Elizabeth Tudor was sent from court in 1543 by her father. No one knows why only that the King dragged her out by the hair kicking and screaming. When she came back they were friends again and she adored him. So what did they argue about? Did she confront him on her mother and Katherine Howard? Or was she too outspoken on her ideas of marriage?

I would like to ascertain the historical source this account comes from.
Henry was elderly and ill in 1543, finally dying in 1547. With the gout and the overweight would he be able to handle a physical confrontation?
I have never come across any suggestion that he tooks a hands-on approach with his children's discipline so am very curious about this one.
was this on The Tudors or something? I imagine Lil O'lady is correct. If someone with gout is mistreating you, one quick kick in the foot will disable him or her for quite a while. I speak from experience. <limps away>

ah, I am talking about 1543 but thank you all the same

yes it would have been hard with the wound in his leg but maybe he just got so angry? We shall never know...

btw it wasn't on the Tudors I read it in several David Starkey books and Alison Weir

Fact not Fiction
fair enough, dramaqueen - I just get suspicious of questions about The Tudors these days, on account of the massive unreliability of the TV series. Curious that historians know what Henry did but not what he said before it. Perhaps it comes down to us from one eyewitness account, possibly from someone who came in halfway through - that is sometimes the case with historical documents. Do Starkey or Weir name their source(s)?
