I have a old book from 1860, on English history! It’s horribly battered and torn but I think that makes it better. Anyway there’s a small part on Anne and Henry, and I find it interesting to see how the author viewed her. It’s very brief, but seems to conclude that her death was punishment for Catherine’s death. It’s a shame that Anne has been blamed for Henry’s actions for so long, although she could have been a little more compassionate, she was never really invulnerable and that no doubt made her feel a little insecure and snappy. She must of felt that Catherine was denying her what she loved and wanted by disagreeing to the divorce.

“The conduct of Anne Boleyn was not very amiable, for in her anxiety to wear the crown, she had been wholly regardless of the feelings of the injured Queen, whose life, shorted by grief, terminated soon afterwards; but she was severely punished for her selfish ambition; for she had not been the wife of the capricious monarch for more than three years when he fell in love with another lady, and speedily removed all impediments to a third marriage, by procuring witnesses to accuse his wife of treason, and she was beheaded after a short imprisonment in the Tower. This unfortunate lady left an infant daughter, who became afterwards Queen Elizabeth.
The unfeeling king went out hunting on the day of Anne Boleyn’s execution, and the next morning he married Lady Jane Seymour, who died the following year, leaving an infant son, who reigned after his fathers death, under the title of Edward the Sixth.”
