Hampton Court Maze

MsSquirrly — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:26:00 CST

Known as the world-famous trapezoidal Maze, it is the only surviving part of a huge network pf paths and
labyrinths that made up William III's 'Wilderness Garden'. The only surviving hedge maze still in use, it was first planted with hornbeam from the Netherlands in 1689 and 1695 by George London and Henry Wise for William III of Orange at Hampton Court Palace. Here courtiers could escape the politics of palace life, and probably never to be seen again. In the 1960's the hedge was replaced with Yew, but now once again the hornbeam has returned to the middle of the maze after fourty years of being away.

In May 2005 a new audio installation was added. Called 'Trace', it is made by sound artist Greyworld who have created a gentle soundtrack triggered by motion sensors based on the idea of conversation. Visitors may hear a snatch of music, a burst of laughter or the rustle of fine silks and whispers of secret conversations that will vanish mysteriously round the winding paths. In the middle of the maze, touch sensitive benches also make sounds as visitors sit down (not farting, if that's what you are expecting, you may be dissapointed).

The maze streaches a third of an acre and has half a mile of paths. It may be that the present design replaced an earlier maze planted for Thomas Cardinal Wolsey. It still attracts people from all over the World, and every year thousands of them are happy to be wandering about in it. This is one place where you can really tell someone to 'get lost!'

The answer to the maze is to turn to the left on entering, and from then on to keep the hedge on the left, even into and out of dead ends. Would it be a good idea to do a sponsored walk in the maze (has wicked twinkle in eye).

There was a young teacher from Hayes
Took her class to the Hampton Court Maze
They got thoroughly lost
At a reasonable cost
The children and teacher from Hayes. I think their still in there wandering about, har har!

Name	Screen name	Reason for joining
Nor	Clumsyxheart	1) Jonathan Rhys Meyers is the hottest thing I have ever set my eyes upon 2) No one EVER is nice to poor Henry he has feelings too you know!
Fran	FMFJRMGRL cute my intials & his<3	I am so utterly addicted to Jonny! JRM has made HRM real to me! No fat suit needed!
Ana	AnnaBolena	why? BECAUSE I LOVE HIM! Is that a good reason? hahahaha. I think he is an excellent actor and I admire him! He is the perfect King Henry for me! Long live the king!
MRJ JRM backwards...just noticed lol	AnneBoleyn.	Because Henry VIII is my hero, my sovereign and my everything. I am not a fan of JRM though, but I don't have anything against him.
Liz	AnnebQueen	He is so amazing!! I would be his mistress if he gave me his favor!!
Lorraine	Lorraine67	I love him I love him I love him!!! haha!! Henry VIII was magnificently portrayed by JRM and both deserve this page!!! Henry was full of kindness and love, while JRM is full of Laughter and joy. Everything you want in both men :)
Lorie	Bluevanillalady	I love Henry VIII. I think he was misunderstood and have this need to defend him. Now JRM...one of the best actors I have seen in a long time. Everytime I watch him I forget that it is him. He sucks me right into his characters. I think an oscar will be in the works at some point in his career and we are only just seeing the begining.
Henry	KingHenryVIII	You know, I am vain....
Amy	Theothertudorgirl	My favourite tudor monarch, even if he chopped Anne and Kitty's heads off. JRM is portraying Henry wonderfull
Areti	BoleynGirl	I don't like Henry VIII that much but I love JRM.He's perfect for the role. Those blue eyes.....:-)
Maria	LadyJane1961	Lets stop blaming Henry for everything
Jessy	Ajnor	I'm a big fan of JRM and I love his portrayal of King Henry VIII...=)
Gloria	Eternity123	I love JRM, I think he's a brilliant actor (doesn't get enough credit for it) and he's not too bad to look at!
Victoria	Hever	Give Henry a break! He ain't so bad!
Stephanie	StephanieFord	Jonny is king in my book, whether he is Henry VIII or not, but since he is... I will bow to his feet any day. Not only that, but Henry needs some love too.
Jennifer	NJJennifer	You had me at "I am the King of England"
Leslie	LesMu	HOT and powerful ! I know he doesn't look a thing like the Henry VIII but who cares? It wouldn't be so much fun to watch then !!
George	Queen George	Leave him alone different times from now :)
Maria	MáriaTerézia	I think that Jonathan did a great job playing Henry's character. The character itself is developing and Jonathan shows Henry's human side as well, especially in the first season.
Alexandra	MissAlexSays	His portrayal of King VIII is so convincing and he actually is acting even more menancing in season 3. Every season he is showing us the transformation of someone who has total power. And all the while you remember he is JRM afterward and still hot. I agree Fran no fat suit needed. His talent doesn't need it. And well I like a slim JRM anyway.
monique	cranmerfan88	because i love jonathan , he is so wonderful
Peggy	LadyJaneSeymour	Jonathan Rhys Meyers is wonderful. I love JRM i thinks hi´s a brillant actor, hot and sexy :-)) Long Live Jonathan Rhys Meyers
Emily	QueenEmy191989	JRM is one of my favorite actors hands down. He isabsolutelybrilliant in any role he is in. Especially as King Henry,he provides a wonderful performance. Even more so in the third season. He improves the power of King Henry with every episode. He's one of the reasons I watch the Tudors. Even though Henry was a little wife crazy,it is still thrilling to watch this version of Henry unfold and like others,I agree. No fat suit is needed for this. Henry is still great in general. I agree with Peggy,Long Live JRM.
Lindsey	Theoneoffuzz	To say that I love Henry is the under statement of the year. In my eyes Henry was one of the best monarchs in history and though many dislike him, few understand the true circumstances that Henry came from and few if any could of done what he did. JRM is such an amazing actor and I don't think many others could do Henry justice, the charisma, youth and temperment JRM fits down to a T and though you may argue he looks nothing like Henry, I dare you to name another person who could do such a difficult role justice as JRM has done.
Alex	Edwardfan123	He is our famous Tudor and king. A few may dislike him but he is our most famous king and you can't get anymore famous. JRM is a good actor and really cute LOL
Adéla	Adeela
Donna	Desilee	He acomplished what he wanted to do. He wanted to be the most remembered King in History and he did. even if he was a tyrant he was the most real King there was. JRM plays the King exsactly like he should. Even if JRM is Adorable. I cant picture anyone else playing his part as werll as he does. Awsome Dude. LOL
Allison	TudorDescendant	I have to join JRM/HRM Team- he reminds me too much of my husband - when he has a goatee, he looks just like JRM! There is no other team for me! He's amazing @ the part!
KC Trisha	PrincessCordelia JRMSLADY09	I absolutely love JRM and Henry!! I think that JRM is a great actor and that he does a great job portraying Henry VIII. I joined this team well because I of course LOVE JRM and Henry!!! JRM is # 1 on my list of favorite actors because of his immense talent and ability to play the range of characters that he has & HE IS SO VERY SEXY!! Henry is my favorite KING and The Tudor Dynasty is my favorite dynasty because they brought order out chaos and Henry made England a strong force to be reckoned with!!
Nikki	Nikkibee	JRM is a fantastic actor and a GREAT King Henry!
Nicole	HRM77	I love jonny and henry is my fav character
Sabine	Queen1536	JRM shows the human side of Henry VIII and brings him to life. Plus: Who can resists these eyes?
Claudinne	Soulart	JRM is a fabulous actor, comitted to the craft, who's bringing King Henry VIII to life in unexpected ways. The show itself is a masterpiece in terms of production. I believe one of a kind in terms of TV series nowadays.
Sara	Elizabeth11	He is perfect, beautiful, gorgeus,and sexy Do i need another reason?
MC!	Perfectgal!"	Is there a reason.... Jrm is a beautiful, amazing drop dead gorgeous man!! Come on ladies the eyes!!
SArah-jane	jonnysgirl	I love Jonny, he has amazing presense and is a powerful actor he puts his heart and soul into it! I love him to pieces! other than that is so beautiful!
Susan	susan75	He is gorgeous, talented and I'm happily obsessed with him. AND The Tudors!
Ava	fleur_de_lis	Come on seriously! No Henry, no Tudors! Everyone should be a fan of him. And JRM is absolutely gorgeous. His acting skills are so ranged he can be loving and caring one minute, completely psychotic the next. He really suprised me with his abilities at Jane's death and through his grieving scenes. Considering he looks nothing like the real Henry i think he did brilliantly capturing his nature.
Lexie	thanx4venom	Look at those lips of his. That's why I'm joining.
Kav	henry's7thwife	I love him and I am going to marry him

