Scheming Minx or Innocent Victim?

The Tudors (Part 4): The First Three Wives of Henry VIII (with Anna Morris) | The Tudors: A Real Game of Thrones.

🧠 Anne Boleyn was known for her sharp intellect, wit, and education, especially after spending time in the French court, which may have contributed to her being seen as a "scheming minx."

🇫🇷 Her time in France exposed her to progressive ideas and courtly sophistication, which some believed made her more politically savvy and ambitious.

👑 Anne's calculated ascent to becoming Queen of England has led some to view her as manipulative, using her charm and intelligence to secure her position.

⚖️ On the other hand, Anne is often seen as a victim of Henry VIII's desires and the political machinations of the court, wrongly accused and executed based on dubious charges.

💔 Despite her ambition, many argue that Anne was an innocent pawn in a larger game of power, ultimately paying the price for her husband's desire for a male heir.
