1535 part 2
In return for their cooperation, Lady Mary and her mother are given their own estate in Hudson. For the next few years, the ladies would spend their days away from court, fading in the background as England moved on without them. However, they would soon find they were still in the thick of it.
As he awaits his dukedom (any day now), Thomas Boleyn is happy to be presented with his grandson---although he is a bit annoyed when George announces the name: Mark Boleyn.
Just when everyone is certain that Anne cannot fall, she and the King get into a dreadful argument. Anne was not pleased about Cromwell's dealings with the monasteries, believing that he is using the reformation for momentary gain. Henry, who is quite happy with the amount of money from the church lands that are now in his coffers, scolds her for speaking so rudely to his advisors, telling it is not her place to comment on the conduct of his councilors. The argument only worsens when Anne protests quite loudly to Cromwell's suggestion of the newborn Princess Joanna as a potential bride for Prince Ambrose, beliving a French princess or a Danish Princess, or a Swedish Princess or a German Princess---basically anyone, but a Hapsburg Princess---would have been a better choice.
The argument ends with Anne deciding to make an impromptu visit at Hatfield alone to see her children. When she returns, her relations with the king are still strained. Learning she is pregnant for the fourth time does nothing to repair the couple's relationship. This becomes reddily appearent when King Henry decides that Anne needs a new lady and oh look at that, John Seymour has a blonde haired daughter who would fit the bill just perfectly.
