What kind of people would be attracted like a magnet to the magnitude of wealth and power concentrated in a place like Washington? This question casts light on the number of people who go there poor and leave as multimillionaires after a few years. It also casts light on Donald Trump, who actually lost wealth serving as President and gave his Presidential salary to charity.
Henry VII had the Titulus Regius (there’s a page link above) destroyed to relegitimize the princess and marry her, in order to yield his usurpation some supporting myth. She became the mother of Henry VIII and he and three of his children ruled.
By relegitimizing the princess, H7 was also relegitimizing the princes, so they had to go.
I’m more of a Richard III guy, OTOH, I regard monarchy as an inherently illegitimate form of government. Also, had R3 won, some of my ancestors wouldn’t have been born (they weren’t royals).
Same goes for Harold II — he was legit, but unless he loses, William I doesn’t wind up being my ancestors. :^)
Another king, Charles I, was beheaded by Oliver Cromwell — the first modern dictator — and due to the employment of a few generations of another of my ancestral lines being terminated by that event, the last of them left for America. :^)
Great events shape the much more modest and workaday things, such as all our lives. :^)
