Anne Boleyn

Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour and Anne of Cleves today. First Anne Boleyn though. 
Okay, Anne Boleyn was a child to Lady Elizabeth Howard and Thomas Boleyn. Anne was schooled in many subjects in many categories. In regular classes ( by regular I mean stuff we learn today), reading, spelling, grammar, history and writing. Domestic; Dance, embroidery, manners, management, music and singing. Games; Cards, chess and dice. Wikipedia didn't list anything specific. She was trained in bloodsport too. Such as archery, hunting, horseback riding and yes, hunting. Anne stopped Her education in 1521. She was then a maid-of-honor to queen Claude of France. Anne was quite pretty with black eyes and hair. Anne came to royal court in 1522. she was then sent from court and returned to serve Catherine of Aragon. The Spanish queen of England, and first wife to Henry VIII. Henry was beginning to pass documents that Mary (Catherine's daughter) was a bastard, and divorced Catherine. He then married Anne who gave birth to a daughter, Elizabeth, and Henry was ANGRY. so angry he imprisoned Anne in the Tower of London. He then had her executed. INTERESTING FACT: Anne never got a proper coffin. A servant from the yard put her body in a chest and she fit because he put her head on her stomach!

We should start training you in bloodsport so you can take care of the fox in the yard.