THANK YOU TO ALL "I Love My Fans" ~JRM

Love you Jonny You are the most beautiful person ever, Leslie

Sue	offwithherhead	He is definitely gorgeous and even when he is in a scene with JRM, you can't help but gravitate towards him. I think that speaks volumes for his acting as well as his looks!
Christina	Tinili	Ok,I finally decided on our duke. JRM is very sexy, too but Henry is just like Swiss chocolate - the most delicious thing ever!!

Marilyn	PrincessChanel#5	He's soooo hot! Most definetly a king in my book.
Donna	Desilee Thank you for letting me join.	I agree with all of you he is quit the hunk, if Ihe was about 15 years oldrer.LOL ( he's going to age well) I 'd give you all a run for your money. They are all good looking people but, Henry C. is just acceptionally gorgous.
Erin	scarlett426	He's great looking, a terrific actor - and he has a killer smile! I can't resist ;)
Juliet	LostGirl1990	Charles Brandon is my favorite character on the show, I love how Henry Cavill plays him. :)

Lorraine	Lorraine67	OMG!!! Henry Cavill as Brandon is brilliant and gorgeous!!. I love his acting and he fits the part. :)
Victoria	Hever	He kept his head! Not easy!
Crystal	MzCMarie	I just found out that Henry is the hottie son in one of my fave films The Count of Monte Cristo :o)
Maria	Coronation	Because hes the hottest guy in the series handsdown! Izzy and Queen Medusa are amazing team leaders and pay amazing tribute to Henry Cavaill=)
Rachel	Ladyjaxs	Why would I not Join! I love Henry, he is such a great actor, and not only that he is a total hottie! swoons......
Judith	tudor_rose	because charles brandon is so sweet in season two, unlike the hot-yet-jerk he was in season one, and therefore more lovable!
Aurélie	Lily82	Does I really need to explain why?! XD He's so gorgeous and I like how his character changes through seasons...
Heleen	Heleen87	Brandon/Cavill rocks my world (you should see my desktop wallpaper!!!)
Jessica	gapeachjessica	He's hunkalicious and has a heart too. What's not to love?!:-)
Karen	LucifersMagic	Because he's hot, and lovely and...ooooooh!
Alex	Edwardfan123	He is a great actor. He played bad in season 1 and sweet in season 2
Lynnea	tudorfan79	I absolutely adore Charles Brandon. Besides I just spent the last day and a half defending him a thread! He is delicious.
Sara	Elizabeth11	I just love Henry, that is my reason
Meg	GoldenAged.ER	Ok, I'm a little late to the pack, but I was stuck waiting for my hair to be done at the salon.. reading a magazine and turned the page to an article on Henry. About he's the one to be watching this Season.. forget Jonathan(Henry) - so I was reading about him.. what he likes in a girl, etc. something just got to me.. to think he's my age as well. I'm starting to feel old... anyway, through watching Season 3, I have been really getting into his character. He has totally changed and for the better. I really did not like the whole playboy side. Must be why I'm not so in love with Henry VIII anymore. As the lady(man) in Little Britain says.... "Oh, he was *GORGEOUS!*"
Emily[Emy]	QueenEmy191989	I have always adored Henry since the first season of the Tudors for his adorable smile and womanizing ways. But of course I absoulty adored HC in any of his roles including him in Tristan and Isolde. He is a fantastic actor and how could you not love Charles Brandon? Now this is one courtier you could not take your eyes off of! And this season I think he really shines I believe. I'm always wondering what's gonna happen next! So in short,Henry is hot,wonderful actor and a killer smile...need I say more?
Ciara	CicaB	I fell in LOVE with him in I Capture the Castle and have loved him ever since... one word describes him... YUM
Kate	HeroineAddict	My heart will always belong to JF/Cromwell, but I've been really impressed by Henry Cavill's handling of the development of Brandon, how he's matured from Henry's playboy pal to a man caught between duty and self-respect. He's done an amazing job, particularly in Season 3.
Vicki	VickiLovesCharles	I thought Henry killed from the moment he first appeared as Suffolk. JRM is truly awesome as Henry VIII but my reason for watching the show is Henry Cavill. Will this become Henry's signature role? I can't wait to see more of him here in the U.S. Besides, I have to be a Cavill fan, I married a Charles! LOL
Regina	Reggie19	What can i say, the team leaders are the coolest, and i have to say that Brandon/ Cavill really impressed me with his scenes during the Pilgrimage of Grace!
Dolores	Dwinn10055	I have loved Henry since The Count of Monte Cristo
Gloria	Eternity123	Yes I've been persuaded! 1. Henry is hot, hot, hot. 2. I've seen a different side to Brandon although I don't like all of it, I can still appreciate his character development. 3. I think Henry has the acting chops, looks and personality to make it far in HW - I wish him the best. 4. The team leaders are the coolest bunch ever! 5. Oh did I mention Henry is hot, hot, hot??
Livia	Libejin	My hat's off to casting agent who chose H.C. to play Brandon.
Katie	Tilly	Henry is a very talented actor and a handsome young man who looks extremely good on a horse plus the Brandon team members are excellent pervers and deserve to be supported!
Maggie	Maggie-AnneB.	Well.. You've done it QueenMedusa and Izzy... I've join Team Cavill/Brandon. Reasons, reasons... 1. Henry's acting this season has been his best yet. 2. I love to hate Brandon. =D 3. Sex on a stick. 'Nuff said. ^ 4. Oh and The Anatomy of Henry Cavill. Drool
Amy	theothertudorgirl	I cannot believe that I have not joined this team before today!!! He is one of the best actors of his generation and one of the hottest as well!! Can't wait to see what's instore for Mr Cavill.
Donna	Desilee Charles at his best!	You do so much for us i wanted to do something for you QM & Izzy. I also hope this works. cross your fingers.
Becky	Roxykat	Reasons: 1. The Anatomy of Henry Cavill 2. Cavill Fans - Love ya girlies!!
KC	PrincessCordelia	I think that Henry Cavill is a really good actor and can't wait to to see him in more things. I also think that Charles Brandon is an awesome character because he is Henry's best friend and is really one of the only people Henry can really trust.
Trisha	JRMSLADY09	I joined this time not just because Henry Cavill is a wonderful and sexy actor. I also adore Charles Brandon as a character because he has never wavered in who he has always been devotely loyal Henry VIII and let's be frank loyalty in those days was like a true and and loyal friend they were the greatest boon any man could aspire to have.
Chelsea	Maryboleynfan	Where 2 start!!!!! he is the hottest guy on The Tudors even more than JRM. He supported Queen Katherine of Aragon and her daughter Princess Mary that will earn him a place in my heart forever!
Becky	HistoricQueen3	He has to be one of the hottest guys on the planet, plus he loves egyptology, which makes him hotter in my book!
Aly	WickedRose	Too hot guy :P
Ailin	WhimsicalDream	He is handsome and talented and I am hoping he would catch his big break soon!
Ana	annabolena	Because he is an excellent actor, hot and sexy
Melissa	English-Rose	I am in love with Henry Cavill, and I think he's the most attractive man I've ever seen in my life. If I were to choose an ideal husband, it would definitely be him :) He's just so extraordinarily beautiful, incredibly charming and extremely sexy XD. I knew about Charles Brandon way before 'The Tudors' TV series started, since Tudor history has always been one of my greatest passions, but now I've seen Henry Cavill playing Brandon, he has become one of my favourite people in this fascinating period of English history. I adore the true story of Princess Mary secretly marrying Charles Brandon, without the King (her brother) knowing, it's just like a fairytale or disney movie, except it's better because it actually did happen! I also admire Charles & Mary of Suffolk because their granddaughter is my favourite figure in the whole of history; the 'Nine Days Queen', Lady Jane Grey. Well, better end it there, or I'll be typing forever... Go Team Cavill/Brandon!!!
Ava	fleur_de_lis	Henry Cavill is an brilliant.actor. He is extremely talented and good looking. Even though Brandon isn't always a good guy he makes him so real, warm and charming that you can't help but fall in love with him. He can do anything from raunchy romps to emotional scenes and i always feel sympathetic towards his character. A wonderful character who is brought to life once more by an amazing actor!
Florencia	ohyoudo	I just love this man so much
H.	Lady.In.Red	Well all you really have to do is look at him but honestly both the character and the actor are heart throbs. Though it is all down to Henry bringing the Duke to life in such a vivd and heart-warming way. He plays Charles with such passion and is able to easily transform from a raunchy playboy to a devoted family man. Such a flawed character yet ooh so loveable. Top that off with a sapphire blue eyes and a perfectly ripped body he can be might knight in shining armour any day.
eulalia	lala	just wanted to say hi to all cavil/brandon fans and say that i am happy to join you . henry is really so gourgeous

