Palace's Entrance

I was walking along the Palace´s entrance.
I was remembering the time when my mother was the queen of Navarre.
She had died a few years ago, and now I am the king.
My wife is King Francis of France´s sister.
We have one daughter, her name is Juana.
.Juana is my heir, she is still a girl.

As I walk, I think ...My kingdom is small and it is threatened by the Spanish...
I have several sisters, Anne,Catherine, Madeleine,Jeanne, Bienaventurada, Quiteria and Isabella and three brothers, Martin, Charles and Francis.

When I came to Navarra, the sky was cloudy.I was very sad, my sister had died.
I got out the carriage, and the servants announced my arrival.
I was dressed in black and not wore no jewels.
I remembered my childhood and my mother, Queen Catalina I.

I was in my room and a servant told me that my sister Quiteria, had arrived.
Immediately I went to meet with her, looked at her and hugged her strongly

"Querida hermana"

I told her in Spanish, and we entered the palace

As I walk around this beautiful castle I find the entrance as I gaze upwards to see the paintings I smile to myself

I arrived in Navarre on businesses. Although I really didn't want to leave Charlotte due to her giving birth any day. I walked along the cobblestones toward the entrance hoping to make my trip fast.

I am walking about the Palace with Cordelia enjoying the fresh Navarrese air and sunshine. People walk about us, happy and merry. I do not see anyone out of the ordinary...

As I hear footsteps coming towards me I see a man hurrying I smile and step out of the way

Cordelia leaves me suddenly, leaving me alone and I do not mind. The Palace is beautiful and I can enjoy the sights by myself.

I notice two women, one leaves I then approach the other, who is quite beautiful. "Good day my lady, I'm looking for the Great Hall. Could you point me in that direction?" I say hoping she understands me.

The Palace? I point off to the right of me. It is right over there. My ladies giggle behind me, Your Highness is attracting men left and right. I roll my eyes. Please pay no mind to them as I think that they are jealous that they dont have men. I turn to them and glare. ....And you are?

I smiled at her although, I couldn't quite figure out her accent. "Oh please do forgive my manners, I'm Sir Anthony Knivert" I took her hand and kissed it.

Pleased to meet you. I smile as he kisses my hand. Such a gentleman. I am Princess Francesca, and I hail from Italy. My ladies pipe up again, She is the only daughter of the King and Queen of Italy. I turn around forcefully, Ladies go and prepare my things for departure for Italy tonight. I turn back around. What brings you to Navarre?

"A princess, well it is an honor to make your acquittance." I said after I heard her ladies speaking so highly of her. "I have come on business, I'm here to deliver a message to his majesty" I replied as I admired how beautiful she looked, so radiant and refreshed.

His Majesty is currently out gallavanting with my cousin Sancha of Aragon. I roll my eyes and shake my head. I must not let it bother me. I swear she hops from one bed to another. I am leaving for Tuscany tonight and perhaps I shall see you out there? I stare deep into his eyes...

As I decide to leave and return to England

As I wait for my carriage to take me back home once it pulls up I climb in and fall asleep

The Carriage arrived the court of Navarre.
She climb out and will look where she must go and with whom she must speak.

The king saw a carriage to reach the entrance of the palace.
a beautiful girl came out of the carriage...
Welcome to the palace, my lady...Who are you?
Henry asked, smiling politely

After twelve years of stay in Lorraine, Catalina returned to her native country.
She married the Duke of Lorraine, when her mother, the Queen of Navarre, was still alive.
She was the second of eleven children, of Queen Catalina and John of Albret.
Lady Catalina was a very sophisticated, very French, she was passionate about jewelry.
She received a letter from his brother, the King of Navarre, and she decided to visit the court of Navarre.
Her carriage stopped at the door of the palace and she lowered the carriage.
She smiled and looked at the palace.She was happy to return to Navarre

Henry saw the arrival of his sister and immediately, he went to meet her.
Querida, hermana
He said and gave her a big hug

cariño...te he echado mucho de menos....Catalina said and hugged him tenderly

As my carriage stops out the palace I step out as the warm air his me

Oh my....Elizabeth is that you? I say as I walk a bit closer to her. I have been out walking outside the palace as of late as my nausea is now gone. The fresh air has done me good.

I hear a voice behind me and drop in to a curtsy, and smile Majesty, how are you
