Mary Tudor was many things a queen, a woman and a killer but before she became any of these she was a little girl whose heart got Brocken again and again by her father and those around him until she became known as bloody Mary. However what is this is wrong what if the history books got it wrong what if things did not go as planned and Mary's fate was irreversibly changed forever.
We shall go back to Mary's childhood and from there we will be able to see what truly happened to the so called bloody queen and those around her in the Tudor court.
We know that Mary was reported to be sick from the time of 1531 and it is also around this time that her father marries Anne Boylan and this is where this story takes a different turn, during this time Catherin or Aragorn was tired of fighting and knew that her daughter was miserable, she knew that Mary would be queen and as long as Mary was seen as legitimate she would inherited before any of Anne's children, so she decided to make an offer to the king just before his wedding to Anne that would change history forever.
To my dear husband
I can now see that you are no longer the man that I marred, you have been so cruel to me and to Mary who is your only legitimate daughter, so I shall make you this deal and I shall put aside my need for those of my daughter as a parents should do, I will choose to retire to a nunnery so that you will be free to take another wife, although I do have my teams I want my title of my youth back I wish to be the infana princess of Spain and I wish for Mary to remain princess of England and also to have her heritage recognised as she is descended from the grate rulers of span.
This is offer to you my husband and you are my husband still until I releases you or god does
Katherine of Aragorn the queen of England
The king was not sure of what to make from this and after a few minutes of thinking he called for Cromwell
"A Crum I need you to send some letters for me, I need one to go to Katherine and tell her that I accept her offer and then to ask someone to escort her to a nunnery, we also need a letter to go to the princess mary to inform her of the changes that are going to take place"
"Your majesty I do not understand" Cromwell tolled the king
The king just passed the letter to Cromwell who read it and looked shocked
"Your majesty I don't understand why would she change her mind like this" Cromwell explained in a shocked voice
"I think that she has finely understood that she could not beat me in this matter, at least this choose solves all of the problems and means that I can have my pear back with me, and I am sure that she and Anne will learn to love each other like they love me" the king beamed at Cromwell
Cromwell bowed and replied "I am sure it will all be as you say my king" but inside his head was a flurry of thoughts what would this mean for the reformation and what would happen to Anne with Mary back in the picture they both hated each other with a passion and people were going to have to pick a side the protestant Anne descended from the commons of England or the catholic Mary who maternal grandparents drove to moors from Spain, it would be a battle to the death.
Mary was not able to speck after the massager informed her that she was to be the princess again and that her mother had decided to join a nunnery, she had no idea what to think about this her life was changing again, it was changing to fast. There was one question that was burning inside her
"Will I be able to see my mother" she asked the messenger
"It will be up to the kings grace" was the only reply she had
"The king has also orders for you to go to court immediately" the messenger informed her
"but I do not have any close that are suitable for courted I am sure that the king my father will not want to see me like this" she gestured to herself, Mary had her long hair falling down her back in waves and she was just wearing a plain light blue dress that a servant might be seen wearing.
The messenger looked uncomfortable about this
"I am sorry my lad- my princess I was just informed to bring you as soon as possible"
Mary nodded, there was no option she would go and let everyone see her like this the wronged princess forced to dress like a maid, she smiled to herself it sounded quite romantic like an old tail.
-Hampton court palace-
Anne was fuming at the side of the king she could not believe that the basted Mary was to come back to court at least she now was able to become queen and soon she would have a son and Mary would be no matter, she held the kings hand and he smiled at her, as long as she had his love all would be well.
The king was a mix of emotion he was now free to marry his beloved Anne and Mary was soon to be seen however there was some things that where nagging at his mind how he hated to admit it but he missed Katherine and Mary at least he would have his daughter and soon a son with Anne he smiled as she took her hand a thought of the son that they would one day have.
However their thoughts where interrupted with the cry
"The princes Mary Tudor!"
Everyone turned and looked there were several gasps a young beautiful girl with long unbridled auburn hair and bright blue eyes wherein a plain blue dress she was like a fresh breath of air to the court.
Mary made her was over to the king and curtsied low onto the floor "I am glad and thank god to see your majesty again" she said respectfully
The king stud up and drew Mary into his arms "father you shall call me father" he whispered into her hair
Turning to the crowed "look thanks to god all thing are well" he announced to the crowed and everyone clapped and cheered
"Long live the king, long live princess Mary" was called
The king now noticing the state of Marys clothing "I shall order new dresses for you and you shall be logged at court" the king decreed
Anne's face darkened, noticing this the kings then added
"Mary shall be the second only to Anne who shall soon become my new wife and queen"
Anne then made her way over to the king and Mary
"it will be a pleasure to have you as my daughter" Anne smirked to Mary
"Thank you Lady Anne" Mary replied curtly with a curtsy
The king smiled "good good come sit with us" the king decided and led the lady's up to the head table and summand more wine for them all.
Thoughtsl
There were many in the crowed that day that new this princess would bring a change to the caught
The ambassador Eustace Chapuys was delighted to see Mary back but was also upset with the way that it had come about Katherine should be hear at the kings side not the whore.
The duke of Suffolk thoughts where of a different nature, he was court of guard by the princess he thought she was like an angle, he wanted her and he wanted to protect her and remembered the princess in her childhood and the spirited child she had been he could not wait to talk to her and see her up close.
The duke of Norfolk thoughts where dark and full of anger, this girl would only get in there way she provided another hair to the throne Anne needed to have a boy if they had any chance at keeping the control of the throne and the king.
Princess Mary's royal apartment
After the feast Mary was lead to her new apartment, it was very grand suitable for the princess that she was. The feast had gone very well the king had been very fatherly to her tonight but Mary had experienced the king's displeasure before she no longer trusted her father and she knew that she would need a plan if she was to become queen her mother had given up to much for her to fail.
She needed a husband someone who she could trust and would make a good king and she needed an son the follow her she could not let her father's problem become her own and she needed to choose now before Anne could have a sun, Mary decided on talking to Chapuys in the morning to look into suitable possibility's.