PRODUCTION NOTES:

The Cast	Where we last saw him/her
King Henry VIII...............Jonathan Rhys Meyers	When we last saw Henry, the world was as unfair to him (in his own mind) as usual. His leg killed him, his wife was ugly, and his minister had betrayed him in setting up the Cleves marriage. At least one thing seems to be looking up - he reclaimed his manhood with a young new dish - Katherine Howard.
Charles Brandon....... ......Henry Cavill	Having just participated in the plot against Cromwell, the Season 3 finale leaves us to believe that the Duke is not terribly pleased with what he has become. His handling of the Pilgrimage of Grace eats at him in the form of hallucinations, and it can't feel great to have your wife eye you sitting with the Seymours and Bryan
Katherine Howard.............Tamzin Merchant	Twirling around on a garden swing (in her birthday suit), Katherine Howard was last seen giggling with Henry VIII in bed over Cromwell's downfall. That hesitant reading of Cromwell's cry for "mercy, mercy, mercy" makes us hope that Katherine might have realized what she is getting in to when she becomes Wife Number Five to Henry.
Sir Francis Bryan.............Alan Van Sprang	The last time we saw Sir Francis, he had just arranged for a rather gruesome doing away with Thomas Cromwell. He had also hooked the King up with Katherine Howard, making us wonder how it will go for him when she eventually strays.
Anne of Cleves..............................Joss Stone	Having just been told she was no longer queen, Anne of Cleves seems to be getting a pretty sweet deal compared to Henry's previous three wives. This one is a true "Survivor."
Edward Seymour...............Max Brown	Seymour's, his wife's, Bryan's, and Brandon's scheming brought down Thomas Cromwell. He seems to be ok with Bryan sleeping with his wife, too. Gotta wonder about that competitive look between him and his brother at the end of the season, though, especially considering that Prince Edward is often under his hawk-eye watch.
Thomas Seymour ................Andrew McNair	Thomas Seymour spent most of his time as Francis Bryan's right-hand lackey last season, chasing after Reginald Pole. Rumor has it he is attracted to a new character this season - Catherine Parr.
Princess Mary...............Sarah Bolger	At the end of Season 3, Princess Mary stoically carried on as Phillip of Bavaria was sent back to his homeland by her father. Luckily, she is back in her father's favor and currently looks after her sister, the Princess Elizabeth, in her household.
Princess Elizabeth.................Claire MacCauley	Princess Elizabeth showed a bit of a feisty streak last season, telling her sister the Princess Mary that she didn't think their father loved them any less than their brother, Prince Edward. Time will tell when the next season begins.
Prince Edward.............Eoin Murtagh & Jake Hathaway	Prince Edward is a very protected little boy - you would be, too, if your dad ordered that your room be scrubbed from top to bottom every day. We look forward to Edward's relationship with his older sisters this season.
Jane Boleyn....... .....................Joanne King	We last saw Jane Boleyn serving Queen Jane before her untimely death. Word on the streets says she will be a Lady in Waiting to Katherine Howard - we look forward to seeing how that will turn out.
Catherine Brandon.................Rebeka Wainwright	With a dismayed glance at her husband's machinations with the Seymours and Bryan, and her earlier chastisement of her husband for his role in putting down the Pilgrimage of Grace, we sense that Catherine Brandon is no longer so happy in her marriage. Time will tell how that will play out.
Hans Holbein......................Peter Gaynor	Hans just painted a nice portrait of Anne of Cleves. Too bad Henry didn't think it compared to the flesh version of Anne, but we doubt Henry will give up on Hans because of that.
Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey...............David O'Hara	Howard is a new character. Historically, he was the Duke of Norfolk's son and a friend to Thomas Wyatt.
Thomas Culpepper....................Torrance Coombs	According to some sources, Culpepper is a returning character from last season (Episode 8), although you wouldn't know it without some dandy detective work. Culpepper will be doing his best wooing for Katherine Howard this season...we'll see how that works out.
Ambassador Marillac (???)......Lothaire Bluteau	As an alliance with the Holy Roman Empire is formed, a war with France looms. Ambassador Marillac will no doubt be in negotiations (or perhaps intrigue?) with Henry and his councilors for a good portion of the season.
Catherine Parr......... Joely Richardson	Survived...Henry VIII's sixth and final wife makes her debut this year.

The Most Fabulous Anne Boleyns

Anne, Anne, Anne....the King's greatest matter! Let's see her most famous faces:

Anne, Anne, Anne....the King's greatest matter!

