In 1536, Anne Boleyn talks to a man in the Tower of London about her story. She begins in 1916 when she visited Amboise in France. Anne was fascinated by the french culture and how vibrant the place was.
While Anne was more focused on studying and being an independent thinker, her older sister Mary was more focused on the more simple desires of a woman back then which was to court a man, the higher his position the better.
Mary was a mistress to King Francis, the erstwhile king of France. Anne was closer to his sister Marguerite de Navarre who introduced Anne to revolutionary ideas regarding religion and feminism.
In 1520, the Field of Cloth and Gold is held, a festival which also serves as a political summit between France and England. This is where Anne first encounters King Henry VIII. Her father, Thomas Boleyn is one of the men in charge of organising the festival.
She catches his eye, but it’s not for another 2 years that they see each other again as she becomes a lady of the court in England. At this point, Mary is Henry’s mistress while he’s married to Catherine of Aragon.
Anne has her eyes on Henry Percy, a member of a high-ranking family in England. Due to his much higher status and the fact that Henry has already been promised to someone else, Anne and he are not meant to be and she’s sent back to Hever Castle to live with her family.
So Anne spends a few years away from court, familiarising herself with heretic ideas about religion such as accepting that a bible can be written in English, which was illegal at the time.
When her father is granted the title of viscount, Anne returns to court as a lady-in-waiting to Catherine and this is where her courtship with King Henry truly begins.
Anne is distant at first because of how Henry cast her sister aside once he was done with her. She also is very aware of her self-worth and does not wish to be just another mistress to the king despite his many pleas.
