I would want to be Jane Seymour because she is genuine, loving peroson, to her family and people she cares about.

If I were male, I would choose to be Henry VII. The only Tudor monarch to ever have two male heirs at the same time, however briefly. He was also quite intelligent and I think he has been treated a little unfairly by history; he’s mostly been forgotten thanks to his son and granddaughter, and he gained the reputation of a miser (but his odd behaviour began after the death of his wife, so I think grief had a lot to do with it).

As for Queen, I would probably pick Anne of Cleves. Looking back on it, even though she was rejected by Henry, she still got a good deal out of her annulment; she kept her head and got herself some manors and money for as long as Henry lived, so she lived mostly in comfort. Plus, she didn’t have to be married to Henry anymore!

Time is a big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey-wimey...stuff.

This took me a while to decide but i’ve finally settled on Elizabeth of York. Although I really wanted to say Anne I don’t think I could’ve stood on the scaffold with as much dignity as she did. Elizabeth of York however got to experience a royal vourt from many points of view from being a child untill she died. She has been the daughter, sister, neice and wife of a King which is pretty impressive and would have been well educated due to her high ranking status. She was, from what I hear, in a happy marriage, was much loved by her country and managed to prudce male heirs for her husband – which I think is probably the safest you can be as a Queen in a Tudor court. I also like that she supposed to kind, loyal and sweet natured. Not to mention that she was one of the few people that Henry VIII adored without it ending in the loss of her head!

Woohoo I'm normal...gotta go tell the cat!

I agree with Duchess. Anne of cleves got a pretty good deal out of lard bucket, and as a result didn’t have to put up with his temper tantrums. She lived a quiet peaceful life too away from all the stress and strain of court intriques and politics.
She did what she wanted, when she wanted and how she wanted.

I am not really sure I’d have wanted to be King or Queen, all that responsibility and people after trying to kill you. I think being Anne of Cleeves would have been the best, yes she had the marriage annulled but she went on to have a good life and lived long. Yes I’d have been the second Anne.

I would be Edward VI, just because I have always been intrigued by hm, his reign and his devise to succession. Not sure if I would do things differently if I am alowed to know what I know, or whether I would just go with history’s path.
