“You think it is worth considering?”
The Archbishop mumbled and stuttered for a moment. “My King I…..I…..I think it might be…..”
Before the Archbishop could say anything, Nora jumped in, “and of course you would make Archbishop Cranmer the boss man of your own Church. You would be the real boss and the Head of the Church of England. Your own Church and you would not have to worry about old red socks anymore.”
“I think I am starting to like this solution, Archbishop,” replied King Henry VIII. As he started to walk around the court saying out load “Head of my own Church, the Church of England”
“You would be my right hand man in the church Archbishop. You could bring all your fellow clergymen along side you. If they did not want to join my Church then I would banish all of them back to Rome.”
Catherine of Aragon entered the great hall and as she did she noticed a big smirk on King Henry’s face. “My King have you not entertained Archbishop Cranmer and these two ladies long enough?. I wish you to accompany me in the gardens for a walk,” requested Catherine. “I wish you to dismiss these people now, my King.”
“Yes my dear,” replied Henry VIII. “Archbishop keep these two fine ladies in the best of comforts and I will join you later to continue our discussions. Lady Catherine of Ontario and Lady Nora these are very interesting discussions, I look forward to continuing our conversation at a later stage. You are all dismissed from my presence.”
