  1. I read somewhere that she had also used “Me and Mine” as her motto. Sorry, don’t know the latin.

  2. My latin teahcher said you can also use Laetissima for the most happy
    in french of course, it is La Plus Heureuse (:

  3. Hello everyone–The motto about grudging.
    This motto was famous in continental Europe, especially at the court in Burgundy where Anne lived and studied WITH CHARLESV AND HIS 2 SISTERS at Margaret of Austria’s. It was used by more rulers than just Anne, including Henry. There’s credence to semper eadem being her motto along with the falcon badge. The most happy is what you would call a device.
    Happy researching.

    1. Hi Bethany,

      Yes, that’s right, that’s “Ainsi sera, groigne qui groigne”. Anne did not use it for very long as it was a bit of a joke motto!

    2. A more literal but contemporary translation of ‘Ainsi sera, groigne qui groigne’ is ‘This is how it’s going to be, even though whingers whinge.’

  4. I have the “groigne” motto tattooed on my wrist! I love Anne and always have. Having a tattoo in her honor makes me feel strong! Haha

    1. I have her falcon badge and signature as queen on my right arm. I have loved her since I was 12 or so…I know exactly what you mean when you say that it makes you feel strong!

      1. I also have an Anne tattoo. I have, “The Most Happy” in french on my wrist. I want to get another one my other wrist. Thinking of doing the “Me and mine’ one. I have also loved Anne from a very early age (11 or so.) I randomly was assigned her as one of Henry’s wives for a research project and I’ve been enamored every since. I love knowing I have this tattoo to her memory on me for the rest of my life.

  5. Hi, I was wondering if you could help me find some primary sources for may A level personal study on why Anne Boleyn died? I particularly need in on her character, just one that describes what she was like
    Thank you
