Today is the anniversary of the death of sixty-six-year-old Lady Margaret Beaufort on 29th June 1509, just four days after she enjoyed the coronation celebrations of her grandson King Henry VIII and his queen consort. Catherine of Aragon.
Margaret Beaufort was the matriarch of the Tudor dynasty and was an amazing woman, in many ways, yet she is surrounded by myth and it seems fashionable to see her as a religious zealot. But who was this influential Tudor lady? What did she do?
In today's video, Claire Ridgway, founder of the Tudor Society, fleshes out Margaret Beaufort with a few facts about her and her life.

What a wonderful tribute. Yes I always think of her as being mean and overboard when it came to religion. But I think she probably got portrayed unfairly.
