"Anne played a major part in pushing Henry into asserting his headship of the Church. Yet over and beyond this, Anne was a strong supporter of the religious reform…Brief though Anne’s influence was, it was a thousand days of support for reform from the throne itself. And hindsight can say more. The breach in the dyke of tradition which she encouraged and protected made the flood first of reformed, and later of more specifically Protestant Christianity, unstoppable. Catholic hatred of Anne damned her for the break with Rome and for the entrance of heresy into England. It was right on both accounts.
Hers was no superficial faith. Since her education in France she had an abiding interest in the New Learning and the religious reformation that was spreading like a revolution in thinking across northern Europe. Her views were evangelical, many would later say “Lutheran”. She read the Bible daily and believed that everyone should be able to read God’s word in a language they could understand." - Johanna Denny

The Tudors ran so Wulf Hall could shuffle awkwardly around reiterating the same tired old Tudor stereotypes while claiming to be something new.

On her throne, Elizabeth was the Virgin Queen; towards the Church she was a mother, with her nobles she was an aunt, to her councilors a nagging wife, and to her courtiers a seductress.

There is good evidence to suggest that Henry was indeed proud of Elizabeth, and with their love of scholarship and literature father and daughter had much in common. Henry was fond of his younger daughter, considering her to be an important member not only of his family but of his dynasty too. Her image appears in a royal genealogy tree in a manuscript in the British Library, alongside that of both her parents and siblings, highlighting her place within the royal family.
