Hi, love the site. Okay, Would anyone seem to know, why Anne is the most celebrated wife? Why not for a change they focus on one of the other wives. It seems to me that Anne Boleyn, Kathryn Howard and Katherine Parr are the most celebrated. So why aren’t Jane Seymour, Catherine of Aragon and Anna of Cleves celebrated enough. Sure Anne was known as the infamous second wife, but would it kill the Historians to change veiw every once in a while?

I absolutely understand your sentiments! I have found myself being drawn over the years to Jane Seymour and especially Katherine of Aragon, and wrote a thesis for my masters on the latter. I have ambitions to write a book about Katherine one day, as she deserves as much attention as Anne!
