Book Review: "Henry VIII: King and Court" by Alison Weir (Pt. 6)
Henry finally had a son and yet, it isn't the way we think. It was his mistress who gave birth to a child named Henry who would, in time become a member of the royal household because Henry was so insecure about the Kingship and whether it would continue. Alison Weir frames this as a situation that undoes Catherine of Aragon a bit due to the fact it puts her daughter, Mary Tudor, into peril for her own future. A legitimate daughter who must play second place to a child that was not born in wedlock? She was very upset. As we know, everyone still hates Wolsey but now, even the King is starting to suspect that perhaps, this man has too much power. When it comes to bringing the little boy into the royal household, the King is starting to notice the bickering amongst his men.
