[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

This should be regarded as William Tudor's first meeting with Queen Catherine and Princess Mary since he was one year old.Although Henry VIII did not prevent Queen Catherine from visiting William Tudor in Suffolk, her physical condition did not allow her to do so. Coupled with the covetousness of the Norfolk department, Queen Catherine did not want to be young. The famous William Tudor has become a living target in the eyes of everyone, so in recent years, the communication between William Tudor and Queen Catherine has been limited to letters and portraits, and the portrait techniques of the Tudor era are actually more or less cheating. suspected.

To be honest, Queen Catherine is not bad-looking. After all, she is the Spanish princess who can make Henry VIII marry against his father's order. It is a pity that years and diseases have taken away her beauty, but in her daughter Princess Mary, You can still see the demeanor of Queen Catherine and the shadow of Elizabeth of York.

Queen Catherine, who was rarely reunited with her husband and son, had a lot to say, but Henry VIII was not a patient listener, so he did not exchange a few words with Queen Catherine, so he used the excuse of entertaining guests to talk to Anne. Boleyn's gangsters get together.

However, before he left, he gave William an exquisite small dagger with the initials of Queen Catherine and Henry cast on the handle to represent the joint rule of the king and his wife.

"Take care of him, remember not to make him sick, but don't spoil him too much." Although he hadn't seen him for many years, Henry VIII showed his love for William Tudor, and even squatted down to straighten the folds of his collar, and then Pinching his son's face, he told Mrs. Brian and Mrs. Parr: "Catherine's health is not very good, so don't let William and Catherine get too close in Richmond Palace, so as not to get sick. In addition, if William shows any signs of discomfort, no matter when, you must notify me immediately."

"Yes." Mrs. Brian and Mrs. Pal knelt down and said, "Please rest assured that the little prince has always been in good health. Of course, we will not take it lightly."

After instructing the head maid, Henry VIII cast his gaze on William Tudor, and whispered to him, "When you get older, I'll take you to Greenwich Palace to hunt. You haven't hunted yet. Bar!"

"I have seen the Duke of Suffolk take his children to hunt, but my aunt won't let me go." William Tudor pretended to be very distressed, and complained to Henry VIII: "She wants me to go Staying in the house all day, not even allowing me to go near the grove near the house."

"Your aunt is right." Henry VIII laughed out loud at his son's childish words, then scratched William Tudor's nose, and said to him sternly: "But women always make a fuss over a molehill, but A true knight would never argue with a woman, understand?"

William Tudor nodded, Henry VIII gave him a kiss on the forehead, and then sent William Tudor and Catherine and their mother and daughter out of the palace after the Christmas banquet.

The distance between Whitehall Palace and Richmond Palace was not far, but the nature of children made William Tudor feel sleepy as soon as he got in the car.The effect of the bumping carriage is far better than that of the cradle, coupled with the warm atmosphere of the carriage and the fluffy fur cushions, so William Tudor slept soundly next to Princess Mary, which made the young Tudor lady a little awkward, and then Put William Tudor's head on his lap so he could sleep more comfortably.

"I want to thank the Duchess of Suffolk very much, because she raised William so healthy." Queen Catherine looked at her two children lovingly, and felt that her body was much refreshed: "I have already sent people to Richmond. The palace has cleared William's room, which happens to be next door to yours."

"Isn't this too intimate?" Princess Mary, who has lived as an only child for more than ten years, is not used to getting along with William, but she still loves this hard-won brother very much: "William is four years old, he should also Learn how to be a knight."

"I have also discussed this with His Majesty the King." Queen Catherine is not a doting mother, but she has lost her son many times, making her, like Henry VIII, very concerned about William Tudor's physical condition: " I plan to choose a butler for William, and a few more servants, so that the ladies who serve him will not face an embarrassing situation."

After all, she said softly to Princess Mary: "Don't worry, I just want to take this opportunity to let you get acquainted. When William grows up, I will let him move to another room in Richmond Palace."

Princess Mary nodded in agreement.

While Catherine's mother and son were loving each other, there was an uproar in the Whitehall Palace because of the existence of Anne Boleyn.

The enraged Henry VIII grabbed Thomas Cromwell by the collar in three steps and two steps, pointed the tip of a knife to his chin and said, "Repeat your master's words again? The Wolsey one What on earth did the old man plan with the Spanish groom? It caused the Pope to issue such a decree."

Facing the anger of Henry VIII, Thomas Cromwell didn't have much fear, and said without humility: "Your Majesty, the will of the Pope cannot be controlled by anyone. The sudden rise of the plague in London made Bishop Wolsey uneasy. He didn’t ask God’s spokesperson in the world, but His Majesty’s answer was that heretics appeared around His Majesty, so God punished London.”

Speaking of this, Thomas Cromwell held his clothes and said humbly: "Bishop Wolsey implores you to send Ms. Anne away. For this, he is willing to suffer any punishment."

"Would you like to be punished any way?" Henry VIII sneered, "Then let him enter the palace to be punished in person. Don't be a coward and just hide behind the secretary."

"But Your Majesty, the Bishop of Wolsey has suffered from a mysterious plague." Thomas Cromwell had expected Henry VIII to say this, so he handed over a letter: "He knows that God will soon Take him to heaven, so write all the unsaid words here, please take a look."

Henry VIII was taken aback for a moment, then took the letter from Thomas Cromwell, opened it, glanced at it, threw it aside, and then slammed the table, venting his anger that had nowhere to go.

"Aside from Wolsey, who else knows the Pope's will?" Henry VIII bent his lips ironically, and said sharply: "I even forgot that the Pope was Charles' prisoner long ago, so Catherine's nephew finished the lesson. François, the next step is to reach out to England's internal affairs?"

"Does he think I'm a coward like Francois?" When mentioning Charles V and the Pope who were always against him, Henry VIII felt extremely aggrieved: "If it wasn't for William, I would have let Charlie take him back and be kicked out. aunt."

The arrogance of Henry VIII would never allow him to be beaten like a bereaved dog by Charles V like Francois, and then honestly be Charles V's marionette like the Pope of Rome: "Since they don't want to let If I marry Ms. Anne, then I will let them know what the king's will is."

Henry VIII took a sip of his wine and said with a sneer, "It doesn't matter if it's Wolsey or Charlie. No one can stop Ms. Anne from becoming England's next queen."

"In this case, I will bring your will to Bishop Wolsey." Thomas Cromwell felt that the opportunity he had dreamed of was in front of him, so he ventured to test: "Only in this way, you are very likely to break with the Church of Rome."

"Are you really ready?"
