While Anne Boleyn was beheaded on May 19, 1536, King Henry VIII was playing tennis. At that time, tennis was a popular sport among the nobility, and it is reported that he was playing at the tennis court at Greenwich Palace when he received the news of Anne's execution. This event marked a significant turning point in Henry's reign and his tumultuous relationship with Anne.

Is anne Boleyn a narcissist?

I looked up narcissism on Dictionary.com to find out exactly what you mean by asking if Queen Anne was a narcissist. And with this definition no Anne Boleyn was NOT a narcissist. She was in fact a very amazing women who should be blamed less and credited more. A vast majority of the things she was accused of she did not do. I will assume you will want evidence of this fact and not an opinion. -During Anne Boleyn's reign as Queen she was very generous to the poor, giving 1,500 pounds a year(according to the British National Archives Currency Converter that is about 483,150 British pounds today approximately 18,156.44 modern US dollars)

-Queen Anne also supported the protestant reform which allowed common people, who had little to no education, to hear and, if they could, read the word of God in a language they could understand. In those days the Bible was only written in Latin, any other language was considered heresy which was punishable by death. The protestants also believed that you yourself could speak to God and did not need a priest or the intervention of saints, but only to call out His name and He would hear you.

-Queen Anne was also accused of being a cruel and abusive stepmother to the Lady Mary-the king's daughter by his first wife-this was Henry's decision to keep Mary and her mother Katherine separate, for he feared they would plot against him seemingly "for his own good" with the Emperor of Spain and the Pope. It was also Mary's father, not her stepmother, that ordered that Mary-a former princess-wait on the infant Princess Elizabeth-Anne's daughter-who had taken her place to try to lessen her arrogance and stubbornness which reminded him so much of her mother Katherine.

In 1534 when Queen Anne was visiting her daughter she sent for Mary and offered her a warm welcome to court and a reconciliation with her father if she would just accept their marriage. Obviously Anne knew how hard the divorce and the lack of communication with her mother must have been for Mary so she offered assistance with the only attachment of Mary recognition. Mary refused and said that she knew of no other queen but her mother but if her father's mistress would intercede for her with the king she would be grateful. First Mary insults Anne then she asks for a favor.

A few months later, when Queen Anne was visiting again, Mary left the royal chapel before the queen which was against etiquette. The queen was later told that Mary had in fact curtseyed to her although she did not see it. So Anne sent Mary a note again offering her friendship basically saying that the queen(herself) greets her warmly and is sorry she did not see her curtsy and so desires that "this may be the entrance of friendly correspondence" which she would embrace. Mary replied that it was impossible for the queen to have been there for her mother was not there and that again she acknowledged no other queen save her mother and the curtsy she made was to the altar not her. Anne twice offer help and loving gestures but Mary refused.

To me the actions I have described are not those of an egotistical, self-centered, vain women but those of a remarkable one.

Why did Henry VIII like Anne Boleyn when he was marrried to Cathorine of Aragon?

Because she was young and very beautiful. And also Anne played with his passions, making him even more infatuated with her and she refused to give him her maidenhead to him while he was still married. It was that and the fact that Catherine of Aragon couldn't give birth to a son that made Henry VIII want to divorce his wife

What would attract horseflies also known as deerflys to a residential neighborhood and how can you deter them?

