Excerpt from Henry VII

From place to place for change of air, but Bernard André later declared, in his courtly way, that the boy Showed himself remarkably quick and brilliant.1 This comparatively peaceful time was interrupted by the capture of Harlech Castle by William, Lord Herbert, in 1466. Henry fell into the hands of the victor, who was rewarded with the title of the Earl of Pembroke and given the wardship of the young Earl of Richmond. He intended to marry the latter to his daughter Maud, but a year later he was killed at Banbury. A brief gleam of Lancastrian success followed. Richmond was restored to the keeping of the Earl of Pembroke, who was one Of the first to welcome Henry VI. At his restoration. He presented his young kinsman to the king, this being the occasion of the frequently repeated though probably apocryphal prophecy concerning the boy's future, which appears in Henry VI.

He states that he was born on Februarii kalend. decimo septimo (16th January), on the feast of St. Agnes the Second (28th January): Memorials of Henry VII. (R olls Ser.); A ndre, Vita, p. 12. The latter date has been generally adopted, as Andre was probably more familiar with the saints days than with the Roman calendar.
