| Your Most Gracious Majesty,
Perhaps your daughter Cordelia has mentioned me, perhaps not. I am Princess Francesca of Italy and I have become good friends with Princess Cordelia within these past few months. I am wondering, with your permission of course, that Princess Cordelia could travel with me to Navarre for a retreat. You would have my word as a Princess that she would be taken cared of and no harm would come her way. She is like the sister I never had. I eagerly await your response.
Most Humbly,
HRH Princess Francesca of Italy Lady Monroe of Scotland Royal Cousin to the House of Aragon | |

| My lady Benedetti, I heard about you from my daughter Cordelia. She talked me about your kindness and friendship you showed her. Your family and mine are friends since long time. Then, there is nothing I wish more than you can become a close friend to my daughter Cordelia. I allow you my permission to bring her in Navarre with you. Just take care of her health. Also, I invite you in England. I'd like to know you better, Royal Highness
Respectfully
Henry VIII Tudor King of England | |

| My Lady,
considering recent news I heard about you, I consider my alliance with the Kingdom of Navarre broken. The same about my friendship with your father. I remind you that I sent my best troops in order to defend your husband's crown. And unless your new husband is the Pope himself, you had no right to break a royal marriage without any consent

| Your Majesty,
I was told that my marriage was annulled. Is it not the truth? If so, I would be more than happy to return to Navarre and to Henry's side. I still love him with all that I am and wish for nothing more for this to be figured out.

| My Lady,
I'm going to appoint myself as Supreme Head of Church. Since now, I'm the only one who can declare a marriage annulled. Especially a royal marriage, arranged by your father with my approval. Also, I have proves that King Martin never gave his consent. I'm expecting explainations about that

| Your Majesty,
From the way it seems, my marriage to the King of Navarre is still legal and valid? To be perfectly honest, I hope it is valid as I miss him so much. Our daughter cries for her mommy and daddy to be together again. I never wished for anything to happen. I only want to do whats right and be with my legal husband. I wish to repair our friendship in anyway possible.
As for Martin, I do not know what happened there. All I know is that he is married to my cousin Sancha of Aragon.
Humbly,
Princess Francesca | |

| My Lady,
your loyal husband, the King of Navarre, never gave his consent to annullment. And if there is a document saying that, it is surely false. This means that your marriage is still valid in God's eyes. Then, I declaire your marriage with the Duke of Genoa invalid. You're then invited to come back to your loyal husband and to your Kingdom

| Your Majesty,
I am sure that you have heard of the annulment of my marriage to the King of Navarre and my subsequent exile. I am currently back in Italy although it just doesn't feel the same no more. I lost everything: My husband, his love, especially my daughter. I am not allowed to see my little girl and it is tearing me apart each day that passes.
I do not blame you of you are disgusted with e as well. Everyone else is, its just I just need a friend....
Sincerely,
Francesca | |

| Your Majesty,
Nothing would make me more happy than to be with Henry again. Our case is so special, we fell in love, just like you and the Lady Anne. I know that he still loves me but I am beginning to lost hope of any type f reconciliation. If only he would sit down with me alone so we could talk.
Any support that you need with the Lady Anne, I am here, don't forget that.
Sincerely,
Francesca | |
