战壕战的气氛，它的静止和绝望，已经克服了早期都铎政治的历史编纂。最引人注目的僵局与安妮·博林的倒台有关。最近，三位学者对她的堕落提出了不同的解释，并相互辩护。伊韦斯教授和沃尼克教授都认为伯纳德博士是错的：安妮不可能被一个专横而嫉妒的国王所毁灭，他可能合理地认为她犯有多项通奸罪。伯纳德博士和伊韦斯教授都认为沃尼克教授错了：安妮的堕落不能归咎于她流产了一个畸形的胎儿，这唤醒了国王对巫术及其16世纪的马厩伙伴、鸡奸和乱伦的恐惧。沃尼克教授和伯纳德博士都认为伊韦斯教授错了：安妮不可能是被宫廷中的派系阴谋赶下台的，这场阴谋由托马斯·克伦威尔协调，并玩世不恭地利用捏造的通奸指控来逼迫国王一举摧毁女王和她的党羽。
Something of the atmosphere of trench warfare, with its immobility and its desperation, has overcome the historiography of early Tudor politics. The most spectacular impasse concerns the fall of Anne Boleyn. Three scholars have recently set out and defended against one another divergent explanations of her fall. Professor Ives and Professor Warnicke can agree that Dr Bernard is wrong: Anne cannot possibly have been destroyed by a masterful and jealous king who may reasonably have believed her guilty of multiple adultery as charged. Dr Bernard and Professor Ives can agree that Professor Warnicke is wrong: Anne's fall cannot be attributed to her miscarriage of a deformed foetus, awakening the king's fears of witchcraft and its sixteenth-century stablemates, sodomy and incest. Professor Warnicke and Dr Bernard can agree that Professor Ives is wrong: Anne cannot have been ousted by a factional plot at court, coordinated by Thomas Cromwell and cynically using fabricated charges of adultery to hustle the king into destroying the queen and her partisans at a single blow.
