The King and I

I’m Anne Boleyn the queen of England and I did some mistakes in my life. I’m accepting punishment that God gave it to me. I love all my family, my lovely king Henry, and my only one child, Elizabeth. Now I’m just waiting my death day in a tower. The king and I were really happy but time after time we broke up just like a beautiful broken glass.

Before I become a queen, I had wonderful family. I was happy with my sister, Mary, because she married with a gentlemen guy. We were so happy and grateful to her. We celebrated the wedding party with many foods and danced with a great music. My uncle who worked at the palace told my father that The Great King Henry VIII of England just lost his son. The Queen, Catherine of Aragon, couldn’t pregnant again because she was getting older. The King needed someone who could pleasure him and my dad told my uncle that I could do that. I was rejecting the offer because I’m not a whore and when the king already satisfied, he would leave me. My uncle told me that even the king would leave me but after that I can leave in the palace and can get the duke husband. I accepted the offer because I think married with the duke is a great idea so I can have bright future. The King and his companies came to our house and I would love to join him to hunt. When the King and I hunted, I was doing something mistake and so the King was injured. He fell in to ravine but fortunately all his guards help him. He was unconscious. Mary nursed the King and that’s why The King more likes Mary than me. I was so jealous but I just looked happy in front of Mary. Mary and I sent to palace and met The Queen. I accompanied her to palace. At palace Mary always pleasured the King. My father sent me to French to become maid of honour queen Mary and then queen Claude of France. In French I studied a lot such as fashion, religious philosophy, French culture, and etiquette. In 1522 I back to England and I knew Mary was pregnant and she had the king’s son. The king soon fell in love with me and I don’t care if Mary still love him and also had his son. After Mary birth the son of king, she came home. The king and I had wonderful time and he wanted to sleep with me but not so easy. I told him to divorce with Catherine. It wasn’t easy to divorce the queen unless she died. The king told the court that his married isn’t right because before Catherine married him, she had married with her older brother, Arthur. Catherine sent to Kimbolton castle and officially divorce with the king. I married with the king on January 25, 1533 and also I became a queen of England. My life was very happy but not always happy because so many people of England called me “The king’s whore” and “naughty paike”. My married made relationship between England and Catholic Church breaking. It wasn’t matter for the king and me. I lived in fortune and really so happy because I felt like the luckiest woman in the world. The king was really spoiling me and pleasures me. He loved me with all his heart and also at that time we had good relationship with France. I had the king’s child and he was so happy about it because he has been waiting for a son. I was really worried about him because relationship between Spain and England wasn’t good. Spain doesn’t agree the king and I married and also between them, they fought for region. The king was getting busy and so we rarely met each other. I couldn’t pleasure him because I was with his child. I scared that he would find mistress to pleasure him. The birth was coming, I was really emotional. Birth a child is not easy and it’s really hurt. I was screaming and the king was waiting out side my room. He seemed worried that this is a daughter or a son. I disappointed the king because I gave him a daughter. He told me that I could pregnant again. I wasn’t feel disappoint because I love my daughter and she’s part of my body. I named her “Elizabeth” just like my mother’s name. The king and I tried to have a child again so I was pregnant again. At that time I was really stress because when I need the king, he never beside me. I saw him walked around with Jane Seymour. I think she’s the mistress of the king. I really don’t like her. I talked with my sister and my brother about this situation. The stress made my pregnant miscarriage. I cried and called Mary and George. Mary said that I should calm and told the king about my miscarriage but I couldn’t. He would leave me and could spend a lot of time with Jane. My fear made my thought fall apart. I should think hard how I can get a child again. The king couldn’t sleep with me because we always fight. I saw George and I told him to sleep with me so I could have a child. George won’t do that and because he’s my brother he wanted to do that. Mary disagrees about it and she leaves us. I saw George eyes and he started to cry and made me realize that he’s my brother and we love each other just like brother and sister so we were not doing it. We kept it but suddenly the king said that I had affair with a guy and also he knew about my miscarriage. He really mad and brought me to a tower but at least I’m happy about it because I did mistakes and it is my time to leave my lucky time and my fortune. At the court I told the entire true but the judges decide that I’m guilty. I get executed and also my brother.

I made this situation become worst and I accept the executed. Dead is the best way to leave this bad life. I will happy after dead because I just can’t bear this situation. I hope Mary can keep Elizabeth very well. I trust her so much. My dead will not good to see but when I feel it, it’s really peace full.
