The king lied outright to Dr. Rowland Lee, the cleric traditionally believed to have been their officiant, claiming that he had a document from the Pope giving him permission to marry again. But Henry refused to produce the paper, testily insisting, "If I should not that it waxeth towards day, fetch it, and be seen so early abroadd, there would rise a rumor and talk thereof other than were convenient." He commanded the celebrant to "Go forth in God's name and do that which appertaineth to you."</i><br /><br />In other words, he told Dr. Lee, "shut up and do what you came here to do; just perform the ceremony."Leslie Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024567064317102889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319886081447332049.post-26868509849012707272010-01-26T01:35:25.093-08:002010-01-26T01:35:25.093-08:00Lovely handwriting but difficult to read...

Henr...Happy 477th Anniversary to this unlucky pair! Henry was such a sneak. He lied to Rowland Lee, the clergyman who officiated at their wedding, claiming that he had the written papal dispensation, but refused to fetch it because being seen abroad (in other words, striding through the palace unattended) at such an early hour would cause undue comment.<br /><br />As we all know, there was no dispensation!<br /><br />Lucy ... Henry was already Supreme Head of the Church of England at the time he and Anne wed. I don't think there was ever a question of a wedding not taking place, since he'd already broken with the Church of Rome and was making up his own religious rules by that point.<br /><br />I'd imagine what might have happened had Anne been like her older sister Mary and opened her legs before marriage, and Henry had dumped her instead of wed her.Leslie Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024567064317102889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319886081447332049.post-70112869719609446562010-01-25T12:16:15.142-08:002010-01-25T12:16:15.142-08:00No kidding I could only imagine what the world tod...No kidding I could only imagine what the world today would have been like with out them. <br /><br />I too have Elizabeth on the brain very much lately.
