I love that, although we don’t have a lot of information about Jane’s relationship with her in-laws, the info we do have is basically all positive (her getting banished for helping Anne get rid of Henry’s mistress, her writing to Cromwell begging to see George while he’s imprisoned, and her openly mourning for George and Anne while in service to JS) and yet people (even professional historians) still try to insist that her relationship with the Boleyns was terrible and abusive

#like there’s interpreting evidence #and then there’s ignoring it all together #and the fact that the ONLY evidence for g & j’s supposed ‘bad’ relationship is because they never had any children #and i can’t believe in this day and age there are still people who think that no kids=bad marriage #jane boleyn #jane parker #jane rochford #george boleyn #anne boleyn

In the Source Link, you will find a complete gif pack of Sophie Boettge in Blood, Sex and Royalty. Sophie played the role of Jane Boleyn.

Jane Boleyn was born as Jane Parker, she was by birth, the second cousin of King Henry VIII and became the sister-in-law of Henry's second wife Anne Boleyn when Jane married Anne's only brother George Boleyn. She was known as Viscountess Rochford or Lady Rochford, she later became a lady-in-waiting to Jane Seymour, before the same position to Anne of Cleves. She testified that Anne had confided in her that she and Henry had not consummated their marriage, which allowed Henry to annul his marriage to Anne of Cleves and marry Catherine Howard. Jane maintained her position as lady-in-waiting to the new queen. Jane was arrested along with many people and the Queen after rumours about her past surfaced. Suffering from a nervous breakdown to months of mental abuse from the interrogations, she was legally pronounced insane and unfit for trial. However, Henry manipulated the law so that the legally insane may be executed for high treason, as such, Jane along with Queen Catherine were charged with high treason and sentenced to die on February 13th 1542. Jane appeared calm and serene before the end.

"while anne might not have kept elizabeth beside her on a pillow under the royal canopy as a baby" ?? sorry, im lost here.

oh, sorry, that was just me referencing something else that was in the spanish chronicle that we don't have exact contemporary corroboration for.

day and night she would not let this daughter of her out of her sight. whenever the queen came out in the royal palace where the canopy was, she had a cushion placed underneath for the child [....]

so...i mean, a few issues with that, primarily that elizabeth, as was typical of royal infants, did not reside in palaces with her parents but rather in her own establishments. which they did visit frequently, but surely not with the frequency that one could claim 'day and night [anne] did not let her out of her sight'.

however, the comment they were 'very particular in rearing her', suggests overly-doting parents, perhaps publically affectionate, and that much is corroborated by chapuys, at least in regards to henry "carrying her in his arms" several days in a row. i was just making the point that we don't have a contemporary corroborating such public affection between jane seymour & mary in the same way from the SC.

#ive talked about the spanish chroncile before; it gets too many things wrong -- not just 'well who can really NEVER be sure' things like #this-- but extremely basic facts that any even palace servant would know-- that anne of cleves was the fourth wife not the fifth. #that george boleyn was a duke. that katherine parr's brother was 'lord rochford #for me to believe it was by an actual tudor courtier #more likely a merchant with a connection to the tudor court #and also that there was enough distance from these events for a mix up #i believe it was written during the reign of edward vi #anon

JANE BOLEYN

JANE BOLEYN

Jane Boleyn, Viscountess Rochford

c.1505-1542

            Jane Boleyn was born in Norfolk into a wealthy political family. Jane was sent to the royal court as a teenager to join the household of Queen Catherine of Aragon, the wife of King Henry VIII of England. She accompanied the royal party to France in 1520 for the Field of Cloth of Gold.

            Jane was considered attractive but we have no known images of her. She was one of the lead actresses and dancers in the 1552 court masquerade which included Anne Boleyn and Mary Boleyn. In 1524, Jane married George Boleyn (Anne Boleyn’s brother) and became Lady Rochford. George was described as attractive, talented and promiscuous. He has been portrayed in modern times as homosexual, but there is no evidence to support this. King Henry VIII gave the couple Grimston Manor, Norfolk for a wedding gift.

            King Henry VIII fell in love with Anne Boleyn and the family had gained more influence and wealth which Jane also benefited from. Henry married Anne in 1533 and Jane and George were given Palace of Beaulieu as their chief residence which they decorated; they eventually sold it to the king who refurbished and expanded it.

