Anne's parents gave their children a very complete and varied education that included the arts in this room of the castle, showing the little girls who would gather with their mother to learn the art of textiles and embroidery.

In 1512, their father and a well-known and respected diplomat revisited the court of Margaret of Austria in the Netherlands of Burgundy located in what is now Belgium and offers a place in his court for his youngest daughter, an opportunity that would considerably raise the education of his daughter Anna.

Of the new queen named Claudia, of the same age at that court, she developed great interest in the French arts. The queen had very strict moral codes and expected her other ladies to remain chaste and virtuous until marriage, and a curious fact is that Anne Boleyn He loved beautifully decorated books like the one we can see in this image that were fashionable at Queen Claudia's court and which he took with him upon his return to England from Queen Claudia. He learned the French arts but absorbed many of the ideas and leadership Luisa develops Francis' mother first, these female authority figures definitely inspired the young Anna to become a courtesan active in political life in the future, and Margaret of Navarre, the king's sister, made her delve into Protestant literature, a religious current. that Anna also continued to begin reading about French evangelism and humanism that the king's sister promoted Anna's European education culminated at the end of 1521 when her father called her back to England, this alerted the French king and was about to cause a diplomatic incident because he thought that it could be an agreement between henry the eighth and charles the fifth another rival of francis the first to attack france cardinal wolsey had to intervene in the matter and let the french king know that anna boleyn was called back because they had arranged to marry an English nobleman in March 1522, Anne returned to the English court in the midst of tournaments and court festivities whose main theme was the cruelty of unrequited love held in honor of several ambassadors who were visiting the Boleyn sisters and others. ladies represented the virtues of a lady and the chivalric tradition and during the staging they wore elegant white dresses embroidered with gold threads.
