Prologue
Anne, Queen of England was dead, together with her stillborn child, a boy who would be Henry’s long waited heir and the King was furious, specially as the doctors had no explanation for what happened as Anne’s pregnancy had gone smooth enough until the day before the tragedy. Some suggested who maybe Her Majesty’s pregnancy had been too close to the previous one and so her body had not yet fully recovered from the birth of their first child, and others do not dared to speak of the possibility who the Queen had been poisoned by supporters of the Dowager Princess of Wales and her daughter.
The King was grieving for the loss of his most beloved wife and of his heir, who left him with only an infant daughter, Princess Elizabeth, still a month away from her first birthday. Anne had died at only 27 years old, so the King had all the reasons for grieving for his wife, their son, and the future and the children who they could have together if a cruel fate had not taken Anne away from him.
Henry VIII knew very well who many, starting with his former wife and her damned nephew, had never accepted his wedding to Anne and and believed Catherine to be his only true wife, and now who Anne and their son were dead, they expected him to return to his brother’s widow, but he had no intention to do it. His Anne was lost forever, but she had gifted him freedom from Catherine’s lies and the oppression of the Pope, showing to him the right road to take for give to England the heir who he and the country needed desperately.
