Anne boleyn has an elder sister mary boleyn and a younger brother George Boleyn, who was born in 1504.
Margaret, who manages the Dutch countess Habsburg, appreciates Ann's father Thomas Boleyn very much, so she invites Ann to accompany her to the Dutch court. Anne boleyn lived in the Dutch court from the spring of 15 13 until her father arranged for her to go to France for a complete education in the winter of15/4.
In France, she was one of Queen Claude's favorite waitresses, and also served as an interpreter when British nobles visited the French court. During this period, Ann studied French culture and etiquette, completed her studies, and became interested in fashionable French fashion. Anne boleyn's father called her back to China in the winter of 152 1 and set off for England in June of 1522.
Henry Percy's pursuit
1522, she entered the palace and became the maid of Queen Catherine, the first wife of Henry VIII. She showed her charm at a masquerade in March and became a fashionable lady recognized by the court social circle. She accepted the pursuit of Henry Percy, the son of the Earl of northumberland, but in 1523, the Earl of northumberland refused to let his son Henry Percy get engaged to anne boleyn, and this relationship was interrupted.
Hunt down Henry VIII
From 65438 to 0525, Henry VIII fell in love with anne boleyn and pursued her. Ann refused Henry VIII's pursuit, because her sister Mary was Henry VIII's mistress, and even left the court to return to Kent (but there are also stories that anne boleyn was playing hard to get and pretended to refuse Henry VIII's pursuit. )。 Henry VIII not only did not reduce his interest in her, but also loved Ann more. After Ann entered the palace again in 1526, although she had accepted Henry VIII's pursuit, she still insisted on not having sex with him to avoid giving birth to an illegitimate child.
The divorce of Henry VIII
Henry VIII's wife has been unable to give birth to a Tudor male heir, and Ann seems to be the perfect candidate to give birth to a male heir. Under such circumstances, Henry VIII began to divorce his first wife, and in 1527, he and his ministers submitted an application for invalid marriage to the Vatican. When it started, Ann kept a low profile. At 1528, everyone knows that Henry VIII decided to marry her. Her family was promoted and won the support of many courtiers in the palace. Her expenses were paid by Henry VIII, with cabinets for new clothes and jewels, exclusive waiters and maids, and she lived in a newly-built mansion.
Although Henry VIII has applied to the Vatican to annul his marriage with his first wife Catherine, under the pressure of Catherine's nephew, the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, Pope Kermian VII refused to approve the annulment for six consecutive years.
1530, Henry VIII expelled his first wife Catherine from the court, and her position in the court was accepted by anne boleyn. Ann has now become one of the most powerful roles in the palace. She persuaded Henry VIII to promote the religious reform to get rid of the pope's jurisdiction. 1532, he died as the archbishop of Canterbury, and Ann recommended his pastor Thomas Cranmer to take over.
Anne boleyn has also made great contributions to the consolidation of international relations between Britain and France. She made friends with the French ambassador to Britain.1In the winter of 532, the two countries met in Calais, northern France, and France turned to support Henry VIII's second marriage. After the Calais Conference was supported by the French, Henry VIII secretly married anne boleyn on 1533+654381October 25th, when Anne was pregnant. On May 23rd, Thomas Cranmai, Archbishop of Canterbury, declared the marriage between Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine invalid, and on May 28th, declared the marriage between Henry VIII and Ann completely legal. /kloc-In June, 2000, anne boleyn was crowned Queen of England, and then she settled down in the palace to have a baby. At this time, Henry VIII's enthusiasm for Ann gradually faded, and there were disputes between them from time to time. It was not until September 7th that his daughter Elizabeth I was born in Presen, Greenwich, that the situation eased slightly. Ann sent Elizabeth to the countryside in Hertfordshire to grow up and often visited her.
Queen life
Anne boleyn's The Queen is more ostentatious than her predecessor Catherine. She has more than 250 servants to serve her full-time and 60 noble maids to accompany her. Ann bought many luxurious clothes, jewels, feather fans, carriages and furniture. She renovated several palaces to satisfy her taste.
During this period, Ann brutally persecuted many people who opposed his becoming queen, including Henry VIII and Queen Catherine's daughter Mary (later Mary I). 1534, under the control of Ann, Henry VIII forced Mary to be Elizabeth's maid. And urged the parliament to pass an "inheritance law" to hand over all the rights of succession to the throne to Ann's children. Ann belittled Mary, tortured her mentally, and deducted Princesse Marie's material treatment as the eldest daughter of the king. Her clothes and money are even worse than those of the royal servants.
This experience is extremely painful for any adolescent girl. In order to protect her dignity, Mary refused to recognize the Law of Inheritance, and even in her humble letter to Henry VIII, she insisted on signing "Princesse Marie". Henry VIII was very angry at the uncooperative attitude of his eldest daughter. The darling of the past is now his sworn enemy. Encouraged by anne boleyn, he unceremoniously began to plan how to execute Princesse Marie. When Mary was seriously ill in the panic, Queen anne boleyn, as a stepmother, even ordered doctors not to treat Princesse Marie's illness and refused to allow anyone to visit her.
