Henry VIII's Lost Dagger: From the Tudor Court to the Victorian Stage 

Henry the VIII dagger, engraving by George Vertue, 1749. The Lewis Walpole Library, Yale University. 

How rare and alluring when a historical detective story emerges; Henry VIII's Lost Dagger follows a centuries-old mystery, tracing the remarkable journey of a vanished Ottoman dagger—once believed to belong to Henry VIII—from the Tudor court to Horace Walpole’s Gothic collection at Strawberry Hill, and on to Charles Kean’s Victorian stage where it became a prop in royal theatricals, before vanishing without a trace.

Now, two near-identical daggers—on loan from Welbeck Abbey and Vienna’s Kunsthistorisches Museum—reunite for the first time in over a century, joined by original drawings and archival materials to illuminate one of history’s most tantalizing enigmas.
