"I love the queen. She's a great lady and I can't betray her. I cannot take her place." (12.13)
Whoa, déjà vu. It didn't work the first time for Mary, and it doesn't work this time, either. She is still ordered to sleep with the king.
Quote #5
Something of the sense of betrayal must have shown in my face, because my uncle laughed shortly, kicked a log into a spurt of flame on the fire, and gestured to George to seat me on a stool at the fireside. (14.188)
Sometimes Mary is an accidental betrayer, like here, when she accidentally lets slip that Henry thinks his marriage to Katherine is cursed. With the Boleyn family around, it's a guarantee people are plotting to betray each other.
Quote #6
"I cannot be charged with treason, I am the Queen of England, I am England. I cannot be divorced, I am the wife of the king." (17.212)
By cheating on Katherine, Henry doesn't only betray his wife; he also betrays his country. Just take a look at how quickly things begin to decline once Henry gets his divorce. When his marriage falls apart, the whole country suffers.
