Cotton MS. Vitellius A. XVI f. 156 gives October 7, but Stow:

The date is recorded in the Beaufort Hours, which is more likely to be correct than Ayala, who wrote that the Queen “was delivered of a son on Friday” (

). Charles Wriothesley also gives the date incorrectly as February 22.

Lenz-Harvey, in
Elizabeth of York
, says that grief over Princess Elizabeth’s death caused the Queen to give birth to a son too small to survive.

Loades:
Mary Rose
, although he says that Elizabeth had “an abortive pregnancy”; Norton:
England’s Queens
, but she incorrectly gives the date of Princess Elizabeth’s death as 1497 and—like Lenz-Harvey in
Elizabeth of York
—the date of Princess Mary’s birth as 1498, as Holinshed wrongly has it.

This red-brick palace had been built around 1480–85 by Cardinal Morton when he was Bishop of Ely. It is famous as the palace where Prince Edmund’s great-niece, Elizabeth I, spent much of her youth and learned of her accession. Only the great hall and one tower of the old palace remain today, the rest having been pulled down in 1607–08 when Robert Cecil was building Hatfield House. For Arthur’s health see p. 374 and note 49.
