Anne Boleyn Week 2024

Day 4: Favorite Anne Motto: "The Most Happy"

"In the sixteenth century, the word happy usually meant fortunate or lucky. In light of this, Anne's motto, 'The Most Happy', rather than being haughty or egotistical, is a humble acknowledgement of her privileged position. She was essentially 'the most lucky' because Henry had raised her to be his queen." - Natalie Grueninger in The Final Year of Anne Boleyn (2022)
