What made Anne Boleyn feel so sure that she would give the king a son?
Now, i want to clarify I’m not an expert on tudor history and I’ve heard that many say that AB was essentially coerced into the marriage. Which in that case obviously this question doesn’t apply, but if it wasn’t like that I wonder what made her feel so sure that she would give the king a son? Regardless if she was coerced or not, we do know that she had a relationship with henry for years before their marriage. We also have to take into account that she couldn’t have possibly expected her fate, if anything, the worst case scenario she probably would’ve thought of, was the king getting a divorce from her. A queen had never before gotten her fate, but even then, what made her feel so sure that she would have a boy?
