Raglan Castle's first Tudor Weekend brought one of its sons back behind its stone walls. Henry Tudor, later King Henry VII, was raised at Raglan Castle from four years old to 14; The Tudors, the infamous dynasty, are really Welsh. An estimated 2,000 people enjoyed a knight's tournament, gasped at an execution, listened intently to talks about Anne Boleyn, and marvelled at a re-enactment of the Battle of Bosworth, a true celebration of Tudor times. Living history groups included Armourial Knights and Beaufort Companye with face painting, games and a family Tudor trail keeping everyone entertained. Visitors were also given the opportunity to try on Tudor dress, listen to historian Emma Knight, and have pictures taken with numerous beefeaters, along with both Henry VII and Henry VIII. With renewed interest with the recent screening of 'The White Queen' and the recent find of the body of Henry III in a car park in Leicestershire, the history had come alive from where it all began.
