arranged a union with a future king of England, Arthur Tudor
(1486-1502), the Prince of Wales.
- Plans for their marriage began when he was age
3.
- It was so that Spain and England could form an
alliance against France.
- Her mother helped her learn the
English language along with the virtues of piety and grace and
she was trained to be the perfect queen.
- She sailed alone
to her new home and storms delayed the voyage so they landed
in Plymouth, England, on October 2, 1501, and Catherine never saw her homeland
Spain again.

and Master mind |
- Catherine's future husband, Arthur Tudor, Prince of Wales, was the eldest son of King Henry VII of England and Elizabeth of York, and an older brother to the future King Henry VIII.
- Arthur was Duke of Cornwall from birth, and he was created Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester in 1489.
- As the heir apparent of his father, Arthur was viewed by contemporaries as the great hope of the newly established House of Tudor.
- Arthur's mother was the daughter of the Yorkist king,
Edward IV, and his birth cemented the union between the House
of Lancaster and the House of York of the Plantagenet line.
- However, Arthur was really Theotos/Theletos, the youngest Aeon in
heaven and the son of the Most High Father and Sophia.
River of
Forgetfulness |
- Only Theotos began hanging around with Lucifer and Satan
(Musk) when
they tried taking over the galaxy Omega Centauri.
- When
the Most High Father banished both of them from Omega Centauri, they
jumped to the center nucleus, Earth, with 200 fallen angels
they brought with them from Alpha Centauri.
- Theotos who
had not been banished
followed them with another 200 fallen angels from Omega
Centauri.
- Theotos was a very sweet child and he was
originally Jesus Christ in heaven, but Lucifer stole his part and
created a clone of himself and named him Theotos (played by
Trump on Earth as Armilus) and Lucifer himself took on the
role of Jesus Christ.
- He more or less split Theotos in
two.
- So when
Theotos jumped, he had already been replaced with a clone by Lucifer, only the
Most High Father never knew that until he figured it out
recently.
Arthur Tudor age 14 |
- On Earth, Lucifer called himself the 'Son of God'
but he really created himself and Satan
after he watched Sophia build the universe out of protons,
neutrons and electrons, only he made himself in the image of
Baphomet, all wrong.
- At that point, the real Theotos (Arthur) was
out of a job,
- Additionally, the Most High Father lost
most of his power when Sophia left heaven except none of the
angels knew they would be trapped on Earth for millions of
years so she thought she would be right back.
- The real Arthur came to Earth and he settled in
Denmark but he was born in his new life to a king and he was
an illegitimate prince named Hans.
- As a child, he was
kidnapped by Henry VII who wanted a male heir.
Tudor throne in the
Tower of London |
- Therefore Arthur was heir to the Tudor throne and he was married to
Catherine of Aragon (1485-1536) in 1501 when she was age 16
and he was 14.
- The marriage secured an important diplomatic link between England and both Spain and the Habsburg empire.
- Unfortunately, Arthur supposedly died in 1502 at age 17 of sweating sickness after 6 months of
marriage.
- Except he didn't really die, that's the part no
one knows about.
- He was sweating because he was bullied
by his father, King Henry VII and his younger brother, the
future Henry VIII, so he left and no one ever knew where he
went or what happened to him.
- Since
Arthur was born in Denmark as Prince John (Hans) and was stolen at
birth, more than likely he went back to Denmark.
John (or Hans), Prince of Denmark
engraved as Arthur, Prince of Wales |
- The son of the shoemaker and the washerwoman is born in poverty, so ugly that he has no friends
but he is watched by a guardian angel and grows up to become wealthy and famous.
- It turns out that he is really the child of a king.
- A fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen?
Perhaps not.
- New research supports the theory that this was the secret, real-life story of Andersen, creator of
The Ugly Duckling, The Emperor’s New Clothes and other tales.
- Historian Jens Jorgensen said the writer, who died in 1875 at the age of 70, was probably the illegitimate child of Denmark’s crown prince and later king, Christian VIII,
except this is not true.
- Because instead, Hans Christian
Anderson was telling a real story about the illegitimate son
of a Danish king who was hidden away and then later
disappeared, he was stolen.
- In fact, a recent uncovering of his 'tomb'
has discovered the vault beneath the chantry in Worcester Cathedral where Arthur's remains
were buried is a 'double vault', but contains only one set of remains.
- His heart his, bowels and internal organs were
supposedly removed during embalming) and buried separately at St Laurence's Church in Ludlow, Shropshire.
-
His tomb contains no grand effigy or gilded canopy, unlike the
grand tomb's of his father and brother, even the inscription
is understated.
- It's likely the tomb had a brass
placed on top of it (except no one wants to admit that Arthur
is missing).
- The actual grave under the cathedral floor
has never been physically opened or excavated; it was only
scanned using non-invasive radar technology.
|
The prince was put to rest to the right of the altar. Two years after his death his father paid for a chantry chapel to be built in his honor and for prayers to be said for his soul. The tomb that is placed in the chantry is believed now to just be symbolic as after testing they believe his coffin to be under the floor beside the chantry chapel. (TudorHistory)
|
One of the defaced
statues turned out
to be Edward II |
- Radar located a likely tomb under the floor several feet from the prince's tomb chest, which was built 20 years after his death
because his trusted servant Gruffydd Ap Rhys died and was interred within feet of Arthur's tomb watching over him even in death..
- The radar revealed that the soil had been infilled, but
not whether there were any remains inside and the chantry that
was built 2 years after his death has defaced statues only now
they know one of them was Edward II.
- On top of that, the
funeral itself was very understated, in fact, low cost
compared to other royals.
- So where are the bones?
|
An archeologist found it odd that when Prince Arthur was ill, he was sent to the cold ludlow castle. Historians say "He wasn't a strong character, unlike his younger brother. Could it be that his father was strong enough to see that the best interests of the Tudors were to be served by Henry Duke of York, rather than Arthur?" (TheRoyalForums)
|
Catherine's seal |
- There is some speculation that since Arthur wasn't
Henry VIIs real son, he moved him out of the way so that Henry
VIII could be king, especially since he was a rather delicate
character, very different than Henry.
- When Henry VII kidnapped him from Denmark, he was
desperate for a son, but then Henry VIII was born and Arthur
was considered weak next to him.
- Catherine swore the marriage had not been
consummated and she suddenly found herself stranded and
abandoned in a
foreign court.

