Yes, i do belive she had at least one, if not two of henrys children illigitiamatly. But the thing was, because Bessie Blount had born him a boy, when he had an affair with her, while married to Catherine of Aragon, Henry then belived that the problem of baring sons was not his but the females!
And after all he went through to get Anne, then she delivered of a dead boy, he must have been furious. I think you are right Lisa O, I think she did not think he would behead her, but you also have to remember that she was the first female queen in English history to meet with this fate, so she never realised it COULD happen to her. She completly underestimated how Evil Henry could choose to be, as did most who upset him. He was truly a tyrant. Even being desperate for a son does not excuse what he did to some of his people.
Cookiecody, I read the book and yes it is much better, have you also read The Queens Fool? about a Jewish girl who is a fool to Mary tudor? Who I will be posting an Article on in the future.
