How would Anna boleyn family ( her father, brother, mother and sister) react to king male not caring about having a son?

At first they are surprised. Indeed, they are very happy. They think that your daughters are lucky to have such a husband. They do not hesitate to say that they are proud of their groom.

In the Source Link, you will find a complete gif pack of Sophie Boettge in Blood, Sex and Royalty. Sophie played the role of Jane Boleyn.

Jane Boleyn was born as Jane Parker, she was by birth, the second cousin of King Henry VIII and became the sister-in-law of Henry's second wife Anne Boleyn when Jane married Anne's only brother George Boleyn. She was known as Viscountess Rochford or Lady Rochford, she later became a lady-in-waiting to Jane Seymour, before the same position to Anne of Cleves. She testified that Anne had confided in her that she and Henry had not consummated their marriage, which allowed Henry to annul his marriage to Anne of Cleves and marry Catherine Howard. Jane maintained her position as lady-in-waiting to the new queen. Jane was arrested along with many people and the Queen after rumours about her past surfaced. Suffering from a nervous breakdown to months of mental abuse from the interrogations, she was legally pronounced insane and unfit for trial. However, Henry manipulated the law so that the legally insane may be executed for high treason, as such, Jane along with Queen Catherine were charged with high treason and sentenced to die on February 13th 1542. Jane appeared calm and serene before the end.

When Catherine was eight or perhaps ten, Mary married William Stafford for love and ended up in her family’s bad books and cut off financially. A big question lingers over where Mary and William lived after their marriage, but Catherine had reached the age to be ‘put out’ to another household by this stage. I suspect the Boleyn family placed her either in the household of Anne Boleyn, or her Uncle George Boleyn. Anne was already looking after Mary’s son, Henry, so why not her daughter too? That there are many gaps in the household records of this time could explain the non-mention of Catherine’s name as part of either her aunt or uncle’s household.

i say this in the kindest way possible but i think there's a lot of american critiques of saltburn that just don't quite grasp the british class system? and like i'm australian i haven't experienced it myself but like. the cattons are not the kind of rich that a person could conceivably aspire to. these are people descended from the mr darcys of the 19th century, who made their money from slavery and colonialism and it still hasn't run out and likely never will. they're probably related to the royal family somehow. oliver being so obsessed with them and doing terrible things in an attempt to reach that status despite being relatively privileged himself makes so much sense in that context.

#saltburn #like yeah hia family are comfortable he goes to oxford he'll probably end up with a very lucrative job but he will NEVER reach their level #even after inheriting the house their peers are never going to consider him one of them because he can't trace his lineage to anne boleyn #btw i do think the class commentary is messy at best but i've seen a lot of 'well oliver lives in a nice house and goes to oxford #why would he be so obsessed with the cattons??' and first of all. the cattons are jacob elordi and rosamund pike. like hello. #second of all this is like another level of wealthy

By Leslie Patrick

1 August 2023

Anne Boleyn (c. 1501 or 1507 – 19 May 1536), King Henry VIII's second queen, is often portrayed as a seductress and ultimately the woman responsible for changing the face of religion in England.

In reality, she was a fiercely intelligent and pious woman dedicated to education and religious reform.

But after her arrest and execution on false charges of adultery and incest in May 1536, Henry VIII was determined to forget her memory.

Her royal emblems were removed from palace walls, her sparkling jewels tucked away in dark coffers, and her precious books disappeared from the pages of time.

One of Boleyn’s books that has reappeared is the Book of Hours, a stunning prayer book, printed around 1527 with devotional texts designed to be read throughout the day, features hand-painted woodcuts — as well as a rare example of the queen’s own writing.

In the margins of one of the beautifully decorated pages, she penned a rhyming couplet followed by her signature:

“Remember me when you do pray, that hope doth lead from day to day, Anne Boleyn.”

The book vanished with Boleyn’s execution in 1536, then resurfaced around 1903 when it was acquired by the American millionaire William Waldorf Astor (31 March 1848 – 18 October 1919) after he purchased Hever Castle, Anne Boleyn’s childhood home in the English countryside.

The hiding place of the disgraced queen’s devotional tome had been a mystery for centuries, until recent research by a university student uncovered hidden signatures that helped trace its path through history.

The discovery

The book’s whereabouts in the 367 years between Boleyn’s death and its reemergence remained puzzling until 2020 when Kate McCaffrey, then a graduate student at the University of Kent working on her master’s thesis about Anne Boleyn’s Book of Hours, found something unexpected in the margins of the book.

“I noticed what appeared to be smudges to the naked eye,” recalls McCaffrey, assistant curator at Hever Castle since 2021.

Intrigued, she borrowed an industrial-strength ultraviolet light and set it up in the darkest room of Hever Castle.

Ultraviolet light is often used to examine historical documents because ink absorbs the ultraviolet wavelength, causing it to appear darker against the page when exposed.

“The words just came through. It was incredible to see them underneath the light, they were completely illuminated,” the curator recalls.

McCaffrey’s theory is that the words were erased during the late Victorian era when it was popular to cleanse marginalia from books or manuscripts.

But thanks to her extraordinary detective work, these erased words turned out to be the key that unlocked the tale of the book’s secret journey from certain destruction at the royal court to safety in the hands of a dedicated group of Boleyn’s supporters.

