Answer 1

Wow your lucky i do a study on king henry VIII and her name comes up alot even when i talk about his 5 th and 6th wife.

So i know alot about her. The personality of Ann Boleyn which i think you might want was that she was a very determined woman with a edge to her we might just naturally have being born in a modern age. Back then it wasn't common for a woman to speak her mind which she so often did. She actually planned part of the cunnig plot and winning plot to take Katherine of Aragon down (Henry VIII 1rst wife)

She was also a jealous woman and made scenes in front of court by yelling and defying Henry and calling him out on his mistresses. She was devious and very dark, but her only sweet side came to her daughter elizabeth and when she died it is said that she "didn't want anything happening to her only daughter" and the only thing she was disapointed in was that when she died her daughter would become a b*****d and not legit. Which we all know she was. Ann also was unkind to her sister, but not totally frosty like she was with others, just severe sister rivalry. She was also a flirt and keep men on there toes by her dark and mysterious looks.

That is how she caught the kings eye because she was not some wildflower out in the breeze but a storm that brought drama after dramas with the king

which kind of lead to her downfall

Answer 2

Just before execution? Petrified

Answer 3

In a private one-to-one interview with Queen Anne:

Your Majesty, how do you feel about being the Queen of England?  How have you adjusted to it?

Under what circumstances did you find out you were to marry King Henry VIII? How did you feel about it?

How do you feel about His Majesty?

Are you aware what happened to your predecessor?  How do you feel about it?

How are you coping with His Majesty's desire, some say, obsession to have a male heir and what have you done or plan to do about it?  Have you made any promises?

How confident are you at producing a male heir?  What if you don't?  What then, will you do?  Do you have a back-up plan?

And what if some of the same questions were asked a day before her execution?  What reflections would she have?  Would she be praying, cursing, lamenting or would she be in total silence?  

Here are a few suggestions for you to prepare your role.  I am certain you will be fine.  Break a leg!

Answer 4

Stell, the girl spent her whole "school years"in courts in France and England, without much emotional support from her merchant or middle-class family. On arrival in England from her french upbringing, she fell hard for a guy named Henry Percy who happened to be the son of the most important noble in the North of England, so the family and Cardinal Wolsey banned their marriage. Anne made the decision to favour ambition over affection, and strung Henry VIII along for years.Her failure to provide a living son for Henry cost her her throne and life, as Henry accused her of high treason in trying to seduce other men, including her own brother, and had her executed. If you've seen the late film "Elizabeth, the Golden Age" with Cate Blanchett, you will se how Elizabeth loses her control and has nervous attacks, which is a factor she got from Anne, also renowned for being jumpy and unbalanced at times.

Hope this helps!
