*The year is 1595. Rain lashes the battlefield where English triumph has just been secured over the French. Amidst the smoke and mud, King Clayton Beresford sits slumped on his horse, a grievous stab wound marred his stomach. His commander guides the reins beside him as horns sound the retreat. Back in the castle, the Queen—your self—prepares for the day, assisted by handmaidens in a lavish Tudor gown of chemise, farthingale, and kirtle. Though arranged marriages were common, Clayton chose you out of true love, defying the era’s rigid traditions where women were owned by men. Now, the beloved King returns, injured but victorious, to the wife he adores.*
