If I have a time machine and could go back in time,
I'd definitely choose 16th century England.
This is because I started watching the HBO Original
series, The Tudors, 3 weeks ago.
The series talks about the life of Henry VIII as King of
England, Lord of Ireland (later
became King) and
claimant of France. I am so into it
because it talked
about facts and events during "his
majesty's" reign.
If you get to watch the series,
you'll hate him for
you'll hate him for
being such a Casanova but love him because he still
had the best interests for England.
Anyway, I'm not yet done watching the first season
(and it only has 10 episodes) because I'm always not
home during weekends. I just got to watch episodes 6
and 7 last Sunday afternoon as I was waiting for the
sun to set and go out of the house. You may all well
know that I do not like the SUN.
I could proudly admit that I am the girl version of Lestat
de Lioncourt minus having to
crave for blood at midnight.
As I read facts about King
Henry VIII, he was not even close to
being attractive. But to make the series
more appealing and interesting to its
audience, they made Jonathan Rhys
Meyers play his majesty. Frankly, he,
being Henry VIII, is overrated. It has a lot of irony...
You see..
Natalie Dormer is Anne Boleyn resurrected. It's plain creepy looking at
her resembling the unfortunate queen.
Henry VIII had six wives and two of them were
accused of adultery, imprisoned in the Tower of
London and later on, beheaded. He also had numerous
mistresses - most of them, the Queen's maids.
1. Katherine of Aragon (annulled)
2. Anne Boleyn (beheaded)
3. Jane Seymour (died because of peupural disease)
4. Anne of Cleves (annulled)
5. Catherine Howard (beheaded)
6. Catherine Parr
Among King Henry VIII's wives, the most
controversial was his marriage to Anne Boleyn. As I
watch their love story I can't help but feel shivers
down my spine. I really thought that Anne Boleyn
really swept off his majesty's feet. He loved her like he
had loved no woman. But since the King was not
satisified with just a single dish, he accused Queen
Anne of having committed adultery and treason that
caused her a head shorter.
So much for the addiction, I feel like
having been reincarnated.
I like to wear medieval dresses and
attend masquerades someday.
And, does Jousting still exist? I'd love to
watch one sometime.