            Anne Boleyn fell out of favour because she didn’t give Henry VIII his much desired son. Jane was married to George for eleven years when he was arrested in 1536 for treason after being accused of having sex with his sister the queen and he was imprisoned in the Tower of London. George was beheaded on Tower Hill in 1536 and Anne Boleyn was executed two days later. After her husband was executed, Jane was absent from court for several months but returned to attend to Henry VIII’s new wife, Jane Seymour. Boleyn lived in the palace and had her own servants.

            Jane Seymour died in 1537 and Henry VIII remarried Anne of Cleves for political reasons. In 1540, Anne of Cleves confided to Jane that she never had sex with the king and Jane learned that Anne of Cleves was naïve when it came to sexual intimacy. Henry VIII wasn’t attracted to Cleves and had his marriage with her annulled so he could marry her lady-in-waiting, the teenager, Catherine Howard.

            Boleyn became the lady-in-waiting to Catherine Howard, Howard wasn’t a virgin when she married the king and started a relationship with Henry VIII’s friend and courtier, Thomas Culpeper. Boleyn was implicated in the couples’ affair as she was helping them to meet up in secret. The affair was discovered and Howard was arrested and Jane was interrogated. Jane suffered a nervous breakdown and in 1542 was pronounced insane. In 1542, mentally ill people were considered too unfit to stand trial, and nobody knew whether Janes ‘fits of frenzy’ was genuine or it was just her attempt to escape prosecution. Henry VIII was determined to have her punished, and changed the law which allowed the insane to be executed. She was found guilty for her involvement and was condemened to death.

            Jane was executed on 13 February 1542, the same day as Catherine Howard. Howard was executed first, Jane was then escorted from her lodgings to the scaffold. On the scaffold she spoke and apologised for her many sins and then kneeled down. Boleyn was beheaded from a single blow of the axe. She was buried in the church of St Peter ad Vincula within the Tower of London, alongside the bodies of Catherine Howard, Anne Boleyn and George Boleyn.

            Over 300 years later in 1876, Queen Victoria had renovations done to the church and Jane Boleyn and the other victims’ bodies was rediscovered. The Queen had the bodies exhumed and placed in individual coffins and had a plaque with their names affixed to each coffin and were given a proper reburial underneath the alter.

As Reformation Day Approaches...

Many will wish to talk about Martin Luther. Which makes sense because he famously nailed the 95 theses to the church door at Wittenburg on October 31st.

But what better time to commemorate all of the OTHER important figures and reformers of the Protestant reformation? Of whom there were many.

Wikipedia lists 284 people burned in England under Queen Mary I, as she attempted to consolidate her power. Her new laws declared anyone teaching against Catholic doctrines to be guilty of heresy and subject to the death penalty. The Catholic church has never denounced these murders committed by its members on its behalf.

These laws affected famous and regular people alike. Over time I may make a series of posts with more detail about some of these persons.

Incomplete list of the protestant martyrs in England under the cut. Courtesy of Wikipedia.

Who even is Mark Smeaton? *runs*

omg anon are you sure you wanna ask this?

short answer: he's a bard from the 1530s who was in king henry viii's court and at the age of 24-ish confessed to committing adultery with queen anne boleyn, leading to his execution as well as the execution of anne and four other lords in her circle. but he most likely lied

long answer: mark smeaton (last name probably originally smet or smedt) was from flanders and later moved to england. he was a commoner, and the people in the royal court did not let him forget that. he originally worked under cardinal wolsey teaching choir boys, but was later transferred to king henry's court in the early 1530s when henry was doing his church of england thing. mark was quoted to be a "very handsome young man", "one of the prettiest monochord players", and "the deftest dancer in the land"

very little is actually known about him, except that he was getting paid very well by the king and queen. in less than two years his yearly salary nearly doubled (going from modern day £750 to £1250), and that doesn't even include the bonuses he received from them. to the point where he was able to afford expensive horses, clothes, liveries, etc. the horses alone were worth more than three times his yearly salary. he supposedly also had land and servants of his own. he was the court's sugar baby and some lords hated his attempt to social climb

we know he received a manuscript of two poems from viscount rochford. inside is inscribed "this book is mine, george boleyn 1526" and underneath "a moy, m. marc sn" which directly translates "to me" but basically "mine"

he was a favorite of anne boleyn and was probably in love with her. his downfall started when he was standing outside of anne's apartment window looking sad. anne asked him what was wrong and he replied that it was "no matter" she then chastised him for wanting her to speak to him as if he's a nobleman. he's a commoner and he should be glad she's speaking to him at all. he replied "no, no, madam. a look sufficeth, thus fare you well."

