Anne Boleyn was an important figure in history as she was the
first woman to capture Henry’s interest so much that, a battle to overrun the
church was started so that he could annul his first marriage to Katherine of
Aragon. It changed the situation for women in England, meaning that any woman
could be overturned. It was the first step in Henry’s journey of making women
he fancied Queen of England – all in the gain of trying to have a son. She was also
the first wife to be beheaded, though not the last and this would appeal to an
audience passionate about history or simply having a loose interest in it. Anne’s
story is compelling and the mystery around her accusations will draw in this
type of audience..
This would also work in the publishing world as it would be
a different take on her story – from my view and from my own research. People
interested in history and this time would automatically be interested in the
type of writing and therefor become a target for publishing companies. It could
possibly appeal to anyone interested in the royal family, as she was a part of aristocracy
and would appeal to students or Secondary school students studying this part of
history, therefor sparking interest in the publishing world for this target
audience.
