TUDOR WEEK 2024 Day 2 - Tuesday, 15th of October: Favorite Tudor contemporary quote about or said by the Tudor family.

For if the lion knew his own strength, hard were it for any man to rule him. - Thomas More

Lady [Anne] considering herself already sure of her affair, is fiercer than a lioness. - Eustace Chapuys

Although I may not be a lioness, I am a lion's cub, and inherit many of his qualities; and as long as the King of France treats me gently he will find me as gentle and tractable as he can desire; but if he be rough, I shall take the trouble to be just as troublesome and offensive to him as I can. - Elizabeth I

i’m watching owen emmerson’s lecture on the the six queen’s portraits and he said when this medal when on exhibit in 1855, this was a print of it and it was listed with no damage, which means the damage it has now happened after  1855

He himself had been authorised and commissioned by the King to prosecute and bring the Concubine to an end, to do which he had taken considerable trouble. It was he who . . . had set himself to think up and plot out the whole business. After which avowal, Cromwell emphatically praised the sense, wit and courage ("le sens, esperit, et cueur") of the late Concubine. - EUSTACE CHAPUYS speaks with THOMAS CROMWELL on 24 May 1536 (Spanish Calendar of State Papers)

Cifuentes sent Dr Ortiz, an imperial agent in Rome at the time, to learn more about England’s situation and the true purposes of du Bellay’s mission. Upon his arrival at the house of Hémard, tensions rose almost immediately. ‘How is the queen of England’s health?’ Ortiz enquired, referring to rumours that Catherine of Aragon had been unwell for quite some time. ‘Which queen?’ du Bellay replied. ‘You know well that I am asking after the true queen,’ Ortiz barked. ‘Anne is the queen of England and she is well and triumphant,’ said du Bellay.

Around six weeks later – in late September 1533, after the birth of Princess Elizabeth – Cromwell asked for another private audience with Chapuys in order to discuss Henry’s situation. The imperial ambassador suggested that Henry recognise his error in marrying Anne, annul the union, and return to his lawful wife, Catherine, ‘who has shown great patience’ in the midst of this frustrating situation. He continued by assuring Cromwell that it would not be seen as ‘inconstancy’, as there were several princes before Henry who had ‘by force of justice’ been ‘compelled to return to their lawful wives and give up others as adulterers’. Cromwell himself was seeking a rapprochement [of Anglo-Imperial relations], mostly to minimise the dangers of a potential invasion, and this may have guided his response. ‘Thank you for the affection and good words you have towards my master [Henry VIII] and I praise your suggestions and motives,’ he humbly replied, before alluding to the Pope’s declaration of the marriage as illegitimate – including any descendants from Henry and Anne. ‘It is not regarded as of great importance, for as the king found by the opinion of several doctors of this realm and of the University of Orléans, it was unjust and invalid, and the king […] expect[s] it to be revoked.’ Cromwell ended the conversation by revealing that his judgement on the matter had much to do with the strength of Henry’s feelings for Anne: ‘The king’s love is too vehement.’ Perhaps if his feelings changed, things would be different.
