Letters between Duchess of Lancaster and Prince Edward

Your Highness,

Your may be a Prince but my daughter is my daughter. She will not touch Scottish soil whilst she is with child, if you are so up for seeing her and her little bump come to Lancaster where i can keep my eye on you especially or go to Thornbury, either way either me or my son will watch you as we don't trust you since you let her with child, we should have never contracted her to you..never trust the Scottish them, words are right.

Her Grace,
Duchess of Lancaster
Jane Bassett.

Your Grace,

I didnt abandon your daughter. Your people were either too blind or too stupid to find that I was precontracted to marry another, thus making our marriage invalid. If my child is not able to see me, England will have a war on their hands. Never trust pretenders is what us scottish say.

Sincerely,

HRH Prince Edward of Scotland

Your Highness,

Why put war upon English hands? It is not Englands fault that my daughter wishes to keep her child. We should come up with an agreement, but i do not trust you Scottish enough to let my daughter go to Scotland, she is too precious to me.

Her Grace,
Duchess of Lancaster
Jane Bassett.

Your Grace,

My child with Elizabeth, once born, will be the heir to Scotland's throne and the child will grow up in Scotland and receive a princely education. My brother refuses to have the possible next king or queen of Scotland to grow up in England. King Henry has been informed of Scotland's intentions when it comes to my child....

Sincerely,

HRH Prince Edward of Scotland

Your Highness,

And what if its a girl? Will it be treated the same? Why don't you have your own child with Cordelia and let us keep the child, it is more easier for us all. Do you not think it is cruel to make a young babe to be parted from its mother? surely the child will grow sick.

Her Grace,
Duchess of Lancaster
Jane Bassett.

Your Grace,

Scotland is not under Salic Law and a girl is allowed to inherit. If the child doesnt come to Scotland, be prepared for troops to invade. Im sure you dont want it...

King Henry cancelled the agreement of marriage between Cordelia and I.

Sincerely,

HRH Prince Edward of Scotland

Your Highness,

But Cordelia has left court from what i have heard, so there is only one place at where she could be. Anyways, my daughter should atleast have some bonding time with her child.

Her Grace,
Duchess of Lancaster
Jane Bassett.

Your Grace,

I would never deny Elizabeth that right but the child will grow up here in Scotland and can go to England on holiday. Cordelia is mostblikely at Ludlow as I haven't seen her.

Sincerely,

HRH Prince Edward of Scotland

Your Highness,

I cannot talk though letters as i am being watched because of Thomas Boleyn, if you come to Lancaster i can have Elizabeth come too and we can sort this out.

Her Grace,
Duchess of Lancaster
Jane Bassett.

Your Grace,

I have been banished from England for the time being so you both would have to come to Scotland.

Sincerely,

HRH Prince Edward of Scotland

Your Highness,

You swear if we come to Scotland you would let us back out again?

Her Grace,
Duchess of Lancaster
Jane Bassett

Your Grace,

I wouldnt force you to stay. We need to come to some sort of agreement over the baby. Scotland's terms are firm.

Sincerely,

HRH Prince Edward of Scotland

Your Highness,

I and Elizabeth will come to Scotland, i will be there soon.

Her Grace
Duchess of Lancaster,
Jane Bassett.

Your Grace,

I have rooms prepared for you both.

Edward
