In the 15th century, King Henry VII became interested in a young lady named Anne Boleyn, despite being married to Katherine of Aragon. After Henry because the head of the church, he made his marriage to Katherine nonexistent by annulment and married the soon to be Queen Anne Boleyn. Anne Boleyn wasn’t the most favorable queen, since Katherine was the commoner’s all-time favorite. King Henry VIII was attracted to people who made it hard to get with. Anne gave King Henry many ultimatums to go through to finally get married to her.
The relationship between King Henry VIII Anne Boleyn resembles the relationship between Caroline and Klaus from the show “The Vampire Diaries.” In “The Vampire Diaries,” Caroline plays the smart and independent best friend of Elena Gilbert. She is the over achiever of the group of friends and she never backs down from a challenge. But Klaus on the other hand would be considered a pessimist and self-centered. Although he only thinks of how things will affect him, he values his family and what would be best for them in the future. Caroline and Klaus don’t cross paths in the way that King Henry and Anne Boleyn did.

Once King Henry laid eyes on her, he began to recognize her beauty. He wanted her to be the one to bare him a son since Katherine was not able to do so. Although King Henry made his affection for Anne very much noticeable, she would not give him the time of day due to him still being marries to Katherine. After nine years of waiting for the King, Anne Boleyn was able to marry King Henry due to him annulling the marriage by using the Old Testament in a different interpretation. Although from two different centuries, Anne Boleyn and Caroline have many things in common, in which why these particular men found them quite attractive and alluring. Firstly, Anne Boleyn and Caroline are both intelligent and independent. Anne Boleyn learned French due to her being sent to France by her father. She was raised in a noble English family to become a proper young lady. Caroline, on the other hand, is raised by a single mother who is a sheriff. Since Caroline was raised by a sheriff, she developed a sense of being independent. She is known to stick up for what she believes in and never back down. On the other hand, King Henry VIII and Klaus Mikelson have a lot of things in common such as being demanding, family oriented and persuasive. Firstly, Klaus Mikelson was raised by his step-father and mother. He wasn’t aware that his then “father” was not his biological father until after his mother finally came to admit her affair. Klaus is from the original royal witches and wolves. He has always known what it is like to be handed things. But out of all four other siblings, he had the toughest treatment growing up due to him being the “bastard child” as his step-father would call me. Since Klaus had a hard time growing up, he always wears anger on his sleeves. Throughout the TV series, you uses his family as a clutch to continue doing scandalous things by claiming to protect them. Klaus is the character that everyone despises of. He has always turned his back on his families and allies to follow his own separate plan, which cause people to view him as untrustworthy. In comparison to Klaus, King Henry VIII is family-oriented and demanding. Throughout his ruling, King Henry had a goal bigger than having a successful kingdom, and that was to have a son. He was scandalous and conniving. He annulled many marriages to gain a chance to bare a son with another lady. Even though he truly loved most of his eight wives, he didn’t hesitate to set them up for his own good. Anne Boleyn was one of those wives he had to sabotage to finally get his son. In both relationships, it starts off with a sweet and innocent girl that is finally doing her own thing and is able to provide for herself. But soon enough they become eye candy for men to take advantage of. In the Vampire Diaries, Caroline didn’t meet Klaus until she was need to be sacrificed. He had never encountered her before, but at that moment when she was in dire need of an “originals” blood, he came to her rescue. Although he gave her the blood to help her gain some energy to heal her wolf bite, he was still the one who put her in that predicament. Klaus has out Caroline through the most she has been through. She became a vampire because she was suffocated why having Klaus’s blood in her system. Caroline’s strong personality attracted Klaus after he seen how much she can actually take. When Klaus gave her his blood, it developed a bond between the two that wasn’t expected. Also Klaus made a grand gesture to escort her to their town’s annual ball, but Caroline hesitates, eventually she gives in and they enjoy a dance together. Even though they both had a nice time, she reminds him that she is a good person and that he is not and it would never work between them. While Klaus may seem to be the big bad wolf of the show, it is evident that he had true and deep feeling for Caroline and would do anything to prove himself worthy of her. In King Henry’s time frame, he wanted to bare a son, but he had to annul his marriage to Katherine of Aragon. He went through a nine year process to prove to Anne Boleyn he was serious about being with her and having a child by her. She wanted to make sure she known as the mistress of the king like her sister, Mary. Anne Boleyn didn’t give in to King Henry’s gift and his constant obsessions. She gave him a challenge and he was glad to accept it In both Klaus and King Henry’s relationship, the women play hard to get. They don’t do it on purpose, but it creates an attraction towards them. The men seem interested because they know that it is something that they can’t have. Both Klaus and King Henry come off as demanding and intimidating which causes the women they long for to resent them. Their egotistic character makes them seem as though they are not capable of loving someone. The women that they long for are women who want to be cherished and not taken for granted. In Anne Boleyn and King Henry VIII relationship, although they didn’t get married right away, Anne encouraged many things that are still in progress today.
She helped him progress as a king but even though he had some positives, his motives to have a son had not changed. In one way or another, she shaped him into a better person, but in the end he still deceived her. Also in the relationship between Klaus and Caroline, Caroline was the only one to see the good in Klaus despite all that he had done to her. In their final scene together, they share an intimate moment and Klaus states “He was your first love. I intend to be your last. However long it takes.” Although Klaus’s character isn’t the ideal, he always cherishes what he
loves. The difference between Klaus relationship and King Henry’s would be that even though Caroline and Klaus never established a true relationship, he keep his feelings for her genuine and sincere. King Henry on the other hand, want to kill Anne Boleyn so he could marry another lady to provide him with a baby boy. King Henry valued having a son rather than building a stable foundation with a significant other. In conclusion, Klaus and King Henry VIII relationships are very in which they are attracted to the same type of women, but have different motives when it comes to them. Although someone’s character may not be looked upon, it doesn’t always mean they will always have bad intentions.

