EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the historic moment of the marriage of King Henry VII and Elizabeth of York, which took place on January 18, 1486, in Westminster Abbey, London. The union of the House of Lancaster and the House of York marked the end of the Wars of the Roses and the beginning of the Tudor dynasty in England. Henry VII, dressed in his royal robes and wearing the Imperial Crown of England, stands confidently beside his bride, Elizabeth of York, who wears a sumptuous gown adorned with pearls and ermine. The couple's hands are joined in a symbolic gesture of unity and commitment. The marriage was a significant event in English history, as it brought an end to the long-running conflict between the Lancaster and York factions, which had ravaged the country for decades. The union also strengthened Henry's claim to the throne, as Elizabeth was the daughter of Edward IV, the last York king. The image is a testament to the grandeur and splendor of the Tudor court, with its rich fabrics, intricate embroidery, and elaborate headdresses. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of the royal entourage, including bishops, nobles, and courtiers, all dressed in their finest attire. The marriage of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York was not only a political union but also a personal one, as the couple were first cousins and had been betrothed since 1484. They went on to have eight children, including the future Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, who would both play significant roles in English history. This print, from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of royal pageantry, political intrigue, and the dawn of a new dynasty.
