Does Jane Seymour’s embroidery survive? 🤯 #history #ytshorts
This portrait shows a young Elizabeth Tudor at the age of about 13 and it is packed with hidden meanings and symbolism.
In the work we see Elizabeth dressed in a rich outfit. She is depicted in an opulent gown of crimson cloth with a matching french hood, completed by a pair of sleeves and an underskirt made of cloth of silver, tissued with gold (which was reserved for royalty!). She is practically encrusted with precious jewels, wearing no less than four visible gold rings with gemstones, and various clusters of pearls and jewels set in gold across her outfit.
Of particular interest is the pearl necklace worn by Elizabeth, featuring a golden pendant with two gems, below which hang three large pearls. It has been suggested by some scholars that these three pearls may be the same set wo...

Does Jane Seymour’s Embroidery Survive?!
Jane Seymour’s embroidery may have survived until as recently as the 17th century!
It is well known that Jane Seymour was one of the less educated of Henry VIII’s wives, but this doesn’t mean she was without skill. In her own time, she was in fact renowned as being a very good needlewoman, a skill that was much admired in a Tudor lady.
And as I mentioned earlier, it may be the case that some of this embroidery was still in existence as late as 1647. It was in this year that Charles I gifted several items connected to the Seymours back to William Seymour (Marquis of Hertford). These gifts included ‘a bed of needlework with a chair and cushions, said to be wrought by the queen, Lady Jane Seymour’.
Elizabeth Norton hypothesizes that if the work was indeed completed by Jane, it was probably...

The BRUTAL Execution Of Edmund Beaufort - The Duke Of Somerset
The Wars of the Roses were an incredibly turbulent time in English History where the House of Lancaster and the House of York fought for the English crown. One of the biggest victors of the Civil War was Edward IV who dethroned Henry VI twice, and he led the Yorkist Army. But one prominent member of the enemy House of Lancaster was Edmund Beaufort, who was the Duke of Somerset. He was a skilled military leader and had fought in a number of battles, but Edmund Beaufort was defeated in the Battle of Tewkesbury by Edward IV's forces.
He fled into Tewkesbury Abbey and tried to claim sanctuary but was then arrested and was quickly sentenced to death by Edward IV. He was dragged out of the abbey to a scaffold where an executioner stood with an axe and a block, and whilst Edward IV watched on, E...

This portrait shows a young Elizabeth Tudor at the age of about 13 and it is packed with hidden meanings and symbolism.
In the work we see Elizabeth dressed in a rich outfit. She is depicted in an opulent gown of crimson cloth with a matching french hood, completed by a pair of sleeves and an underskirt made of cloth of silver, tissued with gold (which was reserved for royalty!). She is practically encrusted with precious jewels, wearing no less than four visible gold rings with gemstones, and various clusters of pearls and jewels set in gold across her outfit.
Of particular interest is the pearl necklace worn by Elizabeth, featuring a golden pendant with two gems, below which hang three large pearls. It has been suggested by some scholars that these three pearls may be the same set worn by Elizabeth’s mother, Anne Boleyn. Though this is a tempting thought, the portrait of Anne with her pearls is a later copy and is an unconfirmed likeness.
The almost outlandish splendour of Elizabeth’s outfit perhaps reflects her restoration into the royal line of succession. Despite being declared illegitimate in the wake of Anne Boleyn's downfall, Elizabeth (and her half sister Mary) were re-established in the succession shortly after her father’s marriage to Katherine Parr.
Also of note is the book, perhaps a bible, held by Elizabeth - if you look closely you can see that there is a bookmark in it too! This, and Elizabeth’s finger holding a place on another page, suggests a genuine interest and interaction with the religious and or literary texts of the day
This work is actually a cut-down copy of a portrait of Elizabeth currently held in the Royal Collection, which has been attributed to William Scrots. As this is a copy, it is unknown who painted this particular portrait, but for me it still serves as a defining image of the monarch.

It is well known that Jane Seymour was one of the less educated of Henry VIII’s wives, but this doesn’t mean she was without skill. In her own time, she was in fact renowned as being a very good needlewoman, a skill that was much admired in a Tudor lady.
And as I mentioned earlier, it may be the case that some of this embroidery was still in existence as late as 1647. It was in this year that Charles I gifted several items connected to the Seymours back to William Seymour (Marquis of Hertford). These gifts included ‘a bed of needlework with a chair and cushions, said to be wrought by the queen, Lady Jane Seymour’.
Elizabeth Norton hypothesizes that if the work was indeed completed by Jane, it was probably done during her childhood or adolescence. Such a work would have taken many hours to make and would have been incredibly time consuming, and as Jane’s tenure as Queen was so short, it is very improbable that she would have had time to finish such a work.

The Wars of the Roses were an incredibly turbulent time in English History where the House of Lancaster and the House of York fought for the English crown. One of the biggest victors of the Civil War was Edward IV who dethroned Henry VI twice, and he led the Yorkist Army. But one prominent member of the enemy House of Lancaster was Edmund Beaufort, who was the Duke of Somerset. He was a skilled military leader and had fought in a number of battles, but Edmund Beaufort was defeated in the Battle of Tewkesbury by Edward IV's forces.
He fled into Tewkesbury Abbey and tried to claim sanctuary but was then arrested and was quickly sentenced to death by Edward IV. He was dragged out of the abbey to a scaffold where an executioner stood with an axe and a block, and whilst Edward IV watched on, Edmund Beaufort one of the prominent commanders of the Lancastrian Army was executed in brutal scenes.
