you can call anne boleyn many things, good and bad alike. a protestant martyr, however, is not one of those fucking things
#personal
#like a martyr in the context of christianity is a very specific thing
#a martyr is someone who is killed (oftentimes by the state) for their religious beliefs
#and that sure as shit isn't anne boleyn
#because anne wasn't killed for her religious beliefs at all!
#anne was killed specifically because her husband felt she was reproductively useful anymore and wanted to marry someone else
#her religion had fuck all to do with it
#which we know because the charges henry lobbed at her had nothing to do with religion it was all about adultery and incest
#because he just wanted her out of the way because he was a misogynistic ass
#was anne a protestant? absolutely! was she a martyr? no fucking way!
#if you want an example of a martyr from that time period thomas more is the closest thing
#as he was very explicitly killed for being a catholic and thus refusing to bow to henry's supremacy as head of the church
#if you want a protestant martyr then look at thomas cranmer when mary burned him
#which she did very specifically because he was a protestant (and also she kinda hated him personally because of the great matter)
#(but mostly for being a protestant)
#like anne's murder didn't have anything to do with religion at all
#and i'm tired enough that i've decided to get mad about it
