The Princess Evelyn Tudor

The Tower

Anne Boleyn was found guilty of treason on the 15th May 1536, accused of having extramarital affairs with five men, including her younger brother: George Boleyn, Lord Rochford.

Anne was in agony in the tower. The pressure building up is what she just presumed to be the stress following the days watching her brothers execution. But as she screamed. She felt blood seep out of her. She lifted up her dress and saw a head. She screamed. Was she hallucinating. How cruel to see this two days after she watched a decapitation. But she heard cries and a baby was born from her.

She gasped and choked for air as she picked up the child. "A cleptic pregnancy," she said to herself. She threw herself at the door and knocked. "I need to talk to the king. This has all been some misunderstanding!" She said. But she checked the child. A girl. "No! No! No! Why couldn't you be a boy!" She said in frustration to the child. "My problems would be solved!" She said.

Someone came to the door and opened the glass to see her.

"Sire, I had the kings baby, his Child. I need to see him" she said.

The guard shut the pane and left and she sighed and sunk to the floor. The baby whined. She cried and kisssed her head. "Evie" she said. That is what she had wanted to call Elizabeth. But was Henry going to stop her?

Seven men came into Anne's prison. She looked up holding the infant in fabric she ripped off her dress. "My lords- I-"

"A child" they said.

"We had thought this a scheme to get out of execution?!" Another said.

"It is no scheme. I need to talk to my husband!" She said.

"Why would your husband want to see a child conceived from your infidelities, your incest" the lord said.

Something in Anne clicked. She now realised this baby would make it look like all those false accusation were true. "NO! If the accusations were true, and I fell pregnant with the child then I wouldn't have birthed the baby til months from now!"

"God Knows how long you are participating in these affairs. If she was the kings you would have told him because it would be hope for an heir!" He said. "You hid it because it wasn't his"

"She was a cleptic, I did not know! If I knew I would be at the kings side right now! If she was a bastard I would not be showing her to you right now!"

"Her?! As if the king would be pleased with yet another daughter. "

"Daughter or not, She is his child. He was pleased with Mary and Elizabeth. You have to let the king know of the birth of his child" she said holding it tightly. "You can't let him be unaware!" She said.

"He will write it off as a bastard to Marry Jane"

"That may be so, but she will survive, just as Elizabeth will" she said.

"May she perish-" they heartlessly say and close the door.

"WAIT-" she said. One held back. "Please will you call for the arch-bishop. So he can hear my last confession. Please.." she said.

"As you wish my lady" he said. "Thank you.."

Thomas Cranmer the ArchBishop entered the tower and met Anne Boleyn.

"You wanted to confess to me your sins" he said. He looked down on her. "Oh.. is- is that what you want to confess" he said looking at the baby.

"No, no she is but a light to how dark my life is right now! A gift from God" she said. The bishop stood beside her. "She is not born from infedelity, or incest. The God himself knows who she was born from. And it's the King. I did not know I was pregnant. But I must say, I have sinned, but I am not the creature that these men paint me. I have done nothing to deserve this"