- OK, so he must have showed up again because he died in
Gilbert, Arizona, in December 2008, at age 71 everyone was
questioning if Dean did something to him.
- Ronald
was the son of Robert Farrell (1914-1968) commercial
artist/bus driver and Margaret A. Klock (1918-2011) and born in Amsterdam, Montgomery, New York.
- Sophia only recently realized how much they looked alike
because they're shapeshifters!

- But there's more, Dean showed up in one of Sophia's
dreams about 2 years ago standing about 10 feet away and he
looked at her and seemed genuinely shocked and he said, 'I
think she saw me.'
- In case you don't know, if someone
shows up in your dream and looks startled and uncomfortable,
that means their story has been revealed which is not a good
thing (for them).
- Sophia actually worked with Dean for
several years and he taught her about Windows Visual Basic
programming to create early distributed applications and she
was very thankful for his help.
- No doubt he's at genius
level and he was a nice guy, or at least he appeared to be, as
was his father Ronald, very congenial.
- Then Dean left he start his own company
and his father Ronald retired and Sophia never saw either of
them again until Dean turned up in her dreams
many years later.
- Anyway, about a month ago, Dean
showed up in a 2nd dream and he was attempting to program a
Visual Basic event.
- Sophia woke up partway through the
dream and realized that he was trying to turn her into an AI
server.
- It sounds crazy, but it's real and the Most High
Father directed Sophia to write about it.
Meet Dean Farrell
12/7/2017 |
- The dream began with Dean showing another co-worker,
who also appeared in many dreams and is also a fallen angel,
how to cook meat with a a VB event??
- The very first
thought that Sophia had was realization that our brain is its
own self-contained O/S (operating system) and CPU (central
processing unit) which means there are no connections, not
even wireless, to any
mainframe or server because it doesn't need any, so what the
heck was he trying to do.
- He had her desperately searching
for a way to accomplish this and she kept hearing him
screaming EVENT EVENT EVENT.
- The Most High Father, who is always with her because he's
her soulmate, saw her coding and thought it was pretty neat and
told her that she should check into how to hook that up because it
might come in handy if you use it as an alarm clock or that
kind of thing.
Early 2000s when Sophia worked with him
Wearing halo and wings |
- But the Most High Father doesn't know anything about computer code
so Sophia let him know and she told him, 'NO, he's trying to turn
my brain into a server, PLEASE, don't let that happen.'
-
Father felt horrible and immediately backed off and listened
to Sophia's logic and automatically understood what was going
on and felt bad he suggested looking into how to hook this
function up.
- But at the
same time, he's also been waiting for something like this to
happen he just didn't know how it would happen.
- And
haven't we all?
- Except, turns out, the only one these
creeps have been working on is Sophia, not the rest of
humanity like Father originally thought because they already
have spent 2 million years 'engineering' her and use her as
their 'looking glass.'
- Her guardian angel let her know
that she's the sole extent of everything they've been doing in
this world along those lines, in attempt to keep her
suppressed and steal all her energy because Sophia IS their
primary energy source.

