Anne Boleyn was beheaded on 19 May 1536. Accused of trumped up charges including witchcraft and adultery, she was brought to trial, found guilty and executed. Her downfall came about because she was unable to provide Henry with a male heir. At least Henry was 'merciful' and had an expert French swordsman brought in to give Anne a swift and humane death. The next day Henry was betrothed to Jane Seymour, who became his third wife.

Many other people were also executed in Henry's time - it was quite a normal way of getting rid of people whose faces did not fit. One estimate has it that as many as 70,000 people were executed during his reign, mostly by hanging. The more "civilised" beheading was reserved for the aristocracy.
