this shall be to advertise you of the great ellingness that I find here since your departing...
I beseech you now with all my heart definitely to let me know your whole mind as to the love between us;
for I must of necessity obtain this answer of you, having been for above a whole year stricken with the dart of love, and not yet sure whether I shall fail, or find a place in your heart and affection.
If you will give up yourself, body and heart, to me,
I promise you that I will take you for my only mistress, casting off all others besides you out of my thoughts and affection.
Written with the hand of him who would willingly remain yours."
👑 'H.R.(Henricus Rex)'
King Henry VIII of England once swore eternal devotion to Anne Boleyn, even reshaping the nation's religion to win her heart.
Yet, this fiery passion culminated in history's most chilling betrayal.
⚔️ Not even a decade later, on the morning of May 19, 1536, Anne stood upon the scaffold at the Tower of London. Having failed to bear a male heir, she was callously framed for treason and adultery by the very man who had begged for her love.
The King's final gift to the woman he swore would be "yours forever" was the razor-sharp blade of a French swordsman. The world's most passionate courtship met its cold, definitive end upon the executioner's block.
