Answers on this reddit thread that I found interesting:

Please feel free to add your thoughts to this!

#1: Mary’s “phantom pregnancies” were actually cancer or other gynecological issues.

#2a: Mary doesn’t get enough sympathy.

#2b: Mary shouldn’t have executed Cranmer.

#2c: Anne Boleyn deserves criticism.

#2d: Jane Seymour should get more credit for her role in Anne’s downfall.

#2e: Catherine of Aragon was a perfect match for Henry, and Mary should’ve been his heir.

#3: Jane Seymour was a “rebound” wife.

#4: Richard III killed the princes in the tower.

#5a: We don’t know Edward VI well enough to judge him fairly. (Note: I mean, he was 15 when he died. He was far from fully developed.)

#5b: Margaret Beaufort has an unfair bad reputation.

#6: Elizabeth I was uninterested in religion. (Note: Didn’t she execute people for being “heretical”/non-practicing?)

#7: Thomas Cromwell’s story should be viewed with nuance. (Note: You already know I agree with this lol)

#8: Phillipa Gregory bad. (Note: I enjoy her work, but I also appreciate that it’s heavily fictionalized. Though not as fictionalized as, say, the show The Great.)

#9a: Tired of hesring that “Mary, Queen of Scots deserved it.” (Note: I had no idea people feel/felt this way. How odd!)

#9b: Tired of hearing that “Anne never wanted to marry Henry.” (Note: Where does this idea come from? It seemed to me that that was all she ever wanted...)

#9c: Tired of hearing that “Jane Seymour was evil.” (Note: People think/thought she was evil?)

#10: Henry did what he did because he felt properly justified and had support from those around him. (Note: Ending on a hot one!)

NATALIE PORTMAN as ANNE BOLEYN

THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL

(2008)

[cosmic-walkers]

The category is: misunderstood/morally ambigious and extremely hated women who were used by their fathers for power and ended up becoming doomed queens and both them and their daughters suffered terribly for it.

Also both turn to religion in times of trauma

𓅃 ANNE BOLEYN WEEK 2024 𓅃

To say it’s archetypal isn’t actually doing it justice. It’s flat-out impossible to envision Anne Boleyn without her pearl-and-gold “B” necklace – a fact that filmmakers and book cover designers seem to agree with. ... We think Anne owned at least four ‘initial’ pieces during her lifetime; it seems she had her famous “B” of course, an “A”, an “AB” and an “AH” for her and Henry. - Erin Lawless
