What did a typical day for Anne Boleyn look like when she queen? What were her responsibilities? What did she do with her time? Did she go to mass, hunt, read, dance, have meetings, attend banquets?
Rating: +1
Anne would certainly have gone to mass and she enjoyed hunting so she would have gone hunting with the King. She also would have listened to and read requests from people who would have wanted her to put forward their case to the King, she and her ladies sewed clothes for charity and she was a patron of the arts, encouraging people like Holbein and commissioning work from him. She encouraged her ladies to read the English Bible which lay open in her apartments, she would have read, listened to music, played music, danced, attended banquets and functions to support the King. Anne also took a keen interest in architecture and the improvements which Henry planned for his palaces.
