Anne Boleyn - do you think she now sympathised with Katherine?
As Anne starts to realise Henry's love for her is disappearing and he now wants someone else, do you think she starts to feel how Katherine of Aragon felt? Do you think she felt sorry for her, now she knows how it feels? Does anyone know of any references to her thoughts on this?

Anne Boleyn - Protagonist or Pawn?
The following was posted on page 2 of the Anne Boleyn profile and rather than muddy that up, I thought it might be good to start a thread on this subject here:
Anyone who did not agree to Henry's assumption as head of the Church of England or to Ann's daughter replacing the rightful heir, Mary Tudor, daughter of Katharine of Aragon, was sent to the block or the scaffold; she may not have actually sent them to their deaths, but her vengeful and petty machinations did. Among those were Thomas More, John Fisher, and many other clerics; she was responsible for the downfall of Thomas Wolsey, the King's friend and able counselor (unlike More and Fisher, Wolsey had no qualms of conscience in carrying out the King's will; he was just unfortunate enough to be unable to secure the divorce and to have incurred Ann's enmity.) When he fell out of love with Ann, Henry resented the loss of the friends and counselors that love of her had caused him to execute. She was also known to advocate the deaths of Queen Katharine and the Princess Mary. This woman was far from an angel. She just
stepped over or on anyone who stood in her way.
In reply:
-It is simplistic to believe that Anne alone was responsible for the deaths of Wolsey, More & Fisher. The Tudor court politics was made up of factions of influential people who supported their patrons. More & Fisher were supportive of the catholic faction of Katherine and her daughter. They became collateral damage when the Boleyn faction which at the time was supported by Thomas Cromwell & the Protestants had the King's "ear". The reformation was advanced by their deaths. In turn Katherine's daughter Mary executed many many more during her reign.

Anne is probably the only person to ever say "no" to the King.
That sentence was in the "Interesting Facts" on this page about Anne Boleyn which started some comments so I thought I would start a thread so more opinions can be added. Here were the comments:
- WRONG: Katharine of Aragon did it (as in 'no' to the divorce, 'no' to being deposed as queen, 'no' to sending Princess Mary's christening robes for Ann's daughter to wear) for years, and in the end, she kept her head, but then, she was the aunt of the Emperor Charles V, whom Henry feared, as well as royal in her own right and a Spanish national.
- Katherine may have 'said' no but Henry did divorce her, did depose her as queen and had his way regardless of her protests. Whereas Anne said she would not be his mistress.
- Anne stopped saying 'no' and became Henry's mistress before her secret marriage and sometime after being created Marquess of Pembroke. Anne came to her marrriage on January 25th 1533 pregnant. Erickson, "Mistress Anne. pg 186, Fraser, "The Wives of Henry VIII pg 187, Weir, pp 240-41, Williams, "Henry VIII and His Court" , pg 123. Fraser quotes Ives who is thought to be more sympathetic to Anne, Apparently even he wrote about Anne's pre-marital pregnancy, so they all must have had a contemporary source.
Katharine never stopped saying 'no' and kept her head in spite of that. Anne said 'no' to Henry's subsequent affairs and did not give him a son besides. He deposed her, divorced her, and beheaded her.
- Jane Seymour also said 'no' to Henry - When he was courting her during his marriage to Anne, he sent her a purse of money and a letter. Jane returned both gifts without even opening the letter, refusing to be his mistress, and often reminded Henry of the fact that he was still married.

Arthur and Katherine
If the Tudors portray the reign of King Henry VII, how will Arthur and Katherine's relationship be handled? Will or will they not portray Arthur and Katherine consummating their marriage? And if they do, how will you feel about that?

Do you think anne boleyn changed the face of england??
I think that Anne Boleyn made england what it is today for 3 reasons...
1. If she hadnt married Henry then Elizabeth I wouldnt have become queen
2. Henry VIII would never have married Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard or Catherine Howard
3. If Henry hadnt insisted on his divorce from catheine of aragon then he wouldnt have made himself head of the church of england and started a revoult amoungst his subjects
What do you guys think??
Do you agree or disagree??
Do you have any more reasons to add to my list??
What do you think England would have been like if Anne and Henry never married??

Does anyone feel a little cheated about Katherine of Aragon?
I was just wondering if any of you felt cheated that we never got to see more of Katherine of Aragon. We got to see Anne Boleyn's whole time with Henry right through to her death. We will also come to know the rest of his wives and their relationships. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I wish we had been given the opportunity to see more of Katherine's life with Henry....as it began....when it was good. I realize many of you are huge Anne Boleyn fans, and I can understand that, but I have always liked Katherine alot. She did, after all, have 24 years with Henry and much could have been done with her story. All we got to see was a rejected woman that was a shadow of her former self. The producers may have thought that it would be more juicy to start where Anne came in, but if we had been given the chance to know Katherine better, it might help to understand Henry better.
Just my thoughts..anyone else have any?

Henry VIII's Obsession with a Male Heir
If Henry was so obsessed with getting a male heir, couldn't he have just said Bessie Blount's son was now in line to the throne? And what about Mary Boleyn's son Henry Carey, who many thought was Henry VIII's son? I know it was regarded as "treason", but if Henry was able to leave Rome and do all of that, couldn't he do that as well?
