[dandhisdolls]

But if, somehow, I had that choice

No holding back, I'd raise my voice

I'd say "Henry, yeah it's true

I'll never belong to you

'Cause I am not your toy, to enjoy 'til there's something new

As if I'm gonna give up my boy, my work, my dreams to care for you

Ha, darling, get a clue

There's nothing you can do

I don't need your love, no, no

No, I don't need you love, no, no

There's nothing left to discuss, no, no

'Cause I don't need your love, no, no"

A happier life for Henry VIII's children. Part: 1.

Mary was the first surviving child of King Henry VIII of England from his first marriage to the Spanish princess Catherine of Aragon. The princess knew that she was not her parents' only child - all of her siblings died shortly after birth. The birth of a living and healthy child was a great happiness for King Henry and Queen Catherine, even though the child was a girl. That is why she became the king's favorite daughter. When she was 12 years old, her father decided to divorce her mother. Catherine did not resist the king's decision for a long time, but accepted the inevitable and agreed to the divorce with favorable terms. For this, the king, as promised, retained for Mary the status of princess and allowed the former spouse to communicate with his daughter. After the divorce for Mary little changed, she continued to grow up in the love of her father and mother, often visited both parents. The princess did not like her father's second wife, but did not show it. Anne Boleyn did not meet Henry's expectations, so he sent her to a convent under strict supervision. The king also wanted to declare Princess Elizabeth illegitimate, but Mary stood up for her sister and convinced her father not to do so. Soon the king married Jane Seymour, and a year after the wedding she gave him a long-awaited son, whom the happy father named Edward. In honor of this joyous event, Henry organized a grand feast that lasted for a whole week. In the same year, Princess Mary married Prince Henry, heir to the French throne. Before meeting his future wife, the dauphin had a love affair with Diana de Poitiers, but when he first saw his betrothed, he fell madly in love with her. Henry immediately severed all ties with Diana and was faithful to his wife until his death. The marriage of Mary and Henry turned out to be very happy. They had five children:

Francis II of France(1538 - 1604). Nicknamed "The Peacemaker" for the foreign policy calm during his reign. During his reign, France did not wage a single war. Husband of Helena of Austria, they had a good relationship. In marriage 7 children were born: Mary, Louis XIII, Anne, Henry, Christina, Philip, Gaston.

Claude of France(1541 - 1600). Queen of Spain. In 1556 she became the wife of Philip II. The spouses loved each other despite the big difference in age. They had 5 children: Philip III, Isabella, Joanna, Ferdinand, Diego.

Henry of France(1541 - 1589). Duke of Orleans. Was a favorite son for his mother, as from a young age showed a keen interest in religion. And when he became older he decided to devote his life to the service of God. He was not married and had no children.

Catherine of France(1544 - 1615). Archduchess of Austria. Favorite sister of Francis II. Was the second wife of Ferdinand II of Austria. The spouses did not love each other, but respected each other. In marriage 3 daughters were born: Anne, Mary, Eleanor. After the death of her husband returned to her homeland.

Charles of France(1546 - 1620). Duke of Angoulême. Because of his dissolute lifestyle he had conflicts with his mother. He married his cousin Jane, daughter of King Edward VI of England. The married life of Charles and Jane was not happy, because of his constant cheating. The marriage produced 4 children: Gedeon, Charlotte, Michelle and Cesar.

While in France, she did not forget about her family and maintained a close correspondence not only with her parents, but also with her second stepmother, because of the warm and close relationship between them. Before leaving, Mary and Jane had great difficulty convincing the king to bring Elizabeth to the palace so that she would not feel lonely. Henry initially had no paternal feelings for his second daughter, but was later able to develop a warmth for the girl. In 1540, Dauphine learned that her mother had died. She could not come to her funeral, as she was pregnant with her second child, but due to severe stress she had a miscarriage. Because of these events, the princess fell into depression, she did not leave her chambers and hardly ate anything. Her husband was with her all this time and provided as much support as possible, but when he realized that he could not cope, he invited Jane to help. She couldn't stay away and convinced Henry to let her go to Mary. After a few months, Mary recovered and all three returned to England. The king greeted his wife, daughter and son-in-law warmly. And the princess was finally able to honor her mother. She also spent time with her brother and sister because she missed them during the 6 years of absence. When Mary returned to France, she was already pregnant with her third child, and nine months later she gave birth to twins. Five years passed.During this time, Mary and Henry became king and queen of France and had two more children. They successfully ruled the kingdom. Shortly before his death, Henry 8 appointed his eldest daughter as regent under his young son. The queen excelled in her duties as regent and pursued a mild policy toward her subjects. When she realized that Edward was already capable of ruling on his own, she placed the power in his hands and returned to France. In 1559, King Henry of France fell from his horse while hunting and died. Mary mourned the death of her beloved husband for a long time and wore mourning for him for the rest of her life. She warmly remembered the 22 happy years they gave to each other and loved to tell her grandchildren about it. Mary often came to visit her brother, and the two developed a warm relationship. The dowager queen of France died in 1580. She was buried next to her husband Henry II in the Abbey of Saint-Denis.

