The relevance of the film comes from the historiographic wealth of its interpretations, based on the investigation of primary and secondary sources in order to provide objective information;Historians such as David Starkey, Suzannah Lipscomb and novelists Hilary Talytranscendence.

Research

16th -century England was participated with the Union of Catalina de Aragón and Arturo de Tudor, which was intended to cease conflicts, promote Catholicism and even be the beginning of a solid dynastic succession;However, Enrique VII’s firstborn dies and the interest in maintain. The monarch was cataloged a prince model, a young Renaissance who enjoyed avidity in politics, arts and languages. In spite of this, with the advance of the years the initial expectations about it vanished, I could not meet the desires of the town;He noticed his reputation as a conqueror and became the pioneer of the Anglican Church or the schism of England by marking the firstborn of the Bolena.

In this period marriage alliances were part of the foreign policy used by the great empires, in effect they had to represent benefits for the kingdom and even be accepted by the highest authority of the ecclesiastical body, the Pope. That is, the religious entity had great importance in society and disconnected from it could be assimilated as a sin or reason to be excommunicated.

The alliance with the Emperor was judged little profitable for the English, and when he defeated Francisco I’s troops in Pavia, in 1527, England gave a sharp turn to his policy, aimed at being subtracted from the power of the Spanish empire. (Universal History, 2020)

Through mention it can be extracted that marriages between emperors required years of planning and were carried out as negotiations. The lack of feelings of the spouses generally led man to look for lovers;And the Bolena family throughout Enrique’s government, had achieved favors in exchange for please the king, but Ana the firstborn of the Baleyn sought more than a love affairs, she wanted to be a queen. To do this, the aristocrat cautiously planned her rise to the government and proposed Enrique’s divorce as primary.

The governor, not being reciprocated by Ana, as he expected it, was interested more and Bolena step of being part of one of the ladies of Catalina to be the queen of England, it should be emphasized that her personality corroborates her ascent to the throne,since it was a cultured courtesan, educated, cosmopolitan, enjoyed initiative, criteria and grace;Although she is also exposed as ‘the Schism of England’ (boat, the Schism of Ingalaterra, 1627) by harmful, cunning, capricious, intelligent and manipulative. In other words, the protagonist presented a duality regarding her character.

It is necessary to mention that Enrique VIII married Catalina de Aragón in the year of 1509, with her had a daughter (María I of Tudor), however, the sovereign when enjoying 5 years apart and some failed attempts to conceive a maleHe had disenchanted the king, caused to seek other means to fulfill his goal. This is one of the main causes that cause the king to get rid of the Catholic Church. "The ruling was of the woman, that she was not the king, but the queen who was not able to generate a child, that child could also give Enrique an alternative succession option" (Gristwood, 2017).

The brief corroborates that the preponderant cause of the replacement of its external policies was the purpose of generating a male son and that the monarch yielded to his whims;The hegemony of the reigns is also involved by having links with Spain and considering that it was better to establish a relationship with France supporting Francisco I, Enrique considers that divorcing from Catalina would eliminate the alliance.

On the other hand, Ana’s subtleizer to trigger passions in the ruler also joins the causes of the transition from Catholicism to Anglicanism, Bolena is presented as:

An scapegoat of the ills of the English kingdom, although both the poet and the Jesuit historian do not stop blaming King Enrique for his political and moral weakness. Enrique sees Ana initially as a fantastic vision that will erase how much it writes;While Cardinal Volseo will subsequently realize that this woman caused her ruin. Carlos, the French ambassador and former lover of Ana, calls this woman "of the beautiful siren men, because she sleeps the senses" (Barca, 1627).

That is, the fascination that the king had would make him flexible when governing, letting himself be influenced by the reformist ideas since he knew Ana until he contracted nuptials with her in the year of 1533. The ruling annulment the papal bull granted in his first marriage and proclaimed an act of supremacy by which he would obtain absolute control. He confiscated the assets of the Church in order to reduce his power and intervention in politics, he was also appointed maximum representative;The king who had been called as defender of faith as confronted to Luther through his writings became a reformist who would consolidate domain through fear and imposition.

Among one of the tools that Ana Employment to persuade Enrique is the book "The obedience of the Christian and how the Christian leaders" (Tyndale, 1528) should govern, before such demonstration the express monarch "this book we must read it and all the kings”, Therefore, the effect generated was uncertainty, doubt, leading it to assimilate it as an instructive.

In turn, the strong, controversial character and intelligence of the Queen, described by Pedro Rivadeneira as "the original source of so many evils" (Fuente, 1958), showed it to be the standards of society, was a liberal lady, enthusiastic, enthusiasticand safe, who not only fulfilled the role of wife but also an important adviser of the king;which allowed him to comment on his decisions. Influenced the beginning of the Anglican Church, the conversion of Catholics to Protestants and the implementation of the absolutist monarchy, stripping the church of power and disconnecting England in Rome.

In conclusion, you may have an influence on the thought of the monarch, with its reformist ideals, its attachment to Protestantism and the strategy I use to cause interest in the emperor;as was not yielding to his charms, nor consent in the first instance his letters and gifts. Which, it is reflected, since Henry VIII of Tudor agrees to separate from Catalina de Aragón, for which he annuls his relationship with Rome, being a very devout king accesses to be excommunicated by marrying again, without consent and hidden;All this for the indirect pressure of Bolena and even for an alleged regret of consciousness by having married her brother’s wife.

Therefore, the eighth of the tudor proclaims maximum authority in order to grant Ana and crown it;so that the Catholic Church considers it as a traitor. When ignoring the marriage alliance policies, exceed Catholic dogmas, replace ecclesiastical power with their absolutism, expropriate the riches of clergy;modify theological policies and promote a nation to conversion to Protestantism through.

Reflection

In short, Tomás Bolena’s daughter greatly influenced the imperial policies of the monarch, thus constituting the break with the Catholic Church;It is necessary to mention that women had no remarkable participation even in the Modern Age. But, Ana with her cunning and intelligence transcended in the history of England, being considered the precursor of Protestantism and the beginning of Anglicanism.

However, referring to the methodology used by chroniclers, it can be said that it is the comparative historical method, since the sources used to analyze data and compare them by formulating hypotheses and debate of perspectives;especially in documentaries since they prioritize details;The participation of various historians and writers gives the source a degree of superior reliability, being relevant to understand an investigation, with reference to the book by Sarah Gristwood Reinas Set, the writer has been based on primary information such as Enrique’s written epistlesAna. In addition to this, the period of time is taken into account by relating it to different places and varied characters, so that it allows to appreciate a broad panorama of the monarchies and therefore, it contributes to answer the central question, also being written by a womanIt makes it possible.

According to the investigation period, the archives may present some degradation, in this case the monarch letters;However, the author resorted to more sources and has extensive preparation in the study of the tudor, reducing the limitations of content reliability. BBC for its part has a prepared equipment and recognition in the production of documentaries, so when the source is translated, it has not lost essential data for the analysis.

Then the historical validity of a document will be directly subject to the selection of sources and contrast of data from the author, still it is necessary that the information must be backed with testimonies, evidence or take into account external factors that affected the historical factor object of study;By deduction you have to validate knowledge, origin and limitations when selecting a book, interview or film, so that an affirmation can be reached. As, the British chain and Sarah Gristwood present it that through similar facts and arguments Ana Bolena was considerable in the formation of the Anglican Church.
