“Attention to female bodies central to Henry’s marriage and divorce provided Venetian ambassadors with suitable language to convey political message without overtly declaring sympathies for or criticism of either party. From the beginning, even before public debates over Catherine’s virginity or Anne’s alleged adultery, women’s physical presence defined the stability — or instability — of Henry’s reign.”

Samantha Perez, "Bodies in Competition: Italian Descriptions of Sexuality, Fertility, and Beauty in the King's Great Matter," 50.

"The narrative of Anne Boleyn's rise and fall has been interpreted in countless ways over the five centuries since her death for a variety of ideological purposes. A narrative in which she is reimagined as the teenage victim of a murderous high school student who believes he has a proprietary claim over the bodies of his girlfriends is simply the latest iteration of a long-standing acknowledgement that Anne Boleyn can be a useful avatar for considering a wide range of issues related to the intersection of gender, sex, and power."

Stephanie Russo, "Contemporary Girlhood and Anne Boleyn in Young Adult Fiction," pp. 28.

“The English queen’s letters of reproof after the death of Mary’s second husband, Lord Darnley, in 1567, and the taking of his supposed murderer Bothwell as her third, are as renowned as they are resounding. Their tone suggests not only an urgent anxiety that the fallibility of one queen regnant should not reflect on another, but perhaps also a sense that Elizabeth — so often compared to her disadvantage to the maritally minded Mary — was now vindicated in her celibate choice.”

Sarah Gristwood, "The Queen as Artist: Elizabeth Tudor and Mary Stuart," 104.

Feeling safe in someone's energy is a different type of intimacy. That peace of mind and security is very underrated and I cannot emphasize this enough.
