The gist of it is that the love letter in which Henry makes clear his intention to marry Anne is going on display. Wow.

Also - weirdly - the Vatican owns the letter; it's on loan from them. How bizarre, no?

Cool! I would love to go see that.

I can kind of get the Vatican angle, since it may have been used as evidence when he tried for that annulment.

Still, way cool.

I'm a lurker who enjoys Tudor history. Henry VIII's daughter Queen Mary was a Catholic, so I am wondering if maybe Queen Mary came into possession of the letter and then either gave or sold it to the Vatican.
