Actually, Anne is one of my favourite historical figures, but if someone sets out to write history, they have to write HISTORY, not a revisionist version to suit the way they wish things had played out. It's a disservice to the complex and interesting people whose lives are twisted to suit the agenda of the author.

I think King Henry VIII may have got rid of Catherine of Aragon anyway, whether Anne Boleyn was there or not. He was sleeping around and he wanted a son desperatly. Back then it was so hard for people to get divorces, if Henry was in modern society he wouldn't have hesitated to get a divorce and get remarried, it's so easy these days. I don't think Henry would have stayed with any of his wives/mistresses long enough to be quite honest. Good video - keep up the good work, put it in my faces

I liked Anne Boleyn as much as to call her my role model, but really? Anne Boleyn fans should take a break! With Jane Seymour harassing and adding Boleyn as your last name!

I think part of the issue with Anne is that everyone - including Henry later - blamed her for everything cruel that Henry did to Katherine and Mary. Anne's influence was certainly a part of it, and I won't say that it wasn't, but in the end the decision was Henry's. Anne really only had two options when Henry decided to pursue her, and I can't say I blame her for not wanting to be just a mistress. For the record, my favorite wife is Katherine Parr, but after that it's AB, KoA, or AoC; can't pick

Sorry, how was Katherine Parr a trophy wife? She was hardly just a pretty face standing next to Henry.

are. Plus, I have a promblem with the double standard that comes after it when Henry replaces Anne with Jane. I mean same argument that Anne Boleyn fans made for Anne could apply for Jane as well. Henry was not getting any sons from Anne, so was it right for him to replace her with Jane?

[Ladyjaxs]

Like you, I like all of Henry's wives. I admit at first I didn't like Anne, but I've changed my opinion. I respect Anne for not giving into Henry and telling him that she not going be with him unless they were married. However, the problem I have with argument that Henry was not going to be getting any more children from Katherine, and Henry was right in replacing her with Anne. for me personally , I feel its wrong to get in between someone marriage no matter what the circumstances.

^that was me. Wrong account.

[GoddessofHyrule]

you're just saying that b/c you don't like Anne. H ow is a pro-Anne book different from a pro Mary book? Mary killed people, Anne didn't. I don't get why Mary is a saint and Anne is a demon.
