Islington Tribune - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 27 February 2009

Credit to King’s gran

• YOU stated incorrectly that St John’s College is “a prestigious Cambridge institution founded by the mother of Henry VIII” (City high flyers’ fingers on buzzers, February 6).
In fact, the founder of St John’s College was Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII (who was father of Henry VIII). Therefore Margaret Beaufort was Henry VIII’s grandmother.
