[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

When Henry VIII was dying, he had a long nightmare.

In the dream, Catherine of Aragon did not give birth to William Tudor, who died at the age of fifty in the seventh year of the divorce war.Facing his first wife who had been with him for more than 50 years, Henry VIII in his dream not only let Catherine of Aragon be buried in Peterborough Church as Princess of Wales, but also refused to allow Miss Mary to participate on the grounds of "national security". Her mother's funeral.He also connived Anne Boleyn to search for the relics of Catherine of Aragon, and on the day his wife died, he and Anne Boleyn wore yellow clothes representing celebration, flirted with Anne Boleyn at the banquet at Hampton Palace, loudly singing.

"Thank God, that half-dead old woman has finally returned to the embrace of God." Anne Boleyn, who was half-breasted, took Henry VIII's hand and rolled a beautiful skirt flower in front of his chest.

Seeing such a moving Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII didn't feel relieved or half-joyed, but instead followed the dance steps of the other party, flashing bursts of dazzling shadow earrings, feeling dizzy.

"Enough." Henry VIII pushed Anne Boleyn in front of him, who was still laughing and spinning after losing the fulcrum, and finally, like a rag doll being rolled into a guillotine chopping board, there was a crisp click Finally, a delicate head rolled to Henry VIII's feet, and said softly with the lips that could dazzle Henry VIII: "Henry, your Tudor dynasty is doomed."

"No...it's impossible...it's impossible..." Henry VIII stared into the eyes of the beheaded Anne, only to find that the banquet at Hampton Palace had become the execution platform in the Tower of London.A group of old maids dressed in black carried the decapitated Anne Boleyn to a broken wardrobe for burial.

And when Henry VIII wanted to stop them, the scene turned into Hampton Court Palace with people coming and going.It's just that this time it's no longer a banquet hall for celebration, but the queen's bedroom, which has lost its hostess.

"Ma'am, what should I do with this child?" Miss Elizabeth's nanny, holding the bewildered baby, asked Henry VIII's most trusted royal teacher, Mrs. Bryan: "Her mother was just executed by the king, Sir Richard told me , she has lost her title of princess and her privileges."

"Since you know this, you shouldn't be wandering around Hampton Court Palace with her in your arms." Mrs. Bryan was a noble woman with a benevolent heart under a stern face.She pulled the nanny aside and said softly, "Take Miss Elizabeth away quickly, otherwise the king may take his anger out on her."

After all, Mrs. Bryan also handed the nanny a few coins to prevent the enraged Henry VIII from refusing to pay the maintenance of his youngest daughter.

"Yes." The nanny couldn't bear to let Miss Elizabeth suffer the king's wrath, so she carefully collected the coins that Mrs. Brian gave her, and left Hampton Court Palace through the back door of the kitchen.

"Jane, no one is standing in front of us now, and you will be the perfect wife God gave me." At the third wedding in his life, Henry VIII said very affectionately to the wife he felt the least about.

And Miss Jane Seymour, who was called the "perfect wife" by Henry VIII, lived up to expectations and performed the duties of the queen, and gave Henry VIII the legal son that Henry VIII was thinking of.

But after the birth of frail Prince Edward, Jane Seymour died of puerperal fever.

Standing before the black coffin, Henry VIII watched the pale Jane Seymour grow paler against the black mourning dress.

Thinking about it now, his only impression of this wife is her forever lowered gaze and her extremely submissive attitude.

After the death of Jane Seymour, Henry VIII did slump for a while.However, as the supreme ruler of England, Henry VIII has the right to let everyone depressed with him.

In memory of Jane Seymour who died in childbirth, but also to consolidate the status of Prince Edward whose mother was not crowned.Henry VIII forced the daughters of the first two queens to become Prince Edward's maid, and hoped that the adult Miss Mary could take care of the infant Prince Edward like a mother.

"After Edward was born, we were all insignificant characters." Miss Mary and her sister knelt in front of the cross, and said cruelly the reality they faced: "Now we are all the king's illegitimate daughters...even less than Not the bastards who never lived in Hampton Court."

"Then will we die?" The young Miss Elizabeth has a pair of old eyes, and her face is so calm that she cannot see the true posture of her soul.

