I’m supposed to be related to him through two of his daughters. Can’t prove it though. In May 2006, I walked around the outside of Pembroke Castle where Henry Tudor or Henry VII was born, and went into its gift shop to buy a book about the castle. Wasn’t able to tour the castle as my bus group was waiting to catch the ferry to Ireland that morning. Never got back there. Richard I gave the castle to Marshall. When I went back to London the following year, I wanted to go to Temple Church where Marshall is buried, but it was closed for renovations, and scaffolding was all around the outside. Never got back for that either. Too old now, and no money.
I walked through Pembroke Castle while my ship was docked in the nearby port. It was a beautiful day and the castle was a relaxing memorable experience. About 40+ years ago. I did buy that book.
Wow! My ancestors’ castles and whatnot are either in ruins, or don’t appear to exist at all, or have been so extensively renovated that the ancestors wouldn’t recognize ‘em. And of course, change a monarch and an ancestor falls out of favor, and one rather humble consequence is, conditions are created wherein I get born. So, no complaints. 😊
