My lovely icon was made by the talented Jes89. Thank you so much!!!!!:-)

Hello there! My name is Jessica. I live in the state of Georgia, in the U.S.A. I'm a student in my twenties.
I like studying psychology, history, and foreign languages. I love fashion and ballet. I am fascinated with
tragic historical figures, such as Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and his family,
Bonnie and Clyde, and Queens Mary I, Mary of Scots, Katharine of Aragon, and Katheryn Howard.
I'm friendly and diplomatic. I try to see all sides to a story, and treat all opinions with respect.

I love period dramas!!!

Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh in the greatest epic dramas ever filmed, Gone With the Wind.

My favorite Wives of Henry VIII

I respect all of Henry's wives, but these three are my favorites:


Katharine of Aragon (Catalina de Aragon), "Queen of Hearts"	Katheryn Howard, "A rose without a thorn"	Catherine Parr
My ABSOLUTE favorite of all the Tudor queens! She was everything a queen should be: regal, dignified, and gracious. Despite all of the hell Henry put her through, she loved him until she died. She is a wonderful role model! R.I.P. Catalina!	She is one of my favorites because her story is really interesting to me. Even though she is depicted as being unintelligent, she was still a very kind person, who pleaded for the mercy of those that had fallen out of favor with the king. I pity her because she was a victim of her family's ambition. R.I.P. Kitty!	She was intelligent, and a wonderful stepmother to Elizabeth, Mary, and Edward. She helped to restore Mary and Elizabeth to the succession. R.I.P. Catherine!

The many loves of Henry VIII:

***Young Love***Passionate Love***True Love***

"My most dear lord, king and husband,
The hour of my death now drawing on, the tender love I owe you forceth me, my case being such, to commend myself to you, and to put you in remembrance with a few words of the health and safeguard of your soul which you ought to prefer before all worldly matters, and before the care and pampering of your body, for the which you have cast me into many calamities and yourself into many troubles. For my part, I pardon you everything, and I wish to devoutly pray God that He will pardon you also. For the rest, I commend unto you our daughter Mary, beseeching you to be a good father unto her, as I have heretofore desired. I entreat you also, on behalf of my maids, to give them marriage portions, which is not much, they being but three. For all my other servants I solicit the wages due them, and a year more, lest they be unprovided for. Lastly, I make this vow, that mine eyes desire you above all things."
Katharine the Quene.

Some of my favorite scenes from "The Tudors"

Queen Katherine of Aragon - The Tudors Wiki

Princess Margaret Tudor & Charles Brandon

Favorite Tudor couples


Charles and Margaret (Mary, in reality) had so much passion and intensity! Plus, the story of them marrying without Henry's permission is so romantic.	Unfortunately, "The Tudors" never showed Henry's marriage to KoA before it went sour. Henry and Jane were very cute together, though. Jane's death scene was one of the most heartwrenching scenes in the entire series. JRM's portrayal showed a completely broken Henry. Their relationship was a tender and loving one. Jane helped to bring together a broken family, and gave birth to the son Henry had so longed for.

Mary and Philip of Bavaria!!! They were so adorable! Lord knows that the poor girl deserved some happiness after everything she'd gone through. I just wish their happiness could have lasted...

Favorite Tudor Portrayals, outside of "The Tudors"

Keith Michell as Henry VIII in "The Six Wives of Henry VIII" and "Henry VIII and His Six Wives"
Annette Crosbie as Catherine of Aragon in "The Six Wives of Henry VIII"
Lynne Frederick as Kathryn Howard in "Henry VIII and His Six Wives"
Daphne Slater as Mary I in "Elizabeth R"
Glenda Jackson as Elizabeth I in "Elizabeth R" and "Mary, Queen of Scots"
Hugh Mitchell as Edward VI in "Henry VIII"
Vanessa Redgrave as Mary Stuart in "Mary, Queen of Scots"

Some other interesting and tragic historical figures:


Marie Antoinette, queen and wife of King Louis XVI of France	The Last Tsar of Russia Nicholas II, and his family: Tsarina Alexandra, Tsarevich Alexei, and Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia


Mary, Queen of Scots	Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker

Places where I would like to live:
