Anne Boleyn was a beautiful woman who died for an effectively polygamous man, Henry the VIIIth. In 1532, on September the first, he made Anne the Marquess of Pembroke in her own right. Henry created this title for her.

These words attributed to her suggest she was very much a woman who was ready for a man: “Seduce me. Write letters to me. And poems, I love poems. Ravish me with your words. Seduce me.”

Anne married Henry but when he did not have a son by her to be heir to his throne he had her executed.

She spoke these words about her fate: "Good Christian people, I am come hither to die, for according to the law, and by the law I am judged to die, and therefore I will speak nothing against it. I am come hither to accuse no man, nor to speak anything of that, whereof I am accused and condemned to die."

She did not consider herself guilty: "O Death, rock me asleep, bring me to quiet rest, let pass my weary guiltless ghost out of my careful breast."

Henry was troubled by the terrible way he treated her all his life.

This is a great argument against the over concentration of too much power in one man.

LOL! Sounds like it. This is what passes for history these days…TV melodramas and romantic fiction.

Because Anne was not of a royal line, she had no one to protect her from Henry’s cruel whims. Henry executing Catherine of Aragon would have led to a war with Spain. Henry had no such problem executing a commoner.
