King Henry VIII had a secret daughter who should have taken the throne before Elizabeth I, new research has revealed.
Elizabeth Tailboys was the Tudor monarch's illegitimate lovechild who would have changed the course of British history had the King acknowledged her as his at the time.
By rights she should have taken the throne on the death of Queen Mary in 1558, making her the true Elizabeth I and not Elizabeth, the daughter of Anne Boleyn
The revelation has been unearthed by historian Elizabeth Norton who has re-examined royal records as part of an investigation into the life of Henry VIII's famous mistress Bessie Blount.
'Bessie Blount is widely known to have been Henry's mistress, and she was already the mother of his acknowledged son Henry Fitzroy.
Mrs Norton has now published the startling research in a new book, Bessie Blount; Mistress to Henry VIII.

Of course ... this hypothesis is impossible because the issue of Bessie Blount were born illegitimate while Mary and Elizabeth I were born during marriages to the King.
