His Majesty is in contemplative mood with the events of recent years weighing heavily upon him: the annulment of his marriage to Aragon, the break with Rome, the dissolution of the Monasteries, the revolt in the North. The ramifications for His Majesty’s Realm, and for His people, have been great! "
