Royal Wedding: Princess Quiteria and Ricardo of Aragon

I received a letter from my stepbrother, Ricardo, Duke of Teruel.In the letter he narrated me he was going to marry Princess Quiteria of Navarre.Ricardo was a good man, He was brave and noble.

I decided to go out of Tordesillas and to travel to Navarre; the wedding was very important because wedding peace was signed between Aragoneses and Navarrese.
I went into the cathedral and I sat in a front row seat.
I heard murmurs of people...She is the Queen Joanna!, They said with surprise...

I have finally made my way to Navarre with my small retinue of servants and ladies. Weddings are the most joyous occasion and bond together two countries in good faith. I am announced in, Francesca, Royal Princess of Italy and Lady Monroe of Scotland.....and as I pass people, they bow and curtsy. I see Queen Joanna and immediately curtsy before I continue to walk to my seat in the third row...

I entered the cathedral.
The cathedral was beautiful.
A servant announced me: Isabella of Albret, princess of Navarre.
I walked down the aisle.I greeted the guests and I sat in the front seats.

Inigo entered in the Cathedral to attend wedding ceremony. He heard rumors about Princess Quiteria at english court. After sir Brandon's secret letter at spanish court, now she was going to marry Ricardo de Aragon. He was relative to Queen Katherine. He sat next to Quiteria's sister, Isabella, and smiled at her. Then he noticed Queen Joanna was there too and bowed with his head

Martin entered at the ceremony.Martin had a great love for his sister Quiteria, the love he had for his sister touched the infinite.
He long since knew nothing of her, He had heard rumors about Quiteria...and immediately he traveled from Bavaria to Navarre to attend the wedding.
He was willing to do anything for her sister to be happy.
Martin was a man without scruples and for him the family was the most important.
He greeted her Majesty Queen Joanna, and he sat next to her younger sister Isabella.

I saw the ambassador and immediately went to him.
"Mi queridisimo Iñigo" I said him at spanish...How is my sister?I long ago that I know nothing of her ...¿ella se encuentra bien?

Sister Ana was in the cathedral.She looked at everyone coldly.She hated the weddings That day she was there to control everyone and especially an issue that could disrupt the ceremony.
Sister Ana sat near the door, and she waited like a spider waiting for a fly.

Royal anthem rang and King Henry entered the cathedral.
"Henry II King Of Navarre, Bearne, Albret, Foix, Pamplona, Ribagorza and Basque Provinces"
A servant said.Henry walked down the aisle to the altar.He looked at a beautiful woman.She was a italian princess, her name was Francesca.Henry smiled at her.

Henry II of Navarre wrote:: Royal anthem rang and King Henry entered the cathedral.

A servant said.Henry walked down the aisle to the altar.He looked at a beautiful woman.She was a italian princess, her name was Francesca.Henry smiled at her.

I immediately bowed my head as King Henry passed by me. I have never seen such regalness in my life....not a bad thing...

Sancia entered the cathedral.She wore a beautiful dress.Sancia was a cousin of the Duke and she was his godmother at wedding.
Sancia was a very beautiful woman.She walked down the center aisle and she waited for Ricardo in the altar

Ricardo entered the cathedral...When he went people kept silent...
A servant announced his entry:
"Ricardo de Aragon, Duque de Teruel e infante de Aragon".
Ricardo walked toward the altar.On the altar was her godmother, Princess Sancia; he looked at Sancia, and smiled at her.

I looked at Ricardo, my sister was a fortunate woman, because he was a very handsome man.

I entered the cathedral.I wore a white silk dress...I thought of my mother.I looked at Ricardo, He was a handsome man and he had a noble heart...I walked to the altar...and I thought of Francis Bryan ...

Cesare walked into the church, his usual tanned skinned had tanned even more at the sighting of the Italian birth sun, his dark curls darkened and curled even more, in other words he would be classified as a god in fair England. Walking to his place, which was due to his title, his darkened eyes watched the ceremony.

Cesare began talking to the woman beside him, he laughed with her and touched her neck softly asif flirting, the whole church could of heard their laughs, he smiled, happy to be back in his homelands..

Cesare leaned forward "I need to see you in private after this." he whispered before leaning back in his chair again and watching the couple.

I sigh deeply, whispering, What for? To yell at me some more? I turn back around...

Cesare nodded "No, to have words." he said in a whisper for no one else to hear "And words that may affect our futures."

Yes I will meet you later I guess. I sigh, turning around once more but yet I smile. I fiddle with a jewel on my dress , anxious for this to start.

Inigo smiled at Queen Joanna as she spoke and nodded

Muy bien, Su Majestad. Gracias! Your sister is the stongest woman I have ever met. Even if the King is now acting against her, she never lost her faith...

He answered whispering, glancing at the ceremony

I was at the altar next to Ricardo, and I saw in the cathedral to the Duke of Genoa...He was extremely attractive.
I smiled at him and I winked roguishly.

I arrived to the altar.
Cardinal asked me: : Quiteria, royal princess of Navarre:Do you accept for your husband to Ricardo de Aragon, Duke of Teruel? ....
I thought of Francis ...
I looked at Ricardo....Yes. I said staring at him.

Ricardo saw at the ceremony the Princess Elizabeth of Denmark...His heart throbbed...
_"Ricardo de Aragon: will you take for a wife to Quiteria Princess of Navarre?".
Cardinal asked me ....
_"Yes"....I answered....

Quiteria and Ricardo kissed each other...
Martin looked at them jealous...his beloved sister had married....Martin approached them to congratulate them.
"I love sister...He said with tears of emotion, Martin gave a sweet kiss to his sister in the lips...you'll always be my princess....Martin said emotionally
