    I don't believe that Anne Boleyn was entirely responsible for Wolsey's fall. Many at court hated him and wanted rid of him. If I had been Wolsey I would have lived much more humbly and given my enemies no ammunition. The same goes for Anne herself. Both were over confident in their positions and over reached themselves. Katherine of Aragon's fate should have been a warning to Anne, but she also was not entirely responsible for that debacle. The king wanted rid of his barren first wife and was planning to do so before Anne came to the English court and if it wasn't Anne he chose, it would have been some other woman young enough to give him sons.

      Poisoning was not the English way. And as historian Richard Starkey said: "Where a Borgia used poison a Tudor used the law". But there are suspicions he did indeed poison hos bastard son Henry Fitzroy, who he didn't need once Jane Seymour had produced a legitimate son, and if she hadn't died he would have expected more sons with her.

      You are so right on both Wolsey and Anne becuz one way or the other he was gonna get the babyboy he wanted and nobody was gonna stand in the way! Even Anne found out that she didn't have a boy, so off with her head!! And in Wolsey's case as u said nobody liked him so without the kings ear or an annulment from the pope, and so if he wouldn't have died, it woulda been off with his head too!! It's pretty sad how Henry could turn on people so fast, but so very true!! Such a selfish monarch!! This is why we should never pretend to turn men into Gods!! It's not a good situation all the way around!!!

      If Anne wasn't after the crown and Henry , why did she treat Katherine and her daughter Mary like so poorly when she took the power from them? They were victims of Henry's ambitions, yet she had no mercy for them. Anne got what she deserved, being replaced by Jane Seymore. But nevertheless her life should've been spared.

  • @BAFFLing752

    The irony is that Anne Of Cleves was a big-boned, healthy, German woman who probably could have given Henry VIII the healthy sons he wanted, but he preferred tiny, wasp-waisted women with narrow hips who can have difficulty with childbearing.

    • @wilfordfraser6347
      @wilfordfraser6347 6 лет назад +14

      Your suggestion that only fat women produce healthy children is a little off. You also seem to disregard the role attraction has in sexual inter course. A man cannot force himself to be attracted to a woman who is not his preferred type, and being able to cobsumate the act of sex with a woman whom one is not attracted to is a talent limited to only a very special breed of man

    Despite his personal life and beliefs, it mustn't be forgotten that Henry was a bit forward thinking, as in forming the foundations of our Royal Navy, southern coastal defences ( Walmer Castle is just one. ) And flirted with a national postage system.All rulers of his era were lead to believe their ' job ' was God given, rather like the Catholic belief that all popes were, and still, are God given and are ancestors of St. Peter.I have the feeling that he was very badly informed and guided by his helpers - every one had, and has, their own interests at heart.There's usually, if delving deep enough, very little that's new in history.

      There is much more written about the aristocracy than is there about the ordinary people. The majority of the common people could not afford to send their children to school, and if they did, it was usually only the boys. Not many of the ordinary people could read and write, so there is not as much written history about them.

      Religion takes complete advantage of anyone desperate or foolish enough to believe in it.
