Mary is in love again, but it is a forbidden love. He is William Stafford and he is a stable hand for Mary’s uncle. But with Anne married and pregnant with the king’s child, Mary thinks that nobody will notice if she leaves, because she is so very unhappy at court since William left. So she takes of, unaccompanied, and goes to find her one true love. After riding for days on end, Mary finally reaches her destination. When William first lays eyes on her he thinks that she is there because she was banished from court for some reason and is only then coming back to him, but he is sadly mistaken. She tells him that nothing is wrong at court, she just couldn’t stand not being with him and she wants to be married. William warns her, “I have nothing,’ he warned me ‘I am a nobody as you rightly said.” But Mary didn’t care, and at the moment they were nobodies together. The next day the local priest married them. But the happiness couldn’t last forever; Mary was soon called back to court by her sister and new Queen of England. Anne was about to go into labor and needed the help of her sister. So Mary, forced to come home, but with that newly wedded glow about her returned to court. When Mary arrived, Anne was going into labor. But Mary was surprised to see that princess Mary, Queen Katherine’s daughter, was there to help with this oncoming, foreseeable difficult labor. The whole country was waiting to see if this new queen could give Henry the heir he had thrown he way for.