"If you anger the king, you'd better hope that he will find you a familiar executioner, so that you won't suffer too much pain on the execution ground." Miss Mary could no longer shed painful tears, and could only show her weirdness to Miss Elizabeth. With a smile: "My dear illegitimate sister, for the sake of your life, don't try to anger the king, and don't mention your hateful mother."

Miss Elizabeth nodded quietly, and then prayed with Miss Mary before God.

Henry VIII looked at these two daughters who had been abandoned by him, and did not show much emotion.

A daughter is just the icing on the cake.

From Elizabeth of York, Henry VIII deeply understood the importance of his son to the continuation of the dynasty, and never regretted his decision.

After Jane Seymour died, Henry VIII, who had been depressed for a while, married an ugly woman from the Principality of Cleves on Thomas Cromwell's suggestion.

Because Thomas Cromwell lied in good faith about the portrait and appearance of Princess Cleves, Henry VIII, who was forced to marry an "ugly wife", after a short period of patience, furiously bestowed on Thomas Cromwell died unmercifully, and after sending away his hated new wife, he picked a young and beautiful maid to be his new mistress.

Catherine Howard, cousin of Anne Boleyn, one of the pawns brought to court by the Duke of Norfolk, and old enough to be Henry VIII's daughter.

"Your Majesty, it is the luckiest thing in my life to be your wife." The young and charming Catherine Howard has a wildness rarely seen in court women, but she is not as difficult and ambitious as Anne Boleyn.

One of the advantages of keeping a young girl in captivity is that Henry VIII never lacks for ways to make her happy.

Catherine Howard was born on the side of the aristocracy, she had never seen anything good since she was a child, and she was not well-educated like Henry VIII's first two wives, so a new piece of jewelry or a new dress would make her happy long time.

Henry VIII enjoyed the adoring gaze of his young wife, wrapping the joyous little oriole in jewels and banquets, hoping to draw youthful strength from her.

However, Catherine Howard, like the filthy Anne Boleyn, committed shameless acts behind the king's back, so Henry VIII mercilessly executed the little wife in her early twenties.

As a result, at the moment Catherine Howard was dragged away from Henry VIII's chapel, the scene changed again to the execution ground in the Tower of London.

Catherine Howard, who had seen her lover, the headmaid executed, first confessed her fault after crying briefly, and then asked the people present to pray for her.

"I'm just a stupid girl who is dazzled by desire." Catherine Howard's pitiful posture made Henry VIII feel a little pity for her, but what the other party said next made Henry VIII want to snatch the executioner's ax , directly hacked Catherine Howard to death.

"I die as a queen, but I want to die as Culpepper's wife." Kneeling in the blood, Catherine Howard looked up at the sky and said the last words of her life: "Life is true, incomparable good."

Immediately there was a flash of silver light, and a young head rolled down into the soil.

"What a stupid woman." Henry VIII stood in Miss Elizabeth's room at some point, looked at her and looked at the Tower of London in the distance, and said calmly: "God witnesses, I will never marry."

Henry VIII nodded to his youngest daughter, hoping that she would keep her promise and avoid her husband from bringing too much pressure on Edward after marriage.

It's just that Henry VIII overestimated the health of his only legitimate son, and at the same time underestimated the psychological shadow he caused on his two daughters.

After Catherine Howard was executed, Henry VIII watched him marry a middle-aged woman who was plain-looking, but very similar to Catherine of Aragon in her behavior.

The woman who successfully sent Henry VIII away eventually married Thomas Seymour, who had been plotting against Miss Elizabeth for a long time, and after giving birth to a daughter who was doomed to die, she suffered from puerperal fever like Jane Seymour .

Henry VIII, who couldn't change the situation, could only watch his carefully cared-for son die of unexplained tuberculosis before his 16th birthday. Then, because of England's religious issues, the Nine Days Queen Incident occurred and a man was executed. A group of careerists with their eyes on the throne.

Lady Mary became England's first queen after the death of Edward VI, and brought England back to Catholicism, which had given her immense strength.

