Anne wouldn't be his mistress, she wanted to be his wife, so he agreed to marry her and get a divorce from Catherine. He also thought that because she was young, she could produce a male heir.
Henry VIII wanted a son, something which his first wife Katherine had failed to provide him with. Katherine gave Henry a daughter, Mary. Henry became obsessed with Anne, who refused to become his mistress and would not sleep with him until they were married. Henry believed that Anne would give him a son, and so he divorced Katherine, declared their daughter Mary illegitimate and married Anne.

∙ 13y agoThere is speculation that Anne and Henry were truly in love, and it is not argued that Henry was in love with Anne. However, it is very obvious that Anne's family gained much from their daughter's marriage with Henry and considering her sister, Mary, also had an affair with the King it is likely Anne's marriage to Henry was a highly anticipated and manipulated event intended to raise herself and her family's status and wealth at court.
