The Court of Their Royal Highnesses Queen Marie and King Nicholas.

And who are you to order me around? Even if I was a Princess Dowager I would still possess more power and authority than you.

I am no peasant, but even if I were I would still have common deacancy to respect someones wishes in thier own household. A small trait of grace which thou seem to be devoid of.


And my wife know well my friendship with Elizabeth

I do not think your wife would approve of you siding with the concubine over me.

*haughty smile*

Katherine! 'Tis most glorious to see a fellow Catholic, and a true Queen. I would love to seize Elizabeth's throne from her, but it seems I shall have to wait until her death.

And please, you are in danger of alienating the King, please cease speaking to him so. He is a Catholic and he will fight for me. I wish for you two to get along.

Dearest Marie, *embraces*

Please expel that vile woman from your court, she causes me much distress.

You have no idea how much I wish too ... actually you're probably the only one who knows. I wish I could, but she is like the plague. She will just come back again.

You are the Queen of Scotland, what is stopping you banish a headless harlot? She brings shame on my family's holy name.

Marie how is my dearest today *smiles and gives her a look that says he is most please that she took up for him*

Yes, she does. May the Catholic Kings live long in Heaven. She brings even more shame to my name as her bastard spawn reigns upon my rightful inheritance. But she is most amusing. Her lack of class, royal blood and purpose for living make her most amusing. Also, because of her thick French hood, one may throw shoes at her with impunity!

Oh, Nicky 'tis okay. I shall always take up for you. And by now, thou hast been so ennobled that thine rank should prevent all but the surliest of harlots (Lady Anne) and the most perfect of Princess' (Katherine of Aragon) from speaking so poorly to you.

Be kind to Katherine, she is a good woman to have as an ally.

Princess? *jaw drops*

Marie.. ?

Of course, I am kind to evryone .... until they give me cause not to be *smiles*

*sighs heavily*

So the dowager prncess shows her true colors! Well it must be difficult Sir Nocholas to be wed to the mortal enemy of your best friend. You walk a fine rope my friend, let's hope that you do not fall.

I am tired of this now.

Anna, you hath taken my home, my husband, my daughter and my honor away from me.

I wish to speak with thee no more.

*a single tear falls*

Something wrong?

I wuld like very much to get along in a more civil manner than we began

Oh fab dowager princess of wales, when all else fails resort to tears. I hate puling, crying weak woman or men!

Indeed you are right, I realize that everyday more and more. I shall try to do right by them both.

(OOC: LOL your portrayal of Anne (even though it's correct) is making me sympathize with team Aragon so much and begin to hate team Boleyn *slaps head*)

(OOC: she has me in tears of laughter most of the time)

(OOC: Anyway, ehem)

*wipes tear away*

I do not cry.

I am Catherine, the people's Queen. I hath won the respect of my country and my king and no matter what poison you wish to feed into his ears Madam Boleyn you cannot deny that Henry loved me.

*Catherine turns on her heels amongst an entourage of Spanish maids while heralds play, "Long live Catherine, Queen of England!"*

Henry did not love you. He married you so he could prove to everyone he was an adult. He married you to defy the father who made him so miserable. And he married you because you reminded him of his dead mother Elizabeth of York. Love played no part in your marriage. (OOC Freud would have had a field day w/Henry VIII.)

(OOC: No. Henry and Catherine were deeply in love at first, sorry but they were..)

OOC I firmly believe that all the arguments I have put forth can be made as well. Henry was what 17? He needed to prove he was an adult capable of making his own decisions. Marrying Catherine was his first official act as KIng. After the death of Arthur Henry VII stifled him terribly. He was kept in a room next to Henry VII and never allowed to do anything fun. Henry VII has been reported to have told Henry VIII on his deathbed not to marry Catherine. The loss of his mother after Arthur's death hurt him terribly. Prior to Arhtur's death as a 2nd son he was quite a mama's buy. Catherine's maturity argues that she represented his lost mother. I really think their marriage was based on complicated emotions, but not love.

KATHERINE! I doth not mean it that way, I meant you were born a perfect Princess, hence his new titles doth not mean anything to one with such a perfect bloodline as thee! Please come back!
