“Cardinal Wolsey himself allegedly referred to Anne in 1523 as a ‘foolish girl’, while Cardinal Reginald Pole described Anne as a ‘girl’ when Henry VIII fell in love with her. In 1534, a year after her marriage, Anne was described by the Imperial ambassador Eustace Chapuys as being ‘in a state of health and of an age to have many more children’.”
