On 20 September 1486, in St Swithun's Priory, Winchester, Elizabeth of York gave birth to a child who, it was hoped, would herald the dawning of a new golden age of peace and prosperity for England. The boy was christened Arthur.

And so the tradition is carried on. The song that beautifully captures the soul of the book.

It's not just Wuthering Heights that unites them. Born #otd 1958, exactly 140 years after Emily Bronte, the brilliant Kate Bush!

OTD 1457, Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond, was born in Pembroke Castle. Who could have foreseen this child of mixed Welsh, English and French ancestry would one day claim the English throne in one of the most dramatic tales ever lived (no, don't say Margaret Beaufort)

[Matthew Lewis @MattLewisAuthor]

28 January 1457 Birth of Henry Tudor, later Henry VII, son of Lady Margaret Beaufort, who was 13 years old at the difficult birth in Pembroke Castle. Henry’s father, Edmund Tudor, had died almost 3 months earlier. After spending 14 years in exile, Henry won the crown in 1485.

@seam100 @Selwyn1882 @Newnham_College For me, this has always primarily been a song for & by great tenors. But this arrangement really takes the song to new spheres, and it was such a joy to hear it live earlier this week. Truly angelic.
