Answer

Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII of England, was tried, convicted and executed by beheading.

The crimes of which she was convicted were Treason, Witchcraft and Incest.

Most historians believe that she was completely innocent and that the charges were brought by her enemies at court and those who wished to gain favour with King Henry by enabling him to marry again.

because King Henry VIII wanted a divorce from her so he would be free to marry once again, and Anne was not able to produce him a male heir, thus King Henry VIII had false charges raised up againts her with the help of some of his close people at his court, while in court all evidence was to be looked over and put aside by the kings orders, and everyone that was ecused of being with Anne were tortured until they were forced to lie and say that they did sleep with Anne when indeed they did not, and when was just about to be executed the King was already planning his marriage to Jane Seymore, and he also went out hunting just before she was executed that day.
