I am a direct descendant of Henry VIII
May 9 2011, 9:54 AM EDT
Henry VIII had a son with Agnes Blewitt, named Richard Edwardes.Richard Edwardes married Helen Griffiths and had a daughter, Elizabeth. Elizabeth married Robert Hunt, and had a son, William. William married Sarah Anne Harris, and had a daughter, Sarah. Sarah married George Pegram, and had a daughter, Elizabeth. Elizabeth married William Ryves, and had a son, William, who changed the family name to Reeves upon immigrating to America. William married Martha Wiley, and had a son, Isaac. Isaac married Elizabeth Shires, and had a son, James, who also changed the family name from Reeves to Raby, for some unknown reason. James and his wife, Nancy, had a son, Squire Raby. Squire married Nancy Mourfield, and had a son, Robert. Robert married Margaret Davis, and had a daughter, Minnie. Minnie married Arthur Piggott, and had a son, Arthur. Arthur married Lottie Atkinson, and had a son, Gerald. Gerald married Elizabeth Faulkner, and had a daughter, Amber. Amber married Richard Hatch, and had a son, Ryan Hatch, which is me. This makes Henry VIII my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather, through a bastardized line, which also makes me a descendant of the Plantagenet line through Henry. 0 out of 3 found this valuable.

I wholly accept that there is a possibility that Henry might not have fathered Richard Edwardes, but who's to say he didn't. Richard Edwardes could very be the bastard son of Henry. Hisotrical documents and facts claim that Richard was born a year before Agnes Blewitt's marriage to Edwardes, andRichard was commonly referred to as Agnes's bastard son, and there are documents that state that Richard looked nothing like his mother's husband.

I would also like to point out that Agnes Blewitt was descended from English royalty, which still makes me a direct descendant of the Plantagenet line through her.

The ‘evidence’ given, I’m afraid was simply that he seemed to have had a benefactor of some sort, but even this isn’t proven. Maybe something new will be discovered! Such information could be passed down the family line, so because it wasn’t written at the time doesn’t mean it definitely wasn’t true, but I’m afraid I could find no evidence at all for it. I would be surprised, however, if Henry did not have other bastards, and who knows for sure if Richard Edwardes was one of them? But there is no evidence, and my suspicion is that it was simply a later invention by the family. It’s certainly an interesting rumour to have about your own family." 4 out of 5 found this valuable.

"The Other Tudors" by Philippa Jones dedicates three pages to Edwardes - specifically pages 300 - 302. I'm a descendant of Sir Thomas Wyatt the Poet. The book surprised me by saying that Sir Thomas Wyatt's sister Lady Margaret Lee gave birth to a son that may have been Henry VIII's. Sir Tom wound up raising the boy at Allington and he became a favorite in Queen Elizabeth's court. (She tended to favor half brothers and sisters; there were many.) Henry's pattern was to find a woman he fancied, marry her off - but not let the husband near her until he had had his fun. Then any offspring were claimed by the legal husband. In the case of Lady Margaret Lee, she and Lord Lee sent their first son to live with his uncle. What couple of means of that time would send their first son and heir to live with a relative??? Henry was quite the dog. Plus, in the case of Lady Margaret, Tom was in court enough for Henry to check on his son's well-being, if he were so inclined.The most unusual thing, in my opinion, is that Lady Margaret was one of Anne Boleyn's closest friends, with her to the bitter end. I looked it up - her friend's "indiscretion" would have happened around the time Anne was holding out sexually and throwing hissy fits about the divorce taking too long. 1 out of 2 found this valuable.

It was rumored that was the bastard son of King Henry the VIII. But historians highly doubt that. He was never acknowledged like Henry's real illegitimate son, Henry FitzRoy.

I think that if Henry had any more illigetimate sons he would have shouted it from the rooftops. Even if he had not made it as public as Henry Fitzroy he would have told his close companions. Yet in the gossip hungry Tudor courts there is not the slightest hint of rumour on the subject.