Let's see her most famous faces:

Genevieve Bujold played Anne Boleyn in "Anne of a Thousand Days" in 1969 The film begins in 1527 when Henry VIII reveals his dissatisfaction with his wife, Catherine of Aragon . He is currently enjoying a discreet affair with Mary, a daughter of one of his courtiers; but the King is bored with her too. At a court ball, he notices Mary's 18-year-old sister Anne, who has just returned from her education in France. She is engaged to HenryPercy and they have achieved their parents' permission to marry. The King, however, is enraptured with Anne's beauty and orders Cardinal Wolsey, to break up the engagement. When news of this decision is carried to Anne, she reacts furiously. She blames the Cardinal and the King for ruining her happiness. When Henry makes a rather clumsy attempt to seduce her, Anne bluntly informs him that she finds him "spoiled, vengeful and bloody. You make love as you eat — with a great deal of noise and no subtlety." Henry brings her back to Court with him, whilst she continues to resist his advances out of a mixture of repugnance for Henry and her lingering anger over her broken engagement. However, she becomes intoxicated with the power that the King's love gives her. "Power is as exciting as love," she tells her brother, "and who has more of it than the king?" Using this power, she continually undermines Wolsey, who at first sees Anne as just a passing love interest for the King. When Henry again presses Anne to become his mistress, she repeats that she will never give birth to a child who is illegitimate. Desperate to have a son, Henry suddenly comes up with the idea of marrying Anne in Catherine's place. Anne is stunned, but she agrees. Wolsey begs the King to abandon the idea because of the political consequences of divorcing Catherine. Henry refuses to listen. When Wolsey fails to persuade the Pope to give Henry his divorce, Anne points out this failing to an enraged Henry. Wolsey is dismissed from office and his magnificent palace in London is given as a present to Anne. In this splendour, Anne realises that she has finally fallen in love with Henry. They sleep together and, after discovering that she is pregnant, they are secretly married. Anne is given a splendid coronation, but the people jeer at her in disgust as "the king's ****." Months later, Anne gives birth to a daughter — Princess Elizabeth. Henry is disgusted at this and their marriage begins to cool. His attention soon travels to Lady Jane Seymour, one of Anne's maids. Once she discovers this liaison, Anne banishes Jane from court. "She has the face of a simpering sheep," she informs Henry, "and the manners, but not the morals. I don't want her near me." During a row over Sir Thomas More's opposition to Anne's queenship, Anne refuses to sleep with her husband unless More is put to death. "It's his blood, or else it's my blood and Elizabeth's!" she cries hysterically. More is put to death, but Anne's subsequent pregnancy ends as a result of a stillborn boy. Henry demands that his new minister, Thomas Cromwell, find a way to get rid of Anne. Cromwell tortures a servant in her household into confessing to adultery with the Queen; he then arrests four other courtiers who are also accused of being Anne's lovers. Anne is taken to the tower and placed under arrest. When she is told that she has been accused of adultery, she laughs. "I thought you were serious!" she says, before being informed that it is deadly serious. When she sees her brother being brought into the Tower, Anne asks why he has been arrested. "He too is accused of being your lover," mutters her embarrassed uncle. Anne's face shudders with horror before she whispers, "Incest?... Oh God help me, the King is mad. I am doomed."* At Anne's trial, she manages to cross-question Mark Smeaton, the tortured servant who finally admits that the charges against Anne are lies. Henry makes an appearance, before visiting Anne in her chambers that night. He offers her freedom if she will agree to annul their marriage and make their daughter illegitimate. Anne refuses, saying that she would rather die than betray their daughter. Henry slaps her before telling her that her disobedience will mean her death. A few days later, Anne is taken to the scaffold and beheaded by a French swordsman. Henry rides off to marry Jane and the film's final shot is of their young daughter, Elizabeth, toddling alone in the garden as she hears the cannon firing to announce her mother's death.

In 2007 Natalie Dormer made a great impression by playing Anne Boleyn in "The Tudors" Season One of The Tudors chronicles the period of Henry VIII's reign in which his effectiveness as King is tested by international conflicts as well as political intrigue in his own court, while the pressure of fathering a male heir compels him to reject his wife Katharine of Aragon for Anne Boleyn. He also has a string of affairs, and fathers a son, Hnery, by Bessie Blount. Season Two finds Henry as the head of the Church of England, the result of his break with the Catholic Church, which refused to grant him a divorce from Katherine. During his battle with Rome, he secretly marries Anne, who is pregnant. Anne's own failure to produce a son dooms her as Henry's attention shifts toward Jane Seymour.

Season One of The Tudors chronicles the period of Henry VIII's reign in which his effectiveness as King is tested by international conflicts as well as political intrigue in his own court, while the pressure of fathering a male heir compels him to reject his wife Katharine of Aragon for Anne Boleyn. He also has a string of affairs, and fathers a son, Hnery, by Bessie Blount.

During his battle with Rome, he secretly marries Anne, who is pregnant. Anne's own failure to produce a son dooms her as Henry's attention shifts toward Jane Seymour.

