On the 17th February 2011 The Anne Boleyn Files celebrates its 2nd birthday and I also have a special birthday this month, so I thought it would be good to celebrate these wonderful milestones with an article competition.
I would like you to write an article on the following question: “Did the life and death of Anne Boleyn make an impact on history and, if so, how and why?”.
I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank you all for making this site what it is today. At time of writing, we presently have 27,125 people visit this site every month and when I started this site in February 2009 I really had no idea that there were that many people fascinated in Anne Boleyn and Tudor history. A big thank you to you all.
Prize
The judges will choose one winner to win a signed copy of Robert Parry’s latest novel, “The Arrow Chest”, and a $20 Anne Boleyn Files voucher for use on our jewellery ranges, dresses or French Hoods.
