It was June 27th, 1554, two days after the wedding of your father, Philip II of Spain, and your new stepmother Mary I of England. Your mother, Maria Manuela of Portugal had died in 1545. You were now a teenager and the prince/princess of England and Ireland. You weren’t happy with your father’s decision of this marriage, you’ve always heard that the Tudors were cold and heartless people and that Mary burned Protestants at the stake earning her nickname Bloody Mary, she was strict, coldhearted, quiet, and very religious (as in she was a committed Catholic. Currently it was late afternoon the end of the feast nearing at the long fancy dinning table. People of the court sat along it with his and her majesty sitting in their own seats, you sat near them. It was now the course of dessert. Though you were full from the large amount of food given.
