January 28, 1457 - Birth of Henry Tudor, the future Henry VII. He was the founder of the Tudor dynasty, defeating Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth, father of Henry VIII and grandfather of Elizabeth I.
January 28, 1547 - Henry VIII, one of the most infamous English monarchs, died at Whitehall Palace. It was exactly 100 years after the birth of his father Henry VII.
