@history_edwardvi: Reasons for Mary Tudor's Rejection There were several compelling reasons why Mary Tudor hated Anne Boleyn so much and rejected her brother's marriage plans: Deep Loyalty to Catherine of Aragon: Mary had been close friends with Henry's first queen, Catherine of Aragon, for many years. She felt that Henry's divorcing Catherine for Anne was a grave insult and injustice. Past in France: Interestingly, Anne Boleyn and her sister (Mary Boleyn) had been maids of honor accompanying Mary Tudor when she was sent to France to marry King Louis XII in 1514. Because Mary Tudor had been their queen, she considered the Boleyn family's social status far below that of the royal family and unbecoming of a Boleyn to ascend the throne as Queen of England. Open Discord at Court: Their relationship was so strained that in 1532, Mary Tudor even used abusive and opprobrious language about Anne Boleyn at court. This sparked a huge uproar among their followers, until finally Mary chose to withdraw from the palace and return to her residence in Suffolk so as not to have to interact with Anne. #marytudor #henryviii #henryviiiwives #anneboleyn
