He was knighted at Henry VIII’s third wedding, carried Queen Jane Seymour’s coffin, and greeted Anne of Cleves on her arrival in England. He fought in France, jousted at Edward VI’s coronation, served as MP under Mary and Elizabeth, and—most heartbreakingly—wept as he escorted Elizabeth I to the Tower during Wyatt’s Rebellion. On this day in Tudor history, 13th August 1566, Sir Humphrey Radcliffe died at his manor in Elstow, having served four Tudor monarchs with quiet loyalty and deep conscience. I’m Claire Ridgway, historian and author, and in this podcast I’m telling the story of a man you may never have heard of—but whose life intersects with some of the most dramatic and emotional events of the Tudor era. Join me as I explore Radcliffe’s life. #OnThisDay #TudorHistory #HenryVIII #ElizabethI #Radcliffe #WyattsRebellion #TrueHistory #ClaireRidgway #AnneBoleynFiles #TudorTok #HistoryYouTube
