I'm glad to see that Henry is acknowledging his mistakes while also ensuring his bastard daughter and his former mistress are well taken care of. Great chapter!
Grace Boleyn, Countess of Pembroke and Ormonde sound very goodWell, except that Grace will take the name of whoever she marries, which, if George gets his way, will be little Edmund Boleyn.... I'm not planning to cover Henry's waiting for Marie's labour to be over this time, actually. I think I've written the aftermath from George and Anne's perspective this time. You can guess the birth order when it's all over
Some of the bad stuff is happening off screen. For instance, a later chapter informs me that I seem to have piled all of Anne's bad luck in pregnancy IOTL on to Kathy Stafford ITTL. I can write a chapter on that if you wish?Bad things haven't happened in awhile. Perhaps Marie dies in birth and Henry can marry Honour if he has multiple spares?
Yes, he's learning. Slowly, but he's learning. Mary blowing up at him helped, I feel!I'm glad to see that Henry is acknowledging his mistakes while also ensuring his bastard daughter and his former mistress are well taken care of. Great chapter!
Yes, she is, isn't she? And now that that's all done, Henry (and we) can focus on Marie and the impending multiple birth...Nice moment. Maria is lovely and cheeky.
Awww, it's almost over?Right - to keep you updated, I've decided that rather that push myself too much and risk this dragging out, I shall cover up to the middle of 1525 in detail and then jump forward to 1530 for a few final chapters before we settle on a couple of epilogues - currently, I have one written on LIonel and one on Maria, which will definitely have a second part to it. I also owe you all a family tree, which I haven't forgotten about
Thanks! Well, I haven't ruled out a different choice yet, but that just seems to be the easiest way of doing things, for me. I have lots of stuff for 1524-1525, and quite a bit for early 1530-1531, but nothing in between. But I am flattered you like it so much!Awww, it's almost over?
Goodness...hope the pregnancy ends soon, for the sake of Marie and her attendants! Though hopefully not until those babies are ready.
That's not ominous. No, nope, no way, not at all.The door banged shut behind them with a thud of finality.
Yes, at least that... Marie will be free earlier than they thinks...The good thing about multiple births is they generally come early...
I thought the same thing...I don't want Henry and the children losing another wife/mother, not again.That's not ominous. No, nope, no way, not at all.
Only 1525? Henry and Marie have many more years left that that surely? We would not mind if you kept going until their funerals (after advanced old age of course) and then outlined the rest?
Please?
