As of Tuesday the Henry VIII saga continues.  I read this book before purchasing this movie and did they really BOOGEDY out their daughters to gain power and luxuries during court.  What is sad that a mother has no power or say over the choices the choice the men make for their ladies.  The worse of it all is that they will take almost every family member down with them just to achieve security of what?  When you are called to court back in the day it was not by choice.. You are summoned no matter the cost for what entertainment that leads to turmoil.  I don't think I would like to be living back in that era.  Not saying I would be one of the Ladies in Waiting / or Mistress to the King.  But, women had no say back then.  We were just pawns being used to gain power for our family.  Do you think with all the luxuries and money you can truley be happy. 

After doing research on the last Tudor days I must admit and say Queen Katherine of Aragon was righteously the first and best Queen of that era.  Its sads how she was over thrown for Anne Bolelyn but history had marked its moment in the time line. 

But, with all the children Henry VIII produced only one heir ended up reigning for 45 years, and that child was Anne Bolelyn and Henry VIII daughter: known as Queen Elizabeth I.

Perky,

Norah Lofts wrote a wonderful book on Katherine of Aragon, and on Queen Elizabeth I, you would really enjoy them if you like reading dramatic history.

I also read one on Lady Jane Grey, the 9 Day Queen. Found it very interesting and very sad. She was killed for trying to usurp the throne and yet she was just a young teen being manipulated by her family for political power.

Thanks Memobo, I will look into those. I have a library that calls my name everyday. =)

Sad back then families didn't care about their children unless they can gain them power.

Wonder how many today in our Government do these behide close doors. Since the Government closes their doors to the public until they need our support.
