how did Anne and Catalina meet?

SIX THE MUSICAL - MODERN!AU: lore

In the beginning of 2011, Anne (15y) started working at a restaurant where Lina (19y) was the manager. They didn't interact much but got along pretty well.

At that time, Lina had been married to Henry for almost 2 years. Mary was 2, and Bessie (Lina's 14y former employer and Henry's mistress victim) was 3 months pregnant with Henry's baby.

Not too long ago, in January of that same year, Lina had given birth to a beautiful baby boy named Henry Felix, who tragically died little more than a month after he was born. That took a tool on Lina and Henry's relationship, which was already souring.

Anne was dating Henry Algernon Percy, her middle school sweetheart and first boyfriend, for almost 4 years. They were in love, but their families disapproved of it. And with so much pressure from both sides, their relationship had began to crumble.

Henry (18y) caught sight of Anne and flirted with her. Anne knew him, he had slept with her older sister, Mary, and that whole ordeal ended with Mary being known as 'the great and infamous whore'.

She said no and told Lina, who already had become accustomed to her husband's antics, told Anne to ignore him, and if he persisted, the girl should call her and she would take care of it.

Henry, who never heard "no" in his life, got even more persistent with his crush. That prompted Anne to tell Lina, who told Henry to step back.

That didn't work, and he became more and more obsessed. That affected not only Anne, but also her relationship.

Anne and Henry Percy decided to take a break.

Deafeted, Lina asked Anne if she would be more comfortable getting transferred to another unit. She accepted, but Henry found out where she was working and Anne resigned. It was only a high school job anyway.

Lina wrote her an amazing recommendation letter.

In the summer of 2011, Anne moved in with her aunt, also named Anne, to a city not far from london. It seemed to work, Henry hadn't contacted her nor showed up anywhere around. Until she got a very excited call from her dad prompting her to come back home to London.

When she arrived, they had organized a dinner with the Tudor family. Turns out Thomas Boleyn worked for Henry's family (she also found out her mother Elizabeth worked for Lina's family) and Henry had been very friendly with Mr Boleyn. He even got the man promoted.

And, of course, Henry showed much interest in Anne.

Henry had a new son in June, Henry Kyle Blount. They boy was his pride and joy, at least for the first few weeks, when he remembered Anne existed. They boy moved to the USA with his grandma and uncle while Bessie, soon to be 15, moved to a boarding school.

Lina had showed Bessie and Hank her support. Mary got very attached to the boy and threw a tantrum when she found out her baby brother would leave the country.

They ended up having a rather pleasant conversation. Anne had let her guard down after a week she moved, and her and Henry Percy had broken up officially the first week of summer. Not to mention, her sister seemed to not be bitter at all about the 'whore' incident.

They became friends for the next few weeks and engaged in an affair. Henry had promised her he and Lina had been separated for long and Anne told him about the Henry Percy situation. So that, added with her young age and Henry's older boy charms, her newly acquired broken heart, a desire to be in a relationship, and the pressure from her father (wich was so out of hand, it led to her parents separating), prompted Anne to date Henry.

That's when Henry asked Lina for a divorce. She knew it was the best thing to do, but with serious abandonment issues, a catholic upbringing, and having to have endured so much since their marriage, she got defensive and didn't accept it.

They fought a lot during the next months. So much that, one day, they got captured by the media. The people took Lina's side, especially when they found out Anne was involved. That took a tool on the Boleyn family.

Both sides gave public speeches after the case went to court. Lina's was so honest and heartbreaking that the opposite side briefly lost their composure. The country's hatred for Anne affected her so much, that in the begging of 2012, she ended up having a miscarriage.

Lina (20y) only gave in near the end of 2012, when in a heated discussion, Henry (20y) grabbed Lina's arm too hard. She didn't back down and simply glared at him. He seemed to have realized what he did and quickly let go. He calmed down, but didn't acknowled it.

They got divorced. Lina and Anne met again a few times briefly during the process. The former friendliness from before had vanished. Tho, deep down, they both knew it was Henry's fault.

Lina's family stood by her side and publicly threatened to cut all ties, including partnerships, with the Tudors. Henry's older sister, Margaret, was able to calm everyone down and offer the Trastámaras a public apology from Henry. It worked, and the Trastámaras also went public, accepting said apology and excusing the Boleyn family, especially Anne, from any type of blame. That managed to quiet the 'Anne Boleyn hate train' a lot.

