EDMUND AND JASPER TUDOR AND MARGARET BEAUFORT
In 1452, Edmund and Jasper Tudor were formally brought into the royal family and were made earls: Edmund the Earl of Richmond and Jasper the Earl of Pembroke. Their brother Owen was already a monk at Westminster Abbey. It is not really possible that the two Tudor brothers were looked to as heirs of Henry VI (who had been married to Margaret of Anjou for seven years but still had no children). They had been formally recognized at the half brothers of the King whose uncles -- other possible heirs -- were all dead by this time. But the Tudors had no blood connection to the English throne at this time (although they did to the throne of France through their mother Katherine of Valois). The new earls were given precedent over all the other nobles of the realm save the dukes and the King and Queen. Along with the titles came estates and revenues, as well as the potential of noble brides. In March 1453, Edmund and Jasper were given joint custody of Margaret Beaufort, heiress of the Duke of Somerset. Margaret's grandfather was John Beaufort (d. 1410), who was the eldest son of John of Gaunt Duke of Lancaster and his mistress Katherine Swynford. John later married Katherine and their children from before the marriage were made legitimate by Parliament in 1397. However, Henry IV added the caveat that the Beauforts could never inherit the throne. Margaret Beaufort was born May 31, 1443. Her father died in 1444, leaving his young daughter a very desirable bride. A few years later, Margaret was married to John de la Pole, the heir of the Marquess of Suffolk. The Marquess himself was murdered in 1450 and in early 1453, the marriage of John and Margaret was annulled. The annulment may have come at the request of the King, who also may have been the one to match Margaret and Edmund Tudor. The couple were married in 1455. Edmund Tudor died in November 1456 and his brother Jasper took Margaret the child she was carrying into his protection. The child was a son born in 1457, and was named Henry. Jasper himself was still not married and wouldn't find a bride for almost 30 years.

Calling all budding storytellers, in this thread I start with a line and then the next person adds a line and so on and so forth. Limerick optional. Historical accuracy optional. Entertainment compulsory! This should then lead hopefully into a very interesting story (and happy ending!). To start:

There once was a King called Henry..........

I wrote a Tudor screenplay. It's adapted from my novel titled THE VIRGIN KING. I just started selling it on Amazon.com as an E-book.

You can read the first three chapters on my blog: http://www.BaldPunk.com

Here is THE VIRGIN KING E-Book - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003UNJZY6

Here is a little about the book:
What if the famous, larger-than-life King Henry VIII didn't die, but was sent into secret exile? What if he escaped back to England, only to be captured by his brilliant daughter Queen Elizabeth, who must decide what to do with her dangerous father, the rightful King? THE VIRGIN KING is an adventure story set in an alternate historical past that just might have been.
-
The story begins seventeen years after King Henry VIII’s secret exile, just as he is preparing to send his bastard son William off to England. Faced with what appears to be their final moments together on a deserted island off the coast of Spain, Henry tells William the truth about his exploits as King. What follows is a lively and entertaining narrative that will also give the reader a feel for the paradoxical world in which they are about to enter. One that, in addition to its many colorful characters and surreal backdrop, is truly brought to life as it is seen through the eyes of William, a completely unadulterated knave whose entire worldview was shaped by the vainglorious and half-mad King.

Thanks,
Joe Fullam

Hi everyone!

You may have noticed that some moving has been done with The Tudors Fan Scripts Page. It is no longer listed under The Tudors Fan Art, but is a category unto itself. Since you voiced concerned that you were the only one posting, Holly2, I have created a page all to yourself for your own personal playground :-D. Anyone else who is interested in posting will want to check out the new Tudors Fan Scripts page to see how you may do so. A template has been created to get you started!

Can't wait to read everyone's work! And great job, as usual, Holly2!
