Still can't remember her advisors' name, Wolsey? Takes her to a church and shows her people worshipping a statute of the Blessed Virgin. And then she goes back to her chambers and paints her face and dresses up grandly, and comes out to show herself looking like an icon. It seemed very vulgar and crude.

But after the shock of seeing such a beautiful woman painted up like a caricature faded, I realized that a beautiful woman will never be respected, but an icon will be worshipped. She had to put herself above all the men, and she couldn't do it by her strength as her father did. So she did it by symbolism.

Symbolism is very strange, how looking a certain way, by costume or head-dress or paint, can affect other people at an emotional level that they may not even recognize.