Horse flies are attracted to damp, humid areas (swamp land) or near rivers or streams. Insecticides don't seem to bother them, but I did some research and came up with a trap for them. Although it's not cheap $250 it apparently works well. Please go onto: www.bitingflies.com/ Good luck Marcy I know that they like to fly over water and bite when swimming. _______________ http://www.uri.edu/ce/factsheets/prints/deerhorseflies.html University of Rhode Island GreenShare Factsheets -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deer & Horse Flies Diptera: Tabanidae Horse flies and deer flies belong to the fly family Tabanidae. Horse flies (genus Tabanus) are considerably larger than deer flies (genus Chrysops). Both horse flies and deer flies have large heads and large eyes. Horse flies can range from 20 mm (3/4 inch) to more than 25 mm (1 inch) in length. A common species typically found near beaches and saltmarshes is Tabanus nigrovittatus, or "greenhead fly." This species has brilliant green eyes which are sometimes crossed with red or purplish bands. Larger species of horse flies are brown to black and have varying stripes or triangles on their abdomens. The larger species of horse flies are less common, but inflict a painful bite similar to other species of horse flies. The antennae of horse flies are thick and lengthen into 5 thinner segments; the antennae of deer flies are long and thin. The wings of horse flies are usually clear or completely dark, whereas deer fly wings have varying patterns. Deer flies are comparable in size to house flies and are mostly yellow or black with varying stripes and shapes on their abdomens. The wings of deer flies are usually marked with dark patterns. Deer flies also have brilliantly-colored eyes, ranging from gold to green, with large brightly-colored stripes. Damage: Only female horse flies and deer flies feed on blood. Both flies are vicious, painful biters which feed on the blood of cattle, horses, mules, hogs, dogs, deer and other mammals, including humans. These flies cut through the skin using razor-sharp mouthparts that are shaped like a knife or razor. The flies will then suck the blood up from the wound for several minutes. This process makes these flies potential mechanical vectors of such diseases as anthrax, tularemia, anaplasmosis, hog cholera, equine infectious anemia and filariasis. Deer flies and horse flies are also suspected of transmitting Lyme disease (New England Journal of Medicine 322:1752, 1990). The open wound left by the fly bite also permits secondary feeding sites for other nuisance insects. Biting deer flies frequently attack humans along beaches, streams, ponds, lakes and around woods and dirt roads near large bodies of water. Some people suffer severe lesions, high fever and even general disability when bitten. Allergic reactions may occur from the saliva, which is poured into the wound to prevent clotting while the fly is feeding. A person can become increasingly sensitive to repeated bites. However, horse flies and deer flies are generally thought of as primarily nuisance pests. Life Cycle: The lifecycles of both horse and deer flies are similar. The first stage of development is the egg stage. The eggs are dark, shiny and spindle shaped. They are layered in masses ("tiers") which contain a few to several hundred eggs. These masses are laid on vegetation which hangs over water. Eggs hatch within five to twelve days, and small larvae drop down and burrow into moist soil. Suitable habitats include saltmarshes, swamps, bogs and areas along the edges of ponds, lakes and streams. Deer fly larvae feed on organic debris and other small organisms. Horse fly larva will feed on organic debris, insects, small crustaceans, snails, earthworms and other organisms. Horse fly larvae are also cannibalistic and will eat other larvae. Larvae overwinter in muddy soils, maturing in late spring. In some cases, larvae take one to three years to complete development. In late spring, the larvae migrate towards dryer soils and develop into pupae. The pupal period varies between species and may range from six to twelve days, depending on temperature. Adult flies emerge from pupae and immediately begin mating and blood feeding. Adults are strong fliers, searching visually for hosts and mates. The females require a blood meal for their eggs, but also feed on nectar and plant juices for flight energy. Males also require nectar and plant juices for flight. Control: Unfortunately, there are no satisfactory methods for control of horse flies and deer flies. It is impractical in most regions to eliminate their breeding areas, especially along endangered wetlands, where these flies are commonly found. Larval control is equally impractical, especially in recreation areas or reservoirs. Adulticiding is not practical because it requires the use of broad-spectrum insecticides, which can be toxic to fish, birds and mammals. Traditional repellants are not effective in keeping away horse and deer flies. Repellants containing DEET (N-diethyl-meta-toluamide) do not prevent flies from landing, although they may inhibit the flies from biting. The greatest horse and deer fly activity occurs on warm, sunny days when there is little or no wind. A slight drop in temperature or a sudden breeze reduces biting attacks. Horse and deer flies are visual insects, locating hosts by movement. Dark, moving objects and shapes are most attractive to the flies. They are also attracted to carbon dioxide that is released from their hosts. To reduce exposure to bites, it is best to wear light-colored clothing, including a light baseball cap, especially on warm, sunny days when flies are most active. Many devices have been designed to catch flies attracted to moving objects. One device is the trolling deer fly trap. This device consists of a blue cup coated with sticky material; the cup is placed outside of a moving vehicle, attracting horse and deer flies with its movement and color. Another device is the Tred-not Deer Fly Patch, which is a new, non-chemical sticky patch for controlling horse and deer flies. Some testers have reported good results from these odorless, non-chemical, adhesive patches. The patches are 7.5 cm (3 inches) wide by 15 cm (6 inches) long, and are worn on the back of a baseball cap to trap and hold biting deer flies. A number of fly traps have been developed which attract these flies using dark, moving objects, as well as carbon dioxide and other attractants. Although these traps will not completely eliminate all the flies, they will reduce the populations to a more tolerable level. Examples of trap designs include canopy traps, box traps, malaise traps and light traps. Commercially available horse and deer fly repellants are available for use on animals only. Most of these repellants contain permethrin, which may be harmful to humans. One must take precautions to use these repellants only as instructed. Repellants safe for horses are not necessarily safe for other animals. Always follow label directions.
