Summer 1501
The 27th of June arrived and the princess was ready to leave for England. After mass and breakfast the royal family and the highest lords and ladies in court went to see of the princess' party. Princess Claire kissed her family goodbye and mounted her horses with her friends. The princess, her household, her ladies with their husbands and children rode off to England.
Around noon they stopped at one of the king's friend's manor in Calais, right next to the channel. The Princess and her friends stayed for lunch and dinner. When the sun started to set the headed to the port where the royal barge was waiting for them. The parties' belongings were loaded on board. The princess went below board, her ladies followed. Halfway through the night Claire woke and walked to the deck. She found Lady Margaret with her two-year-old daughter, Rosalia.
"Can't sleep?" the princess asked her childhood friend, informally as she sat down. Margaret nodded.
"Rosalia won't sleep," she said tiredly, "and if I give her to the wet nurse she'll only cry more!"
"She must not like traveling by boat we should be arriving by morning, though" Claire reassured her. At the thought of arriving in England made her sad and homesick.
"England wont be that bad, and you will always have us," she told her friend, trying to make her happier "And they do say he's quite handsome!" Claire laughed at her friend's attempt to cheer her up. Mariah, their other best friend, and her husband, Jacob, walked onto the deck. Claire stood to allow her friend to sit. Her husband bowed to the princess and went back to helping his wife.
"How's the baby? Not too much trouble is it?" asked Margaret.
"Fine if it only stopped moving!" said Mariah rubbing her stomach.
"It's just as worried about going to England as you are princess!" joked Margaret. Everyone laughed at Margaret's joke. After a couple of hours the group retired back to their beds.
The princess woke a few hours later and got dressed. She went onto the deck and found all her friends watching the shore of England come into view. Claire joined Mariah and Margaret at the boat's railing.
The princess looked at the strip of land with a very precautious look, "So this is it, our new home."
