How It All Goes Down
Spring 1529
- A hearing commences to evaluate evidence for and against the validity of the marriage between Henry and Katherine.
- It's the O.J. Simpson trial of its day. Everyone is riveted.
- Queen Katherine makes a public plea to Henry, saying that she has always been his "true wife" (23.8) and that she doesn't understand why he wants to split with her.
- Mary admires the queen and believes she is speaking out for all women. All women except Anne, that is, whom wants the queen dead.
