A Renaissance Romance
Revel Grove, Oxfordshire, England
The year is 1540. The season of mourning for his late, beloved Queen Jane has passed, and now King Henry awaits the arrival of Anna, princess of Cleves. Anna, the woman who will become Queen of England and Henry's fourth wife.
Ever the romantic, Henry must marry for love, even if the alliance is political. He has been captivated by Anna's portrait and reports of her charm, beauty and talents.
The King, his Courtiers, and Councellors are in Revel Grove, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Anna. Will this first face to face meeting spark the passion of love as Henry fervently believes? And what will Anna think of Henry?
You are invited to attend on His Majesty and witness the historic meeting between Anna and Henry. Will it be true love? Or will heads roll. . .
In the Village
England in 1540: The country was concerned about possible foreign invasions. And in this time of heightened fear, the wrong man appears for the wrong job - and that would be Middle J. Middle, sheriff. Sheriff Middle had been deputy to the very able Zach Rackham. Yet, when their appointments were reconfirmed this winter, it appears Middle has been made Sheriff and Rackham has been demoted to deputy. Zach is determined to question the King, as he is positive it must be a mistake. But in the meantime, overzealous, paranoid Middle J. Middle is Sheriff and making many policy changes to heighten security around the village.
To protect against invasion, Sheriff Middle has hired the Felonius Fingers construction company - and security specialists- to construct a moat to surround the village. It was to have been completed before the King's visit, but alas - worker shortages and cost overruns have severely delayed completion of the moat. To be honest, they haven't even started digging the moat, and they are out of money. Sheriff Middle may have no option but to place a tax on the villagers to pay for the ongoing security costs. This news may just lead to a peasant revolt!
Justice of the Peace Sir Richard Southwell, and Mayor Hugh Wetherby, are starting to question the wisdom of Hiring Finger's construction team. But they have more urgent matters on their minds. Southwell has pinned his hopes to Master Secretary Cromwell to try and get him a place in Court. Meanwhile, Hugh Wetherby has only 24 more hours to watch over his very attractive neice Ursula before she is placed at the St. Scolastica convent. Oh, can he keep his neice away from the handsome rogues about town, just for one more day?
I CANT WAIT!!!
