Anne Boleyn: Henry VIII's Obsession - Plot & Excerpts
Her miscarriage in the summer of 1534 had been a blow and her failure to conceive again must have been a grave concern. Henry had risked a great deal for his marriage to Anne and both knew that it could not be thrown away lightly, whatever Henry’s personal feelings towards his wife. Anne knew just how dependent she was on Henry and she worked hard to ensure that she remained the most important woman in his life, even if she also had to accept that he had mistresses. By the summer of 1535 there had been a reconciliation between the couple, helped in no small part by a demonstration by Henry of his belief in their marriage in June and July 1535. John Fisher, Bishop of Rochester and Sir Thomas More had been sent to the Tower for their refusal to take the oath of succession back in 1534. With the exception of Catherine and Mary, Fisher and More were the most high profile people in England to refuse the oath and, as a result, Henry attempted to convince them, first through reasoning and then through increasingly harsh imprisonment.