Mary (3y) lived with her father and Anne (17y) until December, when Anne found out she was pregnant and Henry relented Mary's custody.

In 2013 Anne (17y) and Lina (21y) saw each other every time Lina dropped her daughter off for a weekend with her father. They came to a silent agreement to be polite and cordial, and that's how their dynamic went, with the resentment slowly fading.

Lina moved in to a manor house given to her by her parents and opened a dominican-spanish restaurant. Her life was getting back on track.

Meanwhile, Anne was in her first year of university, majoring in Psychology.

In June of 2013 things went south. Anne found out Henry was constantly cheating on her and they began fighting.

It all went down quick. In July, Henry convinced him and his friends that Anne was cheating on him and the rumors began to spread. They got so far as to say she engaged in incest with her brother. That was so damaging that Anne lost contact with her brother, and just like their sister, they got cast out of their own family. Thomas and Elizabeth divorced and their mother (who hadn't had a job for 5 years) did everything she could to help her children.

The Boleyn name had been utterly destroyed.

It was Agust that Anne and Henry officially broke up. Anne was so stressed that Lizzie's birth got a whole month delayed. They fought. After Henry slaped her in the face, choked her, and claimed Elizabeth wasn't his child, Anne wandered around London like a zombie. It was around 2am when Lina, driving back late from work, found Anne quietly crying on a curb. She took the girl to the hospital and they released her. Back home, the girls took pictures of the bruises and recorded a video explaining Anne's situation in case she decided to turn him in.

Anne crashed on Lina's for 2 days. They talked, Mary finally decided she didn't hate Anne, and found eachother enjoying the other's company. Lina took her to the police and they made a report (later, she would get a restraining order for Henry, who had to pay a fine).

Anne then went to stay with her mom. And her and Lina had began a friendship.

After Elizabeth was born, the DNA test came out and Henry finally had to deal with the fact that Elizabeth was his daughter. Anne had also found out Henry was dating her distant cousin. She wondered if she knew the whole story.

In January of 2014, Anne (18y) was in university. She got a job, and with her mother's help, managed to rent a 2 bed apartment for her and Lizzie (2m). She was not struggling financially (especially since Henry's (21y) family was buying the baby stuff Lizzie nedded), but she was also not swimming in money.

It was 2 years later, in January of 2016, almost 2 moths after Anne (20y), Jane (19y), Lizzie (1y) and Eddie (3m) had moved in with Lina (24y) and Mary (7y), that the two began developing feelings for each other.

Aquellos que en el pasado lucharon contra la injusticia y abuso de poder. Un moro y su voluntad que perduró durante siglos... Un Asesino, un Caballero que luchó por la corona bajo la cual nacerá.

Unknown to Bernardo, Samuel was a member of the Spanish Brotherhood of Assassins, being the son of a Moroccan Assassin and a Spanish woman. Through the 16th and 17th Century, Samuel fought against the Inquisitors and Templars within his ranks, slowly opening path towards the influencial ranks of the Court.

It was Samuel's son, Renato Valentino Cotoner who assumed the role of Mentor of the Brotherhood in the 17th Century, holding it until his death in the begining of the 18th Century. He was responsible for modernizing the traditionalists methods of the Brotherhood, along with weakening the Templar Strenght though most of Spain (Catalonia, Aragon, Navarra, Andalusia, Castilla and Castilla -Leon).

For his services to the Spanish Crown, he was granted the title of "Conde de Tortosa" (Earl of Tortosa), to which his descendents would inheret. Since then, the blood of knightship and Assassinhood as been running in this family to this very day... And will still do it, no matter what...