this conversation was reported to thomas cromwell (the king's secretary) who invited mark to his house for "entertainment" but it was a ruse. no one knows exactly what happened that night. most sources say he was tortured. but the next day mark confessed to sleeping with the queen along with four other men, all of whom were part of her circle. mark was the only one of the five men to confess and plead guilty.

he probably lied as the dates he gave didn't match up. the days he said he slept with the queen, she was somewhere else entirely.

he and the four men were executed in tower hill. despite being a commoner, he was beheaded (the nobleman's death) instead of hung and quartered. supposedly for his cooperation with cromwell and his crew. he was the last of the men to get beheaded and was described to have stumbled back when he saw the bloody scaffold and said "masters, I pray you all pray for me, for I have deserved the death"

he was buried in the tower of london in either where the building for the crown jewels are being displayed or behind the chapel royal of st peter ad vincula

I think he's the most fascinating person to have ever existed and is the definition of "I'm here for a good time not a long time"

🤩 George Boleyn! (Assuming he’s still alive…I’m not caught up 😂)

a WIP snippet about or with dialogue from ________ [name of a character]. If you don’t have one for that character, choose someone else!

oh, he's alive and being a menace...here, NT george boleyn preview:

"If you think it a punishment, you are on the wrong foot, sir. I am not against an English translation of the word of God. Within certain limits, of course," Mary continues, with an assured nod to herself, "But I am not against the principle, certainly." "Truly?" he asks, the word faltering. It is gratifying to witness him knocked off-balance, for once. "You do not know anything about me, Lord Rochford," Mary says, gripping the edges of the lectern, "not really. All you see me as is your enemy." "And you are not?"

"Of course I am," she admits, with a little smile, and a sly shrug, "but it is not all I am……it is merely all that you treat me as." He cannot deny this, and does not: although, he fails to tamp down the smirk leaping to this mouth, as the prospect of George being constrained into granting any of his other enemies an allowance and a feather-bed is a mental image of some humor. "And yet, I remember you from when you were a page," Mary continues, eyes brightening alongside the continuance of that same smile, forefinger scrolling down Corinthians, "for you were always kind to me, then." "Then you became a gentleman…and then, my enemy." "I was not your enemy. I will concede that I was your mother's. And still am, as long as she voices slander from her little…moat. But not when you were a child, and I do not accept any accusation therein." "Oh, come now, Lord Rochford… you know very well that to be hers was to be mine." "Then you concede that by the same dint, you are the Princess Elizabeth's?" Tells: a mouth-quiver, a pulsing jaw, the splash of a tear blotting ink:

"I cannot ever be anything else. Not without denying myself." Forced, by her eloquence, to face the truth he has always avoided at all costs (the consequence of his family's rise: how this woman of nineteen years, had to shift with the pain and shock of being shoved from a world of kindness and deference, to one of anything but), the Lord Rochford makes to leave his discomfort, behind, and his charge, to the Tyndale copy.

[anne-the-quene]

Do you ever just cry because you think about the emotional strain George and Jane must’ve felt not being able to have a child? How they both probably, quietly, blamed themselves, wracking their brains thinking what sin they must’ve committed to make God punish them like this? How Jane must’ve felt whenever one of her friends or female relatives got pregnant—wanting to be happy for them but also feeling envious and heartbroken at her own lack of children? Do you ever think about hat?

Because I do.

Rated: R

Pairing: Thomas Cromwell/Jane Rochford

Word Count: 2,695

Summary:

Five times Thomas Cromwell and Jane Rochford touch, and one time they go further than that. (The implied rape/non-con is from references Jane makes in the show about George's behavior towards her.)

