What happened to King Henry second wife Ann Boleyn and fifth wife Catherine Howard?
They were the two wives of Henry VIII's wives that infamously were beheaded.
A good way to remember what happened to which wife and in what order is:
Divorced (Catherine of Aragon)
Beheaded (Anne Boleyn)
Died (Jane Seymor)
Divorced (Anne of Cleves)
Beheaded (Catherine Howard)
Survived (Catherine Parr)
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.

What country was anne Boleyn born?
Anne Boleyn was born in the early Summer of 1501 she was born at Blickling Hall in Norfolk. 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. I would say England although she spent her formative years in France.
Did anne Boleyn know that she was going to get killed?
She got increasingly nervous throughout 1535, when she had still not born a son and Jane Seymour played the same game as she once had.

How old was Henry VIII when he married Anne Boleyn?
Answer:
There is argument among historians as to the year that Anne was born a rough estimate would be around 25 but she may have been anything from 18-29.
Answer:
Most historians agree that Anne Boleyn was born in 1501.Anne and Henry were married in a secret ceremony on January 25, 1533. That would make Anne approximately 31-32 years old. Also consider the fact that Anne and Henry have been romantically linked since approx 1526.If she were as young as 18 in 1533, then she would have been 11 in 1526.Not claiming that it can't happen, but how likely it is that an 11 year old would be able to seduce a grown man (who was in his 30's in 1526) to petition the pope for an annulment from his 1st wife, the Queen of England.That would have to be one intelligent, sophisticated 11 year old!
Answer:
An interesting fact. It is well agreed that Anne was able to keep Henry at bay sexually for almost the full 7 years prior to their marriage, yet, he did not lose interest. Henry was very, very, used to getting what he wanted, when he wanted and that included women. Anne Boleyn was the first woman to say 'No' to Henry when it came to sex, and to say no for 7 years is quite an achievement.
Answer:
Anne was actually 32 when she got married to Henry as they got married in 1533.

Why does Anne Boleyn haunt today?
Anne Boleyn (c1501-07 - 1536), the second wife of Henry VIII (1491 - 1547) provided a fascinating historical story. Capturing the love of a powerful monarch, causing all sorts of historical reforms to take place (the break with Rome, etc.), eventually marrying the king, but failing him on the thing he wanted most - a male heir. Anne had made many enemies at court, and her failure to provide the male heir was probably the cause of Anne being accused on trumped up charges of adultery, incest, witchcraft - all treasonable. Condemned to death, even her execution was unusual. Her alleged offences should have seen her burned at the stake, but this was commuted to beheading. But, rather than let her face the axe (which wasn't always an accurate option), Henry sent for an expert French swordsman to behead Anne. She went bravely to her death on 19 May 1536, even joking about how slim her neck was, the night before the execution. Her body was put in an arrow chest and interred in the chapel of St. Peter ad Vincula at the Tower of London. Probably one of the most important reasons that Anne Boleyn is still well known today, is that she was the mother of one of the greatest monarchs: Elizabeth I (1533 - 1603) This was her posthumous triumph.
Where did Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn live?
Henry VII was a King of England in the 15th century. He lived in London, England while he was the ruler of the country.
"Good Christian people, I have not come here to preach a sermon; I have come here to die. For according to the law and by the law I am judged to die, and therefore I will speak nothing against it. I am come hither to accuse no man, nor to speak of that whereof I am accused and condemned to die, but I pray God save the King and send him long to reign over you, for a gentler nor a more merciful prince was there never, and to me he was ever a good, a gentle, and sovereign lord. And if any person will meddle of my cause, I require them to judge the best. And thus I take my leave of the world and of you all, and I heartily desire you all to pray for me."

Not at all. Many peopled disliked her because they supported Queen Katherine (Henry VIII's previous wife) and blamed her situation on Anne. Others disliked her because they supported Catholicism and blamed England's break from the Church on her.
Did Henry viii break away from the catholic church because of anne Boleyn?
Yes, a male heir. He was in love with Anne Boleyn, but the main cause for the start of the English Reformation was to divorce (or annul) his marriage to Catherine of Aragon--which the pope forbid. He thought that his marriage was a sin because Catherine was his brother's widow, and that was forbidden by the Bible. For that reason (though the pope had granted a dispensation) he thought that he had been "given" no sons. He hoped to get sons out of Anne Boleyn, and that was the main cause of his divorce, not his love (which faded away after she failed to give birth to a live son).