The guardians

Indeed, various pages throughout the text reveal the names and notations of a string of Kentish women — Elizabeth Hill, Elizabeth Shirley, Mary Cheke, Philippa Gage, and Mary West — who banded together to safeguard Anne's precious book and keep her memory alive.

While it’s unclear how the book was initially passed to these women, Anne Boleyn expert Natalie Grueninger suggests it was gifted by Anne to a woman named Elizabeth Hill.

Elizabeth grew up near Hever Castle, and her husband, Richard Hill, was sergeant of the King’s Cellar at Henry VIII’s court.

There are records of the Hill’s playing cards with the king, and there may have been a friendship between Elizabeth and the queen that prompted Boleyn to pass her prayer book on before her execution.

“This extended Kentish family kept the book safe following Anne’s demise, which was an incredibly brave and bold act considering it could have been considered treasonous,” says Grueninger, podcaster and author of the book The Final Year of Anne Boleyn.

Anne’s Book of Hours was passed between mothers, daughters, sisters, and nieces until the late sixteenth century, when the last name makes its appearance in its margins.

“This story is an example of the women in the family prioritizing loyalty, friendship, fidelity, and a personal connection to Anne,” says McCaffrey.

“The fact that the women have kept it safe is a really beautiful story of solidarity, community, and bravery.”

The book, currently on display at Hever Castle, is a touchstone of the enigma that was Anne Boleyn.

Castle historian and assistant curator Owen Emmerson points out that the book contains Anne’s DNA on the pages from where she touched and kissed it during her daily devotions.

“This was a really beloved possession of hers,” says Emmerson.

“Because of what happened to Anne Boleyn, we don’t have a vast amount of information in Anne’s own words. But the physical remnants of her use of the book, and the construction of that beautiful little couplet, have her identity in them.”

While Anne’s Book of Hours has finally found its way home, the research into this intriguing historical mystery is not yet over.

McCaffrey continues to chart the book’s provenance through the centuries to find out where it was hiding all this time.

The discovery of the inscriptions illuminates the book’s furtive journey, providing us with a glimpse into the controversy, loyalty, and fascination that Anne Boleyn has engendered for the past 500 years.

What is Anna boleyn family reaction to powerful Sultan reader marrying Anna boleyn?

I think Anne's family is both surprised and very happy. They are relieved that she will finally be with a man who will give Anne what she deserves. Moreover, they see this marriage as an opportunity. They will be very upset about this.

The Boleyns are often portrayed as an extremely ambitious family. But when goes to read about, the Seymours seem to fit that description better. Am I wrong to consider this?

No I feel exactly the same way. There’s really no evidence that Thomas Boleyn pushed either of his daughters towards the King (I also have no idea where the story that Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk did so either. For one thing, Norfolk and Boleyn hated each other so why would Norfolk want to do something that could benefit Boleyn?). On the other hand, Chapuys basically says outright that he believed Jane was coached by her brothers to entice the King. And when you consider both Edward’s and Thomas’ later careers…

It’s wild to me how people have made the Boleyns out to be these scheming social-climbers while the Seymours were “good” and Jane was just a victim of circumstance because, in reality, it was basically the exact opposite. (And, not to get too pedantic, but if we’re talking about “social-climbing” the Seymours were actually lower down on the social scale and less well-connected than the Boleyns at the time that Anne & Jane met the King [when Anne met Henry in 1525/26, her father was a Viscount and held several prominent positions at court; when Jane met Henry in 1536, her father was a knight and her brothers were, essentially, nobodys.)

The new queen's white falcon was on prominent display throughout the pageant, resting on a bed of Tudor roses. Although it is now synonymous with Anne and the Boleyns in general, Henry had only granted it to her on her elevation to the marquessate of Pembroke. It was a fitting choice because the same bird had long been an emblem of Anne's Irish ancestors, the Butlers, earls of Ormond. It also had strong royal associations and had been used as an emblem by the celebrated warrior king Edward III, as well as by Henry's maternal grandfather, Edward IV, with whom he strongly identified.

#tracy borman #anne boleyn #no one ever mentions this but yeah it edward iv's symbol which #probably another interplay with henry utilizing symbols and titles of his family to relay significance #(pembroke and richmond etc) #for anne this means lancastrian (pembroke) and yorkist (falcon in the fetterlock specifically was edward iv's symbol iirc) #interesting bcus like most her own lineage had ties to both #elizabeth tilney was yorkist and william boleyn seems to have survived the cull of transfer between powers #(falcon with the open fetterlock #sorry... insignia? is that the right word?) #badge? whichever. he used it . #it seems to have originated with the first duke of york (edmund of langley) #henry viii #henrician #1530s #*most nobles

Random HC:

After having just come back to life Anne was still not used to calling Catalina by her first name and would sometimes slip up and still refer to her as "my queen", "your Majesty", etc. At first Lina would mock her about it, saying that no matter how much she insisted she was the ruler of England deep down she still recognized Catalina as the real queen.

As Anne and Catalina's relationship got better Lina decided to stop making a thing of it and would just let Anne slip up without saying anything.

When they truly became friends, Catalina started to call her "Lady Anne" whenever she accidentally used royal titles.

It became sort of a inside joke around the house and now whenever Lina demands something or Anne does a chore a lady in waiting would normally do the other queens go right back to calling them "your Majesty" and "Lady Anne".
