The Twelfth Days of Christmas (Tudor Style)

   Posted by: Dorothea Preis   in Medieval Miscellany

Henry Tudor’s Christmas Wish List

On the twelfth day of Christmas my mummy sent to me
Twelve Woodvilles scheming,
Eleven lords rebelling,
Ten acts of treason,
Nine rumours brewing,
Eight tame historians,
Seven pots of French gold,
Six spies of Morton,
Five malmsey butts,
Four Papal pardons,
Three suns of York,
Two little princes,
And a crown in a hawthorn bush.
