谁和Jane Popincourt约会过?

Jane Popincourt

Jane Popincourt (c. 1484 - c. 1530 CE) , was a French noblewoman, tutor, and maid-of-honour. She served in the courts of Henry VII and Henry VIII of England.

For around twelve years, she had a position at the English court, first in the reign of Henry VII, as a distinguished tutor engaged to teach French to the princesses Margaret and Mary; and later in 1509, on the accession of Henry VIII, she was appointed a maid-of-honour to his wife, Catherine of Aragon. In 1514, there were rumors that Jane had become the King's mistress.

During the Battle of the Spurs in 1513, the King's troops captured a number of French nobles, notably Louis I d'Orléans, duke of Longueville. It is unknown if the Duke had met Jane at the French court, but as her countryman they seem to have been introduced upon his arrival at the English court and they soon began a liaison. Although he was technically a hostage, he was used as a supplementary ambassador in arranging the marriage of Mary Tudor and Louis XII, and was treated with respect as such. This damaged the reputation of Jane, who was probably then in her mid-to-late twenties, an age by which a woman would have been expected to be married. When the Duke returned to France in 1514, Jane remained at the English court and, some rumours suggested, may have begun a brief affair with Henry VIII. However, she seems to have wanted to return home. It has also been speculated that she was no longer welcome at the English court. She was listed as an attendant to Henry's sister, Princess Mary, who was about to become the queen of France. Louis XII refused to accept Jane as an attendant for his new wife, however, apparently on the grounds of believing Jane was promiscuous.

Jane remained in England until 1516, when she returned to France. She is said to have reignited her affair with the Duke and received a parting gift of £100 from Henry.

亨利八世

亨利八世

亨利八世(英語:Henry VIII;1491年6月28日—1547年1月28日),為亨利七世之次子,都鐸王朝第二任英格蘭國王,於1509年4月22日繼位;他亦先為愛爾蘭領主,其後成為愛爾蘭國王。亨利八世因欲與原配離婚另娶新后而與時任教宗決裂,推動英格蘭宗教改革;並藉由一系列重大法案,允許自身再婚,同時確立英格蘭主教體系的自主地位,使英格蘭教會正式脫離天主教會。其本人亦成為英格蘭教會最高領袖。亨利更下令解散境內修道院,將龐大財富與土地充公歸入王室,大幅增強英國王室的權力與經濟實力。在位期間,他亦推動威爾斯法案,正式將威爾斯並入英格蘭法政體系。

儘管是英格蘭宗教改革的主導者及英國國教的創立核心,亨利八世本人在信仰與禮儀上仍傾向傳統天主教教義,其主要反對焦點在於羅馬教宗的政治與教會權威,而非教義層面。其逝後,繼承人愛德華六世及伊麗莎白一世延續改革,使聖公會更趨新教化;唯其女瑪麗一世短暫恢復天主教地位。亨利八世一生共娶六位妻子,其中兩位王后被他判以絞刑或斬首。

除宗教事務外,亨利八世在內政上倡導人文主義與學術研究,提倡教育改革;他亦透過將威爾斯及英格蘭的制度整合、強化中央集權及立法權,鞏固王權基礎。其治下的國家權力大幅集中,社會階層中中產階級地位逐漸提升,並開始參與政治事務。外交上,亨利積極介入法國與神聖羅馬帝國之間的勢力平衡,但長期戰事與擴張政策也導致財政壓力沉重,為後世君主埋下經濟隱患。
