Queen Anne Boleyn Biography:Anne Boleyn(c.1501– 19 May 1536) wasQueen of Englandfrom 1533 to 1536 as thesecond wifeofKing Henry VIII, andMarquess of Pembrokein her own right.Henry\'s marriage to Anne, and her subsequent execution bybeheading, made her a key figure in the political and religious upheaval that was the start of theEnglish Reformation.Anne was the daughter ofThomas Boleyn, 1st Earl of Wiltshire, and his wife,Lady Elizabeth Howard, and was educated in theNetherlandsandFrance, largely as amaid of honourtoClaude of France. She returned to England in early 1522, to marry her Irish cousinJames Butler, 9th Earl of Ormond; the marriage plans were broken up byCardinal Wolsey, and instead she secured a post at court as maid of honour to Henry VIII\'s wife,Catherine of Aragon.Early in 1523 Anne was secretly betrothed toHenry Percy, son of the5th Earl of Northumberland, but the betrothal was broken by Cardinal Wolsey in January 1524 and Anne was sent back home toHever Castle. In February/March 1526, Henry VIII began his pursuit of Anne. She resisted his attempts to seduce her, refusing to become hismistress– which her sisterMaryhad been. It soon became the one absorbing object of Henry\'s desires toannulhis marriage to Queen Catherine so he would be free to marry Anne. When it became clear thatPope Clement VIIwould not annul the marriage, the breaking of the power of theCatholic Churchin England began. In 1532, Henry granted Anne theMarquessate of Pembroke.Henry and Anne married on 25 January 1533, after a secret marriage on 14 November 1532. On 23 May 1533, newly appointedArchbishop of CanterburyThomas Cranmerdeclared Henry and Catherine\'s marriage null and void; five days later, he declared Henry and Anne\'s marriage valid. Shortly afterwards, the Pope decreed sentences ofexcommunicationagainst Henry and Cranmer. As a result of this marriage and these excommunications, the first break between theChurch of Englandand Rome took place and the Church of England was brought under the King\'s control. Anne was crowned Queen of England on 1 June 1533. On 7 September, she gave birth to the futureQueen Elizabeth I. Henry was disappointed to have a daughter rather than a son but hoped a son would follow and professed to love Elizabeth. Anne subsequently had threemiscarriages, and by March 1536, Henry was courtingJane Seymour.Henry had Anne investigated forhigh treasonin April 1536. On 2 May she was arrested and sent to theTower of London, where she was tried before a jury of peers – which included Henry Percy, her former betrothed, and her own uncle,Thomas Howard– and found guilty on 15 May. She was beheaded four days later. Modern historians view the charges against her, which includedadultery,incest, and plotting to kill the king, as unconvincing. Some say that Anne was accused ofwitchcraftbut the indictments make no mention of this charge.After the coronation of her daughter, Elizabeth, as queen, Anne was venerated as amartyrand heroine of theEnglish Reformation, particularly through the works ofJohn Foxe.[9]Over the centuries, she has inspired, or been mentioned, in manyartistic and cultural worksand thereby retained her hold on the popular imagination. She has been called \"the most influential and importantqueen consortEngland has ever had\",for she provided the occasion for Henry VIII to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon and declare his independence from theHoly See.Anne BoleynCopy of a portrait painted c. 1534
