I suppose that as freinds go, the closest to her was perhaps Mary, I also think that despite how Wolf Hall has portrayed Jane.B, that in real they were perhaps fairly close too. Jane B. alledgely tackled one of Lard Arse’s floosies and told her to back off, and she did it so well that the floosie left court.
I do feel though, that Anne is one of those very rare woman, who prefers male freinds to female freinds, as they intrested her interlect more.
The fluffy bunnie’s and babies talk of woman perhaps irritated her too, Anne was not one who enjoyed the whispered hole in the corner gossip, if someone had something to say good or bad, she would sooner them say it to her face then behind her back.
When she was first in the tower, she did ramble a bit in fear, but I think anyone would in that situation. Mrs Kingston, was ordered to report everything sshe said and did, and I’ve not doubt that there would have been a little added on, when Cromwell got Kingston’s report.
The one thing that sticks in my mind is that Anne said something like “This will kill my mother” and in a way I think she was right, as I do believe Anne was very close to her mother.

I’d like to add her cousin Margaret(Madge) Shelton..

And also Lady Bridget Wingfield. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L….._Wingfield

It’s possible there are many other women who knew and/or attended Anne who bonded with her but whose identities are lost to time.
