[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

"Your Highness, Miss Elizabeth is here." After the Christmas banquet at Hampton Court Palace, Henry VIII happily took his wife to hunt, but left his two children in the palace to prevent them from encountering accidents on the hunting ground. .

It was precisely because Henry VIII was not at home that Princess Mary dared to invite her half-sister to her room for afternoon tea.

Since the death of Anne Boleyn, life has been very difficult for Miss Elizabeth, who was relegated to the status of illegitimate daughter.Because Henry VIII did not provide Miss Elizabeth with a generous annuity and a better residence like he did to the Welsh siblings, and the Boleyn family's inheritance was divided up by the Duke of Norfolk and the Viscountess of Rocheford. The remaining little bit was also left to Mary Boleyn, the eldest daughter of the Boleyns, so Miss Elizabeth's governess Ashley had to write to the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Henry VIII, begging them, for God's sake, to give This little girl who is so poor that she wears a year old clothes has a little financial support.

Thomas Cromwell did not dare to improve Miss Elizabeth's treatment because of Anne Boleyn, and Henry VIII did not express anything after reading Ashley's petition letter, but Queen Jane Seymour gave Miss Elizabeth sent some jewelry and money, and by the way, people expressed their regards to Miss Elizabeth.

Through this incident, Ashley also gained a deeper understanding of Miss Elizabeth's court status, so during the past few days at Hampton Court Palace, she tried her best not to let Miss Elizabeth appear in front of everyone, to prevent those who were accused by Anne Boleyn The offended people remembered something, and then poured their anger on the little girl.

Princess Mary was one of the visitors Miss Elizabeth couldn't refuse at Hampton Court Palace.

Ashley hopes that Princess Mary can use her influence to help Miss Elizabeth gain a firm foothold in the palace, even if their late mother is a sworn enemy, but Ashley would rather be at the mercy of the Welsh siblings than the trembling new queen. Take a gamble.

At least William Tudor was willing to support his illegitimate brother's only daughter, so Ashley could only hope that Frances Brandon hadn't lied to her about the Welsh sibling's attitude.Taking a step back, even if the soon-to-be-married Princess Mary has no time to do something for Miss Elizabeth, as long as the Welsh siblings make a statement, Miss Elizabeth will not be like duckweed, "wandering around" in Whitehall Palace.

"Your Highness." Miss Elizabeth saluted under Ashley's instructions. Although she was only four years old, the king's children were always precocious, so Miss Elizabeth was as steady as an adult woman with a child's face.

Princess Mary noticed that Miss Elizabeth's clothes didn't fit well, and the jewelry was also of an old style, and even the corners were faintly black: "Didn't you make suitable clothes for Liz?"

Faced with Princess Mary's questioning, Ashley could only smile wryly and said, "Children look different every day, so make the clothes bigger so that they can be worn next year."

"How can this be done?" Princess Mary just wanted to refute, but seeing Ashley's haggard face and a dress that was older than Miss Elizabeth, she couldn't speak her mind, so she had to ask someone to give it to Ashley and the others. Wrapped some new cloth, and then asked Miss Elizabeth, if she needs anything, you can write to her.

"Thank you, Princess Mary." When Miss Elizabeth and Ashley left, they happened to meet William Tudor looking for Princess Mary.

After not seeing each other for several months, William Tudor found that Miss Elizabeth looked more like Anne Boleyn, only the golden-red hair and pale skin could show the blood of the Tudor family.

Facing the Prince of Wales, Ashley subconsciously stood in front of Miss Elizabeth, but William Tudor just nodded at them and did not talk to him.

"Aren't you going to see Sir John Dudley? Why did you come back so soon?" Princess Mary was a little surprised.

"The queen's brother took my seat." William Tudor took a bite of an apple, which was his afternoon tea habit: "Edward Seymour wanted a piece of the fight against pirates, so he set his sights on John Sir Dudley."

As the saying goes, persimmons look for soft ones.

Edward Seymour, who was on the rise, was not arrogant enough to negotiate terms with the Duke of Suffolk, and William Parr was the entourage of the Prince of Wales, so Edward Seymour could only set his sights on John Dudley's body.

At least this one was ostensibly recommended to Henry VIII by the royalist Thomas Cromwell, and John Dudley had suppressed the Hertfordshire uprising.

So Edward Seymour, the current Earl of Hertford, wanted to make friends with John Dudley, so that William Tudor couldn't say anything.

Even Princess Mary couldn't help complaining about Edward Seymour's stupidity after hearing this: "Is he really here to chat and not to make enemies?"

John Dudley, who was tricked by his father, has been working hard in the local area for so long. He is loyal to Henry VIII and suppresses the rebellion. His appearance of "I am sincere to Henry VIII" has not changed. Come Henry VIII's good looks or a small title.

Instead, he watched the little-known little aristocrat a few years ago relying on nepotism all the way to the top, and even wanted to show off his might in front of him.

Isn't this blocking?So what is Tim Blocking?

Although John Dudley avoided talking about the fact that his father was beheaded by Henry VIII, in his private heart, he was still very proud that his father was a close minister of Henry VII.In addition, his matriarchal line is also very rich and noble, far from being comparable to the upstart Seymour's family.

So John Dudley wanted to slap Edward Seymour when he put on the air of being a gentleman.

It's not as good as the Duke of Suffolk, he recognized it. After all, people are close and distant, and the Duke of Suffolk is Henry VIII's brother-in-law after all, and he can barely be regarded as a royal relative.

He is not as good as Thomas Cromwell. After all, except for problems, Thomas Cromwell's methods in government affairs are not black, and even John Dudley cannot guarantee that he will sit in Thomas Cromwell. Cromwell can do better than the other in his position

But what the hell is Edward Seymour?

The Duke of Suffolk accompanied Henry VIII on several battlefields and married the princess before he was named Duke when he was nearly 40 years old.

Thomas Cromwell presided over the religious reform for Henry VIII and took so many scapegoats before he was awarded the earl for the marriage of Princess Mary.

Isn't it just a good sister?

In terms of rewards for meritorious deeds, this uncle of the country has only fought against pirates once, and he was with the Duke of Suffolk, so everyone can see who contributed.

As for the others... don't talk about it, the more you talk, the more angry you get.

"If virtue does not match, there will be disaster." William Tudor put a white queen on the table, and then put a black king behind the white queen.

Princess Mary watched William Tudor gently push the Queen White, not understanding what he was going to do.

"When you marry to the Principality of Lorraine, it's time for Edward Seymour to 'get a hand'."

Isn’t the Edward Seymour in history just like Thomas Cromwell, who didn’t have a feud in front of him, so the whole family would finish the game so quickly?

Whether it was the former ally Bishop Gardner or John Dudley, or his nephew of the king.

Isn't there a day when you can't stand him?
