I also reformatted and cleaned it up a lot. : ) This goes far beyond anything mentioned in Shakespeare’s history plays, but I wanted to add in all the relevant potential heirs under Elizabeth I. I added a few more generations and cleaned up a lot of the more illegible names. I had a Rutland too, thou holp'st to kill him.Īnyway, If I DID miss someone or got something wrong in this family tree, please let me know it would be most appreciated! I had a Richard too, and thou didst kill him (Richard, Duke of York ) Thou hadst a Richard (Richard, Duke of York [son of Edward IV’s and Elizabeth Woodville), till a Richard killed him (Gloucester/R 3)ĭuchess of York.
Thou hadst an Edward (Edward V ), till a Richard kill'd him ( Gloucester/R 3) I had a Harry (Henry VI), till a Richard kill'd him: ( Gloucester/R 3) I had an Edward (Edward, Prince of Wales ), till a Richard kill'd him (Richard, Duke of Gloucester/Richard III)
Tell o'er your woes again by viewing mine: I’ve put in notations to indicate which one is being talked about at which point because it is DAMN CONFUSING. Shakespeare has a whole bit in Richard III Act IV Scene 4 poking a little fun at that. My conclusion is that everyone’s related (thus, the cousins’ war!), no one has ANY IMAGINATION WHATSOEVER when it comes to naming, and everyone killed everyone else’s relatives in some way.ĭid I miss someone important? It’s totally possible! Half of these people have the same damn names! I also added in various notes to indicate “who killed whom” (or was ultimately responsible for the death) according to Shakespeare and “who had an affair with whom” (according to Shakespeare or historical fact or rumor). I started with the wonderful family tree over at The History of England Podcast website (Thank you very much!) and modified it in a lot of ways, erasing some descendants that aren’t mentioned in the plays or super relevant, adding in others that are, etc.
