now. that. we. don't. talk!!
#tudorswift#been thinking lately about just like...the timing of all this#so. may 1527 is when henry percy's father dies.#and he inherits the earl of northumberland#so; speculatively...had he not taken up with anne until later.#this probably (in other circumstances. obviously if he had not already wed) would've been the most apt time for him to marry his 'choice'#as per cavendish his father's response was well. i can give my earldom to your brother. what now .#but if he's died then he's earl and none can dispute or use that to control his path#but as it stands. may 1527 is also the time at which her betrothal to the king is known .#so. what would THAT be like.#to fumble a woman like AB and then have to watch he literal king of england scoop her up.#i would simply kms.#and i think also of the filter or rather...chain of custody...in which we have contemporary evidence about anne later as queen#the account of norfolk calling her a 'whore' comes from the source of chapuys who names his source as henry percy's servant#who names his source as percy... so.#was that norfolk's word or. percy's?#anyways. something to think about.
