Anne Boleyn & Henry Tudor Marry In Secret

[summergirlx17]

was Thomas Wyatt related to the Boleyns, or just a family friend?

@summergirlx17 He is Anne's friend. In the show, it is assumed that they had a love affair before she was asked to seduce the king.

Katherine of Aragon was the only true queen of England. When she died, the queen of England died. PERIOD.CASE CLOSED.

@28804ecorrell Not necessarily... Had Katherine slept with Arthur, it would have left Henry and Katharine's marriage invalid. No one knows whether her marriage with Arthur was consummated or not, therefore, its not easy to say whether they were truly married or not. God's law was law during that time, it says in the bible it is wrong to marry your dead brothers wife, so by that, Henry could of truly believed his marriage was null and void, as he was breaking God's law.

Anne and Henry's marriage was NEVER valid. Why? Because technically Henry was still married to Katherine of Aragon!! And when Katherine of Aragon died, Henry and Anne's marriage was still not valid. Henry's marriages after Anne Boleyn may have been valid, but most likely not. And just because Katherine of Aragon died, it doesnt mean that Anne became queen instantly. Anne was never truly queen and neither were Henry's other "wives". They were just his playthings, nothing more.

@28804ecorrell I 100% agree what you have said. I agree. not one of Henry's wives last for 22 years like Kathrine marriage to Henry was, oh and I find it funny when Henry hit Charles.

@28804ecorrell They got married in secret twice (first they engaged or married on 14 November 1532, and the other ceremony took place on 25 January 1533). They married in secret because Henry was (technically) still married to Katherine of Aragon ; but since he wanted an annulment and not the divorce, he considered his marriage to Katherine as it never occurred.

@28804ecorrell Before Anne Boleyn's execution she was degraded from her titles but the title of queen was not mentioned.Anne Boleyn was 'never officially deprived of the title of queen which was hers under the Act of Succession of March 1534, which made her queen by statutory right and not by right of marriage to the King" according to Alison Weir ("The Lady in the Tower", p. 276).