In the Source Link, you will find a complete gif pack of Jhon Lumsden in Blood, Sex and Royalty. Jhon plays the role of George Boleyn, Viscount Rochford, the brother of Anne and Mary Boleyn.

George Boleyn was married to Lady Jane Boleyn, Viscountess Rochford, also known as Lady Rochford. George was said to have as many as his sister Anne's talents and all of her pride. He was executed along with many other men, after being found guilty of an incestuous affair with his sister Anne and plotting to kill the King. His original sentence was that he was to be hanged, drowned and quartered, which was later changed to beheading. He gave a long passionate speech before being beheaded on Tower Hill, on the 17th May 1536.

So Anne Boleyn didn't want her nephew Henry Carey at court cause he was supposedly disabled? Just like Gregory, Borman turned a good thing Anne did for her sister into a nasty thing? What evidence does she shows for Henry being disabled, or Anne not wanting him around? And for goodness' sake, isn't it strange that some historians and fiction writers seem to hate Anne (like Borman or Weir) but can't help to end up writing about her, because, let's face it, ANNE BOLEYN SELLS! They must feel so bad for always having to return return to this woman they are so eager to portray as the Worst Human Being Ever.

Literally none, and I'm not even joking. There's no citation, no additional information or details, she doesn't even name this nephew so I don't even know if it's Henry Carey to whom she's referring, or one of the Stafford children (whose existence/survival remains disputed), or even the later Elizabethan priest, George Boleyn, dean of Lichfield, who has been erroneously labeled as the son of Viscount Rochford, George Boleyn(illegitimate at times, by marriage other times), Julia Fox has argued for the likelihood he was some distant Boleyn cousin, and I'm inclined to agree. The claim is dropped into a paragraph about the perils of childbirth to contextualize Anne's own potential fears as if from the sky:

Worse still, Anne's closest female relations had suffered an unfortunate history in this respect. Her mother had lost several babies in infancy and her sister, Mary, had borne a son with mental disabilities whom Anne would not suffer to be at court. But in her favour was the fact that her health was generally considered good, and as one observer remarked, she seemed 'likely enough to bear children.' --Elizabeth's Women, Tracy Borman

So...yeah, if who she meant here was Henry Carey, I have no idea what she's talking about, A, and B, this is the sole* "factoid" she chose to mention about their relationship? Not that she had wardship of him, not that she arranged for him to receive his education from the scholar she patronized, Nicholas Bourbon, alongside Henry Norris (the younger), Henry Dudley, and the son of Nicholas Harvey, her 'strong partisan' and the husband of her great friend, Bridget Wingfield...all signs which point to Carey being in Anne's favour. I have no idea if he was ever at court, but if there's no record of him at court while Anne was queen, does it not seem more plausible to attribute this to A) how brief that time was and/or B) that his mother was banished from court due to the marriage she had made without royal permission?

I just don't...know, with Borman, really? It'd be interesting to have the unedited interview footage from BSR because I was surprised how overall sympathetic she was towards the subject, honestly. And I can't speak to the new book, I haven't read it, but the PR push for it has centered around praise of AB as an individual, as to her character.

For Weir, I mean, she received the deal to do that fictionalized serial on the six Queens of Henry VIII, of course AB had to be included. If I'm being perfectly honest, I feel like everything she has done since Lady in the Tower has had this weird self-animus pushing behind it, guilt over having further popularized a figure she hates so implacably. Her original view ("a total bitch...she alienated so many people that that must be true") has been evident in all her subsequent works and interviews; from claiming in one in 2017 that there exists a letter extant in AB's own handwriting where she orders Lady Shelton to beat her stepdaughter (there isn't), to depicting AB in her latest novel as having been so ugly and "painfully thin" naked that it was an instant boner-killer for her poorest little meow-meow.

*I believe other sections of this book are dedicated to the Careys so hopefully she expands later...I can't remember if she does. So far in my current read she has not mentioned the wardship and it was in 1528 and the book is now in 1533, so....

Sophie Boettge

In the Source Link, you will find a complete gif pack of Sophie Boettge in Blood, Sex and Royalty. Sophie played the role of Jane Boleyn.

