[Henry VIII] Tudor Crown

Traditionally, the residence of the Duke of Suffolk is always the first stop on the King's Parade.

Since Henry VIII came to the throne, no matter who is lying in the king's bedchamber, who is next to him, and who is looking at him, the Duke of Suffolk is a person that the first three can't replace in their lifetime.However, time did not treat his incomparable royal favor preferentially, but also repelled the traces of aging on his body.

The Duke of Suffolk is five years older than Henry VIII. Even though the pampered life and young and beautiful wife make him look much younger than his peers, and even Henry VIII, the old wounds are still to a certain extent It sapped his vitality and energy.

When Henry VIII arrived at Westorpe House in Suffolk, the Duke of Suffolk and his fourth wife were waiting at the door.

"Your Majesty." The Duke of Suffolk saluted Henry VIII first, and then asked his two sons to meet the king.

Because the first three wives of the Duke of Suffolk did not leave a male heir, so when Catherine Willoughby gave birth to sons one after another, the Duke of Suffolk breathed a sigh of relief like Henry VIII back then.However, before he could breathe out, the Duke of Suffolk thought of a very heart-wrenching thing-before he married Catherine Willoughby, he had reached an agreement with Henry VIII at the mention of the Prince of Wales.

That is, the property and title of the Suffolk line will belong to him and his third wife's two daughters.

After the death of Eleanor Brandon, her share was automatically transferred to the Countess of Nottingham, who will be taken care of by the Prince of Wales until she comes of age.

For a man, if the property and title do not belong to his son, then all the efforts of the Duke of Suffolk are to make a wedding dress for others.

Just like the country conquered by the Catholic double kings all belonged to the Habsburg family.

"When will the Prince of Wales arrive?" Of course, Princess Juana will have a better room in the Westhorpe mansion, and even the Duke of Suffolk has acquiesced that the suite where the Prince of Wales once lived is where Princess Juana stayed. Land: "This is the place where he grew up. He should sell face to the Duke of Suffolk."

Regardless of the scumbags the Duke of Suffolk did to the aunt of the Prince of Wales, he did ensure the safety of William Tudor to a certain extent, and even his credit for England cannot be denied.

It is precisely because of this that William Tudor will let the Duke of Suffolk go to a certain extent.

But this obviously did not make the Duke of Suffolk and Catherine Willoughby feel at ease.

"His Royal Highness should arrive before the dinner, but I just saw that Baroness d'Eresby (the title of Catherine Willoughby) gave gifts to both Her Majesty the Queen and Miss Catherine Howard, probably because she wants to use her brains on the right of succession When Johanna was arranging Princess Juana's outfit, she once said: "The Marquess of Dorset and the Duke and Duchess of Suffolk have never said a word to the Duke and Duchess of Suffolk, and Mr. Thomas Cromwell and Mrs. Mr John Dudley also communicated privately with the Duke of Suffolk, and it is likely that the Duke of Suffolk hopes that they will have a lot of good words in front of His Majesty the King and the Prince of Wales."

"Hey! The Duke of Suffolk is at this age. If you don't do anything, the Marchioness of Dorset alone can torture your two stepbrothers and the Baroness d'Eresby to death." Juana The princess said disapprovingly: "Although my husband's cousin is a fool with a bad brain, she is quite interesting and has a good relationship with Princess Mary. If the Duke of Suffolk dies, as long as the Marchioness of Dorset does not bother her life." Well, William wouldn't mind what she did to the Baroness d'Eresby, more than a few words of warning."

After all, William Tudor was raised by his aunt since he was a child, and the Duke of Suffolk's attitude towards his daughters is comparable to that of Henry VIII in history, so Princess Juana will understand why William Tudor let Henry The VIII came to take custody of the two cousins, and then brought the Countess of Nottingham with her personally.

"You will ask the Baroness d'Eresby to come over later, and say that I am willing to help her intercede in front of the Prince of Wales." Princess Juana said suddenly: "If she is smart enough, she should rely on me, after all, Her Majesty the Queen She is a smart person and will never get involved in royal disputes. Even if the Duke of York or someone else takes the throne in the end, she is still the one who is given preferential treatment."

"Wait, why do you want to do this all of a sudden?" Johanna said nervously, "But if you come here, you will definitely tear yourself apart with the Marchioness of Dorset."

"But the problem is that the Duke of Suffolk has reached the point of dying. If we don't take a step back, they are likely to join forces with the Duke of Norfolk in a hurry." Princess Juana reminded: "Baron de Eresby Didn't the Lady send a present to Catherine Howard? God knows whether it was her intention or the Duke of Suffolk's intention."

"If that's what she meant, then the Duke of Norfolk has a way to instigate the Duke of Suffolk."

"And if the Duke of Suffolk means...

"Then we have to pay attention to the attitude of the other party to prevent me from being turned against one day." William Tudor who came in suddenly took over Princess Juana's words and signaled Johanna not to salute: "An old fox is an old fox, even if I Father asked about it casually, and the Duke of Suffolk could say it was his wife's act without authorization, and he didn't know about it at all."

