Hans Holbein - part 4) Portrait of infant Prince Edward

[ASilvershade]

This poor boy died an agonising death - trapped between his fathers shadow and the manuverings of the privy council, I really feel for him.

yeah i defo think henry loved Annethe most i mean he soplit the church broke with the most powerful countries and risked war just for her he waited and fought hard for 7 years to make Anne his Queen and i think that if anne had not of had al the miscarriages and still borns and gave henry a son she would have been his wife and love until he would die xxxx True Anne Boleyn Fan

[12from12]

I think alot of these views reflect modern thinking rather than what was really going on.

I think jane was his true love,event hough i am a katherine of aragon fan

[TheMrGobble]

hes true love and only real love was anne boleyn. he loved jane for giving him the son, but before she was preggers he was tiring if her already.

his one love of his life was AB, there is no denying this, also katherine howard, whom in my opinion reminded him of anne. (my opinions)

[12from12]

I think it is hard for any of us to know but I think it is telling he was buried with jane. I have never seen any evidence which suggest he was tiring of her. I think he more or less hated Anne in the end who he suspected had used his feelings for her.  Ofcourse this is my opinion only and I have to admit I feel Anne's image has benefited from a more recent feminist view of history as much as Henrys has suffered.

[TheMrGobble]

Anne went because either cromwell did or she did. it was politics, what i get from it all is that henry maybe believed the evidence that was put before him by cromwell, and therefore was heartbroken. its a massive debate, way too much to talk on here, also my favourite tudor subject.. also because im an anne fan it does bias my opinion as much as i try not to let it.

[Luminasita]

It's been said that he didn't have a chance to tire of her. Having finally gained a son, he might not have.

Catherine of Aragon and her filthy bitch sow of a daughter were both Papist

Whores!

[Hippodameia]

Not really. "Whore" would imply that Catherine and Mary were loose women, which they were not. Mary was also neither a pig nor a dog; she was a human. And although she probably bathed once every few years, manners books at that time dictated that a woman of her status would have to keep her face, hands, and nails clean, and she would certainly have followed those rules of propriety. So really, the only plausible adjective that stands is "papist." Indeed, both Mary and Catherine were papists.

[peymaania]

Nice try with your pseudo logic!Nevertheless she promised her foul unwashed pussy to the pope in Rome,

and that's why Henry VIII had the good

sense to get rid of this stinking Spanish Slut!

[Hippodameia]

Do you have any evidence suggesting that Catherine promised her vagina to Pope Clement VII? I find it difficult to believe, as she was already promised to Henry (and not just her vagina, mind you). I'm sure her vagina was unwashed, as was every other woman's, but I'm not sure if it was foul. Henry abandoned Catherine because she apparently was unable to produce him a son, not because of her dirty vagina. She also did remain true to her marriage vows, refusing to relinquish them before death.

& the team Aragon Vs. Team Boleyn battle hits a new low, yeah! Please tell your a Seymour person! Team Boleyn does not need this.

[Catalina1485]

I will agree with you on that one
