Anne Boleyn is perhaps the most engaging of Henry VIII's Queens.For her he would divorce his wife of some twenty years standing,he would take on the might of the Roman Church and the Holy Roman Empire; he would even alienate his own people in order to win her favour and, eventually,her hand.
But before Henry came into her life Anne
Boleyn had already wandered down love's winding path.She had learned its twists and turns during her youth spent at the courts of the Low Countries and France,
where she had been sent as a result of her
scandalous behaviour with her father's butler and chaplain.Here her education had
been directed by two of the strongest women of the age - and one of the weakest.
Returning to England she was courted by three different suitors in three very different circumstances.The first was James Butler,with whom an arranged marriage was designed to settle a family dispute.Anne then captured the heart of Henry Percy,whose genuine love for her was
reciprocated and would have led to Anne becoming Countess of Northumberland had the couple not been cruelly torn apart in the interests of politics and worldly ambition.Lastly,Thomas Wyatt,the dreamy young poet and ambassador who was captivated by Anne but who stepped aside when he saw that he had a rival: none other than the great King Henry VIII himself.