Soulless demon |
- Amazing as all this is, Sophia had another
dream the very next night with Elon Musk.
- She was sitting
down at a table and appeared to be coding
something, and she stopped in her tracks, and upon waking
quickly realized what was going on.
- Except Elon's a lousy
programmer so he wasn't shouting anything but he had Sophia
working hard.
- So once again, Sophia made a plea asking
for protection from the Most High Father.
- A day later Musk showed up again in yet another dream and
he was in an appliance store purchasing a
deep freezer to stash Sophia in because he knew Father stopped
all the coding and wouldn't allow it.
- So instead, he
thought he could put her in deep freeze but that was stopped
too but not before Sophia saw him standing in a whole line of
freezers picking one out and the Most High Father figured this
part out because Sophia thought it was a server case.
- But here's the thing, apparently Theotos was mad
when these creeps stole his role so he JOINED IN and Father is
still reeling from it.
Crown coin |
- In June 1503, a marriage contract was
arranged between 11-year-old Prince Henry and 17-year-old
Catherine and the wedding was set to happen in 2 years time.
- But nothing was straightforward and a condition of her
marriage was that her father, King Ferdinand, provide 100,000
crowns in plate, jewels and coins as a dowry in advance. but by
1505 this had not been received so the date of the wedding
came and went.
Marriage on June 11,
1509 |
- The stalemate between Henry VII and Ferdinand
continued and Catherine by then was 20 years old.
- Several years passed and Catherine hung in
limbo and short of money, her household was sinking into debt
so desperate, she wrote to her father appealing for help.
-
She sold her bracelets to buy a robe because she said she was
almost naked and later she wrote that she didn't have money
for food.
- The standoff continued for 3 more years, and
Henry VII kept Catherine penniless and made no promises about
her future.
- Catherine of Aragon was so isolated and desperate, she
even considered ending her life.
Greenwich Palace |
- Then on April 7, 1509, Henry VII died of tuberculosis
and within hours, his 17-year-old son was proclaimed Henry
VIII.
- As England's
most eligible bachelor, he was free to choose his own bride
and he wanted a queen who could help him bring glory to
England and produce healthy sons.
- After enduing 7 years
of heartbreak and hardship, Henry VIII chose Catherine and the two married
so now she
was finally queen.
- Unfortunately, Henry took the marriage
vow but didn't honor them.

The Lost Castle
Age 17 |
- In 1509 at age 23, Catherine married Arthur's younger brother, Henry
VIII, who automatically fell next in line for the throne
after Arthur's death.
- After Henry VIII married Catherine, they lived happily for several years
but he was obsessed right from
the very beginning with giving birth to a male heir because
the Tudor link to the throne was so tenuous.
- His father, Henry VII had very weak links to royalty and he
usurped the English throne in a battle to gain the crown and
he's considered a fraudulent king.
- So
Henry VIII was intent on siring a male heir to strengthen the
link to the throne.
- He was worried that the Tudor reign
would be overthrown if that didn't happen.
January 1511 |
- Supposedly, Henry and Catherine were very much in love
and had the personalities and popularity to launch a legendary
royal dynasty but in order to have a dynasty, they needed to
have children.
- Their first daughter was stillborn, however, at
age 26 in 1511, Catherine gave birth to her first son, Prince
Henry, Duke of Cornwell, but he
died when he was 52 days old followed by 2 more stillborn
males.
-
Unfortunately, after she married Henry VIII she did not give birth to a male heir
that survived despite a total of 6 pregnancies.
- After 6
years of marriage, Catherine went into confinement with high
hopes she would give birth to a male to continue on the
dynasty.

