Women don't often say no, to Henry. When they do he thinks it's a game. It usually is. But Mary isn't your usual girl. She is Scotland. She is its queen.
All right then. Let's negotiate. As leaders. Shall we start with your desire to protect Bash? You're fond of him, aren't you?
Aren't you? He's your son. He was protecting me. Bash did nothing wrong.
And you, you shared a bed with him. There are witnesses.
They're lying. But go ahead, ruin me. I could give a damn about my reputation in France.
In Scotland?
They will believe their queen.
A queen with blood on her hands who let her lover die? Sebastian ran off with the future king's fiancée. Destroying an alliance between our countries.
Don't do this.
You want to be treated like a ruler? Someone who can say no? Do you need lives at stake to take this seriously?
Henry, you wouldn't.
You'll marry my son Francis and accept our nation's support, as you and your new husband, lay claim to England. Or I will execute my son, my subject Bash, for the treason of costing me England. You can watch him bleed to death on your wedding altar.
