[quote=Anonymous]Anne Boleyn did more for the Protestant Reformation than she will ever get credit for. She also fought against all odds to position Elizabeth to get the throne. She could have defied and "outed" Henry at the end, and maybe even saved her own life. (A convent was a possibility.) But she didn't. She signed everything he wanted her to sign, and "admitted" to everything he wanted her to admit, playing the long game--knowing that Elizabeth would have a shot at inheritence and possibly the throne. In fact, she probably saved Elizabeth's life; the poor child could have been condemned or burned as a witch herself. She also was the first woman in England to ever hold a royal title--Marquis (not Marchioness, but Marquis) of Pembroke--in her own right. [/quote]