A second Natalie(Portman) comes in 2008 to portray Anne Boleyn in "The Other Boleyn Girl" (the most fictional account) When Catharine of Aragon fails to give England a male heir, the Duke of Norfolk and his brother in law, Thomas Boleyn, scheme to install the latter's elder daughter Anne in the court of Henry VIII as the king's mistress and potential mother of his son, thereby furthering their own political ambitions much to the disgust of Thomas' wife and the duke's sister, Elizabeth Boleyn. Although Anne initially refuses because she knows being a mistress can damage her reputation, she finally agrees to please her father and uncle. However, while visiting the Boleyn estate, Henry is injured in a hunting accident, indirectly caused by Anne and is nursed by her recently married sister, Mary. While in her care, Henry becomes smitten by her and invites her to court. With great reluctance, Mary and her husband William Carey agree, knowing full well what will be expected of her. William is then sent away on an assignment by the king. Separated from her spouse, Mary finds herself falling in love with henry. Rebellious Anne secretly marries betrothed nobleman Henry Percy to impress her family and confides in her brother George. Thrilled, George tells Mary about the secret marriage. Fearing that Anne will ruin her reputation by marrying without the king's consent, Mary alerts her father and uncle about the secret elopement. The men confront Anne, who argues that what has been done before God can't be undone and that the marriage has been consummated. Despite this, the marriage is annulled and she is exiled to France in disgrace. Feeling that Mary betrayed her to increase her own fortune, Anne vows revenge. Despite the scandal, the family's fortunes seem secured when Mary becomes pregnant. However, Elizabeth Boleyn warns Thomas and Norfolk that the king's favor can be taken away as easily as it is given, but the men ignore her. When Mary nearly suffers a miscarriage, she is confined to bed for the remainder of her pregnancy. Norfolk recalls Anne to England to keep Henry's attention from wandering to another rival, particularly Jane Seymour. Still deeply hurt by Mary's betrayal, Anne embarks on a successful campaign to win Henry over, showing she has grown more mature prior to her exile. By withholding her sexual favors, she forbids him to bed his wife or speak to Mary for the hope of possessing her. Anne exacts this promise just after Mary gives birth to the much-anticipated son, Henry, making her victory hollow. Shortly afterwards, Henry banishes Mary from court. She returns home just as her husband, William, dies of the sweating sickness. The ambitious Anne encourages Henry to break from the Roman Catholic Church when Pope Clement refuses to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. Henry succumbs to Anne's demands, declares himself the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, and divorces his wife. The scandal of Anne's brief, secret marriage to Henry Percy threatens her coming marriage to Henry until Mary, out of loyalty to her family, returns to court and lies on Anne's behalf, assuring him her union with Percy was not consummated. Despite her plan's success, Anne's schemes drive Henry to his breaking point mentally and he rapes her. Hurt and confused by the attack, a now pregnant Anne goes through with the marriage to please her family and becomes the new queen of England. Anne and Mary reach a reconciliation and Mary stays with her sister at court. She eventually meets William Stafford, a young soldier, and the two eventually fall in love and get married. Despite the birth of a healthy daughter, Elizabeth, Henry is angry with Anne's failure to deliver a son and legitimate male heir to the throne. After she miscarries their second child, a boy, a now hysterical Anne begs George to impregnate her. Though he refuses and calms Anne back into reason, his neglected wife jane witnesses enough of their encounter to become suspicious. Her testimony leads to the arrest, trial, and eventual execution of both George and Anne. Upon hearing the news, Elizabeth Boleyn denounces both her husband and brother, vowing never to forgive them for what their greed had done to her children. Leaving her children in William's care, Mary returns to court to plead for her siblings' lives, but arrives too late to save George, who is executed in front of his horrified father. Mary begs Henry to spare her sister, referring to Anne as part of herself. The king softens and tells her he would never harm part of her. Believing that Henry has spared her sister, she leaves to see Anne right before the scheduled execution. The two sisters embrace and truly reconcile. Before she leaves, Anne makes Mary promise to take care of Elizabeth if anything should happen to her. Mary watches from the crowd as Anne makes her final speech. A letter from Henry is given to Mary, which reveals he has decided not to intercede the execution and save Anne. It also tells Mary that she was only spared because of his respect for her and warns her never to come to court again, because her family's disgrace could result in danger to her. Horrified, she watches as her sister is bheaded. Mary then fulfills her last promise to Anne and leaves court with the toddler Elizabeth.

Members of Team Richardson/Catherine Parr

*17 Members & Counting*

First Name	Username	Reason for Joining
Amy	theothertudorgirl-Team Leader	Catherine was a fantastic Queen Consort and made a lasting impression on a Young Elizabeth. She brought a troubled family together and was full of Grace and Dignity.
Annette	Neta07-Team Leader	my 2nd fav Queen of Henry absolutely fell in love with her after reading "Six wives" by Antonia Fraser. Catherine Was such a wonderful and loving Person.
Julia	LadyLizzy	Catherine became a mother to Henry's children and also took little Lady Jane Grey under her wing. She encouraged their interest in learning, published books in her own right and was clever enough to talk herself out of danger. She combines loving care with a sharp wit.
Sara	queen_elizabeth_1533	I love Catherine Parr, she is one of my favorites, and I will gladly give her my support!
Jessica	gapeachjessica	She was intelligent, and a wonderful stepmother to Edward, Mary, and Elizabeth. She helped to restore Mary and Elizabeth to the succession.
Monica	princeedwardfan	I belive she was an intelligent woman and a kind stepmother to prince Edward and princess Elizabeth ( Mary was a young adult and she had no need for motherly affection unlike her brother and sister)
Aislinn	AislinnBeaudry	Dear Katherine Parr. A sweet lady, a brilliant intellectual, and one of the greatest (and most influential) stepmothers in history. A spirit of loving kindness and reconciliation. A rare and beautiful woman, never to be forgotten!
Anne-Laure	Lady-Anne	I really look forward to see more of her! She seems to be sympathic in every kinds of way and yet, she's always a shadow behind a sick and painful dying-Henry... She has all of my support!^^
Gloria	Eternity123	She was a kind woman; who looked after her step children. She helped mould Elizabeth into the great Queen she was. She is a very interesting consort and sometimes forgotten as just the one who "survived". I love her passion and dedication. Hopefully her story will be played out well on the Tudors. Go Parrrr!
	TheSecondWife	A kind, intelligent, and brave woman who made the best out of what she had. I respect her greatly :)
Jessica	Jes89	Sweet and kind lady that above all the things was comprensive and too inteligent.Love the way she cared for Mary,Elizabeth and Edward.
Kelly	booklvr44	Catherine Parr was a woman who was truly ahead of her time. She was educated and opinionated. She also played a major role in the Reformation and expressed her opinions in spite of Henry's disdain for her radicalized religious views.
Trisha	JRMSLADY09	She was a woman ahead of the times ,and was not afraid to express her views no matter what the subject whoever may have found it distasteful. I also applaud her for taking on the role of loving step-mother she did something that she didn't have to but did with grace and dignity.
Becky	HistoricQueen3	I think she was a great queen who cared for her stepchildren lovingly until her death, she was also a good match for henry, who in his old age, was very close to being outwitted and outmatched by catherine parr!!!
Lex Anne	Isabella_of_Castille	Catherine was a passionate, warm-hearted, attractive, and devout author and intellectual. Anyone who was able to talk Henry out of burning her at the stake for heresy must have possessed tremendous courage and wit! She had a profound sense of duty but was unafraid to pursue her own happiness - albeit quietly. She was a dream stepmother to Henry's traumatized children and, by carefully hand-picking their tutors, probably had more to do with both Edward's and Elizabeth's ultimate affinity for Protestantism than anyone else.
Henry	KingHenryVIII	-looks up at what is written above- Exactly my words! There is nothing more to add except, that I adored her for loving me the way I am and caring so much for me when I was ill and especially when I was bound to the bed. Too good for me.
H.	Lady.In.Red	Catherine Parr is to me the most fascinating of all the 6 wives of Henry VII. It's a tragedy that so little is known of her and how solemn her story is told. She was an intellect beyond that of Anne Boleyn, who was a philosopher and a woman with an opinion. She had such courage and bravado to voice her views at a time when women were thought of as to be seen and not heard. She risked her own life to defend Anne Askew when the martyr was being ridiculed. Bound by duty she sacrificed her mind, body and soul in order to further her family and please her King. Having to endure Henry when he was at his most unstable and tyrannical of states. Able to outwit her Catholic enemies and persuade Henry to let her live. The man who forced her apart from her one true love Thomas Seymour. It was her one chance to finally be able to decide her fate and choose who she wanted to marry. To endure the terror of the Pilgrimage of Grace where she was held captive and her husband was forced to house the rebels. The unwavering courage she had to to not have to just to live through that but her husband being arrested and her whole livelihood at stake. To help restore Elizabeth to favour and bring all the Tudor children together. To welcome Anne of Cleves as part of the family( they were said to be like sisters.) To rule by herself, as Regent, the first woman in a couple hundred years. And to inspire her step daughter that is was possible for a woman to rule is truly amazing. Her reign was short, as was her happiness but she left an everlasting impression. (Sorry for rambling.)

