This be the dust jacket for his most royal sovereign, King Henry VIII. He has graciously given you leave to explore his kingdom in several threads. Henry ----------- Catherine --------- Anne ----------------- Jane The Year is 1536 in the year of our Gracious Lord, Anne Boleyn is Queen, and the King has placed all his trust in her that she shall soon bear his longed for male heir. Catherine of Aragon is Princess Dowager by the King's order, and some at court are hoping for the Princess Dowager to die. Henry has ignored the orders from the Pope that he leave Anne and return to Catherine, and has instead made himself Pope in England. However, Henry's confidence in his new wife is starting to wane. Even though Princess Elizabeth was born in 1533, his eyes are wandering. Some even say that if Anne does not produce the longed for male heir, she will soon find herself cast aside. Anne is once again pregnant; will she have the son she needs to have to survive? And Jane Seymour is on the horizon.... Our story is covered in many threads: Europe Scotland English Countryside London Lion's Den (Henry VIII’s court) Henry ----------- Catherine You may start any story with Catherine of Aragon as queen, but if you start another thread, please name your story in parentheses. In the 500th anniversary thread of King Henry VIII’s coronation, we are in 1510. And now for something completely different – Alternative History Feel free to start a new storyline, but name your story and put that in parentheses before the title of your post. We have: Anne ---------------- son Edward Anne Boleyn has a son… How does that change history? Arthur ----------- Catherine Prince Arthur does not die in Wales and will become king of England. Will Prince Henry sit for being second fiddle and watch his brother have all the power in England? Currently, we are in 1503. Arthur is still prince and has returned to Wales with his wife, Princess Catherine. King Henry may get his way in this life, but his queens have a thing or two to say in the next one. Get wacky! Here is your chance to do all the stories that don't fit into other storylines. Please note: We are looking for all types of people in this novel! Some include: commoners, thieves, servants, children or any others you can think of! This novel is more focused on the era around the King rather than the King himself. On another note, we ask that you do not apply to the novel as King Henry VIII. We have decided to keep him an NPC in this novel. Please talk with the MOBs before adding a new thread. We would like the threads to have a consistent look.
