Henry VIII is remembered today for being the 6 wifed Tudor Monarch who orchestrated the execution’s of two of his wife’s. He is known for being a brutal man, and someone who would get whatever he wanted. Not many people dared to cross Henry, and he was a King who also had a number of mistresses. The most high profile mistress he had was Mary Boleyn, the sister of the woman who would become his second wife. But if the King wanted to sleep with a woman at his court, the husband of the woman would have little say in this, and the expectation was that the woman would be sent to Henry VIII’s bedchamber in the evening. Very few ladies rejected this idea, and were encouraged to sleep with the Tudor king to advance their families and standing at court. But the King did have a number of illegitimate children, but there is one which today is very forgotten about, and very little is documented about her life and also her fate. But who was Ethelreda Malte, the reported illegitimate daughter of King Henry VIII.
