I rather think that Henry pursued her! Anne, however, was smart enough to know that being Henry's mistress would lead nowhere and she insisted that she and Henry marry. Henry was sufficiently besotted with her that he almost literally moved heaven and earth to make that happen. The process took a long time - Henry had to rid himself of his first queen, Katherine of Aragon - before he was at liberty to marry Anne. The result was great upheavel in England in terms of religion, divorce and banishment of Katherine, marriage with Anne and her subsequent execution on the block. Anne produced no sons but did give birth to Elizabeth who became Queen Elizabeth I.
