Robert Hodge
Bessie Blount, of Kinlet - mistress of Henry VIII
Elizabeth Blount of Kinlet, who had a reputation as a beauty, was sent to court as a maid-of-honour to Catherine of Aragon. She caught the eye of the King and in 1514 or 1515, at the age of 16 became his mistress. The relationship continued for about eight years, and in 1519 she bore him a son, Henry Fitzroy, later Duke of Richmond, who might just have become Henry IX. Bessie Blount later married twice. Who was she and what happened to Henry?
