The Tudors Blog

I wish the Tudors would continue on! I suppose everyone has their own ideas about Henry VIII. With the end of the series approaching, I tried to imagine the last scene. In my mind, it should have a little ironic twist like this….

Henry VIII is on his death bed. He looks up to see the ghost of Anne Boleyn, Thomas Cromwell, John Lambert and William Tyndale.

Henry VIII: I’m surprised to see you here.

Anne: Your Grace executed me as a witch despite my church work.

Henry VIII: Oh, yes. I confessed that to Cranmer earlier.

Cromwell: You have me executed because Norfolk suspected I was a secret Lutheran.

Tyndale: I don’t believe we have met; but you had me burned at the stake for printing the Bible in English.

Lambert: You had me thrown into the fires at Smithfield for communion.

Henry VIII: I had rather expected to be greeted by Cardinal Wolsey or Sir Thomas More when I reached the hereafter.

Cromwell: Your Grace, they had to be excused for another appoint in the Catholic side of heaven.

Henry VIII: Then, are the four of you here to punish me?

Anne: Punish you? Or no, we are not here to punish you.

Cromwell: To the contrary, we have been sent to welcome you and honor your Majesty.

Henry VIII: I have always been a good Catholic.

Cromwell: Life is funny like that. You start off as one person and end up another.

Henry VIII: But, you said you were here to honor me.

Anne: Oh, Henry, don’t you see? All of us are Protestants which you had executed; any yet, from hence forth, you will always be known as the first protestant king of England.
