I praise her for being such a wonderful and courageous person as Queen Anne Boleyn. She could of lived another 100 years, I feel so sad for her, l didn’t know the full crimes until now. I am sorry to say but I think King Henry VIII was very cruel to her in sentencing her to death like that, I have read about her execution and what she supposingly did which lead to her execution, but after reading her demise I found out that she never committed those crimes in which she was executed for. I think it is such a shame that she had to die that way, when king Henry VIII condemned her to be executed, he really didn’t need to bother if he wanted her out of the way, then why didn’t he just tell her face to face rather than poor Anne Boleyn having to face something that should of never happened in the first place. Taylor states that women, on the whole, have a weaker sense of ego – and therefore, it is more vulnerable to being blown apart by severe trauma. In her own death, she also faced separation from her beloved daughter, Elizabeth. Anne was not only facing her own death but two days prior to this had possibly witnessed the execution of her own brother. Women are more likely to experience SITEs in relationship to bereavement, illness and disability. There is plenty of evidence of Anne’s intemperance and that she was highly strung. This predisposes them to an intense response to trauma. Even in her dress, it was noted that she ‘everyday make some change in the fashion of her garments’ (Wyatt, Papers, v.p.141) Taylor suggests that such individuals have an intuitive personality and are highly emotional. She enjoyed writing poetry, writing music, dancing and singing. We certainly know that Anne was incredibly creative. Part of the reason that Henry fell in love with Anne was, of course, her strong personality. Yet, I believe she was an alpha female, who took her fate into her own hands and strove with great resolve to bring about that which she desired, (note the falcon on her badge, adopted after she became queen, which symbolises, ‘ one who does not rest until the objective is achieved’). We also often read of Anne being incredibly pragmatic, ready to face situations that arose head-on – and with no sense of squeamishness. As Ambassador Chapuys noted in 1530, she was, ‘ braver than a lion’. Individuals are often courageous and tend towards realism: We know that Anne was noted for her courage.
