Historic Drama

Documentary like historical drama from Anne Boleyn's life

Anne and Mary Boleyn are young noble British women. 

Boleyn mother's brother has a high position in Royal Court. 

The King Henry Tudor has a problem with heir. The queen hasn't been able give a birth to a living boy. All boys died at the time of delivery. From this the brother got an idea. 

He invented a way to improve Boleyn family positions in court. He wants to make Anne a mistress of  the King. And make her to give a boy child to him. Anne's father accepts the proposition, and persuades Anne behind it too.

So. The King asked to visit Boleyn mansion. But the ways of the King are unpredictable. By an accident he forms a deep attraction to Anne's just married sister Mary.

After King leaves, Boleyn daughters are asked to court. For Mary's big disappointment, her newly married man trades her for good office in court. 

While in court Anne has a romance with almost married man. As a punishment she is sent to France.

After Mary gets pregnant, King loses his interested to her. Devious Boleyn men get nervous about it, and Anne is called back to Britain. Her mission is to entertain King, while Mary is carrying his child. 

Mary brings a birth to a boy child, but he was born outside marriage, and Henry ignored the child.

Anne seduces the King. The King gets obsessed with Anne. He is willing to do anything in order to get Anne in to his bed.

Anne plays her cards well. King tries to divorce Katherine, but  Catholic Church refuses to grant the divorce. The King have to divorce Catholic Church, before he can get his divorce and is free to marry Anne.

Unfortunately Anne shares Katherine's destiny. Anne is also unable to give a birth to a boy child. 

From this point movie jumps to the sad, and not very glamorous destiny of Anne. In real life Anne was very much involved with politics and she ruled country with King Henry for few years. Before she was forced give room to the next Queen and nominee for the mother of the male heir.

The story is told to you by the means of drama. The original book is written by woman. 

Good and accurate story, with good looking costumes and filming locations.

Suits well for the friends of sad dramas. And also to the people who are interested in historic stories.
