  Noted events in her life were:

• fact. Around 1525 or 1526, Henry VIII became enamoured of Anne and began his pursuit of her. Anne resisted the King's attempts to seduce her and refused to become his mistress, as her sister, Mary Bolyn, had done. It soon became the one absorbing object of the King's desires to secure an annulment from his wife, Catherine of Aragon so he could marry Anne. When it became clear that Pope Clement VII was unlikely to give Henry an annulment, the breaking of the power of the Roman Catholic Church in England began.
Anne was crowned Queen Consort of England on 1 June 1533. Later that year, on 7 September, Anne gave birth to a baby girl Anne also named the girl who would one day reign as Queen Elizabeth I of England. Anne failed to quickly produce a surviving male heir; two and a half years after their wedding, a plot was led by Sir Thomas Cromwell 1st Earl of Essex to replace her.
Although the evidence against her was unconvincing, Anne was beheaded on charges of adulter, incest and high treason in 1536. Following the coronation of her daughter Elizabeth as Queen, Anne was venerated as a martyr and heroine of the English Reformation, particularly through the works of John Foxe.


Anne married Henry VIII House of Tudor, son of Henry VII Tudor King of England Lord of Ireland and Elizabeth of York. (Henry VIII House of Tudor was born on 28 Jun 1491 in Greenwich Palace, London England and died on 28 Jan 1547 in Palace of Whitehall, London England.)
