Is this the End? Life is Funny.

I hope The Tudors continues. I would hate to see it end!!! I suppose everyone has their own ideas about Henry VIII. With the end of Henry VIII approaching, I tried to imagine the last scene. In my mind, it should have a little ironic twist like this…. Henry VIII is on his death bed. He looks up to see the ghost of Anne Boleyn, Thomas Cromwell, John Lambert and William Tyndale. ...by <a href="/account/1103NEast" target="_self" title="1103NEast">1103NEast</a>

Henry VIII: I’m surprised to see you here. Why have you come to my death?

Anne: Your Grace executed me as a witch despite my church work.

Henry VIII: Oh, yes. I confessed that to Cranmer earlier.

Cromwell: You have me executed because Norfolk suspected I was a secret Lutheran.

Tyndale: I don’t believe we have met; but you had me burned at the stake for printing the Bible in English.

Lambert: You had me thrown into the fires at Smithfield for communion.

Henry VIII: I had rather expected to be greeted by Cardinal Wolsey or Sir Thomas More when I reached the hereafter.

Cromwell: Your Grace, they had to be excused for another appoint in the Catholic side of heaven.

Henry VIII: Then, are the four of you here to punish me?

Anne: Punish you? Or no, we are not here to punish you.

Cromwell: To the contrary, we have been sent to welcome you and honor your Majesty.

Henry VIII: I have always been a good Catholic.

Cromwell: Life is funny like that. You start off as one person and end up another.

Henry VIII: But, you said you were here to honor me.

Anne: Oh, Henry, don’t you see? All of us are Protestants which you had executed; and yet, from hence forth, you will always be known as the first protestant king of England.
