Image description

Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII were confident that their first child would be a son but, on Sunday, 7th September 1533, the future Elizabeth I was born. Letters announcing the birth were immediately sent out, some of which, like this one, had been written in advance when a boy was expected. Here God is thanked for sending the Queen good speed in the deliverance and bringing forth of a prince. Hastily an 's' was added to announce the birth of a 'princes' Source/Shelfmark: Harley 283, f.75
