Jane was dying she could feel her soul leaving her body her heart breaking knowing that she was leaving her newborn son without a mother, only then did her actions from the past hit home. She knowingly allowed Anne to be murdered leaving poor Elizabeth without a mother, was this her punishment for her sins. Her world faded into black, the Queen was dead.
"Welcome, Jane." A voice spoke to her with such sweetness. "You have been judged." Jane began to panic, she felt that she that she had been damned for her actions. She kept silent as the voice continued to speak. "We shall show you want you have wrought." Jane gulped.
"Your son, Jane, King Edward VI. He is crowned at such a young age, too young to rule on his own. But his Uncle Edward is more than happy to rule the country for him." Jane couldn't help but feel enraged, her family used her to destroy Anne and now they were using her own son. They flashed forward to scene much more grisly. "Poor Thomas so desperate to share in Edward's power he forced your son's hand." Jane saw as Thomas was led to the scaffold, his crimes of treason astonished her. But when she learned of his desires to marry Mary or Elizabeth she felt sick. She was then showed Edward's execution followed by her son's early death. Mary's turn to the dark side frightened her, but most of all the fact that Elizabeth was the great Tudor monarch her father so desired. Only she was left motherless, and too afraid to marry all because her father's desire for a new wife once more.
"You see Jane, Henry's temper destroyed so many lives. He loved Katherine once, but his heart burned for Anne. She was like a moth drawn to the flame, and burned. Katherine Howard was executed on grounds of adultery, something actually committed unlike her cousin." The voice spoke on about Henry's descent into madness, all beginning with Jane and her family's deceit.
"Fate has chosen, Jane. You must decide to right the wrongs of the past. You are given one wish, but use it wisely." She was not allowed to choose a person to live but could do something to change the past. She looked down her eyes puffy from the tears, her wish was made.
Jane yawned as the light slowly cascaded into the room, she felt different this morning. Clearly a miracle happened and she would live to see her Edward become King. She had had the most vivid dream about death and destruction, but she was about to have the shock of her life.
"Henry" She said sleepily.
"Good morning, sweetheart." Henry leaned over and kissed her soflty on the lips. Jane suddenly realized that the dream must of been real but this is not what she expected to happen. She was in bed with the King of England, but he was at least 10 years younger than her husband.
"Your majesties." Charles entered the room in a panic. "Their majesties the King and Queen of France have arrived and are eager to begin negotiations."
"Thank you Charles." Henry didn't seem phased by Charles seeing him in bed with Jane, and suddenly it registered that she was clearly the Queen. She didn't have time to reflect on what had happened, as she was soon being dressed by her ladies. She could only fathom she was about 18 years old by her appearance in the mirror. She needed to know the year, but she was too afraid to ask.
Henry sat in the middle of the room, holding Jane's hand tightly.
"King Francis and Queen Anne Boleyn." Jane stared in disbelief as she saw her old rival walking into her court as the Queen of France. She discovered that Francis and Anne wished an alliance with England marrying their son Prince Henry to Princess Anne of England. She was not only Queen but the mother to a one year old girl, who she later discovered was named after Queen Anne of France. Her wish had come true it seemed, but in the end much more had changed. She never thought wishing that Henry hadn't met Anne before she was happily married would end up with Anne as Queen once more. Anne and Francis had married when Anne was only 16, their love was legendary. Five princes and three princesses quickly filled the French royal nursery. (Henry, Francis, Elizabeth, William, Cecily, Anne, Charles and George). Prince Henry and Princess Anne did indeed marry and lived happily as King and Queen after the death of Francis. Jane was genuinely happy for Anne, she was loved by her people and her husband. She had heard that Francis never took a mistress during his marriage to Anne. Jane was not so lucky, shortly after the French majesties visit, Henry began courting Lady Catherine Parr. Catherine was one of Jane's ladies, her mother had served the former Queen. Poor Katherine had gone insane, like her sister Joanna, after the death of the Princess Katherine born in 1524 after only a few days of life. Rumors spread that it was actually a conspiracy against the Queen by Jane's family, seeing as how the King had already taken notice of Jane. Katherine discovered Jane sitting on the King's lap shortly before her confinement, her heart broke seeing her husband taking interest in such a young lady. The situation was completely innocent, as Jane had been dancing with other young ladies moments before but somehow tripped and fell only to be caught by the King. Katherine's emotions had misconstrued the events, and the loss of their daughter had driven her made. Henry spent over a year trying to get her to see that it wasn't her fault their daughter died, but soon it was apparent Katherine's mind had been broken. The Pope consented to the dissolution of their marriage, and Henry soon began to court Jane who he fell in love with during his grief over the loss of his wife and mother to the future King. Not even Prince Arthur or Prince Henry seemed to bring Katherine back from her despair, and poor Princess Mary was left confused on why her mother had to leave her. Jane and Henry had a happy marriage, despite the strange beginnings. Besides Anne, they had two sons and another daughter. Edward, Thomas and Bridget.
Katherine of Aragon was eventually reunited with her children in 1528, her mind slowly healed from the loss of her husband. She had a wicked case of postpartum depression in combination with grief of loss that had caused her madness. Henry and Katherine became the best of friends their once strong love guiding them back together. Katherine remarried in 1534 to Charles Brandon after the King's sister died. Katherine was buried with full honors of a Queen when she died in 1545 in Westminster Abbey. She died four years before her son Arthur took the throne, Henry was buried next to Katherine. When Jane died she was buried on the other side of her husband of over 20 years.
