I am currently reading Philippa Gregory's book, "The Queen's Fool" and although some of the book is VERY inaccurate, I can't help but wonder about her getting the relationship between both sisters as being dead on, in my opinion. I mean, u have Mary who is the center of her father's world until Anne Boleyn comes along, and then Mary is shipped off, not allowed to see her mother, even at her Katherine's death. Mary serves Elizabeth, and then Anne dies, and Mary takes care of her b/c she feels sorry for her and such.
Maybe the reason the two could not get along was b/c Mary could not forget the way Anne had treated her and her mother, and maybe all the remarks about how Elizabeth looked like Anne's lutist, Mark Smeaton stemmed from the fact that Mary looked more Spanish and more like her mother and Elizabeth looked more like her father?
I just thought this would be an interesting topic to discuss.

"Consorts both in throne and grave here rest we two sisters, Elizabeth and Mary, in the hope of one resurrection. " Lovely just lovely hopefully at the end they both rest in peace since in life they were made to be enemies in a way due to their religious believes and recentments thanks to the relationship of their parents....myself been so close to all my sisters can even imagine any other way.