Anne of Cleves, often referred to as “the ugly one”, was King Henry VIII fourth wife. The marriage was never consummated, making it the shortest of King Henry VIII marriages. Despite the short lived marriage, Anne of Cleves is arguably the most successful wife of King Henry VIII because of her impressive character and close relationship with the people.

Soon after she became pregnant, everyone was preparing for the little prince, Prince Edward, but whenever Anne Boleyn’s due date came she had a little girl, Princess Elizabeth.

Eleanor married King Henry II. This marriage was doomed from the start and there are many rules that stand out of the Courtly Rules of Love that bloomed during her marriage with Henry. Her tenth rule especially, stating that Love is always a stranger in the home of avarice is true as proved by Eleanor's life. Henry was extremely avarice and it was a huge part of why the marriage between him and Eleanor did not go well. Eleanor had what henry wanted, the land. Eleanor needed a husband to keep her safe so the land wouldn't end up in the wrong hands and so she would be physically safe. Henry's lust for land was always strong and with the land, he got when he married Eleanor meant he technically had more land than the king of France, something he had always wanted. Their marriage was a political match, they both got what they needed but it was all politics, rather than a marriage of love and want. When you marry with avarice something is bound to go wrong. Another way Henry’s avarice played a part in the downfall of the king and queen of England was when he killed the Archbishop of Canterbury out of greed and selfishness. On December 29, 1170, he did one of the most horrific crimes against the church, he had Thomas A Becket hacked to death in the cathedral of Canterbury. Henry allowed his avarice to take over and the results of
Clever minded with a seductive female presence, Anne Boleyn is the most important wife of Henry VIII. Her contributions changed the course of England’s history, through England’s separation from the Roman Catholic Church to giving birth to England’s greatest monarchs, Queen Elizabeth I. “…swarthy complexion, long neck, wide mouth, bosom not much raised,…and her eyes which are black and beautiful,…she lives like a queen, and the King accompanies her to Mass – and everywhere.” The Venetian Ambassador describes Anne Boleyn in 1532. Simply meaning that Anne was not the most beautiful, but was pretty enough to entice the King. Born in circa 1501, Anne Boleyn’s education was very typical for a female of her class. She learned how to play the lute and other musical instruments, also how to sing and to dance.

At the age of thirteen, Anne was sent away to learn French and to obtain other skills in court life. Two years later Anne joined Henry VIII sister, Mary, wh...

But almost no one refers to him as misunderstood, manipulated or young man who was not meant to be King of England.

At birth, the child looks like a girl. The complete form of the syndrome occurs in as many as 1 in 20,000 live births”.
