ANNE BOLEYN: LOVE HER,OR HATE HER?

ANNE BOLEYN was the second wife of King Henry VIII. Henry VIII left his first wife Queen Katherine of Aragon,and he left the Roman catholic church in order to be with Anne and make her his wife. Henry VIII sent numerous of people to the scaffold for deny his marriage, talking about Anne,and for not recognize his new found power ( it was also treason to refer to the old Queen as Queen). Henry VIII also had his wife Queen Katherine , and his daughter princess Mary locked away .imprison in their homes at Anne's urging. After all was said and done, Henry VIII sent Anne Boleyn, the very women he tore apart a country for , sent to the scaffold.

So Anne Boleyn, do you love her ?, or Hate her? why , or why not?

It is no small thing to come under the eyes of a King.

I personally think Anne Boleyn was a vindictive ,manipulative little minks . Yes, Henry VIII married her because he wanted a son. Yes, it was Henry VIII who sent all those men and women to the scaffold. Yes, it was Henry VIII who treated Katherine and Mary like dirt....however he did all of it because of Anne. Not once did Anne protest or object to Henry VIII sending people to the scaffold ,or jail for not recognizing her as queen. Not once . It was Anne's idea to make Princess Mary a servant to her daughter. I do not think Henry VIII cared one way ,or another. It was like Anne who was got Henry VII to push for Queen Katherine to sign the paper recognizing her as queen,and her daughter as heir. Women weren't require to sign the act of Succession, only males over the age of 16. And since Anne didn't have a boy, I doubt if Henry VIII cared. Anne wanted to humiliate Katherine and Mary. I didn't find one redeeming quality in Anne. Some historian tried to paint her as being religious and virtuous. I find her virtue questionable,and religious aspect questionable as well. Anne was brought up in the frech court. The King of France said she didn't alway live a virtuous life. as for Anne's religion. If she was truly a religous person as some historian had stated than she would never had married Henry VIII,considering that both the Pope of the catholic religion,and Martin Luther , from the Protestant religion denounce their marriage.

Valid points indeed. But even you must agree that if you caught the eye of the king you had little say in the matter. And at times it mattered not if the woman were married or no.

Reguardless her daughter was Englands greatest queen.

hmmm .... I find Anne Boleyn an example of women gone wrong in the world.

The vindictive, the mean, the immoral and as said before, lacking in any redeeming quality. This kind of person is the winner, who you cannot defeat, and who is unfortunately a mean person. The kind of person where you let the great Karmetic wheel get back at because you personally can't.

King Henry himself is an embodiment of perseverance. He set his mind on pursuing Anne Bolyn and will not relent his goal (Anne Boleyn) or settle for anything less than what he wanted.

I agree with 100 percent. Anna stood by and did nothing while Henry VIII sent people to their death/or jail for mere talking about her. She pressure Henry VIII to send Katherine and Mary to the scaffold for not signing the oath,and I believe she was serious. She forbid Henry VIII from seeing his daughter Mary, and was upset over the one time( Henry VIII saw Mary just once while he was married to Anne). During all that time she did not once think about anyone but her self. Henry sent many of Katherine friend to the scaffold with Anne's urging. So I find it hard to feel sorry for Anne. Since Anne did not show one ounce of compassion for anyone else. Never once did she speak up for anyone else. She didn't think about her actions, and how it affected everyone else. So that why Jane Seymour was able to come to the throne,and a beloved Queen, without all that Negativity that surround Anne's time on the throne. Jane stood up to Henry VIII on Mary's behalf,and she stood up for the guys who rebel against Henry VIII. It didn't matter if she wasn't successful, what matter is that she showed compassion,and distant herself from anything negative that Henry VIII was doing.
