If you're interested in him, I'd recommend this and The Mistresses of Henry VIII, but I believe they both argue that there is no evidence he was Henry's son. The Other Tudors sounds useful for him too. His ODNB article mentions the rumour in one sentence, and offers no opinion on it.Sarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16981893.post-42078451641437713002010-07-13T18:40:13.270-05:002010-07-13T18:40:13.270-05:00Hi Patricia
I've read about him in The Other...Hi Patricia <br /><br />I've read about him in The Other Tudors by Philippa Jones, to me I personally don't really think he'd be Henry VIII's son. The only reason why it was rumoured was because Henry had spent a night or two at Jane and Hugh Stuckely's house when he was off hunting around 1523 when Henry was chasing Anne Boleyn and losing interest in Catherine of Aragon. <br />Also what made historians think he might be an illegitimate son was that he was always causing trouble in his 'sibling's reigns with Edward, Mary and Elizabeth and how they seemed to let him away with it. Making some think that he was related to them.<br /> <br />In 1547 he was Henry's standard bearer at Boulogne he was around seventeen. Also during his youth he had served in Charles Brandon's household however his two uncles did as well so either Henry VIII wanted his brother in law to take care of his 'son' or Thomas's uncles really got him the position.<br />After Henry's death he caused mischief for Henry's successors. <br />I'd recommend The Other Tudors for more information, from what I read Henry VIII never left him anything or ever awknowledged him.Orlanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16981893.post-83964475442925372972010-06-22T22:03:14.145-05:002010-06-22T22:03:14.145-05:00Just testing something, please ignore

I don't know the first thing abo...Hi Patricia,<br /><br />I don't know the first thing about this man but I see there is a book by John Izon written in 1956advertised on Amazon:<br /><br />Sir Thomas Stuckley C 1525-1578: Amazon.co.uk: Izon John: Books <br /><br />When you go into it it tells you the book is out of print but gives enough detail for you to be able to request it on loan. If you are in the UK your local library should be able to get it through the British Library in London or Wetherby for a small charge. Also, any good County Archives should have the Calendars of Inquisitions Post Mortem and would photocopy what you need if you are unable to get there yourself.<br /><br />Hope this helps.Marilyn Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16981893.post-31317249140042396792010-06-20T11:15:05.208-05:002010-06-20T11:15:05.208-05:00Patricia, at this late date, the only way you woul...Patricia, at this late date, the only way you would ever find any proof of Thomas Stukley's parentage would be DNA testing. Since he died in Morocco, I'm not even sure you could find his body, nor does he seem to have left any children. Even if you could obtain his DNA, you would have to find a Tudor to compare it against -- pretty problematical. <br /><br />Evidence that he is Henry's son is really non-existent. As near as I can tell, there weren't even rumors about him until the 1570's when the Pope and the Spanish deemed him the Duke of Ireland, preparatory to a planned invasion of England through Ireland. The invasion plans ultimately fell apart, but it would certainly have been to their advantage at the time to attempt to give him a royal background, in the hopes of gaining support from Catholic loyalists in England and making his "coup" seem at least semi-legitimate. <br /><br />I don't believe Stukley himself ever claimed to be Henry's son. Nor is there any evidence Henry was ever involved with Stukley's mother, who was Jane Pollard, not Mary Berkeley. <br /><br />There is a portrait of Stukley out there somewhere. I haven't seen it, but Kelly Hart in <i>The Mistresses of Henry VIII</i> says it bears no resemblance to Henry.<br /><br />All in all, you aren't going to find anything. And I think it's unlikely in the extreme that he was Henry's son.<br /><br />Henry's will is easy to find. A few seconds of googling and you would have found it at: <a href="http://www.constitution.org/sech/sech_076.txt" rel="nofollow">http://www.constitution.org/sech/sech_076.txt</a><br /><br />And, Patricia, may I also suggest you might profit by learning the proper use of punctuation and capitalization? The shift key on your keyboard is there for a reason.Kathynoreply@blogger.com