First Name	Screen Name	Reason for Joining
Jéssica	Jes89-Team Leader	She was a great queen,intelligent and strong woman.One of my favorite female monarchs.
Annette	Neta07-Team Leader	Well she was a great Queen, the Actress who plays her is really cute!, and she was brought up in a hard world that discriminated women to a certain degree.
Natalie	TheLadyNatalie	My favorite historical figure's daughter.. what's not to love?! She was one of the strongest women in my opinion to ever walk this earth. I can't imagine what she went through as an individual. I can't wait to see how she develops throughout the series!!
Juliette		Not only is this famous monarch the daughter of the most controversial queen who ever reigned, the fabulous Anne boleyn, she lost her mother at the age of three, was accused of being "pregnant at 17 to Kate Parr's husband Thomas Seymour, arrested then made Queen all before her 23th birthday. What a reign it was, she lived so long for a woman in those days and was known as a true ruler among men, many of whom were her advisors. An amazing single woman and the most influencial of her day and even now she remains an inspiration to women everywhere.
Ana	AnnaBolena	She was a great queen with personality and she stong enought to rule a kingdom on her own
	Brunet	Elizabeth was a woman of outstanding intelligence and strength. She has been and always will be one of my personal heros.
Sara	queen_elizabeth_1533	It was reading about Elizabeth that inspired me to learn more about the Tudors, so I owe it all to her! An amazing, independent woman, strong and clever, more than I every wish to be!
Stephanie	hrm_elizabeth	Elizabeth was an amazing and intelligent individual. Also, she was an independent thinker who stood on her own.
Areti	BoleynGirl	Elizabeth the I was the greatest queen England has ever had...Her mother ,queen Anne Boleyn is my heroine so how can I not admire Elizabeth??
MRJ	AnneBoleyn.	She was a great woman and Queen. And had great parents ;)
Jacquie	jmccoy2272	Probably one of the most brilliant women of her time. She was the perfect combination of her parents mixed with the knowledge she attained through her circumstances that resulting in a very formidable and successful queen
Regina	Reggie19	The most successful Queen of England in a time where women are looked down upon. Need i say more!
Henry	King Henry VIII	Elizabeth is the living image of me. She is strong, proud, intelligent and beautiful. I am the most proud of her and she has always been my favourite daughter, although I never got to tell her that.
Amy	theothertudorgirl	Elizabeth was the Golden Queen and a wondeful woman and very independent.
Emily	forgetful_blonde	She was and is the best Queen Europe has ever seen. Intelligent and wise as well as passionate. I have read over and over the accomplishments and acts of this amazing queen and yet still find her story so amazing.
Victoria	Hever	An amazing woman!
Meg	GoldenAged.ER	I've been in love with Elizabeth since I was a girl. When I found out the relation to her, I became even more interested in her life and hence got sucked into the Tudors and Anne Boleyn. She was a great ruler, the best female ruler of all times, because America just seems to want to stay Patriarchal.
Selene	teenqueenselene	I've always believed that women doesn't really need to depend on men to have a happy and meaningful life. Elizabeth is living proof of that. I look up to her and her mother Anne Boleyn.
Maria	LadyJane	She was strong and smart!
Jessica	gapeachjessica	She overcame a horrible childhood, and became one of England's most successful and beloved monarchs.
Alex	Edwardfan123	England's favorite queen and the child actress is such a cute little girl (She reminds me of Little Tiff from Eastenders)
Monica	princeedwardfan	I think she was a great queen and she demonstrated to Europe that a woman can be a great ruler like a man.
Celia	TheLadyCelia	An independant woman and great queen, Elizabeth ruled England magnificently, all without marrying. Her perserverance is something to be admired.
	TheSecondWife	Do I really have to say why? Awesomely amazing woman and Queen, and I can't wait to learn more about her.
Sabrina	LadytoAnneBoleyn	She was an awesome woman, and great queen.
KC	PrincessCordelia	From what I've seen of Elizabeth in the show, she seem to be awesome!! I hope we get to see more of her in the next season. And, from what I know of history, she was a great queen! I can't wait to learn more about her!!
Trisha	JRMSLADY09	Elizabeth was a princess who was supposed to be born a prince but one day became more than anyone could have a dreamed a great and powerful Queen.
Becky	HistoricQueen3	Elizabeth became the most powerfull and greatest queen england could have asked for, she proved to everyone that a queen can be just as good as a king.

Join Team Anne Boleyn!