Random Thought-

I don’t get why some people argue over who Henry VIII “loved”

That man literally only loved himself. He treated all his wives horribly.

There is no “he loved Katherine of Aragon the most” or “he loved Jane Seymour” or “he loved Anne Boleyn” or etc.

And the argument where “Jane gave him a son” so he must love her more.

No no- he didn’t love any of them but himself. There’s literally no competition

This is the list oh Henry’s love

1- Henry

Green Groweth the Holly

Henry VIII

Green groweth the holly,

So doth the ivy.

Though winter blasts blow never so high,

Green groweth the holly.

As the holly groweth green

And never changeth hue,

So I am, ever hath been,

Unto my lady true.

As the holly groweth green

With ivy all alone

When flowers cannot be seen

And greenwood leaves be gone,

Now unto my lady

Promise to her I make,

From all other only

To her I me betake.

Adieu, mine own lady,

Adieu, my special

Who hath my heart truly

Be sure, and ever shall.

A #Tudor Gem in #Winchcombe A thousand-year-old building with a dead #queen inside I wonder what #KatherineParr, #HenryVIII’s sixth and surviving wife, would have made of what people get up to on the grounds of #SudeleyCastle nowadays. Her former abode is a favourite of dog-walkers, outdoor games enthusiasts, and Boxing Day, post-prandial, impromptu ramblers. My party belongs to the latter group. This is a far cry from what this Grade I-listed castle, situated close to the medieval market town of Winchcombe, in Gloucestershire, is famous for. A curious fact that I only found out about recently is that Sudeley is the only privately owned castle in England to have a queen buried within its grounds, the aforementioned Katherine. Another interesting piece of information, and one I will certainly check out when I’m next here, is that a cannonball-shaped hole remains on the side of Octagon Tower. A souvenir from the English Civil War. Don’t thank me, thank Ollie and his Ironsides. With a colder temperature than on previous days but still mild for this time of the year, we turn around and head back. Maybe a spring trip beckons, if only to pay a visit to the Queen’s Garden, where over seventy varieties of roses can be enjoyed. I’m sure Katherine won’t mind. #Cuban #Immigrant #Londoner https://www.austinmacauley.com/book/cuban-immigrant-and-londoner #walking #visitbritain #visitengland #visitGloucesteshire #photography #VSCO (at Sudeley Castle and Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmw2Fv5s2Ei/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

DEATH OF KING HENRY VIII

THE DEATH OF KING HENRY VIII

28 January 1547 (age 55 years)

King Charles I (d. 1649) was buried in the same vault as Henry VIII and Jane Seymour, he was buried on the left (image), Henry VIII’s tomb is in the middle and Seymour’s tomb is intact on the right. Henry VIII’s coffin was badly damaged and workers at the chapel thought that the coffin had exploded from within.

            King Henry VIII was obese at the end of his life; he was covered with painful pus boils which stunk. His problems started on 24 January 1536 when he had a jousting accident which resulted in a leg wound which was difficult to treat.

            Henry VIII died in 1547, aged 55 in the Palace of Whitehall. The tomb he wanted to be buried in wasn’t finished and he was buried in a vault at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, next to his third wife, Jane Seymour (who died in 1537).

            The tomb was opened once more during the reign of Queen Anne, to bury her infant in a tiny coffin on top of Charles I coffin.

            St George’s Chapel was completed during Henry VIII’s reign and he had planned on having a magnificent tomb but it was never completed, not even after his death. Instead he had a stone that marks the site of his burial. Henry VIII and Seymour were only supposed to be buried at St. George’s Chapel temporary whilst his tomb was to be constructed at Westminster. Each of Henry VIII’s three children intended to complete their father’s memorial but with no success.

            When Henry VIII died the size of his body was a problem for burial, it was estimated he was around 180kg. There was a rumor that his coffin burst open during his funeral rites due to his obesity and that fluid leaked out and dogs were found licking up Henry’s blood and fat.

            The actual tomb or monument that was being built for Henry VIII wasn’t used for him, apparently due to his overweight body. The tomb was originally carved for Cardinal Wolsey (d. 1530); and the sarcophagus and base was then taken to be used for Henry VIII. The said tomb is used for the remains of Admiral Lord Nelson (d. 1805) in the crypt of St Pauls Cathedral.