"For Queen Catherine, her new life certainly had all the elements of a fairy story, including the presence of a handsome young prince. Never is it more important to get away from the popular stereotype of King Henry VIII -Bluff King Hal, the bloated monarch of the later years- than in considering the man whom Catherine of Aragon married in 1509. If few queens have shown the qualities of mind possessed by Catherine, then few kings have been endowed by nature with such dazzling physical qualities as the young King Henry. It was suggested earlier that Henry and his equally striking fair-haired sisters owed their looks to their maternal York inheritance, not their Lancaster father. Certainly the resemblance between Henry VIII and his grandfather Edward IV is remarkable, if one compares their portraits at the relevant ages. Here was another fine figure of a man, renowned when young for his 'beauty of personage', and his daughter Elizabeth of York inherited his blond good looks; while Henry VIII's father, with his much darker colouring, narrow face and small beady eyes on which all observers commented was general considered by his contemporaries to look more French than English. No less than Edward IV, Henry VIII had the advantage of looking like a king: or at least the popular ideal of one. (Remember how his cousin the Duke of Buckingham, during that nervous moment after Arthur's death when Henry was only a child, was praised for being 'a noble man' who therefore looked likely to be 'a royal ruler,') This was an age when the actual bodily presence of the sovereign formed the focus of his court,, which was in turn the focus of his country, it was an age, also, when sovereigns still led their people in war. Henry VIII was fortunate in that from his earliest years he excited admiration for having what was deemed to be the perfect princely appearance and bearing."

JUNE: An eventful month for Katherine of Aragon who had gone from Princess Dowager of Wales to betrothed of the future King, and eventually became Queen of England, having been crowned jointly with him four years after he was forced to repudiate her:

"On June 1503, the seventeen-year-old Katherine of Aragon was betrothed to Arthur's eleven-year-od brother, Prince Henry, amid some confusion as to whether she was betrothed as Arthur's widow in the fullest sense or as the virgin survivor of an unconsummated marriage. But there was another extended row between Henry VII and Ferdinand over the question of Katherine's dowry, with Katherine caught between her father's and her father-in-law's diplomacy. Events in Spain, moreover, were about to make Katherine less attractive as a marital possibility. In November 1504 Isabella of Castile died, with questions over what would happen to her country. From the English perspective, this meant that an alliance with Katherine now represented an alliance only with her father's Aragon rather than one also with the more important Castile, and in June 1505 Prince Henry was instructed by his father to repudiate his betrothal to her. While her sister-in-law Margaret Tudor seemed comparatively secure in Scotland, Katherine was left once again without clear prospects in a strange land." Henry VIII surprised everyone when he declared that he would marry no other lady but his former sister-in-law, the Spanish Infanta, Katherine of Aragon. Some historians have noted that although he claimed that he was complying to his father's last wishes, that it is highly unlikely that his father would have wanted him to marry Katherine given that there were discussions going on at the time to betroth him to someone else that the council considered would have benefitted England more. Like his maternal grandfather, Edward IV, Henry made it clear from the very beginning that he was not going to be easily controlled by anyone and that he would marry whom he pleased. Like a gallant knight, he rescued Katherine from near-penury and made her his wife in early June. Nearly two weeks later, the two were jointly crowned King and Queen at Westminster Abbey.

AU Tudor: Best Destinations for Henry VIII's Wives (That is, if they had never married him)

Catherine of Aragon-Queen of England (1485-1540)

Catherine and her husband, the Prince of Wales, Arthur Tudor were deeply in love and that great love was able to overcome the disease they were going through. The improvement of the princes was a great joy for all and the couple continued with their normal life, being a very united and passionate couple also focusing on the task of bringing children into the world. In 1504 the couple's first son, Henry, the future Henry VIII of England, was born. The birth of the little one was a great joy for England and for the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon, since the succession to the throne was assured. Two years later Princess Victoria was born, who would be Queen Consort of France.

In 1535 Arthur and his sister Margaret decided to marry his sons James V of Scotland and Elizabeth of England to each other. That same year the couple got married and Elizabeth was crowned Queen of Scotland in this way both countries signed peace.

One year after complete agony and grief, Queen Catherine of Aragon passed away at the age of 55. It is said that on her deathbed, she hugged her husband, who was devastated when he saw her beloved wife dead in her arms. Catherine's death was felt in much of Europe and she was remembered as a faithful, charitable queen and a great mother.

Catherine was buried in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. Just four days after the queen's funeral, Arthur I fell seriously ill and the next day he passed away at the age of 54. The king's last words were "my beloved Catalina."

Catherine of Aragon, The Divorced Queen (1/?)

