ambassador, Eustace Chapuys &lt;br&gt;1535&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;FONT size=-1&gt;&lt;b&gt;Background &lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;In this letter, Katharine writes to Eustace Chapuys, 
  the Imperial ambassador and her fervent ally against the annulment.&amp;nbsp; Upon 
  Katharine's request, Chapuys had asked Henry VIII if Katharine and Princess 
  Mary could meet.&amp;nbsp; The princess was ill and had not seen her mother for 
  four years.&amp;nbsp; Henry did not give his permission but he didn't explicitly 
  refuse either - and that gave Chapuys hope.&amp;nbsp; But Henry also warned the 
  ambassador that he feared both a popular uprising on Katharine's behalf and 
  the possibility of Princess Mary's escape to the Continent.&amp;nbsp; Chapuys 
  reassured the king that both mother and daughter were loyal subjects - but he 
  didn't mention his own attempts to persuade Katharine to lend support to an 
  uprising.&amp;nbsp; Both Henry and Chapuys were aware of the vast popular support 
  of both Katharine and Mary.&amp;nbsp; In the end, Katharine refused to countenance 
  a rebellion.&amp;nbsp; Certainly she disliked the idea of others dying on her 
  behalf, but she also would not disobey her husband.&amp;nbsp; This was at the core 
  of her character - a staunch and unwavering belief that she and Henry were 
  still husband and wife, and it was her duty to obey him in all things 
  excepting those which offended God.&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;FONT size=-1&gt;Katharine's 
  protests to Henry that she would never support a rebellion meant little to the 
  king.&amp;nbsp; He refused to allow mother and daughter to meet, much to their 
  mutual sorrow.&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;FONT size=-1&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;hr&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;Mine especial friend, &lt;BR&gt;You have greatly bound me with the 
    pains that you have taken in speaking with the king my lord concerning the 
    coming of my daughter unto me.&amp;nbsp; The reward you shall trust to have of 
    God; for (as you know) in me there is no power to gratify what you have 
    done, but only with my goodwill.&amp;nbsp; As touching the answer which has been 
    made you, that his highness is contented to send her to some place nigh me, 
    so as I do not see her, I pray you vouchsafe to give unto his highness mine 
    effectual thanks for the goodness which he shows to his daughter and mine, 
    and for the comfort that I have thereby received; as as to my seeing of her, 
    you shall certify that, if she were within one mile of me, I would not see 
    her.&amp;nbsp; For the time permitteth not that I should go about sights, and be 
    it that I would I could not, because I lack provision therefore. &lt;BR&gt;Howbeit, 
    you shall always say unto his highness that the thing which I desired was to 
    send her where I am; being assured that a little comfort and mirth, which 
    she should take with me, should undoubtedly be half a health to her.&amp;nbsp; I 
    have proved the like by experience, being diseased of the same infirmity, 
    and know how much good it may do that I say.&amp;nbsp; And, since I desired a 
    thing so just and reasonable, and that so much touched the honor and 
    conscience of the king my lord, I thought not it should have been denied me. 
    &lt;BR&gt;Let not, for my love, to do what you may that this may yet be 
    done.&amp;nbsp; Here have I, among others, heard that he had some suspicion of 
    the surety of her.&amp;nbsp; I cannot believe that a thing so far from reason 
    should pass from the royal heart of his highness; neither can I think that 
    he hath so little confidence in me.&amp;nbsp; If any such matter chance to be 
    communed of, I pray you say unto his highness that I am determined to die 
    (without doubt) in this realm; and that I, from henceforth, offer mine own 
    person for surety, to the intent that, if any such thing should be 
    attempted, that then he do justice of me, as of the most evil woman that 
    ever was born. &lt;BR&gt;The residue I remit to your good wisdom and judgment as 
    unto a trusty friend, to whom I pray God give health. &lt;BR&gt;Katharine the 
    Queen.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
