So yesterday, before i went la la la over leprechauns, I watched the other Boleyn girl. It was a great show and i enjoyed it a lot.

After watching it, i went to search more about it. That was how hooked i was to it. So after some research, i found out it was a true story. Even though in the movie, there were some things done to make it all interesting. But still it's pretty much a true story. And yes after that movie i wanted to learn more about it.

So here's some info about king Henry and the Boleyn girls. After reading some history about it on the net and watching the movie, im going to put it in my own words.(:

The two girls were Anne Boleyn and Mary Boleyn. It all started when Mary got married. On the very same day, King Henry VIII's first wife, Catherine, had a miscarriage. She had a lot of miscarriages and she was unable to give birth to a boy, a successor. The King was frustrated and the uncle(i dont care what his name is) of the Boleyn girls thought of a foolish idea in my opinion.

He told the Boleyns that in these times, the king would need some pleasure. Yes, pleasure. :S
So then, he invited the Boleyns to a ball. Then the king came and told Mary to come to his room that night. And you know what follows.

Mary was married already but as it was the King, she could not deny. After some months, she gave birth to a baby boy. But by then, the King wanted Anne, already. But Anne refused to give herself to him as she did not want to become a mistress like her sister. Why? because a mistress is known as a whore and the baby boy would be known as the bastard.

After a while when Anne saw that the king was desperate to have her, she demanded taht she will only give herself to him if she became the Queen. How pathetic and selfish of her. Mary on the other hand was sent away. I pity her. This is where things get excitting.

The king had to annul the marrige with Catherine but it was not easy. I don't really get it why so im not going to spend my time on it. So yeah let's say they got divorced and it was when England seperated with the Roman Catholic Church. I don't want to go into detail on this.

So when Anne became the Queen, she was quickly pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl, Elizabeth I. By then the king was already fed up with her because of her continuous nagging and blah blah. Still, she got pregnant with another child. LOL.

This time it was a miscarrige. In fear of tellign the king about it. She decided to get pregnant with another man and act as if it was the king's baby. So she chose her own brother, George Boleyn, to do the honours. Somehow the king found out about it and Anne was beheaded at last. The brother was beheaded aswell. But what others did not know except Anne,Mary and George was that they never did it. They could not. Thank god.

After that Mary remarried to a soldier i think adn went to live in the country side. King Henry VIII remarried 4 more times. Guys.

After The king's death, Elizabeth I, Anne's daughter, became the queen. (:

I left out so mnay points but this is an over veiw of it. I'm gonna learn more about it. Im a official history freak now. And im proud to say it :D

So anyways, i just watched teh F1 RACE. and I AM IN LOVE WITH LEWIS HAMILTON. He's like the only hottest racer ever. :D

He is definitely added to my potential boyfriend list :D
