Thomas Cromwell, 2 November 2020

 

2 November 2020

Dear Thomas Cromwell,

You should be ashamed of what you helped the king do to Anne Boleyn. Helping him accuse Anne, George, Henry Norris, William Brereton, Francis Weston, and Mark Smeaton. Poor Mark Smeaton, you tortured him to get false information out of him. Which lead to six people being wrongfully executed.

 

Six people lost their lives because the king wanted to marry another woman.

 

 

I hope God had mercy on your soul when you lost your head in 1540. You see that is what I call krama, you helped kill six people and you lost your head. Krama is a way to say you had it coming. For what you did to Queen Anne and five men.

 

You helped the king rip a mother from her child. Anne Never got to see Elizabeth grow up and become the glorious Queen Elizabeth was destined to be.

letter to Queen Anne Boleyn 7 November 2020

 

Dear Queen Anne Boleyn,

There is a rumor going around, that I do not believe for one second that it is true. The rumor is that you really sis conspired against Henry. I do not believe that for a second that you would do that to the man you loved.

 

But unfortunately, we will never know the truth because that was over 400 years or so ago. I will always believe that you are innocent. Until I have proof that you did the things that people say you did, because if there is no evidence there is no proof. So, all it is, is hear say and not proof.

Letter to George Boleyn, Viscount Rochford 2 November 2020

 Dear George Boleyn, 

The truth has come out about you and your sister Anne. you never laid with her. I have a strong feeling that I can't prove that the reason you were implicated in the wrongful downfall of your sister. My feeling being that your wife Jane, Lady Rochford made up lies about you laying with your sister Anne. Because she hated being married to you. 

But like I said that I can't be proven, that she did that to you. 

The only reason Henry wanted to get rid of Anne was because she gave birth to your niece Elizabeth and not the son he wanted, so he wanted Anne out of way. so he could marry lady Seymour.

Dear Mary Boleyn,

I thought you should know that last week it was proven that your brother and sister were in fact innocent all the charges.

 

Everything that was brought up against them were false. King Henry just wanted to replace your family with the Seymour’s. So, henry made up charges for your sister and brother and anybody who was a supporter of your sister.

 

I thought you would want to know that Anne and George were in fact innocent all along.

Dear Queen Anne Boleyn,

Hello again Anne, it has been another year since the anniversary of your wrongful execution. A lot has changed since, we found out that you were fact innocent of all the charges brought up against you. Our version of the sweating sickness is coming to an end, hopefully soon. I just wish that you were alive to know that you were innocent of all charges, not already dead with your head shove in your arm, in an old trunk and not a coffin, like you should have been. You should have gotten to watch your beautiful Elizabeth grow into the queen that she was destined to be.

Now if you had lived, I do not know if Elizabeth would have become the virgin queen or Gloriana, but I do know that she would have had her mother by her side as she grew into that great queen.

You were the best wife that Henry had you gave him the future monarch that he needed not Catherine or Jane, but you never should doubt yourself Anne. What Tudor England needed was a strong female monarch that could bring them into the golden age.

I believe that Catherine should have gone back to Spain where she belonged. She should have never been queen of England or got to marry Henry. she was never the true queen, and neither was Jane. Their children never ruled for exceptionally long and Mary is now called Bloody Mary. Elizabeth was the virgin queen and Gloriana.

Had Henry not fallen from his horse in 1536 then maybe you would have survived and not been wrongfully executed on false charges.

I never believed that you laid with four men and your own brother. That is simply wrong.

I must now go back to the real world now Anne.

Queen Anne Boleyn's speech

 

Good Christian people, I am come hither to die, for according to the law, and by the law I am judged to die, and therefore I will speak nothing against it. I am come hither to accuse no man, nor to speak anything of that, whereof I am accused and condemned to die, but I pray God save the king and send him long to reign over you, for a gentler nor a more merciful prince was there never: and to me he was ever a good, a gentle and sovereign lord. And if any person will meddle of my cause, I require them to judge the best. And thus I take my leave of the world and of you all, and I heartily desire you all to pray for me. O Lord have mercy on me, to God I commend my soul.

 

After being blindfolded and kneeling at the block, she repeated several times: To Jesus Christ I commend my soul; Lord Jesu receive my soul.

