I never knew that. All the while, we knew only about Anne and her reign as Queen for a thousand days. So my information gap has now being filled complete through this Scott Rudin film.
As the story unfolds, Mary was the first Boleyn daughter to be bedded by Henry the King, in a plot to help the Boleyn family to get out of debt and into fortune, in spite of the fact that she already been married. When Mary was shut from Henry's sexual appettite for fear of losing a baby, a plot was hatched to get Anne, banished to the French court to enticed the King.
All came to naught because Anne was beheaded for adultery and incest with his brother, George. However, she had a daughter, Elizabeth who succeeded Henry as Queen.
Good movie, great editing and you can feel the excitement tingling in the air as the film transports you back into the days of the great amorous Henry VIII and the historical events that unfolds as he bends to the wishes of Anne.
Great acting by Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johanssen and Eric Bana.
A wonderful movie to behold. Enjoy!
