maryofmodena:✧ It’s not exactly known when Henry VIII fell for Anne Boleyn, but it’s likely to have happened in the year of 1526. This love letter was sent sometime after May 1527, circa July, and reveals Henry’s great anxiety and despair, as he tries to win over Anne. The King pressures her into declaring their relationship official by writing and even attempts to set up a ‘date’ with her.“I beseech you to give an entire answer to this my rude letter, that I may know on what and how far to depend. And if it does not please you to answer me in writing, appoint some place where I may have it by word of mouth…”This part of courting appears to be quite similar to what still happens today. The familiar aches of the heart, waiting for a response from a love interest, and feeling desperate for some kind of reply. This is something with which almost any admirer could sympathize with. Henry VIII’s letter itself demonstrates the chivalric concept of the noble quest of a lady, and it seems to have ultimately worked for him.Sai Bennett fancasted as Anne Boleyn -- source link