Jane Boleyn was born as Jane Parker, she was by birth, the second cousin of King Henry VIII and became the sister-in-law of Henry’s second wife Anne Boleyn when Jane married Anne’s only brother George Boleyn. She was known as Viscountess Rochford or Lady Rochford, she later became a lady-in-waiting to Jane Seymour, before the same position to Anne of Cleves. She testified that Anne had confided in her that she and Henry had not consummated their marriage, which allowed Henry to annul his marriage to Anne of Cleves and marry Catherine Howard. Jane maintained her position as lady-in-waiting to the new queen. Jane was arrested along with many people and the Queen after rumours about her past surfaced. Suffering from a nervous breakdown to months of mental abuse from the interrogations, she was legally pronounced insane and unfit for trial. However, Henry manipulated the law so that the legally insane may be executed for high treason, as such, Jane along with Queen Catherine were charged with high treason and sentenced to die on February 13th 1542. Jane appeared calm and serene before the end.

@hertzwritings @littlefreya @henrycavillfan @thorinoakenshieldfan @thewhiteoneofrivia @marytudorbrandon

Lady Isabelle Harrington was the newest remember at Court and for some reason everyone liked her she was beautiful,witty wise and charming, lest this morning she did not show for breakfast. The Duke of Suffolk was concerned about her inwardly.

" your majesties"! He bowed to King Henry and Queen Anne whom he disliked and loathed with his fine being. The Duke was not man that displayed anger but with all his brash qualities he desired to have his love there this morning.

" Charles! Come sit here, tell me how is your lady isabelle"? Asked the King. To which Charles repiled " I do not know your majesty I have not seen her in days perhaps I should visit her see if she is well"! Charles smiled.

" Yes good idea Charles .... charles I'll send my personal physician along with you"! Henry smiled.

Lady Isabelle was not well, she was pale and collapsed to the floor in her nightgown her hair demolished and unkept.

Charles knocked there was no answer.

" Gaurds get this open now man"! The Duke ordered.

" Yes Your Grace"! They answred darkly and opened the door for the Duke to enter.

" Fetch the physician quickly"! The Duke ordered.

Lady Isabelle was lying on the floor the Duke bent to pick up in his arms and carry her his helpless darling sweetheart to bed.

Placing on the bed he stood there awaiting the physical examination to be over by the Kings physician.

" what is it? What's wrong with her"? Charles asked the physician.

" Forgive me your Grace! But it appears the young lady has been badly and viciously assaulted"! The physician quickly told him.

The lady Isabelle woke to find men in her bedchamber.

" W....what's going on? Why are you here"? Lady Isabelle asked.

" Oh My.... Lady Isabelle I found you lying on the floor the physician has just told me that you were viciously attacked and hurt"! Suddenly lady Isabelle screamed in agony as she tried to sit up.

" my Lady do not move I beg you"! Charles repiled.

" There were two men in my bedchamber last night they were both tall ish with dark hair I think the one George Boleyn the Queen's brother was behind it"! Isabelle told them.

" guards"! The Duke ordered.

" Yes your Grace have the King fetched here immediately understand on no account is the Queen to see Lady Isabelle I forbid it"! The duke ordered.

" Yes your Grace"! The two guards turned out of the door to go the King.

Anne's father Lord Rochford sat at the table with the King and his new Queen.

" Your Majesty! The Duke of Suffolk requests that you attend the lady Isabelle's chambers urgently"! The guard told the King.

" Indeed! Is the Duke of Suffolk with her now"? Henry asked him.

" Yes your majesty he is"! Answered the guard.

Henry raced toward the lady Isabelle's chambers to find the bedchamber littered with men.

" What are you all doing in here"? The King asked.

Charles's hand flew to the lady Isabelle's he sat beside her upon the bed, " there my love its alright I'm here"! Charles soothed her. She was so much in shock she could barely speak.

" Charles? What's happening? Asked Henry.

" The physician says that Isabelle has been viciously assaulted by two men under the orders of..... The Queens brother George boleyn "! The King looked at Isabelle back at Charles.

" She was raped wasn't she"? Henry asked.

" yes Your majesty she was ... s...she thinks one of them was George boleyn"! Charles told the King.

George boleyn? Isabelle thinks one of them was george boleyn"? The King asked.

Isabelle was frightened shaking and desperate for affection. The Duke begged your majesties leave.

