Jane Seymour
This fanfiction is going to be based around The Tudors. I may change some storylines but will try to stick to the original series as far as possible. I'm not really sure where this story will go. I have no plans for the characters but hope that anyone who reads it will enjoy. It also won't be completely accurate historically.
I just met the King of England. The most powerful man in the country. He was so handsome and so kind. As he rode away I longed to see him again. I'm tired of this life. I sit all day with my needlework doing next to nothing. I long for something exciting and I can't help feel that the look that was in the kings eye as he looked upon me may be that exciting thing that I have been waiting for.
Not long after the kings visit I was summoned to my fathers chambers where both he and my brother Edward waited. This was a unusual request from my father which spiked curiosity on my behalf. I wondered if a husband had been found for me. I dreaded this though I had been trained for it my whole life.
My father began to speak " you are to go to court, my dear daughter."
" I am to go to court, father?" I reply
" Yes you have been summoned by the king of England himself"
I must have had a look of confusion etched upon my face as my father continued to speak.
" It is a great honour for you. I means he must think highly of you"
I was speechless. The prospect of this frightened me. Not only had I rarely left this house but I had no inkling as to why the king would call upon me or as to what he expected of me.
My brother now spoke up " You are to gain the kings attention my sister. News has reached us that Henry tires of his wife. He may look to take another. The request of your presence at court gives us hope that he may choose you."
A half smile spread across my face. I thought this meeting may have been about the possibility of marriage but it had never crossed my mind that the man that I may have been marrying would be the King of England.
" You may go now, Jane. You will leave mid this week. Your brother and I will be coming with you. The King has invited us also. " My father says.
I walk out the door with mixed feelings. I can't help but feel anxious. No man has ever desired me. The King of England desires plain Jane Seymour. How can that be ? I wonder this as I walk back to my chambers.
This first chapter is quite short and I know it doesn't follow the same storyline of how Jane and Henry met in the Tudors but I hope it is still enjoyable. (:
