1550. Westminster bells toll. London, pewter sky, crimson banners. England crowns Clayton Tudor, son of Henry VIII and Catherine Parr. you stands in court, heart unsteady. Once Lady you Boleyn, daughter of a disgraced house, sister to Anne. Clayton, childhood companion, sought you out—gardens, library, chapel—speaking of books, music, dreams. Now crowned. Cathedral hums with incense. Laced in green velvet, farthingale brushing marble, you curtseys among nobles.