Henry VIII was very much in love with his wife, Catherine of Aragon at the beginning of their marriage. But like a little boy fed up with his old toys, Enrique got tired of Catherine just three years after her marriage and three babies died shortly after birth. The king sought lovers among them, Elizabeth "Bessie" Blount, who became pregnant and this pregnancy was the reason for Henry to divorce Catherine, stating that she was a sterile woman and that with her by his side the Tudor dynasty could never continue in England.

At first Catherine was offended by this matter, but her father, Ferdinand II of Aragon, convinced her daughter to accept her divorce and return to Castile, stating that she would be free in her home instead of being locked in a poor castle. In the end, Catherine had to accept her divorce and that same year she returned to Castille, being received by her old father and her nephew, Ferdinand of Austria.

Catherine visited her sister, Joanna known as “Juana la loca” in Tordesillas where they both shared their sorrows and prayed continuously. Joanna surprisingly convinced her father to remarry her sister to another man, stating that she was still young to join Christ and that the words of the "English boy" were an insult to her family.

Ferdinand of Aragon was already a sickly man and he was almost finished, so he was more susceptible. Castile and Aragon had been at enmity with France for years, but these conflicts were costing both countries a toll, so Louis XII of France and Ferdinand II decided to reach an alliance of peace by marrying the dauphin Francis de Valois with the divorced Catherine, who still She was young, beautiful, and menstruated well, despite the rumors of her infertility.

At first, Francisco was engaged to his cousin Claude of France, but Claude died of smallpox in 1511 at the age of 12 and her mother, Anne of Brittany, left her dukedom to her other daughter, Renata, but at the Anne of Brittany passed away, Renata under the influence of her father agreed to leave the duchy of Brittany to her cousin. Francis at the age of 18 agreed to marry the 28-year-old woman, stating that she was beautiful and desirable, as well as knowing the political experience of the infanta and her gifts of governing her in England.

In 1513 Catherine left for France with her entourage and arrived two months later. The betrothed were attracted the moment they met and married two days later in Saint-Germain-en-Laye.

Enrique VIII estaba muy enamorado de su esposa, Catalina de Aragon al principio de su matrimonio. Pero como un niño pequeño harto de sus viejos juguetes, Enrique se canso de Catalina tan solo tres años de su matrimonio y tres bebes muertos al poco de nacer. El rey se busco amantes entre ellas, Elizabeth “Bessie” Blount la cual quedo embarazada y este embarazo fue el motivo que tuvo Enrique para divorciarse de Catalina afirmando que era una mujer estéril y que con ella a su lado jamás podría continuar la dinastía Tudor en Inglaterra.

Al principio Catalina se sintió ofendida por este asunto, pero su padre, Fernando II de Aragón convenció a su hija de aceptar el divorcio y volver a Castilla afirmando que seria libre en su hogar en vez de ser encerrada en un castillo pobre. Al final Catalina tuvo que aceptar el divorcio y ese mismo año volvió a Castilla siendo recibida por su viejo padre y su sobrino, Fernando de Austria.

Catalina visito a su hermana, Juana conocida como “Juana la loca” en Tordesillas donde ambas compartían sus penas y rezaban continuamente. Juana sorprendentemente convenció a su padre de volver a casar a su hermana con otro hombre, afirmando que aun era joven para unirse a Cristo y que las palabras del “niño ingles” eran un insulto hacia su familia.

Fernando de Aragon ya era un hombre enfermizo y estaba casi acabado por lo que era mas susceptible. Castilla y Aragón estaban enemistados con Francia desde hace años, pero estos conflictos estaban costando factura a ambos países por lo que Luis XII de Francia y Fernando II decidieron llegar a una alianza de paz casando al delfín Francisco de Valois con la divorciada Catalina, quien todavía era joven, bella y menstruaba bien pesé a los rumores sobre su infertilidad.

En un principio, Francisco estaba comprometido con su prima Claudia de Francia, pero Claudia falleció a causa de la viruela en el 1512 a los 12 años de edad y su madre, Ana de Bretaña dejo su ducado a su otra hija, Renata, pero al fallecer Ana de Bretaña, Renata por influencia de su padre acepto dejar el ducado de Bretaña a su primo. Francisco con 18 años acepto casarse con la mujer de 28 años afirmando que era hermosa y apetecible, además de conocer la experiencia política de la infanta y sus dotes de gobernación en Inglaterra.

