Henry VIII’s ONLY Acknowledged Illegitimate Son

Tudor History with Claire Ridgway

In this final part of my series on Henry VIII's alleged illegitimate children, I introduce you to the one son Henry VIII proudly acknowledged – Henry Fitzroy, Duke of Richmond and Somerset. Who was this boy the king doted on and elevated to the highest ranks of nobility? Could Fitzroy have been King Henry IX? 🏰👑

Join me as I unravel the story of the king's only recognized illegitimate son and explore the fascinating possibilities had he lived longer. What role could he have played in England's future? ⚔️ #TudorHistory #HenryVIII #HenryFitzroy #RoyalIntrigue #HistoricalMystery
