Anne Boleyn 

The life of Anne Boleyn

Anne Boleyn was the daughter of Sir Thomas Boleyn and Elizabeth Howard, daughter of the Duke of Norfolk. Little is known about the early life of Anne Boleyn. It is believed that Ann Boleyn was born sometime between 1500 and as late as 1509. Anne Boleyn 's place of birth was probably Norfolk.

What year Anne Boleyn died

The execution of Anne Boleyn took place on May 19, 1536. She was beheaded after King Henry VIII accused her of adultery and treason in order to divorce her. The death of Anne Boleyn meant King Henry VIII could remarry which he did to Jane Seymour. The beheading of Anne Boleyn took place just three years after she married King Henry VIII.

Was Anne Boleyn pretty?

History did not record Anne Boleyn 's appearance as very pretty. Anne Boleyn could only be described as moderately pretty at best. However, Anne Boleyn was popular and can be described as having sexual appeal. She had many suitors including Henry Percy, heir to the Earldom of Northumberland.

Also, what appearance was considered pretty in the 16th Century? Anne Boleyn was the opposite of the pale, blonde-haired, blue-eyed image of beauty. Anne Boleyn had dark, olive-colored skin, thick dark brown hair and dark brown eyes which often appeared black. Anne Boleyn was of average height, had small breasts and a long, elegant neck. There were also historical accounts that Anne Boleyn had six fingers. There are still debates about this six fingers story of Anne Boleyn.

Marriage of Anne Boleyn and King Henry VIII

Anne Boleyn was the second wife of King Henry VIII. His first wife was Catherine of Aragon. Anne Boleyn had a short life. She was beheaded when she failed to produce a son for King Henry VIII. He accused her of adultery and treason. Anne Boleyn 's life was full of manipulation and misfortune.

King Henry VIII had already had an affair with Anne Boleyn 's sister and as he wooed her, he continued to make the Duke of Norfolk his favourite, showering him with favours. Anne Boleyn is thought to have showed disinterest in the King until negotiations for a divorce from Catherine of Aragon were initiated. Nonetheless, Anne was secretly married to Henry in 1533, six years after their relations had begun and before the divorce had been achieved.

After a public celebration of the union of Anne Boleyn and King Henry VIII, King Henry VIII 's interest in Anne Boleyn cooled and were made worse by the birth of Princess Elizabeth Tudor.
