Perhaps i am not an expert but i do love Anne Boleyn’s History – she was a very inteligent woman – very seductive yet vulnerable in spite of her glory- perhaps/ if she had given birth to a male child she would not have been beheaded- the irony is that she was the mother of the greatest Queen of England – Elizabeth I –
