Anne Boleyn

They called Anne Boleyn the Great Whore. It is a Bible thing. Great Whore is a title from the Book of Revelation, and it is "end of the world" stuff. 

An apocalyptic title is overdoing it a bit. They exaggerated the threat Anne posed. Or has history grossly underestimated Anne Boleyn?  

Was Anne an existential threat to the Catholic religion and what is known as Abrahamic faith?

*****

I must thank historians Lucy Worsley, Suzannah Lipscombe and Tracy Borman

for introducing Anne Boleyn to me. I must thank William Shakespeare for humanism. I must thank Elizabeth I for Shakespeare.
