Doomed King Henry VIII

One of the more underlying causes of the Wars of the Roses was King Henry’s madness. King Henry VI had never been a perfect ruler, often making poor decisions because his wife or favourites wanted him to, but in August 1453, after the loss of Bordeaux to France at the end of the 100 Years War, Henry suffered a mental breakdown. He was oblivious to everything going on around him, could not feed or bathe himself, and did not even respond to the birth of his son. He may have inherited the same psychiatric condition his grandfather Charles VI of France had, which included bouts of madness in his later years, and “Some medical historians have diagnosed his condition, on the evidence available, as catatonic schizophrenia - complete mental withdrawal

Anne matures throughout the course of her diary entries, moving from detailed accounts of basic activities to deeper, more profound thoughts about humanity and her own personal nature. “I know what I want, I have a goal, an opinion, I have a religion and love. Let me be myself and then I am satisfied. I know that I’m a woman, a woman with inward strength and plenty of courage.” This shows that Anne matures through the course of her diary, she considers herself as a woman rather than a young girl and sets goals for herself that she wants to achieve. Anne becomes more optimistic even after she feels misunderstood by everyone and feels completely alone.

King Henry VIII was one of the most powerful rulers in the fifteenth century, who had a very captivating life many people are not aware of.

The initial rise of power for King Henry II and his Queen Eleanor began when William the Conquer passed away (Dutton 280). He slowly moved up to power because of his leadership changing things that William the Conquer did during his time ruling as king. While during William the Conquer time as ruler he had England on the verge of having civil war and the people became rebellious as well (Dutton 280). What King Henry created a government that could be ran without him being there 24/7 (Dutton 280). Instead he improved the government he did this by getting better royal officials and jurisdiction (Dutton 280).

The court of Henry VIII was known to be a prestigious and luxurious place for those close to the king; yet it was a dangerous and cruel place for those suspected of plotting against the crown. The king was known to be paranoid about the idea that a noble in his court would snatch the throne from Tudor control (Inside). Whisperings and rumor became many a courtier’s downfall and many victims were sent to the tower (Layton). Even with danger around every corner, many nobles, and even some peasants, became rich and immensely powerful (Inside).

Anne lived through a horrible tragedy no child should have ever experience. “Families are torn apart: men and children are separated. Children come back from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone.” Anne Frank. When families are separated it’s hard on them. They don’t know what had happened or could have stopped it. All they know is that they are gone, and they don’t know when or if they are coming back. When families are pulled apart it makes them about one another, so a positive attitude can make a huge difference. A positive attitude can change others’ outlook. “Whoever is happy will make others happy.” Anne Frank. If at least one person is happy, then they can change the minds of others.That are having a hard time. When one happy person is around, they become happy, and all their thoughts become good thoughts.

After I got this far in Doomed Queen Anne, I was just as intrigued and excited as I was when I’d first opened the book. In fact, more excitement and anticipation had built up. That, but also the fact that I also found Anne’s grip on the King’s heart extremely fascinating. It was interesting to read as Anne’s intelligence continued to blossom and captivate King Henry VIII. You don’t see a king plead on his knees for a mere maiden very often. The book’s plot, characters, and conflicts absorbed my mind quickly as they developed intensely and the action rose between Anne and all those around her; especially when things heated up between Tom Wyatt and King Henry as they both nonchalantly competed for Anne’s heart. I was pleased all the way to page 118, when King Henry VIII fell to his knees and proposed to Anne. That was exactly what I had predicted.

When Anne writes in her diary, “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are truly good at heart,” she shows that she is optimistic, brave, and intelligent. This girl doesn’t show her fears to people, instead she keeps a smile on her face and stays positive, which brings us to her optimism. While she carries hope for herself, she also lifts everyone's spirits, and keeps her family and friends hopeful and upbeat with her positive energy. Being quite intelligent helped her stay alive, and be aware of the changes happening around
