There have also been rumours that Thomas Stucley, son of Jane Stucley, John Perrot, son of Mary Berkeley and Ethelreda Malte, daughter of Joan Dyngley were Henry's children. There is no evidence whatsoever for this; it's based on people after Henry's death feeling that these people looked like Henry.
