Desperate Times for the Monarchy in England.....

Henry's Love Letters to Anne:

I never actually dove into Henry VIII actual love letters to Anne while studying the Renaissance. I was more focused on studying his policies and his history. These letters are new to me so, I can't provide a good history on them... Everyone knows at the end what happens to Anne, which was basically off with her head. When reading these letters it seemed a little out of place, the first thing I noticed are these letters some what not in chronological order? They don't have any dates on them. Another striking problem is, we don't see Anne's response to each of these letters and maybe we'll never know, but would be quite interesting to see how she responded. After looking at these letters I come up some ideas. O' Henry is very in love with Anne, desperately trying to seduce her. Henry in the back of his mind needed a new legitimate wife for hopes she could bare him a male heir to the throne, Everyone knows this is the reason today. I'm sure Henry would write these types of letters his other wives to be later on.
