do you, henry tudor, take anne boleyn to be your lawful wedded wife? Vide infra Explanation: During a Roman wedding, the bride and bridegroom were addressed, and the bride replied: 'Ubi tu Gaius, ego Gaia?', i.e., 'Where [art] thou, Gaius; I am [your] Gaia?'. This was the consummating formula, 'Gaius/Gaia', common praenomina, standing for any bride's and bridegroom's names. I'm very uncertain that Henry VIII would have used the traditional Catholic formula, whatever that is or, if he did use it, would have used it in Latin. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 hrs (2006-10-14 08:40:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- From 1528, when Anne took up residence at the Court, she exhibited a deep interest in religious reforms, and it is believed that she had a considerable impact on Henry in this regard. This increased, and contemporary accounts indicate fierce battles between the two in open Court. He had long since since ceased to be the 'Defensor Fidei' whom the Pope so highly commended. They were married in January 1533, sometime around St. Paul's day, Anne having become pregnant in the preceding December, and with Henry still formally married to Catherine of Aragon. Under such circumstances, he could hardly have employed the normal Catholic ceremony, especially since Archbishop Cramer did not officially--and even then without Papal approval--dissolve Henry and Catherine's marriage until May 23. |
