I was just thinking, i know Jane tried to get Mary reinstated as princess. What if any feelings did she have for Elizabeth? Was she treated well or ignored as the bastard Henry unjustifiably made her out to be?? Elizabeth was only three when everything happened. I wonder how she was treated.

"I was just thinking, i know Jane tried to get Mary reinstated as princess. What if any feelings did she have for Elizabeth? Was she treated well or ignored as the bastard Henry unjustifiably made her out to be?? Elizabeth was only three when everything happened. I wonder how she was treated." You know, Fraser, pg. 269 gives a tantalizing hint that Elizabeth, too may have been brought back to court. The passage is so brief it could easliy be missed. She says, 'As for Elizabeth, the King was described as being 'very affectionate' toward his little "Madam Ysabeau' : the verdict of the court was that he 'loves her very much.' Fraser's source is the Letters and Papers of Henry VIII. She says nothing about Jane's relations with Elizabeth other than that 'Queen Jane's role was to be that benevolent 'mother' to both princesses (the word stepmother was not used) which indeed she showed herself.' By the way, I found this thread by looking on your profile. i couldn't find it on the discussion threads page. Maybe I need new eyeglasses?