- He was heir to and then head of the rising House of Habsburg. His dominions in Europe included the Holy Roman Empire, extending from Germany to northern Italy with rule over the Austrian hereditary lands and Burgundian Low Countries, and Spain with its possessions of the southern Italian kingdoms of Sicily, Naples, and Sardinia.
- Much of Charles's reign was taken up by conflicts with France, which found itself encircled by Charles's empire while it still maintained ambitions in Italy. In 1520,
- Charles visited England, where his aunt, Catherine of Aragon, urged her husband, Henry VIII (Charles's uncle by marriage), to ally himself with the Emperor.
- In 1508 Charles had been nominated by Henry VII to the Order of the Garter
and his Garter stall plate survives in Saint George's Chapel.

Warrior Pope |
-
Pope Julius II who was born Giuliano della Rovere (1443-1513) was head of the Catholic Church and leader of the Papal States from 1503 to his death, in February 1513.
- Nicknamed the Warrior Pope, the Battle Pope or the Fearsome Pope, it is often speculated that he had chosen his papal name not in honor of Pope Julius I but in emulation of Julius Caesar.
- One of the most powerful and influential popes, Julius
II was a central figure of the High Renaissance and left a
significant cultural and political legacy.
- As a result of his policies during the Italian Wars, the Papal States increased their power and centralization, and the office of the papacy continued to be crucial, diplomatically and politically, during the entirety of the 16th-century in Italy and Europe.
Henry VIII war games |
- In 1512, young Henry VIII joined with his father-in-law,
Ferdinand II of Aragon, against the advice of his councilors,
and in the support of the Pope, who for a time he was very
close, to engage in the rivalry between France and Spain.
-
Pope Julius II formed an alliance to push French forces out of Italy
and Henry VIII declared war on France during the Italian wars.
- England sent an army of roughly 10,000 men to the southwest of France (Aquitaine) to threaten French territory
- The victory was won in 1513, although not by Henry, and
despite the pointlessness of the scuffle, the British people
loved the appearance of success.
- Later on, Catherine
herself had ridden into battle when she was pregnant to defeat
another enemy, King James IV of Scotland.

- Thomas Wolsey (1473-1530) was an English statesman and Catholic cardinal.
- When Henry VIII became King of England in 1509, Wolsey
became the king's almoner.
- Wolsey's affairs prospered and by 1514 he had become the controlling figure in virtually all matters of state.
- Thomas Wolsey by this
time was more or less performing the job of king but by 1523,
the country was increasingly discontent with the performance
of the office.

Princess Mary I |
- At age 31 in
1516, Catherine finally gave birth to a daughter, Mary I
(1516-1558) on February 18, 1516, her
only surviving child.
- The marriage to Henry VIII was
supposed to cement alliances and secure history, instead, it
became a graveyard because no sons were ever born that lived.
- And the whole time,
Henry's court calling her 'cursed,' 'barren' and the
'problem' because no male heir arrived.
- Neither Henry or
his courtiers believed that a female was capable of ruling the
country.
- The only woman who attempted that was Queen
Matilda and her reign led to civil war and her crown was
stolen by her cousin, Steven.
Catherine judged by
Henry VIII and his
court |
- Between the ages of 35 through 40, Henry's
'love' faded and Catherine stayed strong and hopeful until the
early 1520s.
- Because Catherine of Aragon had first been married to Henry's older brother, Arthur, when he was a little over
14 years old, but he died just a few months later.
- Henry later used this to justify the annulment of his marriage to Catherine, arguing that her marriage to Arthur had created an affinity between Henry and Catherine; as his brother's wife, under canon law, she became his sister.

Katharine |
- When Catherine was age 35, Henry met Anne
Boleyn and began to claim that his marriage to Catherine was
invalid.
- In 1527, during his initial attempts to obtain a papal annulment of his marriage to Catherine, Henry similarly requested a dispensation to marry Anne, the sister of his former mistress,
Mary Boleyn
- He believed he was cursed by his 'God' because
he had married his brother's wife.
Henry’s desire for a legitimate male heir prompted him in 1527 to appeal to Rome for an annulment on the grounds that the marriage had violated the biblical prohibition against a union between a man and his brother’s widow. Catherine appealed to Pope Clement VII, contending that her marriage to Henry was valid because the previous marriage to Arthur had never been consummated.. (britannica.com) |

