Yet he already had the illegitimate Henry Fitzroy. Fitzroy was born in 1519 after the king's affair with a gentlewoman named Elizabeth Blount. He was the only illegitimate offspring ever acknowledged by Henry VIII, and Cardinal Wolsey was even one of his godparents. The Duke of Richmond, Fitzroy was educated as befitted a Renaissance prince and the offices bestowed upon him included Lord Lieutenant of the North and Lord Admiral of England; indeed rumors abounded that Henry VIII intended to make him King of Ireland. Widely reported to resemble his father, in both looks and character, he weathered the difficult years of the Reformation far better than either his sisters. This work examines just how close he came to being crowned King Henry VIX of England. 538 System requirements: Adobe Digital editions. 588 0 Print version record. 600 00 Henry|bVIII,|cKing of England,|d1491-1547|xFamily. 600 10 Richmond and Somerset, Henry Fitzroy,|cDuke of,|d1519- 1536. 650 0 Princes|zGreat Britain|vBiography. 650 0 Illegitimate children of royalty|zGreat Britain. 650 0 Pretenders to the throne|zGreat Britain|vBiography. 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Royalty.|2bisacsh 651 0 Great Britain|xKings and rulers|xSuccession|xHistory|y16th century. 651 0 Great Britain|xHistory|yHenry VIII, 1509-1547|vBiography. 655 0 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMurphy, Beverley Anne.|tBastard prince. |dStroud, Gloucestershire : Sutton, 2001.|z0750926848 |w(DLC)2004351224 914 frd00009612
