The example, below, is the handwriting of Anne Boleyn in 1514. I consider it to be the most valid physical evidence available to argue that Anne Boleyn was older than some scholars claim. Most of Anne's biographies lean toward a birth year of either 1501 or 1507. Some speculate that she might have been born as early as 1499. If Anne had been born in 1507, she would have been seven years old at the time she wrote this letter (See Anne Boleyn's Birth Year). She did not have the advantage of lined notebook paper, yet her handwriting is small and consistent, and her lines are remarkably evenly spaced. This is not an ability enjoyed by most, if any, seven year olds. See if you agree: |
