Oye, Another one of those.

That's still rubbish. Richard Edward is not the son of Henry VIII and anyone that says otherwise shall give me a valid proof, oh there is none? How surprising! It's just ridiculous, it's just a massive big rumour people like to believe in, nothing more.

I, neither any other Historian focused on Henry claimed it to be true or found any evidences. So, I'm sorry to destroy your dreams and to anyone claiming they are related to Henry VIII through his "bastard son" Richard. It will remain a dream.

The only illegitimate child that Henry ever acknowledged was Henry Fitzroy. There is no primary source evidence to back up your claims. Besides, the sheer number of people who seem to come here claiming to be Henry's relatives is frankly extraordinary. The man only had four surviving children, none of whome had children of their own. 6  out of 7 found this valuable. Do you?

True and the illegitimate children that he may have had but never acknowledge well who is to know if he was the father or not. So it really is a pack of rubbish to talk about being directly related to Henry it more probable to claim relation to either his sister Mary or Margaret because they both had children. And believe if i was going to make a claim like that I would have solid and without a shadow of doubt proof. I mean really why do people make these claims when they know if they know or really knew the history of the man that the claims are false!! 5  out of 5 found this valuable. Do you?

There are many rumours of mistresses for Henry VIII and in turn of course, children from those mistresses. It is fun to imagine but I guess we will never know for sure. We can speculate that Henry would have probably recognized any illegitimate children since he did with Fitzroy and Kings would usually do that because the children were valuable as marriage material later. Plus Henry seemed desperate for male children...but who knows?

We have a page with all the rumours ... and facts of the mistresses of Henry here: http://tudorswiki.sho.com/page/MISTRESSES+of+the+King

The main point is, if you would be a direct descendant of Henry VIII (Very doubtful) You would have known earlier, your whole family would know, because that is nothing so little, you would have family bibles, records, maybe a coat of arms? Something like those things, or would even be in the news, because yet they haven't found any direct descendants at all. Because being a descendant, makes you as well (even though a very very distant) heir to the throne, so you would be in line, which means you would KNOW about it and not find out suddenly.

Not even the Queen is a direct descendant of Henry VIII., he is her great great great great* Uncle. Just that you see how unlikely that is.

Of course you can be related to Henry VIII. still, like a cousin. He is even my cousin, that is not as rare, most of us Europeans descend from those people and the European royals in some way. And even I as a cousin have a coat of arms and many documents about my ancestors. So you (as you say) as a direct descendant should at least have one of those things, if not way more than me.

Being a direct descendant of Henry VIII. is rather impossible and everyone claiming it to be... write a letter to the british monarchy maybe and tell them about it, maybe you will believe them more when they tell you your claim is false.

To be fair to our new member Stephburdett who started this thread, she is not the only one who has links to Agnes Blewitt, who was rumoured to be a mistress of Henry VIII while he was married to Katherine of Aragon. Check out the page at the top :http://tudorswiki.sho.com/page/DESCENDANTS+of+the+Tudors where another member called HalsAngels has posted more on the Edwardes line.

Of course, it is speculation since there is no real evidence but fun for people who are related to this line to know that "maybe" its possible. Who knows what happened behind closed doors 500 years ago?

I'm Pretty sure he ties into me and my family, not as in we are direct decedents.
But we're descended from welsh royalty, and Eleanor of Aquitaine. We've actually traced things back all the way to Constantine
