The spelling of "Henry VII Cate" can be tricky, with its mixture of Roman numerals and archaic language. The correct pronunciation is /ˈhɛnri sɛvənθ keɪt/. "Henry" is straightforward, but "VII" is pronounced /ˈsɛvənθ/ as the ordinal number. "Cate" is an archaic spelling of "ket," meaning a chain or loop, and is pronounced /keɪt/. This term is used in reference to a particular chain of office worn by the Lord Mayor of London during the reign of King Henry VII of England.
