Most romantic H/A moments? In The Tudors and/or history?

The top was probably after she recovered from the Sweat (that was like a pinnacle reunion scene like…I don’t think anything has topped it since, on any period drama, altho this came pretty close).

Sadly, the thing about Tudors was that their relationship wasn’t actually very well-developed or well-written? So tbh I don’t think there were that many romantic moments between the two of them on the show, or not as much as there should have been, at any rate.

We know they’re in the love but we don’t know, like…why. We don’t really see them talk to each other about their families, their childhoods, their hopes and dreams and fears; so in that way it was very Tell-Not-Show:

Worse, the earthshaking union between Henry and Anne is nearly as talky. She wants to be queen, he wants her to be queen (I’ll spare you the 15 versions of this conversation), but the pair, pretty and unknowable, lack any clear reason why they’re so smitten. The audience is expected to take their word for it — and there are plenty of words, just few that resonate. In one scene, a triumphantly pregnant Anne giddily declares a craving for apples, and she becomes a real person, but The Tudors provides too few of those moments. Instead, Henry and Anne nag and harp and tongue each other. It’s like asking us to root for a particularly vapid reality TV couple.

 Some of this was, I think, due to limited screentime (and the time jump in between s1 and s2), and had they not done the storyline where Norfolk and Thomas Boleyn are pushing/manouevering Anne into the relationship they probably would’ve had a better arc. Because tbh, that took up a lot of time. 

We don’t see that many intimate moments between them (not even them waking up with each other), most are focused on sex. Which is a shame, imo, because I think their relationship was about a lot more than just sex but that’s often what it’s reduced to. 

Anyway, I’ll pull a few from my tag that I like, those I use for inspo:
