slice off his head, to a big cheer from the crowd.
It was originally to be written by Alan Bleasdale (Boys from the Blackstuff) but it appears that creative differences with the producers and early funding uncertainties led to him being replaced by Peter Morgan.
The series won an International Emmy for most outstanding television movie or mini-series.

"The pageants that greeted Anne as she processed through the City to her coronation included three with neoclassical themes. The first of these, at “gracious churche corner” – the turn from Fenchurch Street into Gracechurch Street – showed “mounte pernasus with the founteyne of helicon.” Figures of Apollo and the Muses were accompanied by epigrams and posies written in gold at their feet, praising Anne. The pageant was provided by the merchants of the Hanse, the resident community of North German merchants, and was almost certainly designed by Hans Holbein. The second neoclassical pageant, at the Conduit in Cornhill, showed the Three Graces; while the third, at the Little Conduit in Cheapside, depicted the Judgement of Paris. Other pageants continued the medieval tradition of identifying a queen consort with the Virgin Mary and other biblical heroines and saints; part of their function, in the wake of the King’s divorce, the schism from Rome, and extensive political upheaval, was to assert continuities with the past. However at the same time the introduction of neoclassicism was a significant innovation, identifying Anne’s elevation with the creation of a new, independent England requiring a new language of symbolism." - Anne Boleyn’s legacy to Elizabeth I: Neoclassicism and the iconography of Protestant Queenship, Helen Hackett
