Hever Castle
Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn. In chapter 4 the King makes says his goodbyes to Anne and her family, and then heads to London see if there has been any progress with his annulment. Anne decided to send the King a gift as a token of her love and commitment. Judging buy the size of the castle I do not think it set her father back much. I wish there were some letters from Anne to the King hidden somewhere in the Vatican; considering the fact that they have some to her from the King.
Chp.5 I really felt bad for Thomas Wyatt, but I am sure it is pretty hard to compete with a King; this guy was head over heels for Anne. The poem he wrote about Anne was beautiful. I wonder if his marriage problems had anything to do with Anne. The friendship they had was close and intimate, in a platonic way of course.
Chp.6 George shows up with a letter from Henry intended for Anne. The author of this book sure doe s go in to detail when describing facial features. The King's letter sounds like 16th century game, in my opinion, but whatever works I guess. The rumors are starting to circulate, abut Anne and the King, at the Palace of Beaulieu.
Chp 7. I can see why the King wanted Anne to still service the Queen, but I could not see the Queen wanting to have anything to do with Anne. When Anne's father tried to console her, he sounded more like a pimp consoling his whore, only without the violence. Status and power were the only thing on his mind, in regards to this union. Henry's gifts and promises to annul his marriage swiftly seem to appease Anne somewhat. the heated exchange between Anne and Thomas Howard was the climax for me in this chapter.