Put your name in the chart below

Member's First Name	Member's Username	Why did you join?
Natalie	The Lady Natalie-Team Leader	I'm a huge Anne Boleyn Fan! What more can I say?
Annette	Neta07-Team Leader	Wow were to start i mean the whole second season was devoted to her and she owned that season.
	Brunet	I've been fascinated with Anne Boleyn for ages. So much has been written, yet she is still an enigma. Natalie Dormer really brought her to life for me. An amazing woman. An amazing actress. I'm fans of both!
Faye	Shadow_in_the_Sun	I love Anne!
Jéssica	jes89	I love Anne because she was ahead of her time, and natalie because she is a great actress, she won a new fan here \o
Olivia	annefan324	OMG! Because Anne was a kickass woman and Natalie Dormer did a FANTASTIC job portraying her in The Tudors. Thanks for inviting me!
Rachel	BoleynGirl13	I love Anne because she wasn't afraid to stand up for what she believed in. Also she gave birth to England's greatest ruler ever and a girl no less!
Juliette	howardfan	Naturally I am on Team Boleyn, so far she is the best character on the showtime show and the real AB is so controversial and fascinating! GO ANNE
Julie	annbolynfan	I joined cause I am HUGE fan of hers. And Natalie did a WONDERFUL job portraying her.
Claire	Ciere	Anne Boleyn has always been my heroine, and I feel I can relate to her more than any of the other wives. And I love Natalie Dormer because she's just beautiful, intelligent and amazingly talented. She plays Anne like I always pictured her.
Meg	goldenaged.er	I've always been a huge fan of Elizabeth I, didn't know much about Anne Boleyn until the end of the first Season after I found out my relations to the Tudors. So I started watching the show and was very much intrigued with her. Elizabeth behaves a lot like her mother did. Both have infectious personalities, survived so much as a woman, and changed England in their own ways. Natalie's portrayal of Anne drew me in. She was the perfect pick. I'm so sad that she had to die. Ah, history.
Rose	QueenAnneBoleyn	As you may be able to tell from my username I absolutely adore Anne Boleyn! She is my true heroine and Natalie Dromer portryas her in the best possible way. I love the show as well!!!
Sara	Elizabeth11	I love Anne Boleyn!! and also love the work that Natalie did on the Show, Is a pleasure to be here
Arabella	Arabella_Brandon	I love Anne because of how strong and independent she was she just didn't take any crap from Henry and I appreciated that and I love Natalie because she played Anne with such fire and grace and she is the best Anne by far she owned the character. She is a fantastic actress and she did a brilliant job.
Ana	Anna Bolena	I Love Anne because I know she had the personality to be queen. She was strong and very very educated, with a lot of culture and Inteligent. I love Natalie Dormer in this character because she did it excellent and she really represented Anna Boleyn as she was. She is an excellent actress and I admire her a lot.
Joanne	Boleyn1536	I have always admired Anne's courage. Her loyalty to friends and her great sacrifice for her child. I don't have Showtime but I have caught bits and pieces online of second season and I do have season 1 on dvd. Natalie gave Anne a unique perspective. I feel that one of the best parts I have seen of season 2 is Anne in the Tower. Incredible performance. I am very surprised she was not nominated for an Emmy.
Christen	actchickcee	I first became intrigued with Anne when I saw that Natalie Portman was going to be playing her. I got online and started reading up on the character. Anne is so fascinating. I love the intrigue of the story and how in the end she triumphs through Elizabeth. When The Other Boleyn girl came out I was horribly disappointed with her portrayal. I Stumbled onto Natalie Dormer's Anne and to me she created the definitive Anne. She was so amazing in every scene. The show won't be the same without her.
Sara	annaboleyna	I love anne boleyn! im the biggest anne nerd youll ever know. And natalie portrays anne so well, and shes hot :]
Bev	Neveleo	I am a hugeAnne Boleyn fan, in fact you could say I am slightly obsessed! I strongly believe she should be exonerated 'crimes', along with the poor men who were executed for supposedly being her loves. Anne Boleyn - the Queen Bee of Queen Consorts, may she rest in peace xx
Jacquie	jmccoy5712	I love Anne Boleyn because of what she represents to me- human in every way. So much history tries to paint prominent people as "good" or "bad". She was neither. She wasn't perfect and she did what she felt she had to do to survive in a time where women had few choices- but she also never settled for second best. She loved her daughter and gave England one of the best queens in history.
Sara	queen_elizabeth_1533	Anne Boleyn was an independent, intelligent, motivated woman, ahead of her time. She took a brave risk not to be like other women, and her death was a sad loss and a horrible thing.
Kristen	Quene_Anne	I've been an Anne Boleyn fan since I first learned the history of Henry and his six wives. She made such huge changes in her few short years. I often wonder what her life would have been like for her if she had given her husband his heir.
Areti	BoleynGirl	I love Anne Boleyn.She's my heroine!An amazing woman.The most influential and important queen consort England has ever had."Her daughter" Elizabeth the I ruler of the Golden Age greatest queen England has ever had...
Stephanie	hrm_elizabeth	Anne Boleyn was intelligent, a loving mother, strong, and courageous, even to the day of her death. Natalie Dormer's portrayal of Anne Boleyn is one of the best I've seen! It was just as I had imagined Anne Boleyn being.
Ana	mrsBullen	An amazingly strong, intelligent and bold woman ahead of her time. Just absolutely awesome. How can you not admire her?
Kat	Mizuki09	Anne-An absolutely amazing woman waaay ahead of her time. She wasn't afraid to fight for what she thought was right, and she was intelligent, a loving mother..etcetc, the list goes on and on! Natalie-It is a travesty she didn't get an Emmy, because her acting in season two is some of the finest I haver ever seen! An actress for the ages I must say!
Lorraine	Lorraine67	I love Anne Boleyn and the way how she was ahead of her time. She wasn't afraid of anyone and if someone stood in her way of achieving what she wanted she found a way to work around them. As for Natalie, she is a fantastic actress with a lot of talent yet to give the world.
MRJ	AnneBoleyn.	She was a great woman and Queen and had a great mind, except that she had the man I love.
Lanastasia	Anne'sCurls	She was a magnificent but flawed woman. I love Anne Boleyn for her flaws and for her attributes. She has always been my favorite of Henry's wives and I am happy that despite her ill treatment while she was alive she is now the most famous. No woman deserves to be murdered by their husband simply because they didn't provide a son and has the audacity to speak their mind! Another thing I love about Anne is that I believe that at the end she realized all the things she did wrong to everybody including Katharine and Princess Mary.
Regina	Reggie19	Absolutely love Anne Boleyn, she was a woman centuries ahead of her time, and wasn't like the submissive and subordinate ladies of her era. She spoke her mind, expressed her opinions, and wasn't afraid to be herself no matter who (cough... Henry) told her otherwise.
Liz	AnnebQueen	I love Queen Anne!
Kate	HeroineAddict	I've loved Anne Boleyn for ages, and Natalie completely captured the complexity of this woman. She played her as intelligent, wilful, independent-minded, sometimes arrogant, sometimes compassionate, always fascinating - a flawed, completely believable human being. Love both Nat and Anne.
Maggie	Maggie-AnneB.	Anne Boleyn was the ultimate woman and she is one of my heroes. Natalie Dormer is a complete genius with the way she has brought Anne Boleyn back to life.
Becky	Roxykat	I've always been interested in the life of Anne Boleyn, and Natalie Dormer did a great job portraying her. Will miss her in season 3!
Henry	King Henry VIII	Anne Boleyn was a fascinating woman. She surely knew how to seduce a man and especially me. She possessed me in every way possible. After all what happened and everything she or I did, I need to look beyond it, and then, but only then I can say that I adore her in some way and especially thank her.
Claire	FirstTrueQueenAnne	Always been an admirer of Anne Boleyn and now also an admirer of Natalie Dormer thanks to her brilliant performance on the Tudors.
Melissa	Truebloodvamp13	Anne has always been my favorite historical figure. Natalie did an amazing job of portraying Anne. She will be missed in season 3.
Jack	MaccaJack	Anne has been my idol since I was a very young child. Natalie portrayed her exactly as I had imagined and hoped for. I will miss her captivating presence in Season 3.
Cate	BlackNan	Anne Boleyn is an amazing woman who was fiery, passionate, educated, facinating, everything a woman shouldn't be. She captivated me as she did Henry VIII.
Amy	theothertudorgirl	Anne Boleyn was an amazing Queen Consort. Natalie was the best portrayer of Anne that I have seen and she will be sorely missed.
Emily	forgetful_blonde	How to summarise into one paragraph? Sorry, I just can't! I'll just put it simply, I've joined the team because I absolutely love Anne Boleyn. As a matter of fact she was the main reason I got interested into Tudor history....so I should actually thank her for that! Thanks Anne

Selene

teenqueenselene

I adore Anne Boleyn. She is unique and extraordinary. She doesn't conform to them, she makes them conform to her. I love that she gave birth to the greatest Queen.

Oh and Natalie Dormer is beyond words. She is the perfect Anne Boleyn none have come close.

Laura

ladyinwaiting1986

She is my favorite of Henry's Queens. I feel for her.
She loved her daughter so much.

Emma

AnneBoleynFan74

Well naturally i think she was a wonderful, smart, caring, powerful woman who I would have love to have met in person! She made English history with the reformation and the birth of her fantastic daughter Elizabeth. I believe we owe very much to Anne!

AnneBoleynHero

I love Anne, everything about her is fantastic! I enjoy her sense of fashion, her B necklace, her ability to captivate a whole country. Her loving nature towards Elizabeth even though she was female. Her love towwards the art, and the love of her king. Anne truly was the Queen of England !

Judith

um, can i sum this up in a paragraph? nah, let's just leave it at i love anne boleyn!

Victoria

Love Love her

Marisa

automaticeyes

I love Natalie Dormer as an actress, and Anne Boleyn is my absolute favorite historical figure, as well as my favorite wife of Henry VIII. She was intelligent, graceful, outgoing--everything that represents women today! She was what England needed. Unfortunately at the time, she came in the middle of a period where people loved their current queen. The false accusations against her were unjust, and if there was ever enough evidence to pardon her today, it would be fantastic to witness.

