What were the problems in Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn's relationship?

Answer 1

The main problem that arose in the relationship between Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, was her inability to produce a male heir - something Henry was sure she would provide. Here is a potted version of what happened:

Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII, was crowned Queen on 15 June 1533. On the 7th September the same year, she gave birth to her first child, Elizabeth, (later to become Elizabeth I), which upset Henry as he was determined the baby would be a boy. Over the next two years Anne had at least two miscarriages, thus dashing Henry's hopes of a male heir. When he tired of her and in fact already had his eye on another lady at Court (Jane Seymour), he trumped up charges of incest, adultery, witchcraft and treason. Anne was found guilty and sentenced to death, as were the five men accused with her.

She was beheaded at the Tower of London, on 19 May 1536, going bravely to her death (even joking the night before about how slim her neck was) and executed by an expert French swordsman who Henry had ordered, to give her a quick and more merciful execution. Anne's remains were put in an arrow chest and buried in the church of St. Peter ad Vincula, at the Tower. Her grave was originally unmarked, but during Victorian renovations her remains were identified and there is now a marker over her resting place.
