    LifeSketch: Sir Roland de Velville is reputed to have been a natural son of Henry VII, born to a unknown Breton lady while Henry was in exile in Brittany between 1471 and 1485. In the past those historians or writers who have mentioned Velville have, as far as I can see, either accepted him as such or have referred to him as a 'reputed natural son' of Henry VII. I have found no indication that Velville was believed not to be a natural son of Henry VII prior to 1967, over 400 years after his death. Even today he continues to be accepted as a natural son of Henry VII, the most recent example being Alison Weir in her book 'Britain's Royal Families' (Pimlico, 1996). Even such an authoritative source as the Dictionary of Welsh Biography refers to Velville as 'a natural son of Henry VII' (under the entry for Katheryn of Berain).or a contrarian view, see the attached document by Chrimes in 1967 challenging the likelihood that Sir Roland was son of Henry VII. Wikipedia currently lists "formal historical opinion undecided"