En el 1513 Catalina partió hacia Francia con su comitiva y llego dos meses después. Los prometidos se sintieron atraídos en el mismo momento en el que se conocieron y se casaron dos días después en Saint-Germain-en-Laye.

¿Isabel de Castilla o Catalina de Aragon?

Las dos son entre mis figuras históricas favoritas, en mis top 10. Es imposible compararlas, puesto que sus papeles como reinas eran muy diferentes. Aunque, desde luego, Isabel I de Castilla hizo muchas más cosas y fue más importante para la historia de Europa y mundial, su hija fue mi primer personaje favorito de la historia, y además se parece mucho a su padre (y Fernando me fascina más que Isabel), por lo tanto, me quedo con Catalina.

HISTORIA UNIVERSAL – REINAS – CATALINA DE ARAGON -

Catalina de Aragón, nació en Alcalá de Henares, Corona de Castilla, 16 de diciembre de 1485 y falleció en el castillo de Kimbolton, Inglaterra, el 7 de enero de 1536, fue Reina de Inglaterra desde 1509 hasta 1533 como la primera esposa del rey Enrique VIII y madre de María I de Inglaterra; anteriormente fue princesa de Gales como esposa de Arturo, príncipe de Gales.

Hija de la reina Isabel I de Castilla y del rey Fernando II de Aragón, Catalina tenía tres años cuando fue prometida en matrimonio al príncipe Arturo, heredero del trono inglés. El matrimonio se llevó a cabo en 1501, sin embargo, Arturo falleció cinco meses después.

En 1507, actuó como embajadora para la Corte Española en Inglaterra, convirtiéndose en la primera mujer embajadora de la historia europea. ​

En 1509 contrajo matrimonio con Enrique VIII, hermano menor de Arturo, quien había sucedido al trono recientemente. Durante seis meses en 1513, sirvió como regente de Inglaterra mientras Enrique VIII estaba en Francia y fue durante esta regencia que los ingleses resultaron victoriosos en la batalla de Flodden Field contra los escoceses, un acontecimiento en el cual Catalina desempeñó un papel importante.

Hacia 1525, enamorado de su amante Ana Bolena e insatisfecho con su matrimonio con Catalina, que no había producido ningún varón superviviente, Enrique VIII dejó a su hija, la futura María I de Inglaterra, como heredera presunta durante una época en la cual no había ningún antecedente establecido para que una mujer sucediera al trono.

Enrique buscó la manera para anular su matrimonio y puso en marcha una cadena de acontecimientos que condujeron a la ruptura de Inglaterra con la Iglesia Católica. Cuando Clemente VII rehusó la declaración de nulidad del matrimonio, Enrique le desafió asumiendo la supremacía sobre los asuntos religiosos. En 1533 el matrimonio fue declarado inválido y Enrique se casó con Ana Bolena en juicio del clero en Inglaterra y sin referencia al Papa.

Catalina se negó a reconocer oficialmente a Enrique como jefe supremo de la Iglesia de Inglaterra y siguió considerándose tanto la esposa legítima del rey como la verdadera reina, atrayendo mucha simpatía popular.

A pesar de esto, Enrique solo la reconoció como princesa viuda. Después de ser desterrada de la Corte, pasó el resto de su vida en el castillo de Kimbolton donde murió el 7 de enero de 1536. Los súbditos ingleses de Catalina la tenían en alta estima y su muerte desencadenó un largo periodo de intenso luto entre el pueblo inglés. ​

El controvertido libro De institutione feminae christianae de Juan Luis Vives, que afirmaba que las mujeres tienen derecho a una educación, fue encargado por ella y dedicado a ella. Tal fue la impresión que Catalina causó en la gente que, incluso su enemigo Thomas Cromwell, dijo de ella: "Si no fuera por su sexo, podría haber desafiado a todos los héroes de la historia".

La reina obtuvo un triunfo con la exitosa apelación a favor de la vida de los rebeldes involucrados en Evil May Day, a quienes defendió por el bien de sus familias. Catalina también se ganó la admiración generalizada por iniciar un amplio programa para el socorro de los pobres. ​ La reina fue mecenas del Humanismo Renacentista y amiga de los grandes eruditos Erasmo de Rotterdam y Tomás Moro.

