Gelato Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) On this day in 1547, the infamous King Henry VIII died. I will roleplay as his sixth and final wife, Catherine Parr: Chelsea Manor, London My dear journal, The news has reached my chambers, heavy with sorrow and uncertainty. It is the 28th of January in the year of our Lord 1547, and word has been whispered through the halls of the palace that my lord and husband, King Henry VIII, has departed this mortal coil. I find myself enveloped in a tapestry of emotions Though our marriage was more a matter of political alliance and mutual respect than passionate love, the death of the King leaves a great void, not just in the heart of the kingdom but in the very fabric of English politics and society. Henry, a monarch of immense power and influence, a ruler who reshaped the Church and the state, leaves behind a realm in a state of flux As a queen who has navigated the turbulent waters of Henry's court, surviving where others tragically fell, I am now faced with the daunting task of securing my own future and position. I must consider the welfare of the Princess Elizabeth, whom I have come to love and cherish as my own. Her education and well-being remain of utmost importance to me. The young Prince Edward, now Edward VI, ascends to the throne, but he is but a child, and the realm will be governed by a council until he comes of age. The politics of the court will be a delicate dance of power and ambition, and I must tread carefully to ensure my safety and influence. While I grieve for the King, I must also be pragmatic. My own religious leanings, more reformist than the late King's, might now have a chance to flourish, or they might put me in peril if I am not cautious. The future is uncertain, and the path ahead fraught with challenges I must now retire to my chambers to mourn, to reflect, and to plan. The world I knew with Henry at its helm is gone, and a new era beckons – one that I must navigate with wisdom and courage. For now, I shall pray for the soul of my departed husband and for the guidance to face the trials that await. I command myself to God's grace and prepare for another day.

Gelato Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 Edited to correct an inaccuracy - I originally put the location as Sudeley Castle in Gloucestershire but on second thought it's much more likely Catherine would've been at Chelsea Manor in London at the time of his death.

illia Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 King Henry, a monarch of unmatch'd vig'r and resolveth, did guide our realm through times of most wondrous upheaval and changeth. His passing signifies not only the loss of a king but the endeth of an epoch yond shall f'rev'r beest etch'd in the annals of our hist'ry. I cannot holp but recall the king's grandeur, his boldness in establishing the church of england, and the many strides our nation madeth und'r his ruleth. Though his reigneth wast did mark by tumult and strife, t wast eke a p'riod of undeniable growth and transf'rmation. In this timeth of mourning, i findeth myself reflecting on the impact that gent hadst on our liveth and our state. The king's decisions did shape our nation in ways yond shall resonate f'r gen'rations to cometh. T is a legacy yond, despite the controv'rsies, shall remaineth a significant parteth of our h'ritage. As we visage this p'riod of unc'rtainty and transition, i taketh comf'rt in knowing yond we art unit'd in our grief and desire f'r the future. May we findeth strength in each oth'r and in the mem'ries of king henry's f'rmidable presence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gelato Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 (edited) Now I will roleplay as his second wife, Anne Boleyn: Ye Olde Honest Vocal Coach: *rubs crystals* [...] Ye Olde Honest Vocal Coach: I am getting a reading *Ye Olde Honest Vocal Coach goes into a trance and begins channelling the late queen* Ah, Henry, thou art gone, and here I wander, headless Anne, through these ethereal halls. Once queen, now but a specter, I feel neither joy nor sorrow at thy demise. Our fiery love and bitter end echo in the silent whispers of history. May our daughter, Elizabeth, eventually reign with wisdom, free from our shadow. Farewell, my once king. In death, may we find the peace that life so cruelly denied us.

Makibro Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) A maids shakesperian soliloquoy from 1547: "Pretty much I would let Henry know that he is a fat c*nt and, um the shoes that he gave me were not something that I would particularly buy for myself. They were old maiden type of shoes, and he said that those shoes were meant to be worn on a beautiful man So if that is the case he should have put them back on the rack and he should never even purchased them because he was UNQUALIFIED to own those shoes if that's the case" Edited January 28 by Makibro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Show Business Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 He's DEAD!!! FINALLY this misogynist is gone. Instead of naming his daughter his heir... He had to murder his wives to remarry just so he could have Edward. Edward was at least raised by Queen Dowager Catherine, right? Hopefully he's been influenced by her... A strong woman not afraid to state her views. Hopefully the new King has learned and will not repeat the misdeeds of his father... And though I feel awful for Princess Mary, hopefully she never touches the throne... I wouldn't underestimate her hatred of Protestants after everything she's been through... Poor Princess Elizabeth... She would be a marvelous Queen, but I don't see it happening for her. Too many obstacles for her going forward. Long live the new King 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptus Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) I just had a vision. It was the far far future. There was a Queen. A global, shapeshifting Queen. More powerful than any king before her. When she spoke her voice sounded sweet, just like a prayer. She spoke to me with words that I can't yet comprehend, so I wrote them down: Dont you stand there let's get to it Strike a pose, there's nothing to it VOGUE! Don't know the meaning yet, but something big is comming, I feel it, love's coming down like...Rain Edited January 28 by Raptus 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
