Anne Boleyn Henry’s VIII obsession
Humiliated by the other ladies...offered to meet the mistress.
On 10th October 1532 Anne and Henry traveled to Dover to sail to Calais the next day. They wished a alliance with France, given the difficulties they had with the emperor.
Anne was prepared to be introduced as the next Queen to be, so she was ready with costly dresses and jewelry ( some were crown jewelries, which belonged to the former Queen ) ...truly, this was intented to be "Anne's field of the cloth of Gold. "
All were good, except that the ladies: King Francis's wife , Eleonor of Austria ( distant relative to Catherine) and Francis sister, Marguerite, both refused to meet her. Embarrassed and as a last attempt, Francis offered his mistress, the Duchess of Vendome, but this simply would not do.
Anne therefore had no choice then to wait in Calais while Henry rode to meet Francis.
