Yes, she was beheaded.

But not with an axe: an excecutioner's sword (abnormally heavy, specially weighted, but very sharp blade) was imported from France. Anne had expressed fear that a heavy axe would "hurt my little neck", so Henry made a special concession as a "kindness" to her! What a thoughtful man!
