It had been several weeks since that night I shared a dance with the King. I caught him looking at me several times and we had exchanged words once or twice. I danced, played the lute, rode horses, anything that the King or Queen wished. My sweet sister Mary, whom I didn't always get along with but now we got...

Overview

This is a fictional story based on historical figures. This is a love story of King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, the King's second wife who was found guilty of many crimes including adultery and treason. There was little evidence that she was guilty of any crime. It is known that King Henry was deeply in love with Anne. He first saw her around 1525 to 1526. For the next several years King Henry tried everything in his power to get a divorce from his wife, Queen Katherine of Aragon. When the Pope and the Catholic Church refused Henry's request, he broke from the Church and subsequently married Anne in 1533. Anne bore him a child, Elizabeth, who went on to become one of the greatest monarchs in England's history. Anne suffered two miscarriages, one of them being a boy. The King, angry that Anne could not produce a son fast enough, started courting Jane Seymour who upon Anne's death, became his third wife. The King had Anne executed in 1536. This story is a story of true love. This is a story told from Anne's point of view. This will tell the story of what would happen had Anne not been executed and had stayed married to the King. What would have occurred. The Tudors help usher in the Reformation and brought along changes that are still felt today.I hope you enjoy the story.
