We asked members of Historic Royal Palaces staff which of Henry VIII's wives as the best. Here, Yeoman Warder Alan Fiddes states the case for Anne Boleyn - who bewitched Henry, caused the creation of a new religion and became the first queen of England to be executed - having been fitted up and framed and explains why she still holds a personal place in the heart of the nation.
Next year Hampton Court Palace will be home to rarely seen 16th-century portraits of each of the women in Henry VIII's life mother, sisters daughters and wives - and will be joined by evocative objects intimately connected to their fate.

That does'nt mean she didn't love him. It means she was his mistress. She slept with him. She had to have some amount of love for him to sleep with him...
So, Henry is a rapist now? There is absolutley no evidence to support the fact that Henry ever raped any of his mistress'. This is just a story fabricated by the media to make thier films and stories intresting. You can say no to a king. It may not turn out well. Anne Boleyn refused Henry thier first years of courtship. She didn't lvoe him, so she didn't sleep with him. He wouldn't have abused his power, at least not twords the women he though he loved.
Anne Boleyn was obviously not a saint. But she was a very strong women who knew what she wanted and knew how to get it. I thinkher more liberal thinking and attitude is what caused people to see her a threat. Also, even if it's not completely historically accurate, I <3 the other boleyn girl!
You are completely wrong about that Mary was his Mistress (sex only) way before Anne was on the scene. Also there is no contemporary evidence that Mary bore any of hischildren. Please don't believe in what Phillipa Gregorry writes, her books are stories. Read a proper biography of Anne, not the crap she churns out. You will never look back.
