  General Comment:"She couldn't change the story
  Couldn't tear the pages, burn the book"
  
  It was said that Anne was more intelligent then her sister Mary; but Mary was more beautiful.
  
  "Little girls grow up too fast" "Just a girl Never had a choice" "Had to leave her love behind"
  
  "To be a mother she must stay to be a wife
  She couldn't let her own life interfere
  Don't come near"
  
  When I watched The Other Boleyn Girl i found it totally depressing because i felt Anne Boleyn ( and her sister) had little say in their own lives ( and bodies). Early in 1523 there was a secret betrothal between Anne and Henry Percy, son of the 5th Earl of Northumberland. However, in January of 1524 Cardinal Thomas Wolsey broke the betrothal, Anne was sent back home to Hever Castle, and Percy was married to Lady Mary Talbot, to whom he had been betrothed since adolescence.
  
  "ask for nothing so she got her crown" "even queens can fall in love when they should hold on
  To their heart and never let it go Don't you know"
  Anne was the Queen of England from 1533 to 1536
  
  "Died before her Time and yet Her song is sung everyday"
  She was beheaded. however, over the centuries, she has inspired or been mentioned in numerous artistic and cultural works. As a result, she has retained her hold on the popular imagination. Anne has been called "the most influential and important queen consort England has ever had", since she provided the occasion for Henry VIII to divorce Catherine of Aragon, and declare his independence from Rome.Anne was venerated as a martyr and heroine of the English Reformation.
  
  "Lady Anne, Lady Anne
  He's falling for you
  Lady Anne, Lady Anne
  You'll fall for him too
  Lady Anne, Lady Anne, Lady Anne"
  
  seems like a warning.

  General Comment:I think this song could be about Anne Boleyn. Her family pressured her to become the kings mistress (because the queen couldn't bear him a male heir) so that there family could gain more money and power. However Henry VIII was initially attracted to her sister Mary. Henry VIII began his pursuit of Anne. She resisted his attempts to seduce her, refusing to become his mistress as her sister Mary had. It soon became the one absorbing object of Henry's desires to annul his marriage to Queen Catherine so he would be free to marry Anne.Henry's marriage to Anne, and her subsequent execution, made her a key figure in the political and religious upheaval that was the start of the English Reformation. She gave birth to the future Elizabeth I of England. To Henry's displeasure, however, she failed to produce a male heir. (however her sister has a male child with him, but it would never be allowed to rule England because it was a bastard child).Henry had Anne investigated for high treason in April 1536. On 2 May she was arrested and sent to the Tower of London, where she was tried before a jury of peers - which included Henry Percy, her former betrothed and her own uncle, Thomas Howard - and found guilty on 15 May. She was beheaded four days later. Modern historians view the charges against her, which included adultery and incest, as unconvincing.Jane Seymour became Henry's third wife 11 days after Anne's execution. (He had 6 wives)
