March 8 - Henry VIII receives a leopard

March 8 - Henry VIII receives a leopard

On this day in Tudor history, 8th March 1516, Sir John Wiltshire wrote to King Henry VIII from the English territory of Calais warning him that a couple of gifts were on their way to the king from the Duke of Ferrara. The gifts were a course (a horse) and a "lebard" (a leopard or lion). Exotic animal gifts were all the rage in the medieval and Tudor period and were the reason why there was a royal menagerie at the Tower of London. Find out more about some of these animal gifts in today's talk from Claire Ridgway, author of "On This Day in Tudor History".
