[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

After the court doctor officially handed over the notice of Queen Catherine's critical illness, together with the "Bill of Powers", there were also negative news about the next queen and a letter of request submitted by Queen Catherine before she was critically ill.

"She asked William to be named Prince of Wales before she died?" For the sake of his two children and Queen Catherine's imminent death, Henry VIII accepted Queen Catherine's request with a good temper. , the frown became tighter: "What is she trying to do?"

"Her Majesty's original intention is to protect the treatment of the two children after her death, and at the same time to prevent your future children from having interest disputes with Prince William and Princess Mary." The Spanish maid sent by Catherine said neither humble nor overbearing: "After all, from In terms of blood, Prince William and Princess Mary are not only the children of you and Her Majesty the Queen, but also the potential heirs of Spain. Even if their ranking is not high, only God knows the fate of everything. I think you are also aware of Her Majesty the Queen's What happened to the brothers and sisters."

"If King Charles and his children die without heirs, then William may compete with his Portuguese cousin for the throne of Spain. Besides, your wish is only to pass the Act of Supremacy of Kings to prevent other countries from interfering with England, not Completely break with the Christian world." When the Spanish maid said this, she had already scolded Henry VIII no less than a thousand times in her heart, and at the same time she kept praying for forgiveness from God and the Pope: "If you let someone with a bad reputation If your Protestant son becomes the Crown Prince, then it will not only be the Emperor of Spain who will have a problem with England, but also other monarchs who are on good terms with you."

Although Henry VIII hated Queen Catherine's Spanish maid, he thought carefully about what she said and gave some affirmation: "Is this what Catherine meant? Did she say this as a Spanish princess, or as the queen of England?" talk?"

"She will be buried in England as your wife and the mother of the crown prince." The Spanish maid couldn't help her voice choked up when she mentioned her queen, and said in a humble tone: "Please also fulfill her little wish, don't let She returned to the arms of my Lord with regret."

"Dear lady, you should understand that this is not a small wish." Henry VIII sarcastically said: "This will determine the future of England."

"But dear Your Majesty, you should also understand that what you are doing now will have a far-reaching impact on England than this." The Spanish maid broke the pot and said, "And compared to the lady on your bed, William It will have a better impact on you."

"I can't refute this point." Henry VIII carefully looked at the face of the Spanish maid, and found that she was a young and beautiful lady who was more loyal and pious than Anne Boleyn. He couldn't help showing a little interest in her: "You name."

"Margaret." The Spanish maid thought she had persuaded Henry VIII, and a trace of gratitude flashed across her face: "May the Lord bless you, and Your Majesty's two children."

Henry VIII enjoyed the gratitude of a beautiful maid, and he even wanted to take Margaret as his mistress, but the latter refused Henry VIII's invitation to dine together on the grounds of his return, and left in a hurry Whitehall Palace.

"Let Thomas Cromwell come to me." Henry VIII thought about asking his servant to bring Mary Howard into the palace tonight. After all, Anne Boleyn still prevented Henry VIII from completely succeeding, and His Majesty the King was unwilling to compromise his various needs, so both Thomas Boleyn and the Duke of Norfolk agreed to let Mary Howard replace Anne Boleyn.

As for what the queen-to-be who created a way for them to rise up thinks, that is not within their consideration.

Thomas Cromwell, who drew up the draft, hesitated to Henry VIII's order to make William the Prince of Wales before Queen Catherine died, and said, "Your Majesty, if you do this, many people may object to it."

"Then what are they against?" Henry VIII stared into Thomas Cromwell's eyes, acting completely unlike a lecherous king who was blinded by a witch: "If you object to a prince with Boleyn blood, can't you be the Prince of Wales? Or object to it?" England cannot be at odds with all nations?"

Noticing that he had angered the king a bit, Thomas Cromwell made a proper concession: "From the perspective of inheritance law, there is nothing wrong with your canonization of Prince William. It is just for the safety of Prince William. The issue of his treatment after he is entrusted will be determined." caused controversy.”

"Considering your plan to marry Ms. Anne, as well as the existence of the Boleyn family and the Howard family. Maybe you should carefully consider the residence and servants of Prince William after he is entrusted, and whether to send a family A temporary guardian to take care of all aspects of Prince William."

Henry VIII re-examined Thomas Cromwell, and praised his attitude of being neither humble nor overbearing: "You are much more interesting than some people in the Howard family. They only ask me for the title, and then bring me endless money trouble."

"Serving you is the duty of every servant." Thomas Cromwell lamented that the Boleyn family's bamboo basket was empty, and began to think about whether to surrender to Prince William in advance, and then when he left Whitehall Palace, A letter was entrusted to Richmond Palace with a letter from Bishop Wolsey.

"Perhaps you are right." Thomas Cromwell, who watched the messenger leave in a hurry, sighed: "Only the Prince of Wales is an unstoppable existence."

Judging from the current attitude of the king, Anne Boleyn's fall from favor is inevitable.

The question is how long it will take for her downfall, it depends on how upbeat her stomach is after marriage.

The king's decree to crown Prince William as Prince of Wales has been passed, and both the Boleyn and Howard families took a deep breath.

Anne Boleyn's joy over Queen Catherine's critical illness disappeared immediately, and she could only murmur to herself under her mother's comfort: "How dare he, how dare he do such a thing?"

"He is the king, and there is nothing a king dares to do." The Duke of Norfolk was the calmest one, and he even had time to satirize Anne Boleyn's wishful thinking: "Besides, even if you can give birth to a child smoothly, don't dream about him On an equal footing with Prince William."

"You..." Anne Boleyn said furiously: "My dear uncle, are you going to bow your knees to Catherine's son so soon and beg for mercy?"

"No, I'm just stating a fact, not complaining like a woman." The Duke of Norfolk sneered: "Even if you have the king's favor, how can you compare with Catherine? Her blood, power, and even her back The huge dowry is not comparable to yours, a small nobleman. His Majesty the King probably wants to use William to win over the Spanish emperor, and those Catholic kings who oppose you as queen. So you have to be honest with me recently. "

"If you still want to be queen."
