'...The first thing I notice about him is his weight. The rumours are true: he is spoilt and fat, so different from the young Renaissance prince I have heard he once was. His padded garments only make him look swollen and stout, not stronger. His red hair is thinning and tinged grey, along with his beard...
This is the man I must seduce.'

The Arranged Marriage (The Tudor's Series)
***MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY*** Following the divorce of his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, Henry VIII of England continues on his search for a new Queen. Enduring the hatred of his people that once screamed his name out of love and the orders from his Privy Council, Henry's freedom to choose his future Queen is jeopardized when his Chief Minister, Thomas Cromwell, 1st Earl of Essex, introduces the famous, Lady Anne Boleyn. Desperate for another heir, Henry is clearly blinded by love at the sight of Lady Boleyn. But will Henry's wish for a male heir be granted or will something else catch the King's eye? Read along as you watch the fate of Henry VIII's legacy change forever. Based on the Showtime Series 'The Tudors'. This book will take a slight curvature involving the original series, since my other book 'Long May She Reign' and the rest of the following, tie into the Tudor family. There will be an overlap in a few of the chapters but will mainly focus on the Tudors. Keep in mind this is a FANFIC, this story won't follow Henry's life every step of the way. His last wife won't be mentioned, and the 4th and 5th will be written around the new characters.Terminé

This narrative revolves around Queen Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII of England, whose reign was shrouded in intrigue and speculation. Some portrayed her as a sorceress who enchanted the king, leading him to break from his marriage to Catherine of Aragon and elevate Anne to the throne of England. With Henry's establishment of the Church of England, they were branded as heretics by the Catholic Church, marking a significant shift in England's religious landscape. The Reformation, spurred by Henry's desire for a male heir, severed England's ties with the Catholic Church and its first ruler, Catherine of Aragon. Despite their shared opposition to the Catholic Church's authority, Anne's influence did not guarantee the desired outcome of providing Henry with an heir. Nonetheless, England experienced a period of prosperity during the reign of Elizabeth I, the last Tudor monarch, who governed with resilience and dedication to her country's well-being, even in a male-dominated society. Her reign symbolized unity and progress for England. However, speculation arises about what might have occurred had Anne Boleyn remained Henry's wife and bore him the long-awaited heir, eliminating the need for Henry to marry Jane Seymour. This hypothetical scenario explores the potential outcomes of Anne's continued presence as queen, including her coordination with household representatives and her role in fostering a unified government under Henry's reign.Terminé
It's me, Anne Boleyn
Anne Boleyn in a alternate universe (where she isn't beheaded) *one and only warning* Some historical things WILL be changed on purpose for the sake of the story, (they will be speaking modern English, not old medieval English). If you are looking to read a historical biography, I do NOT recommend reading this. This is a "what-if alternate universe" like 'My Lady Jane' series. If you are an avid historical nut about Tudors solely looking for complete historical accuracy, kindly move on please, this is not for you. I love the Tudors and their predecessors, The Plantagenets, and have been studying their history out of pure special interest for over a decade but this is TOTAL fanfiction.Terminé
