Dear Santa,
I have been a very good girl. All I wish for Christmas is shoes, just a few please. What about those brown ostrich leather pumps from LOUIS VUITTON or the beige pumps with the metal clip from MIU MIU? And please don't forget the PRADA sling pumps, they would look so beautiful with my new silk dress for the new year's eve party.
Yours Cinderella

HENRY VIII AND HIS SIX WIVES. PART 5: KATHRYN HOWARD


5. Kathryn Howard

BORN: c. 1521 
MARRIED: 28 JULY 1540 
EXECUTED: 13 FEBRUARY 1542

NO OTHER WILL THAN THIS
Kathryn Howard was the daughter of Lord Edmund Howard, a younger brother of Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk. She was also first cousin to Anne Boleyn, Henry’s ill-fated second Queen. She was brought up in the household of the Dowager Duchess of Norfolk. Kathryn came to court at about the age of 19 as a lady in waiting to Anne of Cleves and there is no doubt that the spirited young girl caught Henry’s attentions.

HENRY VIII AND HIS SIX WIVES. PART 4: ANNE OF CLEVES


4. Anne of Cleves 

BORN: 22 SEPTEMBER 1515 
MARRIED: 6 JANUARY 1540 
DIVORCED: JULY 1540 
DIED: 16 JULY 1557


GOD SEND ME TO KEEP
Henry VIII remained single for over two years after Jane Seymour’s death, possibly giving some credence to the thought that he genuinely mourned for her.
However, it does seem that someone, possibly Thomas Cromwell, began making inquiries shortly after Jane’s death about a possible foreign bride for Henry. Henry’s first marriage had been a foreign alliance of sorts, although it is almost certain that the two were truly in love for some time. His next two brides were love matches and Henry could have had little or no monetary or political gain from them. But the events of the split from Rome left England isolated, and probably vulnerable.

HENRY VIII AND HIS SIX WIVES. PART 3: JANE SEYMOUR



3. JANE SEYMOUR

BORN: c. 1509
MARRIED: 30 MAY 1536
DIED: 24 OCTOBER 1537


BOUND TO OBEY AND SERVE
Jane Seymour may have first come to court in the service of Queen Catherine, but then was moved to wait on Anne Boleyn as she rose in the King’s favor and eventually became his second wife. In September 1535, the King stayed at the Seymour family home in Wiltshire, England. It may have been there that the king “noticed” Jane. But, it isn’t until February of 1536 that there is evidence of Henry’s new love for Jane. By that point, Henry’s disinterest in Anne was obvious and Jane was likely pegged to be her replacement as Queen.
