Queens

Henry has six wives, each of them is a Queen of England.

• Hold huge influence with Henry, can lobby him directly
• Each has her own court of supporters who rely on her favour
• May act as Regent for the King, holding his full legal powers
• Have their own hierarchy based on date of marriage

The Queens hold large amounts of power within the court. They meet each other to resolve conflicts between them and their courts. Each Queen of course has her own agenda and a long list of priorities.
Queens can also act as Regent in the absence of a King, or if an heir is too young to inherit. Henry is unlikely to travel again at his age, but he won’t live forever.
The Queens have their own subtle internal hierarchy. Henry had perhaps not considered the practical issues with having multiple wives, and eventually Catherine of Aragon was returned to court on the understanding she would take a senior role to resolve disagreements between the Queens. They have their own subtle internal hierarchy, based mainly on date of marriage.

Responsibilities at the event

Queens will be the main characters receiving advice from court functionaries as to the state of the succession. In the event that things are going poorly, the Queens would be expect to get their courts in order and broker compromises for the good of the realm.
