John Amyas, Esquire-13th Great Grandfather
Seargent At Arms to King Henry VIII
In my research into my family history I have discovered so many things that have made my mind spin out of control.
Thoughts of "how could this be possible" is one of the biggest questions my brain has asked time and time again.
Today while doing research I discovered a 13th great grandfather that was the "Sergeant At Arms" of King Henry VIII of England. During the research into my ancestry to him and his ancestry, I also discovered that one of his ancestral great grandmothers was the aunt of Elizabeth Grey Woodville York, Queen of England and wife of Edward IV York, King of England.
Who was this ancestor of mine and what exactly was a "Seargent At Arms"???
Meet my 13th Great Grandfather, John Amyas, Esquire
