Anne is compelling. One of the most, if not the most important woman in western history. It's amazing that she fully eclipses her daughter in history just by who she was, a second wife, and Queen.
King Henry is and always was the problem. he was a good king to England. but was a poor man to be married to. impatiant and lacking feelings for any of his wives well being. his eyes always on the look out for a replacement if he didn't think the wife he had was quick at popping out a son.
@stevenc08 How was Henry a good king to England? He devalued the currency, involved the country in pointless foreign campaigns, wrecked the national welfare system represented by the great monasteries and hospitals, needlessly imported a religious controversy that tore England into factions for centuries, killed quite a number of people, and died miserably. Well, I suppose that last WAS a benefit to England.
@Versipelles the world is grey, nothing is as simple as it seems, granted henry was a tyrant and died with serious blood on his hands, but he also brought, though thru violent means, some stability to the country, and all the violence and innocent victims werent all his fault, the nobles who wanted to break with rome and rob the monasteries for theyre wealth were just as culpable! i agree with a lot of what you say, but were all subject to the times we live in, he was a man of his time! PEACE!
@ozzyhead73 I'm afraid I must disagree. Henry brought no stability to England: his reign and that of his successors was marked by a series of rebellions, brought about largely by the inconsistency and ineptitude of his "carrot-and-stick" ruling style and the contradictory nature of his testamentary "settlement." To blame his nobles is to blame Henry; it was his job to keep them in check. As a man of his times, he compares poorly with his contemporaries, Charles V and Suleiman the Magnificent.
Poor Catherine! To bad she wasn't more ruthless! If anything, she should have put Henry and Anne on trial for adultery and treason and been rid of them!
If Anne's a homewrecker, than so is Jane. And also, if you hate Anne, why are you watching videos about her? Do you j ust like to make Anne fans angry? Also, why not blame HENRY who decided to divorce Catherine in the first place. He's the one who ruined the life of all six wives.

You're oe to talk, why do you go on Catherine videos? Just to make Catherinefans angry? He didnt divorce Catherine, he had the marriage annulled, their is a differance, Jane may have done the smae thing as Anne, but she was much nicer to Anne and Elizabeth than Anne EVER was to Catherine and ary (the things she said about them and did to them are awful)

Queen Katherine was useless to Henry at this time. I am not a Catholic, I am a Lutheran. But he needed a son.

agreed, she was a homewrecker, and there was no need for her to be so disrespectful to queen katherine, who had always been a kind gracious lady

It wasn't solely for romance, it gave Henry a reason to remove himself from the power of the Catholic church and the sovereignty of the Pope.

i do agree, she is a homewrecker without the sex and he is a playboy.
it is still an interesting story.
