[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

Just a week before Queen Catherine died, William Tudor received Henry VIII's canonization at Whitehall Palace.He looked much taller than when he first appeared at the court banquet, and his face was not pale or thin-cheeked like Anne Boleyn liked to see, but was incredibly healthy, even with a little baby fat.

"My dear little boy." The well-dressed Henry VIII hugged William Tudor, turned his weight smoothly, and expressed his satisfaction to Mrs. Bryan: "Thank you, my most loyal baroness. You Taking excellent care of our Prince of Wales."

"I dare not accept all of His Majesty's compliments, because I am not the only one who is working hard for the healthy growth of His Royal Highness." Mrs. Bryan knelt and said, "I implore you to distribute such praise equally to every servant of His Highness the Prince."

"It's natural." Henry VIII sat on the upper hand throne with William Tudor in his arms.

Seeing this, Elizabeth Bronte below couldn't help but wink, and couldn't even control her expression well.

Since the birth of William Tudor, the importance and treatment of Henry Fitzroy have been challenged like never before.At first, Henry VIII deprived Henry Fitzroy of part of his title on the grounds of his youth, and then transferred some of the people who had served Henry Fitzroy to William Tudor.

It included Lady Bryan, who was praised by Henry VIII, and Sir John Palgrave, Henry Fitzroy's teacher.

The king's sudden attitude not only caused the sensible Henry Fitzroy to fall from heaven to hell, but also made his mother, Elizabeth Bronte, feel uneasy.

If William Tudor came to the throne, his illegitimate brother would almost certainly be liquidated.After all, Henry Fitzroy is not Henry VI who has problems with his brain, nor is he like Henry VIII's grandfather, who had a French princess as his mother.

"Look at his cute appearance." The Duke of Norfolk, who noticed Elizabeth Bronte's mood, took the opportunity to get close to Elizabeth Bronte, and said meaningfully: "The Earl of Nottingham's canonization ceremony can't compare to Half the pomp of the Prince of Wales, my dear Lady Bronte, don't you have the slightest complaint about it?"

"Dear Your Excellency the Duke, as loyal subjects of His Majesty the King, we should not complain about all his orders." Elizabeth Bronte knew that the Duke of Norfolk was a restless and kind person, and she knew better that she did not have Anne Bo Because of Lin's ambition and Queen Catherine's background, he has no intention of letting his son or even his whole family become pawns of a certain force: "As for the Earl of Nottingham, I think His Majesty the King has made suitable arrangements for his sons, after all The Prince of Wales is still very young and deserves to have a loyal brother at his side."

"Mrs. Bronte, your prudence really astounds me." The Duke of Norfolk looked deeply at the former mistress of the king, and suddenly understood why she could stand out from the young ladies in the harem, and gave birth to her Queen Catherine's mad revenge after a son: "If Ms. Anne was half as cautious as you, I would be able to put her on the queen's throne with peace of mind."

"My lord duke, I really dare not bear your praise, because I am just an ordinary and ignorant woman, and I don't expect myself to get my hands on the jewels in the crown." Elizabeth Bronte collected her emotions and sold her The Duke of Norfolk said: "His Majesty the King does not like women who are too sharp."

Elizabeth Bronte glanced at Anne Boleyn, and said sarcastically, "He will reserve chivalry for his mistress, but he will not have the same concession for his wife."

The Duke of Norfolk was caught off guard by Elizabeth Bronte's words, and when he came back to his senses, William Tudor's christening ceremony had already ended, and Elizabeth Bronte also left with the crowd attending the banquet .

In the end, still grim-faced, the Boleyns told the Duke of Norfolk that William Tudor's guardian in Wales would be the Duchess of Suffolk and Princess Mary, eldest daughter of Henry VIII.

In order to ensure the safety of the Prince of Wales, His Majesty the King specially assigned his chief steward to the Prince of Wales, and even deliberately arranged a reliable marriage for the 15-year-old Princess Mary to ensure that she has enough political power to maintain William Tudor authority.

………………… I am the dividing line……………

Queen Catherine, who finally waited until William Tudor was canonized as Prince of Wales, died of illness in the arms of her children on a warm night.

Little William Tudor, dressed in the clothes he received when he was appointed, knelt devoutly and humbly in front of Queen Catherine's bed, listening to her dying instructions.

"William, you must love and respect your king and your father as much as I do. You must treat every maid around me well, because they fulfill their loyalty with their youth and prove their loyalty with time. You have to help each other and depend on each other with your sister. Because in this court where wolves are lurking and demons are rampant, you are your closest comrades-in-arms and the strongest fortress.”

After Queen Catherine finished speaking with difficulty, she coughed continuously in Princess Mary's arms.

The maid on the side hurriedly handed over a handkerchief, and when she took it back, she found that it had been dyed red to purple.

"Your Majesty." Seeing this, the remaining maids rushed to find a doctor, but Queen Catherine stopped them: "Don't bother the poor doctors. Because I have heard God's call, how could the Son of Man do it?" can be prevented."

After all, Queen Catherine firmly held the hands of William Tudor and Princess Mary, and died with a smile accompanied by her children.

"Your Majesty..." There were bursts of crying in the Richmond Palace, and then someone reported the news to the long-awaited king.

"Really? This is really sad news." Henry VIII didn't have much sadness on his face, but he was obviously relieved: "In this year, there will be no news that can dilute Catherine's heart. The sorrow of death."

Seeing this, Thomas Cromwell immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, what would you like to arrange for Queen Catherine's funeral?"

Had Catherine of Aragon not borne a son, she would have been buried in Peterborough Abbey as Princess of Wales, stripped of her estate by Anne Boleyn.

However, the existence of William Tudor made Henry VIII never treat his first wife so cruelly—even though he had exhausted all his patience with Catherine of Aragon, but under the buffer of the Prince of Wales, he It is still necessary to maintain the status of the first wife and the treatment after death.

"Queen Catherine will be buried in St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, and my sister, Mary Tudor, will be the mourner." Henry VIII mused: "According to her request during her lifetime, her servants will receive a sum of money. No small reward in recognition of their loyalty to the queen. In addition, the dowry left by Queen Catherine will be divided between William and Mary intact, but Mary will take care of her brother's share until William comes of age .”
