On this day in Tudor history, 28 November 1489, a princess was born at Westminster Palace whose life would be shaped by diplomacy, danger, and dynastic destiny.
Her name was Margaret Tudor: daughter of Henry VII, sister of Henry VIII, Queen of Scots… and the woman whose descendants would one day unite the crowns of England and Scotland.
Sent to Scotland at just thirteen, Margaret became queen consort to James IV, then a young widow after Flodden, and even regent for her infant son, the future James V. Her life, however, was anything but stable. Politics, broken alliances, unhappy marriages, exile, divided loyalties - Margaret endured all of it.
But her legacy changed the course of British history.
In today’s video, I explore the remarkable, emotional, and often overlooked story of this Tudor princess whose bloodline still sits on the throne.
