When the king seeks to set aside his wife Catherine of Aragon for his new love, Anne Boleyn- Thomas Howard’s own niece – Elizabeth supports the queen. Elizabeth Stafford is forced to put aside her own love by her parents so that she can marry the Duke of Norfolk, but though she loves him the two never cease to quarrel.
A coldness settles into Thomas which will only grow throughout the rest of his life. One after another, the children succumb to illness, and eventually even Thomas’ beloved princess dies in sickbed. Their years together are happy as one child after another is born, but the happiness doesn’t last. They’re head over heels in love with each other, and the princess’ childish belief in fairies amuses the young man. Thomas’ fortune changes when as a teenager, he marries Anne Plantagenet, a princess. His domineering grandfather beats him, but this was nothing compared to the emotional abuse he heaps upon young Thomas. The childhood of the third duke of Norfolk, Thomas Howard, is an unhappy one.
