Another letter was Jane Saymour, the third wife and mother of the only living child of Henry, Jane died depues Edward was born, no other letter fourth wife Anne of Cleves Henry had no children because Henry thought she was ugly. Henry spite of everything wrong with their wives also had good times, was skilled in many things: riding, tennis, writing and playing music, had a wonderful you.
It was dark and we went with Margaret, we took the letters and read them tomorrow.


II. Katherine of Aragon
They got up early thenext mornign and went to your favorite room . It has a wonderful view of the large gardens and the River Thames at the bottom.
Margaret didn't sleep well because she dream of the king henry and that sent her to the Tower of London, because she read his letters and was very angry with her.
Catherine said not to worry it was just a dream and that Henry was dead.
They went over to the wooden box and opened it. Well 
begin to read the first letter of katherine of aragon, she said.
She was Spanish? said Margaret.
Yes, she firts came over to England to marry Henry's brother Artur, but he died. She then married Henry and was his wife and queen for twenty-four years.
Was a long time! What happened to her? Did she go to the Tower of London too.
Poor Katherine! Divorced after twenty-four years for a younger woman!
I approached the wooden box and opened it, we will read a letter from Katherine of Aragon, she was Spanish, she came to England to marry Henry's brother, but the brother died so she married Henry, was queen for 24 years, Katherine Henry divorce because he wanted a son and she just had a daughter with him, Henry left her for Anne Boleyn was younger.

We read the letter where she was saying she wanted to return to King Henry, but she did not return to see Henry and spend a lonely life, also in the letter was saying that the pope and the church would not agree to the divorce, so Henry broke with the Pope and the Catholic Church, and therefore the king becomes the head of the Church of England, the letter also said that he sent a gold necklace with a cross, Margaret took him and whispering quietly said Henry was a bad husband for her.

III. Anne Boleyn 
Margaret carefully put the necklace back into the box, then looked at her.
Anne Boleyn was beautiful and interesting.
The letter was saying:
Dear Henry
The doctors and my women tell me that I shall feel better tomorrow, but I can see in their faces that it is not true.
I cannot sleep or eat, and a fire burns in my body day and night. I will never see the day when he becomes king, but I pray that God will give him long and happy life.

Personal opinion

I really liked this book because it speaks of the king henry and wrong that was, and their 6 beautiful wives, which matrataba and always sent them to the Tower of London, where they were beheaded, all because herny not wanted because he liked another woman or simply because they gave him a son who he wanted to remain as king. But, even so the only child that had the King Edward is now the king of England.
He was very fond of each but still all sent to the tower. After he died and all his wives also were dead and now Edward is king of England. Is an excellent book.
