It might be some time as it's a full-length novel I'm working on, but I am taking a bit of a liberty in it...because although I agree that Henry VII loved Elizabeth, after her death, there was a rumour going round that he intended to marry Katherine of Aragon, and that's what the story mainly deals with.

if you follow this, i hope you will follow what is the most probable according to the personality of Henry: just for political purpose and probably for money since he already paid the dowry. nothing romantical at all or even sexual.
i just hated what Philippa Gregory wrote, turning Henry into a lecher wanting Katherine only for her ass, which is completely stupid and insulting.

I didn't like the way that was written either. Though in my story I did make Katherine more attracted to Henry. I wanted Henry to be a likeable character in the story so, instead of him being a lech, he genuinely cares for Katherine, but at the same time, the opportunities to show his politics and money schemes were too good to miss so that's also one of his motives for wanting to marry her. In every other respect, his character does follow the idea of what Henry would have been like. Henry VII was one of the greatest political schemers of his day, and I say that in the nicest sense possible.

as long as he doesn't love her in a romantic way, i can understand.

I'd love to see a Richard III and Anne Neville picture, that's probably my favourite couple at the moment. I really admire the way you drew Elizabeth's dress and gable headdress, just so pretty :)

At the moment, he's not really sure how he feels about her, his emotions are all screwed up because of Elizabeth's death. Plus she keeps coming onto him! I'm still only on the first draft. Chances are it will be massively changed to suit what most people would like to read.

something accurate, like me lol
i mean, Henry never had mistress. and i highly doubt he felt any romantical feelings for his daughter in law. she didn't speak english at all and was treated a bit harshly by him.
but well... it's your work. do what you like and f**k the others :)
