The Boleyns would make awesome werewolves

Which is why I'm giving some serious thought to writing a Tudor werewolf novel. I mean, I've thought about it before, but when madlee276  was down here recently, we watched season two of the Tudors, and that has me thinking about it more seriously. Like how I'd actually do it. What parts of history I'd change, and how the court of Henry VIII being comprised largely of werewolves would affect things.

Right off the bat, I'd get rid of Jane Seymour. No way werewolf Anne Boleyn would let that prissy little tramp wriggle her way into Henry's bed when she could just have her torn apart in a "hunting accident." I'd keep Katherine of Aragon. I toyed with having her die giving birth to Mary, but then you either have to get rid of the entire break with Rome, or find another reason for it happening. So instead I think Mary would be stillborn (maybe Katherine shapeshifted too much during the pregnancy? And so when Anne falls pregnant with Elizabeth, Henry is all OMFGNOSHAPESHIFTING FOR NINE MONTHS!!! and she's just laid up in bed getting more and more impatient and claustrophobic). So, anyway, Mary is stillborn, so Henry has a flap about not having an heir, and legitmises Henry Fitzroy, leaving the way clear for Bessie Blount to compete with Anne for the position of mistress, and ultimately queen. And with Henry the legitimate heir, Anne has to work that much harder to secure any kind of future for Elizabeth. No Jane Seymour means no Edward VI. No Mary means it's just Henry Fitzroy and Elizabeth competing for the heir position...

No Jane Seymour also means Anne probably wouldn't be executed, at least not in 1536. Maybe Henry's eye still wanders after all the miscarriages and stillborns, and he'd probably still take Katherine Howard as a mistress. I could cut out Anne of Cleves, but not Katherine Howard. I mean, she was an utter airhead who probably deserved to be executed, but she'd be a fun character to have around. And the idea of some smackdown between Anne and Henry over his giggly childish mistress is pretty appealing. I mean, eventually Anne would have to go, but I see her lasting a lot longer than she did in real life, and maybe even having another child.

Anyway, as for the rest of the country, I figure that whilst the royal and noble houses are mostly werewolves, the commoners, not so much. The first thing Henry VII did when he took the throne was implement a law to have common werewolf children drowned at birth. Means the chances of a bloody werewolf revolt against the new, unpopular king was less likely to happen. And it showed those pesky peasants who the boss was. So werewolves are pretty rare amongst the lower classes, and probably all end up being shipped off to monastaries or nunneries to hide them from the Wolf Finders, or something. I guess Henry VIII would be a bit less militant about it, because all he really wants to do is start fights with Francis I.

Anyway... I have no idea when I'm going to write this. But I feel I must!