In order to ensure that the torch of Catholicism is passed on on the land of England.Under the persuasion of Bishop Gardiner and the Spanish ambassador, Miss Mary gradually alienated and imprisoned her sister Miss Elizabeth, who had been dependent on her, but refused to execute the pagan sister, but forced her to convert to Catholicism.

"Mary, over the past ten years, we have worked together through the most difficult times. We have always regarded each other as the person I trust the most. As your most loyal sister and subject, God will prove my innocence, and I will bring you Love that goes to the grave.

If you still doubt me, give me the most merciful death, and don't let me suffer fear in the Tower of London like my father's wife. "

Miss Elizabeth, who was imprisoned by Queen Mary I in the Tower of London because of the Queen's Restoration on Nine Days, wrote a letter to her half-sister with humble words but did not give up her dignity, and crossed the blank space with a slash. Avoid someone adding oil and vinegar.

Henry VIII noticed that Miss Elizabeth's signature was "Sister waiting for your reply, Elizabeth."

A few days later, at Mary I's coronation ceremony, Miss Elizabeth stood behind the queen as first in line to the throne.

In the following years, Miss Elizabeth was imprisoned by Mary I in a manor outside London.

No matter how intimidating Philip II was, Mary I refused to kill Miss Elizabeth or make the Catholic Queen of Scots his heir.

Seeing his eldest daughter who was gradually going crazy, Henry VIII was angry and yelled, but he was powerless like air.

It wasn't until Mary I went to the end of her life like Edward once did, that Henry VIII stopped his useless anger and looked at his deeply hurt daughter sadly and guiltily.

After all, he had loved Mary very much.

If she hadn't gone through all the sad things, Mary I would not have ended up like this.

"You are here..." Mary I, who was on the sickbed, took advantage of Philip II's return home and summoned Miss Elizabeth into the palace.

"Your Majesty..." Miss Elizabeth was not sure what kind of feelings Mary I had for her, so she stood in front of the queen's sickbed with the most cautious attitude, waiting for her final fate.

"You should call me Mary!" Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face of her younger sister, Mary I coughed weakly a few times, and murmured to the curtain, "After all, I did not become the queen my mother expected."

Miss Elizabeth noticed that Mary I's pupils were a little dizzy, so after hesitating for a moment, she sat down beside Mary I's pillow, and then embraced Mary I in her arms.

Just like when they were young, Mary I comforted Miss Elizabeth who had a fever.

"England will be handed over to you." Mary I, who was leaning on her sister's shoulder, raised her chin reflectively and laughed at herself: "I am a weak and unqualified monarch, but I must not hand over England to Spain."

"You have done a good job." Miss Elizabeth hugged Mary I tightly, and comforted: "You love England more than anyone else."

"Yes, I do love England deeply, but I didn't treat her kindly." Mary I held Miss Elizabeth's arm tightly and said word by word: "Don't be as stupid as me, and don't be as incompetent as me."

"Elizabeth, I give you the crown and the people."

"So you have to be a qualified queen..."

Mary I's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally fell asleep in Miss Elizabeth's arms.

Henry VIII only felt a lump in his throat, but he couldn't say a word.

After Mary I's body cooled down, Miss Elizabeth took away the cross commonly used by the other party.

"I will fulfill your wish." Miss Elizabeth promised at the funeral of Mary I: "I will marry England and be loyal to it forever."

"No...you can't do this..." Henry VIII suddenly remembered Miss Elizabeth's promise, and he wanted to grab her by the shoulder and shake it vigorously: "You can't do this...the Tudor Dynasty cannot end here."

It's a pity that Miss Elizabeth can't feel the existence of Henry VIII at all.

And the helpless old king could only watch Elizabeth I create her glorious empire, and then in the last year of fear of death, he walked into the tomb of Westminster Abbey in the dark, watching The grave she prepared for herself.

It was a beautifully crafted double tomb.

Mary I, who died for many years, was buried on one side.

And on the tombstone of the double grave, there is such a sentence engraved.

"The union of the kingdom and the tomb, where we rest, sisters Elizabeth and Mary, waiting to be reborn."

Henry VIII watched the elderly Elizabeth I gently caressing the sarcophagus and tombstone of Mary I, and uttered a sentence that broke Henry VIII's heart.

"I will end the Tudor rule."

"It will also create a new era for England."
