Mary Tudor

Here آپ are an extract from queen Mary I of England's last will and testament: she speaks about her dearest jewels, her lords, the Emperador and her husband, king Philip II. I really hope you'll enjoy this!

And I do humbly beseech my کہا most dearest lord and husband to accept of my bequest and to keep for a memory of me one jewel, being a میز, جدول diamond, which the emperor’s majesty, his and my most honourable father, sent unto me سے طرف کی the Count d’Egmont, at the insurance of my کہا lord and husband, and also one other میز, جدول diamond which his majesty sent unto me سے طرف کی the Marquis de les Nanes, and the کالر of سونا set with nine diamonds, the which his majesty gave me the Epiphany after our marriage, also the ruby now set in a سونا ring, which his highness sent me سے طرف کی the Count of Feria, all which things I require his majesty to dispose of at his pleasure, and, if his highness think meet, to the issue between us.

Darling, I heartily recommend me to you, ascertaining آپ that I am not a little perplexed with such things as your brother shall on my part declare unto you, to whom I pray آپ give full credence, for it were too long to write. In my last letters I writ to آپ that I trusted shortly to see you, which is better known at London than with any that is about me, whereof I not a little marvel; but lack of discreet handling must needs be the cause
thereof. No مزید to آپ at this time, but that I trust shortly our meetings shall not depend upon other men’s light handlings, but upon our own.

Written with the hand of him that
longeth to be yours.