History behind A Song of Ice & Fire/ GameofThrones: The Politics of Queenship - Catherine of Aragon & Margaery Tyrell: Sweetness & Good Will Conquers an Entire Realm Faster than any Army.

Catherine of Aragon, as I've posted before, is one of the historical inspirations for Margaery #Tyrell -the ill-fated and short-lived queen of not one, but three kings, two of which were recognized. Unlike her fantasy counterpart however, Catherine of Aragon's last marriage was LONG and nearly prosperous. Had it not been for Prince Harry dying less than two months after his birth, Henry would have remained married to her. But alas! as the three eyed raven told Bran, history can't be rewritten. Our job is to study it, learn from it. There's nothing else to be done when the ink is already dry.

In both the books and the show, we saw a politically astute young woman who has the entire commons of KL eating from her fingers. The way she rose to the top seems almost surreal, until you read about this historical counterpart of hers.

Starz is going to premiere The Spanish Princess this Monday, an hour after our favorite sow comes on HBO. While the TV show is based on two historical novels from celebrated author Philippa Gregory, and there likely will be a lot of liberties being taken for the sake of drama, so far, judging by the teasers and trailers, this will be the first time (in American TV) that we'll be getting an introduction to the early years of Catherine of Aragon who'll be shown as someone who was deeply devout but also ambitious and bold like her parents, the famous Catholic Kings, Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile.

But just like all royal or noblewomen who used the rules of the patriarchy and sexist notions of women to their advantage, both of these women met their match when they went against Anne Boleyn and Cersei Lannister.

Not to discredit both of these highly smart women; they were trained by equally ambitious and clever women (Catherine, by her mother and female Humanist tutors who were unsurprisingly sponsored by Isabella, and Margaery by her indomitable grandmother, the legendary Olenna "Queen of Thorns" Tyrell); but neither of them could have predicted the many religious and socio-political events that unfolded during their tenure as royal consorts.

In the end, Margaery and Catherine are two great examples of women who met the gender expectations of their era, played by society's rules and using the image they build for themselves as humble, devout, and loyal wives, they managed to win the hearts and minds of their husbands' subjects, showing us that appearances an be deceiving. Sweet manners, charm and charity are far more dangerous weapons than swords and cutting remarks. When Catherine pleaded for the lives of those that had sided with the leaders of the evil May Day riots, she was doing nothing out of the ordinary. Many medieval queens had done the same. However, what brought attention to her pleas was the genuine care she exhibited for those that had been deemed guilty for following the rebel leaders. Catherine's passion and past charity for the poor masses, left no doubt in everyone's mind that she meant every word. Similarly, when Margaery waves at a crowd of commons gathered outside the Sept of Baelor, with Joffrey, no one doubts her sincerity. The previous days, she had visited an orphanage and given bread and water to the children whose parents had died at Blackwater Bay. Not only did she give them food, she also listened to their stories and comforted them.

Not every lady is cut out to be Queen, these two however are because this is what they were trained for their entire lives. Margaery and Catherine might appear docile, but they're just as ambitious and determined as the dynasties they married into.

SIX THE MUSICAL - MODERN!AU: illustration

Anne's family tree

[minervacasterly]

“Henry had taken the precaution, thirteen days before the coronation, of marrying his intended bride so that a king would be accompanied by a queen; it was thereby to be understood that he was an adult rather than a minor. Katherine of Aragon was the child of Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon, in whose reign Spain was united. She had come from that country in order to marry Prince Arthur, Henry’s older brother, but events conspired against her. Arthur died less than six months after their wedding, of consumption or the sweating sickness, and Katherine was left at the English court in the unenviable position of a widow whose usefulness had gone. It was said that the king himself, Henry VII might wish to marry her. But this was unthinkable. Instead she was betrothed to Prince, and was consigned to some years of relative penury and privation at the hands of a difficult father-in-law who was in any case pursuing a better match for his son and heir. Yet, after seven years of waiting, her moment of apotheosis had come. On the day before the coronation she was taken in a litter from the Tower of London to Westminster, passing through streets draped in rich tapestry and cloth of gold. A contemporary woodcut depicts Henry and Katherine being crowned at the same time, surrounded by rank upon senior clergy.”