" Arrest George boleyn"! The King shouted.

The Queen looked on in horror at her brother George " I'm innocent your majesty I did not harm Lady Harrington"!

Charles shot his head toward george boleyn " Remove him from sight Charles turned back toward the King " your majesty may I go to back to her"?

" Yes Charles you may! Stay with with her ....comfort her"! Henry encouraged him.

The Queen Anne couldn't believe it, " my brother is no rapist he never touched that ...... that strumpt"! Barked Anne.

When The Duke returned to Isabelle's chambers Edward was still there, " Your Grace! I shall leave you with her now ...... I bid you take care of her great care of her"! The Duke nodded silently.

Isabelle heard voices she turned her head " C....charles"! He saw her sweating he grabbed a cloth and dunked into the water wrung it out then wiped across her forehead. " Shhh! Sweet darling.... I'm here your Charles is here"! He gently repeated the action again.

Isabelle repeated his name Charles took her hand and took it to his lips tenderly rubbed it with his thumb.

" Isabelle! Hush rest .... you need it"! Charles persisted

Isabelle was pale and withdrawn she had been for sometime she loved Queen Jane dearly, of course she did, the Queen noticed how attentive Charles was towards her and suspected some attachment on his side, Isabelle wished to keep her virginity until she could have an honourable marriage.

Charles continued his day but returning to his beloved Isabelle in the evenings George boleyn Lord Rochford had imprisoned in the Tower for treason and rape. The King wouldn't stand for anyone who threatened to harm his cousin Lady Harrington.

Secretary Cromwell had just returned from the Tower when he was called into his majesties private chambers Charles went along just to hear what Lord Rochford George boleyn had to say upon the matter, Cromwell reported that " Lord Rochford George boleyn reportedly said he was innocent but we found him not so"! Anne stormed into the Chambers, " I've told you! That whore has got it wrong my brother is no criminal"! She barked. " Is that all he said .... that he was innocent of hurting hurting her to the point of bleeding heavily. Cromwell nodded " Yes Your Grace"!

Charles returned to Isabella thr minute after he found what George boleyn had to say upon the matter, it didn't matter anyway Henry was going punish him severely .... he was to be executed.

Isabelle lay back against the pillows tired, scared of everyone who entered the chamber, she jumped at the thought of a man entering.

" Be Calm my Lady! It's just his Grace The Duke of Suffolk"! The physician told her smiling. Thankfully it was not much worse had he gone any farther in this case then she would become with child. His wife Lady Rochford had visited Isabelle and told her that she was glad that her husband was getting what he deserved.

Charles took the chair taking her hand the physician left to afford the Duke some privacy with his love.

" Darling! It's me... Charles I'm back don't worry"! He soothed gently stroking her hair with his hand looking into her eyes, " thank god he did not go any farther I swear the King will have tortured if it turns out be so ... to protect you"! Charles told her gently guiding his finger down her nose then pressing his head against hers.

" When your better .... you're coming to live with me in Suffolk I will not have you harmed again Isabelle"! Charles told her gently inwardly seething at the Boleyn's. " I cannot! What about your wife Catherine? She'll be angry"! Isabelle tried to argue but was still too weak too. Charles propped her pillows, sat with her, read to her, cuddled her when she needed cuddling if Charles could bring back to health then he would ... aiding her recovery.

Over the next few days Isabelle was getting stronger Charles stayed with her in an adjacent apartment so that he could tend her . Isabelle was so scared that the Lady Anne the Queen though she knew now that she could not acknowledge her as her queen as she did the Princess Dowager.

Anne was still seething at the news, " YOU CANNOT LET THAT WHORE SOREAD HER LIES I KNOW GEORGE HES NO CRIMINAL"! Anne roared at the King.

The King was furious that Anne the Queen of England called his cousin " a whore". " STOP THIS! STOP THIS NOW ANNE MY COUSIN IS NO WHORE SHE IS A RESPONSIBLE AND RESPECTED YOUNG WOMAN .... GET OUT OTHERWISE YOU'LL BE YOUR PRECIOUS BROTHER IN THE TOWER"! Henry raged at his wife whom he had professed to love once but now he wasn't sure he knew he should've listened to Charles about the Queens life before became Queen.

