Basically, Henry VIII dies in 1536 from the jousting accident and Anne Boleyn gives birth to a son in July, who is named Henry.
1536: The great and ambitious King Henry VIII of England dies in an unfortunate jousting accident, causing much panic and fear across the realm. Queen Anne Boleyn immediately rushes to London and sends for her daughter. In the meantime, she orders that Lady Mary Tudor must not be told. She, with the agreement of the privy counsel, in made co-regent with the Duke of Norfolk while her father and brother are given seats on the regency council.
In July the Queen goes into labour and gives birth to the hearty Henry Tudor, born Henry IX of England. He is christened and crowned as soon as possible, with Francis I of France as a godfather and Margaret Tudor: Queen Dowager of Scotland as godmother. His coronation is a short affair compared to most, partially due to lack of funds and also his extreme youth.
As the year progresses and it becomes obvious that certain areas of England see Lady Mary Tudor as the true queen, Queen Anne has the Lady brought to court. When she arrives there, being brought be force, she is given two options. Recognize Anne as Queen-Dowager/Queen-Mother and then be created a duchess in her own right, or be trialed for treason.
When she is later taken to her rooms to await the trail, the Lady Mary Tudor remarks to a man: "It is an awful thing for a Queen to be beheaded, isn't it?"
Charles V hears of his cousins treatment and demands that she, as rightful Queen of England, be released and that Anne Boleyn face a court at Rome to atone for her many sins. He receives word that he has been ignored.
On the 17th of September, after living in a comfortable prison cell for many weeks, Lady Mary Tudor is tried for treason to the King, her brother. She stays on the track that she is the rightful monarch, which is seen as more treason. She is sent back to her rooms.
The year ends with Anne Boleyn showing the English people their King, who is seen as a spritely little red haired angel. His mother is seen as 'The Noble Witch' for her ability to give the realm a son while also being reviled as a whore.
