Anne's execution was delayed because the executioner was held up on route to the site. Anne expressed sorrow and a little annoyance at this when she was told her execution had been delayed for a few hours, because she said "I'm sorry to hear that because by that hour I had hoped to be dead and past my pain." When she was told that there would be no pain, she said "I had heard the executioner was very good...and I only have a little neck".

Anne Boleyn's age is contentious and historians don't agree. Many historians now take her date of birth to be some time in 1501, although some historians say 1507. Taking her date of birth as 1501, it means she was 32 when she had her only child, Elizabeth, and was 35 when she was executed in 1536. Taking her date of birth as 1507, it means that she was 26 when she had Elizabeth, and 29 when she was executed.
Where is the sword that killed anne Boleyn?
No one really knows where the sword went. Jean Rombaud (the man that executed Anne Boleyn) was a very skilled executioner but when he killed the queen I don't think he considered what historical value his sword would have in the future. The work of being an executioner was always inherrited from father to son and his tools along with them. So I guess his sword was later inherrited to his son, then his grandson and so on. But since nothing is really known about him or his life, nor his family we can't say who was his son and where his sword went. There is a chance that the sword was later melted to create new weapons as these kind of executions swords often were. There is no record of it or what happened to it.

Anne Boleyn was pregnant several times, but the only one that survived was her daughter ElizabethAnne Boleyn bore at least four children; the only one that survived was Elizabeth. She had two or three miscarriages. She was said to have had more miscarriages in secret. Nowadays it is thought that Anne was rhesus negative, meaning that after her first child was born (Elizabeth), then the other children could not survive her blood type, leading to miscarriage. I sincerely hope that this helps.

What was the name of anne Boleyns son?
Anne Boleyn had never been married before she married King Henry VIII, who was her husband until her death in 1536-when he ordered her execution. Like many women in her time she was betrothed multiple times though, but these engagements were meaningless unless they were consummated-which they were not. The first and probably only betrothal was to the heir to the Earldom of Ormonde, James Butler. There were rumors that Henry Percy, the heir of the Duke of Northumberland, fell in love with her but there is no proof of an engagement or even the love being returned. It was also rumored that the poet Thomas Wyatt fell in love with her but that she denied him since he was married-some rumors say she didn't deny him.
