Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 5, Henry dismisses Katherine of Aragon's dying letter and seizes her property, erasing her final claim. In Episode 6, Cromwell prepares to annul Anne's marriage, which would similarly erase Elizabeth's legitimacy—repeating the pattern of erasing unwanted queens and their heirs."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Elizabeth's status parallels that of Katherine: both are removed from the succession to serve Henry's dynastic goals. This connection underscores the cyclical nature of Tudor court politics and the precarious position of royal women, including the infant princess.
