Her contention is that Henry Fitzroy could have become Henry IX, had he survived his father and his brother Edward VI (born in 1537).
Interestingly, she claims that the anomalies of Fitzroy's administration should be ascribed to the kingdom's old feudal divisions rather than to the age and status of the "small duke".
In a final twist, she highlights the importance of the young bastard prince in his father's dynastic anxieties and stresses the fact that Fitzroy's presence had been "Henry's tangible assurance that he could have a son – reassurance for his subjects and an insurance policy that Henry took for granted would always be there" (255).
