The Matriarch: Lady Margaret Beaufort | Info: Born 1443 - died 1509 (66 yrs old) Married three times. She was 12 when she was married off to Edmund Tudor in 1455. Edmund died the following November, leaving Margaret a 13-year-old widow who was seven months pregnant with their child, the future Henry VII. She had no children with either her second husband Sir Henry Stafford, or her third husband Lord Thomas Stanley. It has been suggested by historians that the birth of her son Henry when she was only 13 was difficult enough to render her infertile. She was a woman of 'steel' and was the driving force behind the overthrow of Richard III. An exceptional and learned woman. |

Best Known for: Harry Potter; Ballet Shoes Posted By: EdwardFan123 Comments: I agree that Emma Watson would be a wonderful choice as the young Margaret Beaufort -- especially paired with Helen Mirren as the older Lady Margaret. | Character: Lady Margaret Beaufort Actress: Meryl Streep Why: I loved the way she played her role in The Devil Wears Prada! She was very strict, firm-spoken and passionate about what she believed in!! I think that Margaret Beaufort might have been just like that. Posted by: XXXLEAXXX | ||
Why: Burned up the screen as Mattie Ross in the new True Grit; she's got real presence!

The Last Plantagenet: Richard III | Info: Born 1452 - died 1485 Reigned 1483 - 1485 In spite of having died aged only 32, he has often been depicted as being considerably older. Richard was represented by Tudor writers as being physically deformed, which was regarded as evidence of an evil character. However, the withered arm, limp, and crooked back of legend are nowadays believed to be fabrications. The accusations against his moral character have proven more resistant to refutation than the slanders against his physical looks. |

The Nine Day Queen: Lady Jane Grey | Info: Born c. 1537 - 1554 (approx 17 yrs old) Reigned July 10 - 19, 1553 (9 days) Jane was meek, quiet and unassuming; this irritated her mother Frances Brandon, who sought to 'harden' her with regular beatings. Devoid of a mother's love and craving affection and understanding, Jane turned to books as solace and quickly mastered skills in the arts and languages. When she was 10, she became Catherine Parr's ward and she blossomed under Parr's warm loving care. She was a staunch Protestant. |

Philip II of Spain | Info: Born 1527 - died 1598 (71 yrs old) Reigned 1556 - 1598 He was known for his solemnity and predilection for wearing black (it seemed he was constantly in mourning). Although having a reputation for being deeply religious & cruel to non-catholics, he was also known as a cultured renaissance prince with a nostalgia for chivalry and medieval jousts. Philip grew up to be an outsider and carried this flaw with him into leadership. He never fully trusted anyone and so was incapable of calling upon others resources to aid him. He controlled a multi-cultural empire but was held very basic skills in the languages which he needed to communicate with all of his subjects. |
