Same here, definitely not Jane Seymour!

Oh man, well definately not Seymour, um for me either Anne Boleyn or Katheryn Howard. Anne because looking at her portraits I think she’s beautiful and I believe was she too no matter what the standards where then. Katheryn Howard because she seemed to be a very sensual girl and obviously had to be some what pretty, it’d be nice to be like that for a day or whatever.

I can’t imagine being further from mum.
A modern day Anne, that’s ok. And somehow, I think that she was far from what her mum was too. There was nobody like Anne. She was herself despite what others said or thought. Above all, she didn’t listen to a single man.

I think I would have to go with Anne Boleyn too. Although not a typical beauty by the standards of the time, she had that whiff of the exotic about her with long dark hair and big brown eyes – two features I’ve always wanted for myself, heh! Plus she knew how to use them

I’m not sure I want to look like any of them. I’d like either Anne’s long dark hair or KoA’s long auburn hair.

And Anne’s je ne sais pas quality…..

Anne for definate because of her determination and balls to say what she feels, more than her looks.
But saying that, when my sister finally gets our ancestor paperwork back, i try and post it somehow on here, but on my mums dad side we are related to MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS. we just found that out a few years back. im personally not sure exactly where down the line but will let you know.

Maggie LOL Paper bag type of person. Love it..
Me I would AOC. Beauty is only skin deep and the person underneath is the one worth knowing..
AOC wasn’t ugly but she had a pleasing appearence.
J.S always reminds me of a bulldog chewing a wasp. But then she must have had something to attract Henry, especially when you think just how striking Anne looked in comparrison to COA and all those about her.
K.H again was attractive, and bubbly, however that didn’t help her when Henry got his chopping board out.
K.P was more enimatic than beautiful, but again Henry must have found her pleasing..
If you think about it Henry didn’t tolerate uglyness in his court, he had to have beauty in it to bolster up his vain self centred ego.
Whatever Henry’s faults and there were many somehow he had a charisma and charm which always seem to attract people like a moth to the flame.

Same here.. Me and my Mum are very different to each other, although I’m told I look like my mum with my glasses on.. My daughter Pia certainly does. That’s where the comparrison ends I’m a female version of my dad in everything..
But as I said in my post above yours Juliane, Tudor Girls were expected to be just like their mothers. Which actually makes me wonder about K.H we know her mother died when she was about 6 and yet K.H was flirty, bubbly and vivacious, and although her father married again I don’t see her step-mother being or putting up with any nonsence from her step children, she would expect the girls to mirror her behaviour exactly..
K.H as we know was a flirty, bubbly and vivacious teenager, so (this is just a wild guess) so I kind of get the idea that K.H’s mum Jocasta Culpepper was the same, a fun loving free spirit and that her nature rubbed off on K.H.
I wonder if K.H’s nature was part of the reason why she ended up in her Grandmother’s household? Again we know K.H’s father was away a lot usually to avoid his creditors., but if K.H’s rambuncious behaviour was too much for the servants who were looking after the children and the household whilst their father was in hiding, and they asked Norfolk (Who I detest) to do something about her?. He in turn felt it would be better for her to go to Lambeth where she would be under the strict eye and supervision of her Grandmother where given time Grandmother would get K.H to straighten up, fly right and behave as a Tudor girl was expected to. I don’t think K.H was the only one to go to the Grandmother’s household at that time, as Norfolk seeing that his brother’s house was in such a muddle decided to cut costs etc and sorted out the whole kit and kaboodle, so that when and if he brother did return things would be easier for him to manage.
We don’t know much about K.H’s siblings, but I’m taking yet another wild guess that they were very different behaviour wise to K.H.

Anne B was unique and because of how she was I think she would fit in just fine in our world today. She was a trend setter and a real go getter.
I wonder how she would feel towards all of us. Personally I think she would be blown away by just how many people almost 500 years since her death still love and remember her.

Anne certainly wasn’t the excepted norm of what Tudor woman were expected to be. She had a certain flair that really was only found in Elizabeth.
Anne had a polish and style that if anyone else tried to copy they just looked stupid.
Anne certainly made an impact around the court, and again like George would have been missed if she wasn’t around. They both had magnetic personalities, and even after their untimely deaths, after nearly 500 years they still have it.. Anne and George were both remarkable people, and yet Mary, Thomas and Elizabeth didn’t seem to have that spark. We remember them as just being. Thomas. B. the trusted Diplomat and Courtier. Elizabeth. B. Sister of Norfolk and Mary.B,C and S. The sometime lover of Henry 8 who married a commoner and was banished for it.

I would love to look like Anne simply to say that I look like Anne Boleyn!! Although I have received remarks that I resemble her daughter Elizabeth I somewhat, I wish I could claim to have Anne’s looks. 😉 Besides the fact that I admire Anne quite a lot, obviously, I do think she was by far the most striking, sophisticated-looking, and alluring of all of Henry’s wives, and I would prefer to look like her than, for instance, the more classically pretty but dime-a-dozen-for-looks Katherine Howard.
