What I find interesting about Anne Boleyn in fiction, in fact all the women involved in the Tudor Dynasty, is that these authors have access to the same research materials and yet the portrayals are so varied. You can see the personal bias seep into the text. Even sometimes in the non-fiction works. As a published author myself, as well as a student of history, (The Tudor Dynasty is the subject of my masters thesis) I can understand how it happens to a certain degree. But it does not happen with anyone so much as with Anne Boleyn. Writer’s either Love her or they Hate her! My goal is to portray these women in the best possible light as strong women who through very little fault of their own were victims of the ambitious men in their families as well as Henry’s insanity. They were pitted against one another and positioned to be rivals. To displace, to deceive and to betray each other and themselves at the very highest cost….their children and even their lives.

do you think that henry VIII wouldnt have broken from the catholic church were it not for Anne Boleyn? how much was he persuaded by Anne or it wouldnt happend if she didnt appear in the picture? we all know he had 6 wifes but i wonder if he wouldnt have any more wives if she didnt appear or for example Jane appeared instead. Perhaps Henry VIII would have broken from the catholic church regardless just to marry other wives.
are those too many questions? since you seem to know that much about her im curious to know your opinion
