Anne Boleyn

Anne of Cleves was the fourth of King Henry VIII's six wives. They married on 6th January 1540 and the marriage was annulled on 9th July the same year. Henry chose her to be a wife based on a painting. The painter made her look better than she was.

Yes, because the marriage details between Henry and Catherine of Aragon were still hazy at the time.

By English standards - indeed by European standards of the time she was not considered beautiful. The ideals then (and for centuries before and after) was pale, fair haired and blue eyed. Anne had long dark hair (so long Archbhisop Cranmer described her as 'sitting in it') dark eyes and 'skin not so seemly white as above all we most admire' in other words she had what could be considered a mediterranean complexion, rather like a modern Italian. Indeed she was often compared to her predecessor Katherine of Aragon who in her youth truly reached the 'standards' of the time, having a beautiful pink and white complexion, and long red gold hair.

Anne Boleyn was accused of having sexual relations with five men, including her own brother. She was innocent of course. Her marriage to king Henry VIII was found null and void on the account that God would not permit them to have a male heir.

Anne Boleyn's age is contentious and historians don't agree. Many historians now take her date of birth to be some time in 1501, although some historians say 1507.

Taking her date of birth as 1501, it means she was 32 when she had her only child, Elizabeth, and was 35 when she was executed in 1536.

Taking her date of birth as 1507, it means that she was 26 when she had Elizabeth, and 29 when she was executed.

Pubically she never spoke about it, it would have been "bad PR" to be connected with her in her attitudes or virtues. In terms of her attitudes to being a monarch she modelled these on her father. Supposedly she had a small locket, in a ring or necklace, that had a small portrait of Anne Boleyn in it, which infers that privately she did like to remember her mother, but pubically she did not. Elizabeth was only young when Anne Boleyn died, so she couldn't of actually physically remember much, if anything at all.

Anne Boleyn Was 6st 4pound's, Shortly After Becoming King Henry's Wife She Gained Weight And She Managed To Come To A Staggering 9st 11 pounds,Before She Got Executed She Was Depressed So She Lost Weight Which She Became ill And She Weight 6st 2pounds

Sir Wlilliam Kingston was the constable of the tower during Anne's imprisnoment, he would've visited her often. Shortly before her death Archbishop Thomas Cranmer visited Anne to hear her last confession.

Henry Tudor married the Infanta(Spanish Princess) Catherine of Aragon in 1509. She was the youngest daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella(yes, the monarchs who sponsored Columbus' voyages to the New World) of Spain.

She was first married to Henry's older brother Arthur who died in March of 1502. At not quite 16 years old Catherine was remarried to Henry, now the heir to the English throne. Henry became Henry VIII on April 21 1509.

Before she married Henry VIII, she married Henry Percy duke of Northumberland secretly their marriage was discovered by Anne's uncle and head of her family and made the newly weds say it had never been, and Henry Percy went to Northumberland to recover from his broken heart. Anne however was determined to prov her uncle wrong, as he said that she had aimed her sights to high in marrying a duke, which is why she was so determined to steel Henry VIII from her sister Mary and marry him, which she did cost her her head.

It is doubted by historians who study this period and Queen Anne herself that she had any of the deformities that Nicholas Sanders claimed that she had. During the time that she lived physical deformities or handicaps were seen as a sign of the devil and not treated with any understanding or compassion. It is very much doubted in the first place that King Henry VIII would have even considered having an affair with an even slightly disfigured woman-let alone marry her. She was also heavily criticized by the Spanish ambassador who would have probably loved to report the Anne was had six fingers on her right hand or any of that type of thing. Lastly the claim itself that Anne had six fingers on one hand, or that she was even the product of Henry VIII's affair with Elizabeth Howard (which is also a lie) are all reported by Nicholas Sanders, a Roman Catholic priest during the reign of "Bloody Mary" who hated Anne above all others. Nicholas was six years old at the time of her death and had never seen Anne at all. To further dispute this claim Queen Anne's body was exhumed in 1876 to remodel the Chapel that she was buried in. No signs of any abnormalities were found.

Personally I feel it is time that all the black legends, rumors, and falsehoods that have haunted her past her death almost five hundred years ago should themselves be laid to rest.

Anne Boleyn was Henry VIII's second wife and mother to Queen Elizabeth the I.

She married Henry in 1533 after approximately 6years of courtship. She was arrested 2 May 1536 on charges of adultery, incest and plotting to murder the king. She was executed on the 19th of the same month.

She was accused with sleeping with over 100 men! In reality Anne Boleyn was probably innocent and was faithful to Henry. Her 'contact' with men after marriage probably didn't get past flirtation.

Anne Boleyn gave birth to one daughter in 1533. The daughter, Elizabeth, grew up to be Queen Elizabeth I. Although Anne Boleyn was pregnant several times, only one living child was born.

Anne Boleyn was executed by beheading on the 19th of May, 1536 CE for the charge of adultery, incest, and treason.

Anne Boleyn had a temper. She loved Henry VIII and when she found out that he had a mistress, she often got angry and railed at him. There is a story that Anne Boleyn found Henry VIII with Jane Seymour on his knee when she was pregnant, around January 1536, and she grew very angry. She later apparently used this as a reason for her miscarriage.

No-one ever heard Henry say her name in public again but there are numerous accounts of him mentioning her.
*When Jane Seymour tried to take part in matters of state Henry used Anne as an example of what happens when wives interfere with affairs that do not concern them.
* When looking for another wife after Jane's death, a French candidate was suggested. Henry remarked that he was tired of women with 'french ways'
* When Anne of Cleves told Henry she wished to meet Princess Elizabeth Henry replied that Elizabeth's mother was so different to Anne of Cleves that the Princess wouldn't wish to meet her.

Thomas More was executed because he was against the annulment of the marriage of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon. He was charged with treason because he would not go the to coronation of Anne Boleyn and was also charged with taking bribes.

Greensleeves was thought to be writtn by Henry VIII for Anne Boleyn, but now it has been confirmed that the song was likely to be written much later, in the 17th century.

Anne Boleyn was found guilty of treason by the authorities and was executed in the Tower of London by the official executioner on the 19 May 1536

Henry VIII was not present at the execution.
