Oh Mary I did not know Anne was your favorite as she is mine. Beautiful, musically talelented, intelligent more so then Henry perhaps, a wonderful dancer, a trend setter in fashion, loving mom and how she suffered at the end with seeing her friends and brother George killed betrayed by those who lied for their own gain. It still makes me sad... To die and leave her beautiful daughter.............
I have read much about her and one theroy is that she had negitive blood value to Henry's postive and so Elizabeth would have been her only child. I so feel a kinship with her.
When I went to England two years ago I stood at Tower Green on May 19 and said a prayer for Anne. It was also my mom's birthday.

I just love Victoriana, the clothing, the furnishings, etc. The Victorians had such a love of beauty; they were so lavish w/their decor. Perhaps I would be a single woman then. It was after a woman got married that she ended up losing her rights. Her fortune went to her husband, even her children were lost to her should she divorce.
