King Henry Should Have Let Anne.....


marry the guy she truly loved. Henry's marriage to her was all for naught anyway. He eventually had her beheaded. Then again, there wouldn't have been the iconic Elizabeth 1 and the Elizabethan era.

That course of action would only have been feasible if Henry VIII could see into the future.

Kings believed (back then) that their whims and wants were directed by God. So him feeling so strongly for Anne must surely have meant God directing him to her and she would bring him his ultimate desire to have many sons. Or so he would have thought at the time.

Henry VIii should have let a girl he desired marry the man she loved? Not bloody likely.

She drive him crazy because she wasn't interested in him. And when he finally did have her he became bored. Sound familiar guys?