Letter to Elizabeth Boleyn 31 October 2020

 

31 October 2020

Dear Elizabeth Boleyn,

I have already written to Anne on this matter. But last week there was evidence found that proves that your son and daughter were innocent of all charges and everything brought up against them was a plot to get rid of your daughter, son, and husband from court. So, the king had your son and daughter executed. Anne never laid with any man expect her own husband. The only reason Henry wanted to be rid of your family was because, he wanted to replace them with the Seymour’s. because Anne only gave birth to you namesake Queen Elizabeth I, you granddaughter. I think that the reason for Henry’s change in attitude was due to his fall in January 1536.

 

I also refuse to write to your husband because I have a feeling that is the reason that Anne was in that situation in the first place.

 

I just wanted you to know that your son and daughter were innocent of any wrongdoing.

Letter to Queen Elizabeth I 2 November 2020

 

 2 November 2020

Dear Queen Elizabeth I,

It has taken 485 years since your mother was wrongfully executed. It has been discovered that your father made all the charges up that caused her to lose her life and head. Your mother was wrongfully taken from you, by your father. The same man who declared you and your sister Mary bastards. The same man who paid more attention to your brother, all because he was a boy.

 

I have already written to your father about this along with your mother. I have always believed that your mother was innocent in all this that father wrongfully executed her all because she gave birth to you, and not the son her so hoped for.

 

I am proud to say that you, your majesty has proven that women can rule a country all on their own. You rule over England without a man and brought England to a victory against the Spanish Armada. You truly are Gloriana and The Greatest Queen, who was not a consort. That honor falls to your mother. I just wish your father and mother could see what you did for England.

 

I wish your mother got to see you bring England into the Golden Age. That you became a great Queen who loved her people and brought everyone into the next century.

 

I understand why you did not have any children. Two of your stepmothers died because they had children, your own mother died because all she could give birth to was you.

Letter to Queen Elizabeth I 24 March 2021

 

24 March 2021

 

Dear Queen Elizabeth I,

 

Today is anniversary of your death. I have a few questions for you your Majesty.

 

First, I would like to know did you really hate your father for what he did to your mother Anne Boleyn? Also, which of his wives after his did you like?

 

Next, I would like to ask why would Mary be so cruel to you and place you in the tower knowing what you mother went through in the tower? I get it she never liked your mother because your father divorced her mother and took the title of Queen from her. But that is still no excuse for Mary, putting her own blood sister in the tower.

 

Next, I would like to ask did you really love Robert Dudley, or did you love him as friend? Because people believe that you loved him more then a friend. Also, about Amy Robsart, was she sick or did Robert have her killed?

 

Now on to Mary Stuart also known as Mary Queen of Scots. What was her deal? Yes, she was a descendant of King Henry VII, your grandfather. But you had a stronger claim to the throne of England as the daughter of King Henry VIII. Your Mother was a crowned Queen of England as well. To this day I still call your mother Queen Anne Boleyn, instead of just her name. When it came to having to execute Mary or not, I think you did the right thing. If had not executed her then she might have never given up her claim to the throne of England and had, you killed. Doing that you were not your father but the exact opposite, you did not execute a slew of husbands as your father had done to wives.

 

 

Let us talk about the Spanish Armada, how did it feel defeating them in battle and proving to all the other nations that you were the true Queen of England?

 

I know that you will never be able to answer these Questions, but I was just something that I need to ask you as fan of yours and your mother.

Letter to King Henry VIII 28 October 2020

    28 October 2020

Dear King Henry VIII,

A few days ago, the truth was uncovered about what you did to Anne Boleyn. All she ever did was love you, and you go and make orders to get rid of your wife and Queen. This one all because you didn't get the son you wanted. Well good Sir, I have some information for you. And did give you the air, you so hoped for. Elizabeth did more for England that either of your other children. it wasn't a son who brought England to the Golden age, but a daughter; the daughter of the wrongfully executed Queen Anne Boleyn. You should be ashamed of yourself for what you did to your daughter's mother.

 

Anne tried to give you a son but because of your fall in January 1536, she thought she had lost you for good. Because of the awful thought that she had lost her beloved husband Ann King, that caused her to lose the baby. Which was yours she never laid with another man she only laid with her husband which was you.

 

I hope God had mercy for you and how you murdered innocent human being in a woman who loved you dearly.

you're very disappointed fan
