Has anyone read this book? I am thinking of getting it on my Kindle but I read the first few pages and it seems very boring? I didn't even finish the sample; I know it is about reincarnation and Anne learning to forgive Henry but what else is there? Any specifics?

I'm reading a few books on Henry's wives and I am just baffled by Anne's hatred towards Wolsey. Did this really all just stem from him breaking up her and Percy? It just seems like such a trivial thing considering she worked to destroy the mans life and career.

Well, I notice in the series she doesn't ride side-sattle.
I was wondering if this is a reference to her time in France? (Women in France rode as men did) Or do you think it was just easier for Natalie Dormer to ride like that. I know women in England in that time would be shocked to see something like that, especially from a queen!

I read here that Season 4 will be the last season of the Tudors. What a pity... the brief life of Edward & the troubled reign of Mary, the always fascinating Elizabeth would make wonderful television... not to mention the machinations of the Seymours. I do understand that Elizabeth has been "done" many, many times... but I never tire of someone's new take on how her life & reign can be interpreted. (My fave still is Glenda Jackson in the BBC series, Elizabeth R) Also, I'm loving that Mary is being portrayed so far in a very sympathetic light... it helps to make her a real person & understand the damaging journey she took to becoming "Bloody Mary". I do hope the Producers reconsider and push on with the Tudor story... not just stopping with Henry. The whole saga is indeed worthy of soap opera status! I wonder how we go about lobbying the Producers for this!

Who is your favorite actress to have played Jane based on both looks and portrayal. I feel Emilia Fox and Anne Stallybrass did the best versions of Jane Seymour. Anne was a good soul who wished no ill on anyone yet I feel her Jane was less of a blank slate than Annabell Wallis portrayed. Annabelle's Jane kind of came off as fake and with no real personality. I did like her in the role but IMO she fell into the old trap of not delving deep enough into Jane the person. Emilia is a runner up to Jane, she also came off as sweet and loving but with a will and back bone, even more so than Anne. In the case of looks she was definitely too beautiful based on portraits Jane was the least attractive wife and I believe even her contemporaries had a hard time praising her looks. Emilia was the most beautiful Queen in the production. I can only assume that most people who have seen her in Henry VIII will remember the scene of her confronting the king about the deaths of the rebels and standing up to him, of course it ended badly but it that scene definitely gave Jane more substance than she is given in most productions.
I feel Wendy Barrie was the worst Jane along with Jane Asher.

Does anyone have any info on the relationship between these two? I've heard it was not great but the times I have seen in in dramas it is so hateful and I think this is an over exaggeration. Apparently Edward was reluctant or flat out refused to sign his brothers death warrant so there had to be some bond between them.

As Anne Boleyn Natalie Dormer gave a strong and convincing performance. She met Henry's wit and temper with her own strong head and intelligence. They were well met, both as actor and actress and as King and Queen. Her performance as Anne was strong and forceful and totally as Anne was expected to be. She was pushy and bossy and every way the Kings equal. She drove Henry mad and drove the audience mad as well. As mistress, this was acceptable: as Queen she did not learn to submit. Anne was Henry's equal in every way, but she was also his pawn and his subject, a lesson she learned frighteningly too late.
What a contrast with her role in Game of Thrones as the dim witted Queen Margery Tyrell! She is forced to accept that her husband has a male lover and leaves her to her own devices. She is charming and sweet, but she is also weak and dim witted. She is not the equal of a strong armed King, but his trophy wife who calms the situation and entertains visitors. Now she is a widow and a pawn once more, who wants to marry the overly spoiled Joffrey! With his vile appetites for violence towards women and his lack of self control as well as his vicious treatment of even his own family, he should be a delight to marry. He is nothing but a brat! And this dim witt wants the honour of joining with his house as his wife! Somehow I do not think that any of the qualities of Anne Boleyn will be found in this unfortunate role. She will just have to submit and accept her fate.

I've often wondered if Henry ever regretted the fate that befell his second wife, Anne Boleyn. It is said that he refused contact with their daughter, Elizabeth for some time after her mother's death. She was eventually welcomed back to court though, and it is well known that Elizabeth had the same dark eyes as her mother. I wonder when Henry looked at Elizabeth, did he think of Anne, did he think he made the right decision about her execution. Just a thought!

For me, it would be. Did you ever really love Henry VIII? I have my doubts.
and did you write your thoughts in a letter to your daughter before your death?

What, exactly, is the reason Ms Briem did not return as Jane Seymour for the rest of the Tudors? I've wondered why she didn't return to play lady seymour. not that i'm complaining, i haven't got anything against either of them. (i should probably be more supportive of Ms Briem, being that she's Scandinavian and i'm all into Scandinavian culture)

I always hear people say that Katherine was Henry's true love but I don't think he ever had one. I recall reading somewhere that Henry was infatuated with Katherine while she was married to his older both Arthur. Arthur died and Katherine was married to Henry. If it was true love why did Henry take a mistress so soon? The same with Anne Boleyn. Anne was an object that Henry wanted and could not have. He broke apart Anne and Henry Percey so that he might have Anne for himself. Anne rejected him at first and he really became obsessed with having her as his own. When he did finally get her he really did that same thing he had done to Katherine and took a mistress not too far into the marriage. When Henry wanted to get rid of Anne he turned to her polar opposite the blond blue eyed Jane who rejected him in the same way Anne had. I personally think that Henry was obsessed with the idea of getting rid of Anne and turned his full attention to a woman who was exactly the opposite of her. Anne of Cleaves really can be left out because we know he strongly disliked her. Katherine Howard was really a young girl who was a way out of a marriage for Henry. Henry wanted out of that marriage and turned to the young Katherine for his release. Catherine Parr was really, in my opinion, more of a companion than a wife however I do believe that Henry was determined to have her. It was clear as day that Catherine and Edward Seymour were in love and Henry wanted something he couldn't have so he sent Edward away and married Catherine.

Okay so I do hope that the tudors show has the right date for the execution of thomas cromwell and lady salisbury
As that would mean they both die in season four These two executions were two of the most horrid i have come to read about under Henry VII's reign When thomas cromwell died on 28th july 1540, An ametuer swordsman was hired to execute the "Treasonus traitor" and alas it took the inept man several strokes before he was able to sever his head properly as he kept missing his aim. The crowd who were present (he was not privy to a more formal exeuction like anne boleyn) cheered when atlast the painful ordeal was over and cromwells head fell onto the hay. Sadder still was the execution of Reginald poles mother in the spring of 1541. the woman declared at the scaffold that she was "not a traitor" and the axeman reportedly "hacked" the poor womans head and shoulders to peices before the head was seperated from her neck and fell...It was a butchery of a murder "that of a chickens death" Then later on there was the exeuction in 1587 of Mary queen of scots who was favoured by spain and the catholic countries to take the throne in england. Elizabeths advisor, Francis, soon saw to this and mary was accused of sending letters through papists in england, whether it true or not i am not sure anyway, Mary took three blows to the neck before her head was severed.
