[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

William Tudor's baptism was obviously not as grand as everyone thought, and even in some quite important places, traces of haste can be seen.

Because Henry VIII never imagined that Queen Catherine would actually have a healthy son, preparations for William Tudor's christening did not begin until after his birth, much to the dismay of his godmother, the Duchess of Suffolk He was dissatisfied, and even complained to Henry VIII in front of Anne Boleyn: "My dear brother, this is not a pomp that can match the Prince of Wales."

"My dear sister, please don't complain so much at this joyous moment." Henry VIII, who couldn't hold back his face, would never admit that his son's baptism was so shabby, and of course he didn't admit that everything in front of him was his. wrong.But in the face of the haggard Duchess of Suffolk and the reluctant Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII couldn't vent his dissatisfaction on the woman he was intimate with, so he had to give Noah Duke Falk gave a warning look.

"Believe me, the tournament held to celebrate the birth of the prince must be very grand." Henry VIII said for himself: "I have had people distribute free drinks in the streets and alleys of London, but it is a pity that Catherine cannot come in person William's christening."

"My God, Her Majesty has paid enough, what do you want from her?" Ever since Anne Boleyn entered the palace, the Duchess of Suffolk had never seen Henry VIII criticize Queen Catherine, so that Henry VIII complained privately to the Duke of Suffolk that Queen Catherine was the true blood relative of the Duchess of Suffolk.

Henry VIII, who was not in the mood to continue arguing with women, had to look at the little prince who was baptized.

William Tudor, who was embraced by Mrs. Bryan, inherited Queen Catherine's golden-brown hair, with a fair and delicate face, and was sleeping soundly in the warm embrace at the moment, like a holy son who was gently embraced by Mary, able to shield All the unpleasantness of the outside world.

By chance, Henry VIII lightly touched William Tudor's face.

The warmth from his fingertips made Henry VIII's face slightly calm, but the gemstone ring on his hand made William Tudor very uncomfortable, so that William Tudor broke out into earth-shattering cries.

Everyone was stunned by this mutation.

Mrs. Bryan coaxed William Tudor in a hurry, knelt to Henry VIII and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to take the little prince to step down now."

"Please, Mrs. Brian." Henry VIII made a gesture to open the way for Mrs. Brian, and the crowd attending the baptism immediately separated like a tide.

Anne Boleyn secretly looked at Henry VIII's face, only to find that he was not at all unhappy, but rather happy.

"He's a healthy boy, isn't he?" Henry VIII whispered beamingly to the Duchess of Suffolk, adding to Anne Boleyn's sense of crisis.

[The child had better die in Catherine's arms. 】

Anne Boleyn, trembling, gripped the fabric around her thighs, thinking viciously.

…………… I am the dividing line……………………

"My dear Majesty, are you joking?" Queen Catherine, who was lying on the bed, sat up with great difficulty, her pajamas were wet with cold sweat, and her lips were bloodless with anger: "You want to take William from me?" Snatch it from your side?"

"My God, I didn't mean to do something outrageous and unreasonable, such as taking the Son of Man." Henry VIII glanced at Queen Catherine, who was getting older due to the consumption of production, in disgust, and tried to make his voice as gentle as possible. Polite and indifferent: "Due to your physical condition and your responsibilities as a queen, William will be sent to Westhorpe Mansion in Suffolk, where my sister, his godmother, the Duke of Suffolk At the same time, Lady Bryan will be appointed as William's first maid to assist the Duchess of Suffolk in raising William."

"What about me?" Queen Catherine looked straight at Henry VIII fearlessly, with raging anger in her eyes: "After taking my son away, Your Majesty won't kick me out as a queen, will he?"

In fact, Henry VIII really had plans to drive Queen Catherine out.Just for the legitimacy of William Tudor's succession, he must temporarily put aside the idea of ​​marrying Anne Boleyn, let alone deprive Queen Catherine of her due power and status.

But that doesn't mean he's going to have to put up with a wife who's old and discordant.

Maybe he can have it both ways.

Send away Queen Catherine, who is out of sight and out of mind, and then keep Anne Boleyn by her side.

"I'm going to send you to Richmond Palace, because the weather there is more suitable for your recovery." Henry VIII knew that Queen Catherine was not easy to dismiss, so he was ready to negotiate with her before coming: "Actually, after William was born, I reconsidered the responsibilities of the Duke of Richmond, and felt that a seven-year-old child should not be allowed to take on this important responsibility."

Henry VIII noticed that Queen Catherine's face was slightly sluggish, so he struck while the iron was hot: "Henry Fitzroy will resign as Duke of Richmond and Duke of Somerset, and then be sent to Sherriff Hatton Castle in Yorkshire. , so that he can better fulfill his duties as the defender of Northern England and the Earl of Nottingham."

"In addition, I plan to canonize William as the Duke of Cornwall, and then give him an annual salary of [-] pounds a year, and give him part of the land in Richmond." Henry VIII felt that after paying so much, Queen Catherine should also Take a step back.

It's a pity that Queen Catherine didn't think so: "William is just the Duke of Cornwall? God, you rewarded your illegitimate son much more than you gave my son?"

"That's because you didn't give me a son sooner, my dear lady." Henry VIII said at one point: "If William could have been born ten years earlier, then everything that Henry Fitzroy has would be in vain. is his."

After all, Henry VIII thumped Queen Catherine's bedpost hard, causing her to feel palpitations.

"Catherine, you'd better bless William to grow up safely, and bless him not to return to the embrace of God after only 52 days of life like your first son." Henry VIII said to his father before leaving. The queen warned: "Because God will not give you a second chance to reconcile with me, let alone let the crown of England continue to be buckled on your head."

"When William passed the age of premature death, I will make him Prince of Wales, Duke of Richmond...all the honors you expect will be added to him." The moment Henry VIII stepped out of the room, Henry VIII only Feeling that all the irritability has been relieved, even the tone is a bit softer: "Before you really recover, I will let Mary move in with you, and you can also communicate with William regularly, or go to Suffolk County to visit him."

"Then can I make one more request?" Queen Catherine licked her bitter lips, a part of her heart had already died: "Considering my physical condition, I ask you to allow me to call back the Spanish maid who was expelled by you, and give her a hand in After Christmas, leave for Richmond Palace."

"If such an arrangement allows you to recuperate in peace, then I grant your request."

The departed figure of Henry VIII was reflected in Queen Catherine's eyes, making her no longer think about the time at the end of the aisle.

That happy time only belonged to Catherine and Henry.

The author has something to say:

I don't want to use Prince William to address the male protagonist, because I always feel that... so weird.
