September 22 - The burial of Amy Dudley (Robsart)

On this day in Tudor history, 22nd September 1560, Amy Dudley (née Robsart), wife of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, was buried in the chancel of the University Church of St Mary the Virgin, Oxford. Amy had been found dead at the foot of the stairs of her home and the subsequent inquest had ruled her death as caused by "misfortune". She was buried in a lavish ceremony which cost her widower over £2,000. Find out more about her burial, and who attended, in today's talk from historian Claire Ridgway.

This day in Tudor history, 22nd September 1515, is the traditional birthdate of Anne of Cleves, a woman who would become King Henry VIII's fourth wife and queen consort, but only for six months! She may have only been queen for a short time, but Anne of Cleves outlived Henry and all of his wives, and seems to have had a very good life. Find out more about her and how she came to be Henry VIII's queen in last year’s video - https://youtu.be/zvuUNFA8U3Q