Veronica

k_anne

I like anne, she is my queen!. And i love Natalie, she is beautiful and excellent actress.

Raquel R

DuchessRLR

She is my favorite characterr and Natalie Dormer plays her in a way that is had to resist. She is willful and independant and at the same time, still at the mercy of men-so given her situation she shows shes strong. And its true that Anne Boleyn left her mark on history and Natalie was the perfect actress to show just how she did it.

Becky

xbeckчч

Anne is a very interesting character to have watched, she was so strong and knew how to speak up for herself. I loved Natalies portrayal of this historical figure, and I am also a follower of Natalies work, she was a a wonderful choice. I have to agree with Raquel R, Anne has left a mark in history

May

Simple. Anne was an amazing person. And Natalie's acting was fantastic! (plus she had beautiful gowns)

Great actress and beauiful young lady

TheSecondWife

Because I hope to learn as much as I can about this amazing woman! As well as support Natalie in her future work as an actress :-D

Emma

Emma_GG

Because it's all about Anne Boleyn. She is one my favourite ever historical figures and inspirations. Anyways, I chat loads about how much I love Anne so you'll here more about it.

As for Natalie, she was wonderful too! Beautiful and sexy and wearing the amazing dresses. Oh, and she was paired with JRM *sigh*

Emy

QueenEmy191989

I'm soooo late in joining this team but of course I have to join as I loved the history of Anne B. RIP Anne Boleyn but anyways,I loved her personality in general,she tempted Henry with her beauty until finally they were together. Also I think Natalie is a beautiful and wonderful actress.

Celia

TheLadyCelia

Clearly, I'm a HUGE Anne Boleyn and Natalie Dormer fan. I'm a bit late in joining this team as well, but Anne has always fascinated me. She was a strong woman as well as an inspiration for any feminist- she knew what she wanted, and she got it. Her strength, personality, and courage were completely and utterly phenomenal! And, of course, Natalie's a FABULOUS actress!!

Sarah

Vivala

Beautiful, bitchy, and complicated. Who could ask for more?

Anne-Laure

Lady-Anne

Anne Boleyn, a name that must sound familiary for you guys, but for a French chick like me, it was a bit blurry, like you know some part of foreign myth you only hear about when it comes to anecdots or fairytales...
I've become fascinated with this woman who fit so well in her time but also far far ahead!
I've seen her portrayed by Natalie Portman first and I was a bit confused: her Anne didn't looked like the one I had made inquieries on... And then came Natalie Dormer and every was just... right!

Sabrina

LadytoAnneBoleyn

She was a great woman who deserved to live out her life, and do more in the world. She is one of my heroes!!! I think Natalie did a wonderful job portraying her.

Caitlin

caitthequeen

what can i say, you guys are my PEOPLE!

Meg

LadyBoleyn

I LOVE Anne Boleyn! she's my all-time favorite historical figure, and always will be. her wit, courage, charm,determination, and strength are unmatched by anyone. She's both a role model and a heroine to me. She was an incredible woman who shall never be forgotten! & ofcourse, natalie's portrayal is wonderful!

Jessy

Ajnor

I'm also a bit late in joining the team. ;-) Natalie is an amazing actress and I really love her portrayal of Anne.
She has portrayed her as a strong, self-conscious and beautiful woman.
I have really enjoyed it to see her as Anne Boleyn. =)

Trisha

JRMSLADY09

Anne Boleyn at first I didn't know much about her but since becoming a fan of The Tudors I have come to understand and admire her for being a strong, intelligent,and determined woman. Natalie is one of my favorite actresses she earned that distinction after I saw her in the film Casanova she did a marvelous job in that film as she did playing Queen Anne!

Amber

QueenAmber

Anne Boleyn wow my hero! She is everything i wanna be! I saw Natalie Portman's perfromance in "The Other Boleyn Girl" and it was astounding. So i started researching Anne, Henry Elizabeth, heck everyone from that era.Then i started hearing about the Tudors and at first I didn't know what it was and when i found out; OMG!! I saw Natalie Dormers performace and it was absolutely STUNNING! i loved it and i love her! Anne is my role model and m personal hero! I wish she was Edward's mom and I wish she didn't have to die but perhaps her tradgedy is part of what makes us lover her right?!

Becky

HistoricQueen3

I think she was an extremely strong and brave queen to stand up to henry and to not shed a tear at her execution, I particulary loved her moving speech at her execution.
She also gave birth to the greatest queen england has ever known!

Anne

Anne_the_quene

She's the main reason for my watching The Tudors. I knew a lot about Anne Boleyn before, and I held her in great esteem, so I was wondering how does she look like in the series and then...in the first episode, season 1, I found that Natalie Dormer is really interestedly beautiful woman, so I decided to watch the show and check if she is also a good actress, not just lovely. And she was excellent!! I sooo loved her playing Anne Boleyn that I have to love more Anne herself. I think I'm now quite obsessed with her... :)

I've also seen The Other Boleyn Girl. I enjoyed it, and Natalie Portman is my most favourite actress, but Natalie Dormer is a thousand times better Anne...I'd love to see more films with Dormer :)

Sabine	Queen1536	Anne Boleyn was such a courageous woman who fought for everything she believed in an loved. She stayed every inch the queen, even at the scaffold!
Meagan	Tudor_Queen	I absolutely adore Anne Boleyn and everything she stood for. So little is known about her and no matter how many books I read I can never seemto get enough. The Tudor dynasty is by far the most intriguing and Anne Boleyn is my favourite Queen for everything she was, and I respect her for everything she endured at the court of Henry VIII including the grace with which she was executed.
Anna	anne21	LOVE YOU ANNE BOLEYN !!!!!!!
Chloe	TheLadyTudor	I love Anne boleyn. She is such a fascinating and amazing woman. Though I can in no way condone what she did to Catherine, Mary and others she still did a lot of good and was an amazing woman.
Thomas	ThomasMills	I have become TOTALLY interested in all of the Tudor history but more focused on Anne Boleyn over all others. She is such an intruiguing, amazing, and fascinating person.. so far ahead of her time in your actions and demenor! If there was one time period I feel I would fit in it is this time.. The plotting, deviousness, and overall hard life...It would be very cool!.
LoliE.	Loli Esperanza	Dear Miss Dormer, Your are as fascinating as the former Ann Boleyn. It is really good to see History with human characters and not only with final paints. Thank you to you to give me so many more interest than historians. With you it is possible to feel that Ann was not only the instrument of his father and uncle but a real in love woman. with all best wishes to you. Sincerely.
Melissa	English-Rose	I just had to join this team, Anne Boleyn has to be the most famous of Henry's wives, and I think she was such a fascinating character. I can relate to her a lot, since I am like her in many ways eg. ambitious, calculating, emotional and my brother says I look like her! Natalie Dormer is a brilliant actress, and I think her portrayal of Anne was extremely good. I think Anne's brutal end was totally unnecessary, and I don't believe any of the lies people made up about her, to me she is completely innocent and did not deserve to die. Long may you reign in heaven, Queen Anne! GO TEAM ANNE BOLEYN!!! (By the way, I've made my writing red because in my view, it's the colour which suits Anne best.)
Lexie	thanx4venom	She is the most fascinating person in all of Tudor history.
