Recent research on the crew of the Mary Rose, King Henry VIII’s flagship, shows just how multicultural Tudor-era England was. The findings are part of a year-long investigation commissioned by the Mary Rose Museum in Portsmouth, where the 400-year-old wreck resides and is being studied. As Nicola Davis at The Guardian reports, it’s not a secret that there was diversity in Tudor England. There are more crew members from the Mary Rose that researchers can investigate. The new research is being presented at the museum in an exhibition called The Many Faces of Tudor England opening today.
