John Blanke

[10] The Westminster Tournament Roll is an illuminated, 60-foot manuscript now held by the College of Arms; it recorded the royal procession to the lavish tournament held on 12 and 13 February 1511 to celebrate the birth of a son, Henry, Duke of Cornwall (died 23 February 1511), to Catherine and Henry VIII on New Year's Day 1511.

In 2020, Blanke was listed as one of 100 Great Black Britons who have helped to shape Britain, featured in a book of the same name by Patrick Vernon.

[13] British rapper and novelist Akala based a character in his book The Dark Lady on John Blanke, released in 2021.

[16][17] In May 2022, an exhibition titled The Tudors: Passion, Power and Politics at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool displayed in public for the first time in 20 years two portraits of Blanke on the Westminster Tournament Roll.

[21][22] The Project celebrates and is linked to images of Blanke,[23][24] and was featured in a Sky Arts presentation on 11 July 2023, marking the opening of the refurbished National Portrait Gallery, London.
