Looks like this castle has seen better days - the neighbouring cove is named after another Margaret Of History, who landed here in 1462.
Do you recognise the ruins?

Where is Margaret Beaufort today???
Clue 1 is something Margaret herself might recognise. Bonus points if you know why - and can say where Margaret has ducked off to today!
(More clues later…)

#OTD1485 at #Bosworth, the death of #RichardIII and the birth of the #Tudor dynasty. For #Cecily, matriarch of York, it was the final defeat. A defeat masterminded by #HenryTudor's mother #MargaretBeaufort. Henry defeated Richard. Margaret brought down the House of York. Oh, these fierce women!

On this day, a mere 540 years ago, the Tudor dynasty was born in battle (and through a lot of BTS conspiring by a middle aged countess).

Such a pleasure to speak recently at a History study day organised by the Countess of Derby at Knowsley Hall. I spoke on Margaret Beaufort, the first Countess of Derby. Here’s a short video on the days, as well as information on Lady Derby’s upcoming study days #knowsleyhall #margaretbeaufort

#MargaretTudor 14, #HenryVII's eldest daughter left Colly Weston home of Grandmother #MargaretBeaufort to meet 1st husband #JamesIV of Scotland
The perpetual peace expected by this union didn't last!
Granny mindful of her own experience, delayed their coupling!

I was shown this stunning carved cattle horn today at Knowsley Hall, home of the earls of Derby). Family tradition calls it the Bosworth Horn, with it carved to celebrate the victory of Henry Tudor, at the Battle of Bosworth on 1485 #battleofbosworth #tudor #tudors #margaretbeaufort #knowsleyhall
