‘Too often, the six queens are seen only in their relationship to a forceful, mercurial king. Katharine of Aragon is the old battle-axe; Anne Bloeyn, the seductress. Jane Seymour is the good wife; Anna of Cleves, the ugly frump. Catherine Howard is the giddy bubblehead; Kateryn Parr, the stoical matron. But the women had lives of their own. They had dreams and hopes. Ideas Opinions. Ambitions. They were fighters. Thinkers. Politicians. Strategists. They led troops into battle and hunted on horseback. They read, danced, intrigued, and sewed. They had children they loved. Pets they adored. They gave money to the poor and supported artists and scholars. They ate peacocks and swans, wore pearls in their hair and diamonds on their sleeves. They defied expectations—Henry’s, and our own.’ – Fatal Throne: The Wives of Henry VIII Tell All

Why is it that in every single SIX fanfic I'm writing, I always end up making Anne suffer the most out of everyone- it's always either Anne, or Katheryn..and sometimes Seymour, just not as often...Idk, its just a weird trend I noticed in my writing, lol

Was Anne of Cleves the luckiest?

Henry VIII's fourth wife, sometimes referred to as 'The Flanders Mare' is often forgotten about in comparison to the controversial Anne Boleyn and the ‘salacious’ Katherine Howard. But was she the luckiest of the six wives?

She survived with her head and her dignity attached!

Was provided with three lavish manors to live a life of luxury

Was not forced to remarry

With the title of the King's 'good sister' and a substantial income from the crown she was able to relax, and live an extremely comfortable, independent life

All of this meant she answered to no man directly, and as a Tudor woman this is no small feat

All of Henry VIII:s queens were royally fucked over, but we as a society owe Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard especially an apology.

Neither of them were wicked sluts. Anne was not a scheming demoness and Catherine was not an airheaded bimbo.

Anne was smart enough to keep the king at a distance to get on level footing with him, refusing to be his mistress as she saw how being the king’s plaything affected her sister Mary.

Catherine was a teenage woman who had been sexually abused by several men from childhood, and assumed sex and love were interchangeable measures of affection.

Henry used them both, and Henry killed them both.

Anne and Catherine may not have been God’s greatest children, or even close to it, but they were victims.

Neither deserved to be beheaded for sins that were not even of their own making.

January 5th: Pope Clement VII Says No

Henry the VIII should be a name that most recognize, thanks to him being the reason that England split from the church and him having six wives. (Thank you Broadway musical SIX for being entertaining as well as a good look into history in a fun way.) But what event caused the split, or is at least attributed by many to cause the split? Well, Pope Clement VII specifically forbidding Henry from divorcing his first wife, Catherine of Aragon.

From an American stand point, Henry is played out to be a horrible man who is more worried about getting an heir to the throne, and blaming his wives for not helping him with that, thus going out and trying to find a woman who will give birth to a “legitimate” heir. I’m going to say this first, I still don’t think he’s a good guy….he just doesn’t seem to be as terrible as the American education system plays him out to be based on the research I’ve done for this episode. I could be totally wrong though.

Anyway, the basic story goes that Henry was concerned by his failure to produce a legitimate heir, and wanted to find a way to end his marriage in a manner consistent with his faith. Doing so was extremely important for political reasons as if he had violated Catholic doctrine, he risked disgrace and condemnation by the pope. It’s actually been recorded that Henry was a fairly devout Catholic; he had believed his marriage was against the biblical injunction forbidding marriage with a brothers widow.

That didn’t exactly go as planned; Clement said no in a letter on January 5th, 1531. Though Clement most likely would have done so if it weren’t for the fact that Clement was scared of Charles V, current Holy Roman Emperor. How does Charles play into this? Well….Catherine was his aunt, and Charles had strong feelings of familial honor and barred any concession to Henry’s Wishes. Due to Charles role into the issue, and with Clement being former literal prisoner in 1527-28 of Charles, he never dared resist him in any form after.

Henry’s attempt to break his marriage legally were pretty much doomed from the start unfortunately. Which, as we all know, did not exactly stop him from continuing on. Though he did not want to due to the fact he knew it would lead to excommunication, and meaning supporting Martin Luther who he despised, he decided to send Catherine off and marry Anne Boleyn.

Though he was separated from the Catholic Church and the Church of England now took it’s place, Henry prided himself on his learnings and gave much time and thought into the new religious structure. With the exception of a pope in the system, he didn’t give up on many of the main tenets of which he grew up with.

February 28, 2024:

*chef's kiss* This author does original fairy tales so well. Like her more recent novel, Nettle and Bone, it has recognizable fairytale elements while also not being too close to any particular one. If I had to say, this story has the bones of Bluebeard (except the wives aren't dead!), but it also has nightly trials like Vasilissa The Beautiful, but also has an adorable animal sidekick like... well, everything. It's got camaraderie between women, sorcery based on contracts, vanishing roads, horrific misuse of magic, and a 7-foot woman who lives in a clock. Good heavens, how could I ask for more?

8.5/10 #WhatsKenyaReading

My 12yo niece got tickets to Six for Christmas.

8yo niece: what's it about?

Sister: the six wives of Henry VIII.

8yo: EEWWW!!

Me: He wasn't married to all of them at the same time.

Sister: Back in those days, marriage was viewed differently, especially for kings.

8yo: oh. That's still gross.
