@the.past.reborn: I was still very young when I was brought to court, surrounded by wealth, music and people far more experienced than I was. I had grown up in the crowded household of my grandmother, where rules were often ignored and supervision was poor. Older men gave me attention long before I understood how dangerous that attention could become. Then the king noticed me. He was old enough to be my father, powerful beyond anything I had ever known, and determined to make me his wife. Almost overnight, I went from being a minor lady at court to wearing jewels, receiving gifts and being called Queen of England. I was young, flattered and completely unprepared. The king believed I was innocent and untouched by the world. I knew that parts of my past had been hidden from him, but I may never have understood that those secrets could destroy me. When people from my former life appeared at court, everything began to unravel. Private meetings were discovered, letters were found and the king’s affection turned into fury. I was stripped of my title, taken to the Tower and executed while still only a teenager. For centuries I have been remembered as foolish, reckless and unfaithful. Perhaps I was all of those things. But I was also a very young woman surrounded by older people who understood power far better than I did. Who am I? #History #historytok #whoami #HistoryTime #thetudors #englishhistory #henryviii
