Doomed Queen Anne

We all know about the Beheading of Queen Anne by king Henry the 8th. Well this book is from her viewpoint.

I am reading Doomed Queen Anne right now. This book is about Anne Boleyn and her childhood, and how she seduces King Henry the 8th.

Anne was always over looked when she was a child. Her sister Mary was Beautiful and Anne.. well she was not. Her Mother wanted to send her to the nunnery since she had defects; she had a mole on her neck and an extra finger.

Anne was send off to France were she learned about manners and all the things she needed to be a " young lady". While she was learning these things her older sister Mary was the kings mistress, and bragged about it all the time. Once Mary was married off ( still the mistress to the king) she told Anne that she might be the next mistress to the king if she behaves herself and gets in good favor with the king. All that Anne says it that she does not want to be the mistress but the Queen, and that Mary wold bow down when she saw her.

Well that's about as far as I'm in the book at the moment.
I read this book before and loved it.

  1. It seems that Anne shows resentment towards her sister.. but does her sister show the same in return?
