Let me tell you something, Lady Rochford. The King cannot satisfy a woman. He has neither the skill nor the virility.
Maîtresse en titre? Your official mistress? What have I done to make you treat me like this?
Anne Boleyn had strong opinions about religion. It has been suggested that her religious views were formed by her early years in France. Her brother, George Boleyn, was often sent on diplomatic missions. He used his diplomatic bag to smuggle religious books that were banned in France as well as England. Anne’s chaplain, William Latymer, also collected religious books for her from Europe. She was a supporter of William Tyndale and attempted to protect those involved in the distribution of his English translation of the Bible. (…) Anne was not backward in promoting the vernacular English Bible. A lectern Bible was available for her household to use, and she herself owned a specially illuminated copy of Tyndale’s illegal translation of the New Testament. Both before and after becoming queen, Anne protected the importers of illegal English scriptures. (source)

You think you’ve grown great. You think you no longer need me, but you’ve forgotten the most important thing, Cremuel. Those who’ve been made can be unmade.
Things that The Tudors’ Writers Did Right: Anne’s Dances in her Chamber
