He definitely thought that she was carrying his son and heir and the coronation was just as much a celebration of that as a celebration of his new queen.

I agree with you that he never felt as passionately for his other queens. He obviously had much love and respect for Catherine of Aragon in the beginning and its seems that he was heartbroken and unwilling to believe ill of Catherine Howard when he was told of her infidelity, but Anne was definitely his true love even though he gave that name to Jane Seymour. His one and only letter to Jane is very boring compared to his passionate letters to Anne.

Henry loved Anne so much that he gave her this lavish and expensive coronation. He was proud of her and wanted to show her to everyone. True, he believed that she was carrying his son & heir as well..

Henry never did this for any other of his queens. Also, he made Anne the Marquess Of Pembroke in her own right. Quite an honor for a women.

I believe that Henry never stopped loving Anne and regretted losing her the rest of his life.
I also think that he never felt the same passion for any other queen that he had for Anne. They were more equals in their relationship, with regard to education, love of music, interest in the new learning and so on.

Yes, Sherri, he didn’t treat any of his other wives like this. I agree with you that he really felt that Anne was his equal and I think he also assumed that she was carrying his son and the coronation celebrations were a celebration of the new hope that she had given him.

Anne’s coronation was grand. Henry must have considered Anne to be his equal as she was crowned with the St. Edward crown. To me that shows how deep and passionate Henry’s love was for Anne.

Henry waited for Anne for so long and vice versa that it makes a person really wonder what was working in Henry’s mind when he had her executed. Henry also gave her a high standing with a title of her own before they were married.

If only we could go back in time…..

I know what you mean, Sabrina, she was only Queen for just under 3 years – very sad.
