the story of the bastard monarch
*****************
It was my impression the Ann and Henry were actually married when Liz was
conceived, and that cutting someone's head off for supposed adultery is different
from an annulment.
She was illegitimised by Act of Parliament (along with Mary) when Henry
married Jane Seymour, to make sure any children he had with Jane would
take precedence, even if it hadn't been a boy. But that was repealed
later, I can't remember when but she would have done it when she came to
the throne herself, if it hadn't been done before.
" Judging by the picture that accompanies the article (a heavy purple
moire gown cut beautifully but lacking any decoration)..."
My first thought was, surely that shade of purple wasn't invented until
the 19th century?
