  2. Poor poor Ann this fair young prince would have saved her life, she had indeed miscarried of her saviour, and to the supporters of the kings first wife, it must have seemed like divine judgement for it happened on the day Katherine was laid to rest, yes had she delivered the baby and the foetus was said to be male, Henry would not have the need to rid himself of her, her position as his queen would have been secure and his ever waning love would have resurrected again as he gazed on the sweet face of his newborn, Anne would have scoffed at her enemies and how she would have enjoyed baiting Cromwell, we can only imagine how history would have turned out Anne’s son could well have turned out to be a glorious ruler, but princes had a habit of dying young, he could well have succumbed to some disease maybe caused in part by his Tudor heritage, which had seen Prince Arthur his half brother Henry Fitzroy and later Edward V1 fall victim to, of course Edward would not have existed unless maybe Anne and Henry would have named their son so, then he to would have been Edward V1 instead of Jane Seymour’s, fascinating to contemplate what this lost son of Henry V111 and Anne Boleyn would have been like, his physical features his colouring would he have excelled on the tennis court at the joust at hunting like his iconic father? Would he have possessed the Tudor academic mind for learning for languages and poetry and music? I believe he would have been no dullard for his parents were both extraordinary intelligent people, had he lived and gone on to rule of course there would have been no reformation but he may have leaned towards it somehow, his mother may have influenced her evangelism onto him, but Mary nor Elizabeth would have ruled, there would have been no burnings at Smithfield, no persecutions and no golden age under Elizabeth, but there may well have been one under this prince!
