I’ve been posting on the Anne Boleyn Files since February 2009, so there are many thousands of posts on here and an incredible amount of information on Anne Boleyn, her life, times as queen and her fall in 1536, as well as lots of information about Tudor times and other Tudor characters.
Sometimes, with such a busy site, it can be hard to find things, although you can use the search box and look at the categories, so I thought I’d highlight some Anne Boleyn resources for you.

AI, Artificial Intelligence, is everywhere at the moment. People are using it to create images and even for writing books. I thought I’d experiment by asking ChatGPT to write a script for a YouTube video for me. I simply gave the instruction “Write me a script for a video on what Anne Boleyn was really […]
