history-be-written:Fancast: Bárbara Lennie as Anne Boleyn“The Anne Boleyn appearing in the English Court in 1522 [after her time living in France] must have been a very polished prouct. Maybe not a beauty, but no doubt attractive, she was a sophisticated woman and had that very important special gloss. Posterior chronicles reflect her as a ‘very gracious and eloquent woman, and reasonably beautiful’. ‘Not one of the most beautiful women in the world’ according to the words of a Venetian diplomat, redacted at the time in which the ambassadors started noticing her prescence, ‘a woman of medium height, swarthy face, long neck, wide mouth, not very enhanced bossoms, and very beautiful black eyes’.” - Sarah Gristwood, “Game of Queens: The Women Who Made Sixteenth-Century Europe" -- source link
