Chapter 13

Late Summer- Christmas of 1543.

The year 1543 continued. Not long after my visit, I received news of my sister’s death. As this news was brought to me, I was sitting with Elizabeth, Jane, and Henry. It was indeed brought to me by my son, who was now hearing news before myself. It was late July and Elizabeth and I were enjoying hippocras while Lady Jane continued to devour her Greek studies. It was said that learned women could not have children, but I knew well that I was learned and fertile. Besides, Jane was going to be queen of England, and no king wants a stupid queen for a companion. So, I encouraged her in her studies but I also encouraged her to enjoy other things in life as well, such as music and courtly love. She seemed to be thriving at court.

“Mother. Aunt Mary is dead”.Edward said as he entered the room, with no knocking and no introduction. He needed none. He was the king.

“Ah. So it has happened then.” I said as Edward sat next to Jane. It was an unusual thing of them spending time together before marriage, but I made certain nothing improper occurred between them. Henry was betrothed to Jane’s sister, Catherine. It was known abroad that none of the princesses od Europe wished to marry my sons. Thus, nothing could be done. My mind, however, returned to the past of myself and Mary. Many years ago, I had envied her position as mistress of King Henry VIII.