- Pope Clement VII (1478-1534) was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from November
19, 1523, to his death in 1534.
- Deemed 'the most unfortunate of the popes,' Clement VIIs reign was marked by a rapid succession of political, military, and religious struggles, many long in the making, which had far-reaching consequences for Christianity and world politics.
- From 1527 on, Henry VIIIs next mission was called
'the King's great matter' and that concerned his annulment
from his first wife, Catherine of Aragon.
Kimbolton Castle |
- Henry VIII spent several years on this task,
and despite being a staunch Catholic, he stirred up the
Protestant Reformation, but not because he had that belief,
but more because Pope Clement VII was in the way of his divorce.
- By the time
she was 46 in 1531, Catherine was banished from Henry's court.
- Catherine of Aragon spent the final period of her life living at Kimbolton Castle in Cambridgeshire, England, after she was
removed from the royal court by King Henry VIII.
Stripped of her
crown |
- When she was 48 Henry married Anne Boleyn and
Catherine was stripped of her Queen status in 1533.
- At
age 50, after 6 pregnancies and
5 losses and no male heirs, by 1535 she was living in isolation although all
along, she continued to sign letters as 'Catherine the Queen.'
- She watched as her only surviving daughter, Mary I
was declared illegitimate and separated from her, stripped of her
title and dignity, and died in exile at age 50.
Deserted and
abandoned |
- Through it all, Catherine refused to annul her marriage so that Henry could marry again, which led to the separation of the Church of England from the Catholic Church.
- She died in England in 1536 and signed her last letter
to Henry; 'Yours as ever, Catherine the Queen.'.
- Her only surviving child, Mary Tudor, became queen in 1553.
-
After her formal separation, Catherine, who was well-loved,
was isolated from the public and lived the rest of her life in
seclusion until her death in 1536.
- After her death, the person embalming her body (a local chandler or candle-maker) examined her remains, they found a strange, dark, and hard mass attached to her heart.
- This was the result of Henry VIII poisoning her.

Mary Boleyn |
- But if the first part of this story is bad enough,
Henry was a real heel and he had several mistresses while he
was married to Catherine of Aragon.
- One of them was Mary
Boleyn (1499-1543) who was Anne Boleyn's older sister and it's
believed that the 2 children she had with her husband, William
Carey (c.1495-1528), who she married in 1520 really belonged to Henry VIII.|
- Also, seeing what came down the line in the Carey family
that's more than just speculation.

Sweating |
- William Carey (c.1495-1528) was a courtier and favorite of King Henry VIII of England.
- He served the king as a Gentleman of the Privy chamber, and Esquire of the Body to the King.
- Henry VIII was a guest at the couple's wedding
but unlike his later infatuations, Henry did not shower Mary with grand titles, public recognition, or political power.
- Instead of rewarding Mary directly, Henry granted financial perks, gifts, and offices to her legal husband, William,
and more than likely he worked the affair out beforehand with
Carey.
|
Political Convenience: Mary was already married to a courtier, which made her a safe and discreet option without the complications of a high-stakes unmarried noblewoman. When Henry wanted to marry Anne, he had to ask the Pope for a special legal pardon because of his past affair with Mary, proving the prior relationship existed strictly as a legal impediment rather than a lingering romance.

Henry Fitzroy son of
Elizabeth Blount and

- It was rumored that the Henry VIII fathered one or both of Mary's children,
however even if this were so, Henry did not acknowledge either of them as his children, although he had previously acknowledged Henry FitzRoy
(1519-1536), his son by another mistress, Elizabeth Blount.
- FitzRoy was conceived when Queen Catherine was approaching her last confinement with another of Henry's children, a stillborn daughter born in November 1518.
- The infant boy was given the surname FitzRoy to make sure that all knew he was son of the King.
- Henry VIII openly acknowledged the boy, perhaps because he felt that his lack of a male heir was a slur upon his manhood
and at one point he proudly exhibited his newborn son to the court

Mary and Philip |
- Mary I made vigorous attempts to reverse the English Reformation, which had begun during the reign of her father, King Henry VIII.
- Her attempt to restore to the Church the property confiscated in the previous
2 reigns was largely thwarted by Parliament.
- During her 5-year reign, more than 280 religious dissenters were burned at the stake, in what became known as the Marian persecutions, leading later commentators to label her
'Bloody Mary' although it's estimated that Henry VIII murdered
over 70,000 during his reign.
