'''Anne Boleyn''' (1507 to 1536) was the second wife of King [[Henry VIII]] of [[England]]. Henry annuled his marriage with his wife, the popular [[Catherine of Aragon]], in order to marry Anne. In order to do so he broke with the [[Catholic Church]] which would not agree to sanction such an action and set up the [[Church of England]] with himself as the head. Henry and Anne were married in 1533. They had a daughter together, [[Elizabeth I]], who would one day become queen. Anne's son with Henry was stillborn, helping to seal her fate.
Never popular with the English people, Henry had tired of her as well. She was sent to the [[Tower of London]] and was executed after being convicted of adultery and incest on dubious evidence. It did, however, free the king to remarry again -- a course of action he would take four more times.
