Introduction: Gloriana and Hercules — A TL of Elizabeth and Francis' wedding I grieve and dare not show my discontent; I love, and yet am forced to seem to hate; I do, yet dare not say I ever meant; I seem stark mute, but inwardly do prate. I am, and not; I freeze and yet am burned, Since from...

7 September 1533 wasn't exactly the happiest day of Henry VIII's life, as King REALLY wanted healthy son to succed him - he married Anne Boleyn in the first place, because he hoped for a legit heir apparent.
