This is about Queen Catherine. Little stories in her new found freedom. And a bunch of suitors. Francis and Mary will pop up, time and time again because they'll be the doting mother and father to a newly-single Catherine.
Created for the love of the Holy Trinity of Reign. Queen Catherine, King Francis II, Queen Mary. These three are the whole show.
Enjoy!
Francis: 'Mother! What is this? That the Duke of so-so requests your hand in -'
Catherine: Oh yes, my dear boy. We're collaborating on making these shoes for ladies to wear. (holding up a high heeled shoe) Isn't it marvelous? Mary even thinks so.
Mary: Yes, its marvelous. I love it! Look at my feet. Its beautiful!
Francis: Yes, dear wife, they look lovely on you, then again everything looks lovely on you. But don't distract me with your lovely feet. Mother! Why does Duke Archibald wants your hand in marriage?
Catherine: Oh? He does? I thought it was the Duke, the one with the pirate's earring? Right, Mary?
Mary: Yes, the pirate king was coming onto you. Last feast. Don't you remember, dear husband? He was sprouting out brilliant poetry about your mother's hair, your mother's eyes, her breast...
Francis: Stop! Don't remind me! How many, Mother? How many suitors are they now?
Mary; Last I check, pirate king duke was 12th, that makes Duke Archibald 13th!
Catherine: Actually, 14. Remember that Scottish musician, Mary? Your mother hired him to play for the French court. Well...
Francis: Oh dear God. We're overrun by suitors.
