Amy James-Kelly as Anne Boleyn.

[boleynqueenes]

This modest woman does not want to be your concubine. She wants to be your wife. This woman desired to be joined to you by an indissoluble bond. She desired to remain with you perpetually. And in this passionate longing you responded mutually. In fact you actually surpassed her [in passion][...] you thought it would be the greatest achievement of your fortunes, the height of happiness, if your legitimate and just wife were cast out [...] and it were permitted you to be united with this woman in matrimony and live with her forever.

[boleynqueenes]

Alice Oswald, from Memorial: A Version of Homer's Iliad [ID'd]

[boleynqueenes]

Superficially, nothing [much] had changed [...] Anne should have felt more secure than ever. With Katherine dead, there was no one else who could claim to be queen, a comforting thought for the entire family. Yet Chapuys informed the emperor that while Anne was jubilant, she was also anxious 'lest she herself might be brought to the same end.' She understood only too well that the specter of a forcible return to Katherine had been lifted from her husband. Should anything befall her, he would be free [...] to enjoy a [marital] union un-blighted by controversy or scandal. And Henry, who at one time would never have so much as glanced at another woman, had strayed twice in recent months, once with her own cousin. Still, providing she gave birth to the longed-for son, her position would be impregnable. No breath of criticism, or any hint of disrespect, would be allowed to touch the mother of the next Prince of Wales, the prospective king. With a little prince slumbering in his cradle, any future affairs Henry might choose to wallow in would be conducted with the utmost discretion, not a situation Anne would relish but possibly one she could tolerate.

Anyone else think it’s kind of ironic that Henry and Anne married on 14 November when that’s the exact same date Arthur and Catherine got married in 1501?
