They were in a bad spot. I think that this explains why Anne Boleyn was the way she was. She saw how daughters were treated and used and attempted to use that to her advantage. Of course, she grossly overshot her mark, but I bet if she had a chance to do it all over again she probably would have. She may have died young, but she took more control over her life than most women of her time did. As for Lady Jane Grey, it just makes my stomach turn to think about what happened with her.

The only reason their family loves them is because they can advance the family by marrying/sleeping with someone high on the hierachy. I feel bad for women of that period because in most families who gravitated around court, that was their situation exactly.
