..because this will be set when Henry is hitting 40, or around there, when he was already a bit of a b*st*rd, and by the year Anne was executed was starting to look like he does in the history books. Interesting/gruesome fact about Henry; He was being transported from the Palace of Whitehall to Windsor Castle to be buried, and the particularly hot weather one day caused the huge, syphilitic, ulcerated, bloated body of the King to explode, showering mourners and passing peasants.

Back on topic though, I quite like that casting for the Boleyn sisters.

I had read that Henry's body was ravaged by dogs in the night... whether his coffin burst and the dogs got at him, or whether his body burst and the dogs tore at the coffin to get at him, I don't know.

what dougie just described would make a much better zombie movie. henry gets up and starts trawling for brains and the bolen sisters gotta save the day... oh... thats why i dont write history books. i was in this class once. we had to write these really really long reports on laws or something dumb. i thought "she or anyone else isnt going to read all of these"... so.. right in the middle i wrote in a bunch of nonsense about congress having bizarre rituals where they danced a jig and threw pies in each others faces.... among other things. turned it in... and got an A!

I prefer my story, and I trust my source, but I wouldn't mind finding middle ground. Perhaps dogs ate him during the night, and then they exploded! That would be a film!

...

How about Alien R., where the dogs eat Henry, who is carrying an Alien seed in him, and the dog eats it, and then explodes as the little Alien/Tudor hybrid comes bursting out of its chest?  The Alien then goes on to become England's greatest ruler...
