Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's second wive, is his most famous and arguably most divisive wife. Catholic apologists maligned her as a seductive adulteress who provoked the schism with Rome, while Protestants extolled her as the martyred mother of the glorious Queen Elizabeth I. But Anne was far more complex than these stereotypes. She was passionate, intelligent, incredibly courageous, and at times, vengeful and hot-tempered. But we can all agree she deserved better than her tragic fate, courtesy of her worthless husband. Sidenote: I realized I didn't describe Anne's appearance in the episode like I did last time with Catherine of Aragon so here's a quick description. Anne was 5'3, with dark brown hair and equally dark eyes, her most attractive feature. She was not conventionally attractive, but she was incredibly charming and charismatic, and her quick wit drew Henry's interest.
