Elliot Cowan: King Henry Tudor

Quotes 

• Catherine of Aragon : Your Grace.

  King Henry Tudor : Catherine.

  Catherine of Aragon : Thank you for seeing me.

  King Henry Tudor : I know this cannot be easy for you.

  Catherine of Aragon : Harry is- He loves me. He cannot wed my niece.

  King Henry Tudor : Harry has a new path he must take.

  Catherine of Aragon : But does he do so willingly?

  King Henry Tudor : For peace and duty and for king and for country, yes, I think he does. Much like his mother did in marrying me.

  Catherine of Aragon : Bu you found love. You think Harry can abandon his love for me?

  King Henry Tudor : A king is not like other men. His heart belongs to his kingdom, and in that sacrifice he proves that he will be a great monarch. Harry's ambition is to make this isle master of the world. I have seen it in his eyes. Soon, we will all be in his shadow.

  Catherine of Aragon : If it is his choice... then I accept it, but... But, please, Your Grace... is he happy?

  King Henry Tudor : You still care for his happiness?

  Catherine of Aragon : I cannot help it. I love him, so he has my heart.

  King Henry Tudor : Sweet, constant Catherine. You were born to be a queen. I am still without a wife. I know I am not Harry, but you would yet be Queen of England.

  Catherine of Aragon : You honor me, Your Grace... but I cannot. You deserve the full heart of a wife. Mine will ever be for Harry.

  King Henry Tudor : Yes. And mine for my dear, sweet Lizzie.

• Margaret Beaufort : Who allowed you to return?

  King Henry Tudor : I agreed to speak with her, but now she will take her leave.

  Catherine of Aragon : Your Grace.

  King Henry Tudor : Make sure she leaves the palace grounds, and do not readmit her.

  Guard : Yes, my lady.

  King Henry Tudor : Escort her... as a princess.

  [Catherine leaves] 

  King Henry Tudor : I think her heart is broken.

  Margaret Beaufort : Good. She may send it to her sister as a warning. There's still no word on Edmund de la Pole's return to us. He'd best be sent back soon, or perhaps we'll think again about who our friends are.

• Thomas Wolsey : Your Grace, the dowager princess brings an urgent message.

  Margaret Beaufort : No. Out.

  King Henry Tudor : Now, let her speak.

  Catherine of Aragon : The queen's consort, Philip, Archduke of the House of Habsburg, is dead. My sister's grief has caused her health to fail, and her son and heir, Prince Charles, who is betrothed to your Princess Mary, is only eight and is too young to rule. My father has declared himself the king of Spain again, and I am named ambassador to England.

  Margaret Beaufort : Ambassador? That is a position for a man.

  Catherine of Aragon : I sat at my mother's feet in the Alhambra palace. I listened to my father in the golden hall of the ambassadors. Statecraft has always been my family business.

  Margaret Beaufort : I see this for what it is. You cannot block the weddings we have brokered.

  Catherine of Aragon : My father can. My niece and nephew are in his keeping now.

  Margaret Beaufort : Your father wants this alliance as much as we do.

  Catherine of Aragon : Yet he offered me my dowry. You were right, My Lady, when you said my father is as tricky as a fox, but you need him now to save yourselves from France. I am his proxy in this court, so unless you wish to cross him, I will take Senor de Fuensalida's quarters for the moment, and my lady will lodge with me.

  King Henry Tudor : But Catherine... my son... I know you will seek to find him, probably scour this palace from top to toe. But he is gone.

  Catherine of Aragon : Your Grace.
