26. Anne Was Also Engaged to Henry Percy
Anne Boleyn was also engaged to Henry Percy, the Earl of Northumberland. The two of them met and fell in love while she was Catherine of Aragon’s lady in waiting. When the king began his advances towards Anne, she resisted him because she was still in love with Henry. Henry, however, saw her resistance as a challenge. Having to pursue someone who opposed him made the king fall in love with her.
