May 27th being the anniversary of the execution of Margaret Pole, practically the last Plantagenet left standing from the Tudor policy of eliminating rivals to the throne, my thought on that is:
WHAT WAS HENRY THINKIN????? I mean, just think about how this looked to the rest of the "civilized" world.....Margaret was hard on 70, 2 sons in exile, one already killed by Henry's order, obviously she could not live forever, & the evidence was of the thinnest variety against her. What was gained by her grisly execution? Was Henry, after killing Anne, just to the point where he did not care how he looked to the rest of the world, or was he so deluded he just couldn't see it? |

Henry's convenient conscience justified everything he did to be acceptable & "normal". He was at the point in his life where he had realized he could do what he pleased, which had unpleasant consequences for many. Didn't one of the sons (Geoffrey?) actually give his mother up in exchange for his own skin? |
