It's kind-of interesting how every man, no matter his relationship with Anne, had a certain degree of respect or even fascination with her. Every man around her simply adored her (and those who did not -- Brandon, Chapuys, etc -- were just blinded by hatred and blamed her for the King's wrongdoings to Katherine d'Aragon) and she seemed to have an overwhelming effect on men. A true beauty, inside and out.

Natalie Dormer is a great actress... I am sure we will hear much more from her

She had such great strength and poise. Very graceful Queen.

@CatieCass I hope you realize that she had never asked Henry to do that...that was something that the writers of The Tuodrs added into the show. That has no historical basis whatsoever.

Anne was one of the best Queens of England, second only to her daughter. She was definitely the most intelligent of Henry's wives.

@11Juliet Oh I'm sure the book is fantastic! And about Anne acting "above her station", I guess I agree with what you said, but that's part of the reason she was executed. She did interfere too much in Henry's affairs, and he HATED it when his wives would do that. That's why I think the smartest of all his wives were Katherine of Aragon and Anne of Cleves. But anyway, nice discussion! =) It's fun talking about this era with others.

Women have come a long way.

@CatieCass Also, that's great that you've already done some research (I always appreciate fellow history buffs :) ), but I still recommend picking up the Eric Ives biography. It is by far the most unbiased, accurate, and thorough (the author has spent literally decades at hands-on research of Anne herself and the Tudor period at large; he's actually the one who personally made several of the new discoveries that have come to light about Anne in recent years). It's absolutely fascinating.

@CatieCass That's funny, because that's exactly why I DO respect her. ;) She was such a strong woman, in any age, but especially the one she was born and raised into; you're right, women so much as having opinions was essentially unheard of - but she did. She was extremely intelligent, well-educated, brave, and opinionated, which is why Henry fell in love with her in the first place, and without women like her (who acted "above their station"), we'd still be stuck down "where we belong".
