August 1st 1511
Greenwich Palace, London
Isabella, Queen of England was in negotiations with her husband, His Majesty, King Henry the eighth for Edward, William, and Isabella with Germany, Scotland, and France. Beauregard was promised to Maria Esperanza d' Aragon's youngest daughter, Rosita, Mary, to an Irish duke's son. Henry, to Denmark's heiress, Sofia, Elizabeth to a Denmark duke's son named Victor, and Arthur betrothed to a Scottish duke's daughter named Dahlia. Now they were looking for brides for their sons and a husband for their daughter. For Isabella they decided on a Scottish heir and future duke, for Edward they were thinking of Maria, and William they were considering the heiress to the throne of Germany. They sent their requests and betrothal contracts if agreed and now would have to wait for a response.
August 4th 1511
Chateau Blois, France
''Well my love it seems they want a betrothal contract between Prince Edward and our Maria.'' King Louis told his wife and Queen, Katherine.
''Whatever your decision I will follow my lord husband.'' Katherine told Louis. With that King Louis signed the betrothal contract between Prince Edward and Princess Maria.
Later that night
''Mon amour I am pregnant.'' Katherine told Louis later that night.
''My Cherie this is the most wonderful news.'' Louis said to his wife. Not knowing that at a ball Katherine got so drunk she slept with Francois and Louis in the same night. Something that would only happen once then never again. Katherine knew not who the father was.
Hours earlier in Germany
''What do you think my Queen? Shall we sign?'' King Maximilian the first asked his wife Queen Angelique as it was their daughter.
''We shall sign as the Queen is a good warrior like her husband.'' Angelique said. Angelique was Isabella's childhood friend and they had planned since childhood that their children would marry. With that the monarchs of Germany signed a betrothal contract between their daughter and Prince William.
Same time in Scotland
''Shall we, my love?'' John de Moravia now Duke of Sutherland asked his wife Abigail de Moravia.
''As you wish my lord husband.'' Abigail said. And with that they signed the betrothal contract between Princess Isabella and their son Gideon de Moravia.
August 11th 1511
Queen Isabella and King Henry just received the replies and betrothal agreements. They opened France's reply first.
''Dear Henri, it is great to hear you and your Queen not only have three babes in the nursery but more on the way. On to the matter at hand, I, King Louis the twelfth in sound mind and body agree to betroth my eldest daughter Maria, to your fourth born son Edward. With my reply you should see that the betrothal contract is signed by me and my wife. King Louis the twelfth.'' Henry read.
''So, Edward has a secure marriage?'' Isabella asked. ''Yes, he does.'' Henry responded. Then came Germany's letter and contract.
''To Henry, we offer peace to be assured when our children marry. I have agreed to allow your son to marry my daughter not only for them but peace and for us to be united once more. Signed King Maximilian the first.''
Then Scotland's letter. ''To King Henry, I agree to let my son and heir marry your youngest daughter in hopes that Scotland and England will always be at peace. John de Moravia Duke of Sutherland.'' Henry said as he read the last letter. Henry put the betrothal contracts through the proper steps after he and Isabella made sure they were signed. And soon enough England knew about the betrothals of Edward, Isabella, and William.
August 15th 1511
Isabella was taking a walk in the garden and thinking of going to see her children. It's been a few weeks since she saw them last and Isabella plans to go to Hatfield and surprise her little ones. All it will take is a little bit of planning.
''Father.'' ''Papa.'' Beau, Hal, Mary, Lizzie, and Arthur greeted their father.
''Hello my little ones. I've brought you and your siblings here as a surprise for your momma as she was going to sneak away to see you.'' Henry told his children as he had seen plans on Isabella's desk to go to Hatfield. While pregnant may he add. (the evidence of her being a witch was protected by magic and there was no evidence she cheated (except for Edward, Isabella, and William) but they could also inherit the looks they have from their mom's family). Henry took care of it by summoning their children to court.
''Oh, my babies. My sweet wonderful babies.'' Isabella said as she dropped to her knees and hugged her eldest children to her. ''Now you don't need to go to Hatfield to see them.'' Henry said in the I-know-what-you-were-planning-to-do tone of voice. ''I didn't want to bother you with this when you've got other things on your mind. Like the possible war with Portugal.'' Isabella whispered in Henry's ear. Henry kissed Isabella then said ''You could never bother me my love.''
