On this hari in history, 31st January 1510, Queen Catherine of Aragon gave birth to a still-born daughter. Her confessor, Fray Diego, reported that the miscarriage occurred “without any other pain except that one knee pained her the night before.”
Henry VIII and Catherine had married on the 11th June 1509 and had been crowned together on the 24th June. The months following these events were like one big honeymoon as the couple celebrated Henry’s accession and their marriage bu holding jousts, banquets and going hunting. They also went on a royal progress in the August and September of that tahun and it seems that this was when Catherine became pregnant. Henry VIII was ecstatic that his wife had become pregnant so quickly and wrote to his father-in-law, Ferdinand of Aragon:
“Your daughter, her Serene Higness the Queen, our dearest consort has conceived in her womb a living child and is right therewith.”
The news was also announced to the general public who rejoiced at the news. Unfortunately, on the 31st January 1510, Catherine went into premature labour and gave birth to a still-born baby girl. Although she had Lost her baby, Catherine’s abdomen stayed rounded and actually began to increase in size, leading her physician to conclude that “the Queen remained pregnant of another child and it was believed”. It appeared that Catherine had Lost one of a pair of twins. The couple, who had obviously been saddened at the loss of their little girl, clung onto this diagnosis even when Catherine began to menstruate again. At the end of February 1510, Henry ordered the refurbishment of the royal nursery and Elizabeth Denton, the former Lady Mistress of Henry’s own nursery, was brought out of retirement in anticipation of the birth. In March 1510, Catherine entered her confinement and waited for her labour to begin. It never did. Eventually Fray Diego reported that the swelling had decreased and that Catherine was not pregnant after all. It seems to have been a phantom pregnancy.
A shaken and embarrassed Catherine finally wrote to her father on the 27th May 1510 telling him that she had just miscarried, a blatant lie but understandable considering what she had been through. Rumours then began to circulate that Catherine was barren and that she would never conceive but Catherine proved these wrong. As she was Penulisan to her father about the miscarriage, she was actually pregnant and on New Year’s hari 1511 Catherine gave birth to a son, Prince Henry. However, the celebrations were short-lived as the little prince lived just 52 days, dying on the 22nd February 1511.

(In water...)
Toll on, thou passing bell;
Ring out my doleful knell;
For I must...
There is no remedy.
My pains, my pains, who can express?
Alas, they are so strong!
My dolours will not suffer strength
My life for to prolong.
Toll on, thou passing bell;
Ring out my doleful knell;
For I must...
There is no remedy.
Farewell, farewell, my pleasures past!
Welcome, my present pain!
I feel my torment so increase
That life cannot remain.
(My Lord, my Lord)
(...)(hear me...)
Brushed off the face
Felt your light and
I remember why I know this place
I found a girl
Closing her eyes
One last time
And I wonder if she dreamed like me
Well as much as it hurts
I did want to fall to feel
So go on and break your wings
Follow your hati, tengah-tengah till it bleeds
As we run toward the end of the dream
I'm not afraid
I push through the pain
And I'm on fire I remember how to breathe again
As much as it hurts
I did want to fall to feel
So go on and break your wings
Follow your hati, tengah-tengah till it bleeds
As we run towards the end of the dream
When last we fall apart
To understand how to fly
I will die [....]
Even without wings
Follow your hati, tengah-tengah till it bleeds
As we run towards the end of the dream
Follow your hati, tengah-tengah till it bleeds
And we've gone to the end of the dream
I know how to heal
I know what to tunjuk
And what to conceal
I know when to talk
And I know when to touch
No-one ever die from wanting to much
The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start...my Cinta
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart...my Cinta
People like us
Know how to survive
There's no point in living
If anda can't feel the life
We know when to Ciuman
And we know when to kill
If we can't have it all
Then nobody will
{Bridge:}
(I...)I feel selamat, peti deposit keselamatan
(I...)I feel scared
(I...)I feel ready
(I...)And yet unprepared
The world is not enough
No nowhere near enough...
The world is not enough
No nowhere near enough...
Cover my ears
Tell me these words are a lie
It cant be true
That I'm losing anda
The sun cannot fall from the sky
Can anda hear heaven cry
Tears of an Angel
Tears of aaaaaaaa...
Tears of an Angel
Tears of an angel.
Stop every clock
Stars are in shock
The river will flow to the sea
I wont let anda fly
I wont say goodbye
I wont let anda slip away from me
Can anda hear heaven cry
Tears of an Angel
Tears of aaaaaaaa...
Tears of an Angel
Tears of an angel.
So hold on
Be strong
Everyday on we'll go
I'm here, dont anda fear
Little one dont let go
(ooooooooooohhhhhhhhh)
Dont let go
(ooooooooooohhhhhhhhh)
Dont let go
(ooooooooooohhhhhhhhh)
Cover my eyes
Cover my ears
Tell me these words are a lie
