She was also thought to have sympathy for the protestant faith, and helped them survive death penalty by her own good will.

She was as well talented in music and language, and often some mistook her as a French woman due to her skill in the language.
Why were Anne Boleyn and Catherine Parr beheaded?
Anne Boleyn was executed because of claims that she was unfaithful, which she was found guilty of but it was very likely that she was innocent of the claims.

Did Henry VIII play tennis while anne Boleyn got her head chopped off?
,
I am Charlie, a Historian, and i have recently studied the activities Henry VIII did. I believe he didn't invent tennis but he certainly played it, alot, he was the olympic champion of his time. Other activities he also played was, chess and poker, But as he grew older he then started to invent sports and thus became the sport known as extreme BMXing. He was the champion of this sport, whilst he might be abit on the tubby side, he was still good on a bike.

She gave birth to Elizabeth Tudor on September 7, 1533 at Greenwich Palace downstream from London, on the River Thames. This was her only live birth. Later, she did have a miscarriage and a stillborn son.
It's debated, but I suspect she was probably born in January - March 1504, based on the fact that her father said he had 5 kids before 1504. Mary was born after 1499, and Anne being known as "The Little Boleyn" probably indicates her being the youngest. It's also believed child 3 was George, because a document says he was 27 in 1529, so about 1502. Anne participated in a pageant in the court of Henry VIII on March 4, 1522. The girls in the pageant were over 18, so this means that Anne was probably born between January 1 and March 4 of 1504.
Did Anne Boleyn sleep with her brother?
It isn't known whether this is true, but it is generally accepted by historians that it was a fiction invented in order to find her guilty of incest (among other offences, possibly also contrived) in order for King Henry VIII to legally have her executed in order to remarry. The French queen, Marie Antoinette, in the absence of other evidence against her, suffered similar prosecution; in her case it involved her young son. While we'll never know the truth of these allegations, the consensus is generally that they were politically motivated fictions designed to result in a queen losing her head.

Then she spent a year as maid of honour to the Archduchess Margaret of Austria in Brussels, Malines and Mechelen where she learnt to be a educated, sophisticated, cultivated and fashionable lady. In October 1513 she joined the retinue as maid of honour to the new Queen of France along with her sister Mary Boleyn who two years her senior. When the French King died Anne and her sister Mary remained in France and transfered automatically to service of the new French Queen. in December 1521 after eight years and two months at the Court of France she came back to England aged twenty years old. She was in England from 1501-1512 then Burgundy from 1512-1513 and then France from 1513-1521 and then England from 1521-1536. So you can decide where she was originally from.
