1. Henry VII, painted
c
.1501. His claim to the throne of England was fragile and he faced a succession of claimants and pretenders throughout his reign. The insecurity of the Tudor dynasty was heightened when he lost his son and heir Arthur and a third son died in infancy. Only Henry was left.

2. Elizabeth of York – Henry VIII’s beloved mother – painted
c.
1502, the year before her death. Years afterwards, he wrote about the wound inflicted upon him by her loss. This portrait was first recorded in the Royal Collection during his reign.

3. Lady Margaret Beaufort praying in the robes of a vowess,
c.
1500. Henry’s pious grandmother acted as regent until his eighteenth birthday and her death, five days after his coronation, severed the last shackle of his sequestered childhood and youth.

4. Prince Arthur, painted
c.
1520. He wears a collar of red and white Tudor roses and a badge bearing the figure of St John the Baptist on his hat. However, some scholars have suggested that the portrait is of a young Henry.

5. Henry as a child. This drawing of a chubby toddler is inscribed ‘
le Roy henry d’angleterre
’ although the style of his ostrich-plumed hat looks nearly four decades later and throws some doubt on the identification of the subject.

6. Bust of a laughing child, possibly Henry VIII,
c.
1498, by Guido Mazzoni. Probably commissioned by Henry VII after Mazzoni failed to win the commission to design and carve the King’s tomb.

7. Prince Henry’s bede roll which promised divine protection from a variety of perils, as well as shortening the agony of Purgatory. Henry gave the prayer roll to one of his servants, William Thomas, some time before 1509. Thomas was one of the two witnesses at Henry’s quiet wedding to Katherine of Aragon at Greenwich on 11 June 1509.
8. Henry VII on his deathbed. This drawing by Sir Thomas Wriothesley, Garter King of Arms, shows the gentleman usher William Fitzwilliam closing the King’s eyes. Ranged around the bed are Richard Fox, Bishop of Winchester, and one of the King’s chief ministers; members of his household and three doctors holding long-necked bottles for urine – a vital method of evaluating symptoms in sixteenth-century medicine.
9. Katherine of Aragon aged about twenty,
c
.1504 – 5. Eyes cast down, demure Katherine endured frequent periods of illness and abject poverty in the lonely years at Durham House, near Charing Cross, after the death of her young husband Arthur in 1502.

10. Henry aged about twenty-two, painted
c
.1513 – the earliest known portrait of him as King. A Venetian ambassador described him at this time as having ‘a round face so very beautiful that it would become a pretty woman’.

11. Henry VIII, painted
c.
1520 at the peak of his power with everything to look forward to – military glory, prowess in the tiltyard, but where were his lusty Tudor heirs?