"Looking at you, you probably have seen the Marchioness of Dorset, right!" Princess Juana guessed, "Didn't she scold you severely?"

"To be precise, she scolded both me and the Duke of Suffolk." William Tudor rubbed his temples, and said very tiredly: "The Duke of Suffolk is not a fool, so naturally he knows the truth about people taking tea cold, So I understand that it is not enough to persuade me, the Marquis of Dorset must give up everything herself."

"Oh! What did His Majesty say?" Princess Juana helped William Tudor onto the recliner so that he could have a better rest: "Neither you nor the Duke of Suffolk can make decisions, the key is It is His Majesty the King who promises all of this."

"Then do you think my father will agree?" William Tudor looked straight into Princess Juana's eyes and said very seriously: "You should think the same as I do."

"Of course." Princess Juana felt that she and William Tudor had a good understanding of the world: "His Majesty the King will never let the Duke of Suffolk succeed easily."

"But why?" Johanna asked at a loss, "Isn't the Duke of Suffolk the person he trusts the most?"

"The most trusted person does not mean the most beloved person." William Tudor wrote lightly: "The knighthood is a limited resource. If it is left to the son of the Duke of Suffolk, my illegitimate brother John Perrott will be a There is no title to take."

"My father asked John Perrot's stepfather to be the steward of Wales for me, and gave me to raise little Mary. Isn't it just so that John Perrot can get the right to inherit the throne?" William Tudor knew that Juana The princess also thought of this, so she said frankly: "Even if you can't get the right to inherit the throne, it's good to give a duke title."

"As long as the inheritance rights of the two younger sons are erased, and the Marquess of Dorset is directly deprived of the inheritance rights of the Duke and Duchess of Dorset on the grounds of the White Queen's lineage, then the title of Duke of Suffolk will belong to little Mary and her future husband." Princess Juana couldn't help but lamented that Henry VIII had worked so hard to pave the way for his son, and the chain was intertwined: "It must be for this reason that the Duke of Suffolk went around to follow you, and Dorset The Marchioness negotiates."

"Then how can I convince the Marchioness of Dorset." After driving for half a day, William Tudor, who was sprayed by the Marchioness of Dorset again, said very tiredly: "I can't be generous to others, I also don’t want the Duke of Suffolk to fall to the Norfolk line, so you can give me an idea.”

"I?"

"Men have men's solutions to many things, and women have women's strategies." William Tudor wanted to take a nap before the dinner, so he said vaguely: "As long as no title is involved, money and land are fine. something to discuss."

"The Duke of Suffolk will not do anything wrong, so as long as the Marquis of Dorset makes a statement, the rest will be the negotiation between the Duke of Suffolk and his father."

Princess Juana gazed at William Tudor's sleeping face, asked Johanna to cover him with a blanket, and ordered the servants to prepare William Tudor's banquet coat.

"Your Highness, do you still want to meet Baroness d'Eresby?" Johanna asked in a low voice.

"Of course." Princess Juana said with certainty: "Since he has entrusted me, I must help him find a way!"

"Instead of persuading the Marchioness of Dorset, it is better to start with the Baroness de Eresby."

"After all, when it comes time to step back, everyone must take a step back, no one should be an exception."

…………… I am the dividing line……………

The luxury of Weisthorpe Mansion is no less than that of the Duke of Norfolk's Arundale Castle. Many of the things in it are luxury goods brought back from the French palace by the former Duchess of Suffolk, so under the candlelight , everything is dazzling and unforgettable.

Even though Catherine Howard was used to the top luxury in Hampton Court Palace, such a private residence still made her unable to bear imagination.

"If only I had a mansion of my own." Catherine Howard stroked the tapestry on the wall, her face full of envy: "I don't have to depend on others, and I don't have to quarrel with roommates."

"A mansion that belongs only to me and cannot be taken away by anyone." Catherine Howard passed her slender fingers through the rough wool, not noticing that she was about to hit the decorative vase beside her.

"Miss."

Catherine Howard was awakened by a sudden male voice.

She looked sideways in a panic, and saw a young man with an unfamiliar face and luxurious clothes standing in front of her, beckoning her to look to her side.

It was only then that Catherine Howard noticed that she almost bumped into a decorative vase in the aisle, so she said in embarrassment, "Your Excellency, thank you for your reminder, otherwise I would really make a fool of myself in the Duke of Suffolk's mansion."

After all, Catherine Howard couldn't help but secretly looked at the boy in front of her, and found that the boy was about the same age as herself, with a handsome and dignified face, definitely not a child from an ordinary noble family.

"The banquet is about to start, ma'am, you'd better not delay in the aisle." The boy didn't want to communicate with Catherine Howard, but just reminded him politely, and left Catherine with his servant · Howard's sight.

But soon, they met again at the banquet.

And Catherine Howard also knew the boy's name and identity - William Tudor, the eldest son and heir of Henry VIII.