Charles Brandon Duke of Suffolk was more thankful to God that God had not gone any farther than what it had already.

The Queen was sent back to her apartment where unbeknown to his majesty the Queen had been entertained by men within her privy chambers her ladies in waiting noticed it but thought nothing of it at the time.

Lady Isabelle was feeling as if she'd been cooped up enough by his majesty The King or his orders to keep her safe, she looks at Charles whose asleep beside the bed in the chair Isabelle knew that he hadn't slept in wanting to keep an eye on her. She moved out of the bed and padded to the open seat looking out of the window it was brightly sunny this morning and she sighed gently. Hearing the sigh Charles woke to find Isabelle mot in the bed but in the window seat still in her nightgown her hair deshelved and unruly, it was no matter to him smiling slightly he got up from the chair and walked over to the window seat where Isabelle was sitting " Isabelle my love! Is everything well"? Asked Charles tentively placing a warm hand on her cheek, Isabelle smiled and replys " yes I'm quite well I.... I was just wishing I could take a walk outside the Court though his majesty still sees fit to keep protected"! For Isabelle this was mundane and exiling she had become quite friends with the Lady Mary and she had written to her a few times Lady Mary hated Anne Bolyen and wanted her gone she also loathed the way that her father had treated her mother the princess Dowager Katherine. " My angel! The King wishes above all for you to be safe until George boleyn is completely gone from his world of course once hes gone I will speak with the King to have you loved to Suffolk .... with me"! Charles tells her.

" Just a few days more my sweetheart..... I promise you all ne well again"! Charles told her taking her hand in his. Isabelle looked at him " my father! Would be appalled at this"! Charles gave her a slight smile. " yes I daresay he would be"! Charles smiled.

Just then there was a knock on Isabelle's chamber door she jumped Charles kept her hand in his " My lady! .... The privy seal ua here Sir Thomas Cromwell"! Announced the guard.

Isabelle knew that Charles disliked Cromwell but for the sake of her he would civilly receive him.

" My lord! What is it"? Asks Charles.

" I have come with good news George boleyn is to be executed tomorrow without trail"! Cromwell announced.

Isabelle kept back a sob Cromwell turned and went to leave.

The door shut behind him and all Isabelle did was breakdown.

With Charles as her protector Issy (Isabelle) was safe now there was no way that Charles was going to let the Queen get to her now. " charles! What am I to do"? Issy asked innocently, " I'll tell you this I'll go and speak with the King about moving you sooner the Court isn't safe for you anymore not while that whore is still here"! Isabelle got ready to tell charles for naming the Queen a whore"! However she knew she couldn't be cause he was right and he'd been right about her all along Mark Smeaton the musician at Court had been tortured and executed and now it was George Boleyn's turn his wife Lady Rochford had visited Issy when Charles was in council with the King.

Sir Edward Seymour returned a day after to check on his good friend and his sisters loyal companion. " my lady! How are you"? Edward greeted cheerfully and cordially. " Wheres his Grace"? Edward asked. " Oh Edward you must not worry about me"! Isabelle told him smiling as she gently stood to greet him. " I am tour friend Isabelle and Jane's brother she'd hate it if she found out I was not doing my duty"! Edward replys with gracious smile.

" I'm sure once the traitor has gone we will see you once again enjoying Court life"! Edward smiled gallantly taking her hand to kiss. " I daresay ... how is The lovely duchess of Somerset"? Isabelle asked. " She is well I I Thankyou Isabelle now if you'll excuse i have some business to attend to for his majesty ..... i hope that I may call on you again sometime soon"! Edward smiled replying again taking her hand to kiss turning then leaving the room.

Shortly afterwards Charles returned " Isabelle my love! Charles starts, Isabelle turns as she smiles up at the Duke. " Yes your Grace what is it? Isabelle smiled as she neared him, " His majesty has given his consent for you to leave with me today to go Suffolk place"! Isabelle's fell to one of strain and concern " b...but what od your wife Catherine will she not pushed out"? Isabelle asked worriedly.

" My love! Look at me! I and Catherine are estranged she no longer loves me as you do"! Charles smiled kissing cheek then tentively stroking it with his thumb.

For Isabelle was this the start of something bigger then a simple love affair? Cliff hanger..........

The End
