Question from ? - Why the Tudors were followed by the Stuarts

I Need To Know Why The Tudors Ended And Changed To Stuarts?

Now that schools are back in session... a reminder

Hello to all the students who are dropping by the page or blog who might not have been here before!

I just wanted to remind folks not to submit new questions in the comments. When they've been coming in, I've been posting them as new questions, but it's easier for me if you just send them in as new questions.

I hope everyone has a great school year!

Question from Mell - Dates of Katherine Parr's regency

I would be grateful if you could tell me the precise dates of Catheryn Parr's regency in the mid 1540's. I am doing a Masters Degree and my dissertation is on Levina Teerlinc. the actual dates are vital as it may prove that she was recruited by Catheryn and not Henry VIII, which all the art historians suggest.
i cannot find these anywhere! gratefully yours

Question from Noel - Looking for info on Lucy Somerset, Lady Neville, Baroness Latimer

Currently, I am looking for any and all information on Lucy Somerset, Lady Neville, Baroness Latimer.

She was the daughter of the Earl of Woecester. Wife of John Neville, Baron Latimer (Step-son of Catherine Parr BEFORE she married Henry VIII).

Under which of Henry VIII Queen's was she a Maid of Honor, and granted her permission to marry John Neville? Do you know where I might be able to find a picture of her or her daughters?

Question from David - Elizabeth's references to her mother

I know that Elizabeth rarely ever spoke of her mother or her mother's death, but were there any incidents recorded in history where we see bess refering to her mother?

Question from Katy - Latimer connection

I was wondering if there was any connection between the Lord Latimer that widowed Katherine Parr, and the Hugh Latimer executed by Mary I for his Protestantism.

Thank you :)

Question from Sara - Portrait of Catherine Carey

I was wondering if there are any portraits of Catherine Carey, Elizabeth I's cousin. I can't find any online. Thanks.

Question from Victoria - Sleeping arrangements for Maids of Honor

What were the sleeping arrangments for 'maids of honor'? Were private rooms provided for each? If not would these young (and not so young) women share a large bed, as is depicted in so much fiction about the time period? I realize that situations would've changed as the individual became more 'senior' and with moves from place to place. Thanks!

Question from Jessica - More info on Boleyn and Howard families

I am very interested in the life of Anne Boleyn and as one of the sections of my work i am looking at her relationships with her family. However, I am struggling to get some of the events in Mary Boleyn's life into chronolgical order as different sources tend to present them in different orders.

I would very much like to know where to look for information on George and Mary Boleyn, as well the the Howard family generally.

But on a more immediate note would like to know the dates of Mary's relationship with the king and her marriage to Will Carey to get the relationship in better perpective.

Thanks

Question from Veralidaine - Where the Wives are Buried

Hello,
I am doing some research on the six wives of Henry VIII for a history project at school (I am a 9th grader). Do you know if any of the six wives' tombs are as of yet unknown to the world? Or are all six tombs' locations known? I would greatly appreciate any help on the matter.

Question from Jessica - German forces at the Battle of Stoke

Hello,

I am doing some reenctment here in Germany together with my friend. We
are now planning to establish a second role and are therefore very
interested in the German contingent at the battle of Stoke.
Unfortunately, the War of Roses does not seem to be of that interest
here in Germany , so we can only find superficial information about that
issue.

I'd really apreciate if you could give us some information about Martin
Schwarz (often written as Swartz) and his German mercenaries or hints
where I should address to or good book recommendations.

kind regards

Jessica

Question from Michael - Info on Sir Anthony Knyvett

The responsibility for the building of Southsea Castle was initially given to Sir Anthony Knyvett. I have looked in vane for information on his background and his family. Does anyone know where information about him and his family may be found?

Question from Jill - Execution of Robert Aske

There is little about Robert Aske (leader of the Pilgrimage of Grace) on the internet and every source states something different about his death. He was either hung from Norfolk Castle in chains, hung in York or burned at the stake.
Can anybody tell me which it was? It would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Question from Jill - Lists of locations of courts

Does anyone know a book or website that lists the location of Henry's court (as well as the courts of his wives and children) during their lives? I know they usually moved the court twice a year but would like to know specific dates and places.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Question from Micaela - Elizabeth I and Katherine Howard

i'm wondering if Elizabeth I knew that she was related to Katherine Howard, seeing as her mother Anne Boylen and Katherine Howard were first cousins so what that make Elizabeth I and Katherine Howard? Also some resources spell the names of all the Katherines as Catherine not Katherine,so I'm wondering which is the correct spelling? I'm a fifteen year old girl and am a history buff, I especially like learning about the Tudors and Stuart familes as those families represent my mother's family's native countries (I'm Canadian). I'm not doing a project for school -I'm in grade 8- but one of the sections of my Social Studies course has a lesson on the Tudors, so this might help a little with school if ever I decide to do a project on the Tudors!
