Anne Boleyn. I'd like to attempt to knock some sense into her head before she lost it. But seriously, from all accounts she was intriguing and intelligent. Some of what has been written about her includes: "Anne's charm lay not so much in her physical appearance as in her vivacious personality, her gracefulness, her quick wit, and other accomplishments. She was petite in stature, and had an appealing fragility about her… she shone at singing, making music, dancing and conversation… Not surprisingly, the young men of the court swarmed around her." AND she also gave generously to charity and sewed shirts for the poor. In her youth she was said to be "sweet and cheerful" and enjoyed gambling, drinking wine, and gossiping. (I'd have to ask her about the gossiping thing). Maybe we could split a bottle of Annie Green Springs Apple Delight and talk). She was also brave and emotional. She was a woman in her own right – said to have "taken on her own terms in a man's world; a woman who mobilized her education, her style and her presence to outweigh the disadvantages of her sex; of only moderate good looks, but taking a court and a king by storm." She was intelligent, spirited and full of courage. But her hubby was a major pompous, self indulgent, power-drunk, egotistical jerk - What was she thinking?? The others had already lost their heads, after all. [correction... Other heads were yet to roll]. I would like to ask her about her decision making skills... Oh, And I would like to go with her to have tea and dance sacreligiously on the grave of Thomas Cromwell to the tune of White Wedding. He was also a jerk.
