Anne Boleyn

Henry VIII got rid of Anne Boleyn by means of beheading. Beheading in those days was the punishment for a queen consort who was found guilty for treason. In Anne's case, she was found guilty (though many both back then and even in this day believe the charges to be false) for charges of adultery and incest.

Answer Anne Boleyn was the second of King Henry VIII's six wives. They were married in January 1533 and on 7th September 1533 she gave birth to a daughter, the future Queen Elizabeth I.

she was crowned

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.

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."

Henry VIII and Ann Boleyn did not have any sons only one child named Elizabeth I but Anne Boleyn had 3 miscarriages. Anne Boleyn had one living son who lived for three months and his name was Henry after his father.

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.

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).

Anne Boleyn was probably born in 1501 and spent most of her early childhood at Hever Castle in Kent, England. In 1513 at the age of 12 Anne Boleyn left her family's home and traveled to the court of Regent Margaret of Austria in Burgundy. Margaret was a great patroness of the arts, a supporter of protestant efforts in Europe, and a strict but cultured mistress. There she learned French, how to play the lute and keyboard, and other courtly skills. She remained there a year and most likely would have shared lessons with the future Emperor Charles V, his sister Eleanor who would become Queen of Portugal and France, and Isabel later the Queen of Denmark. Anne Boleyn was later summoned in 1514 to wait on Henry VIII of England's sister Princess Mary who was to marry Louis XII of France and become Queen. So she left Margaret's court to join her sister who was also to wait on Mary whose marriage only lasted 82 days before the old king died on new years day 1515. The widowed queen was sent home to England after controversially and disgracefully marrying Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. Anne Boleyn stayed on in France to wait on the new King Francis I's wife Queen Claude, a sickly plain young women of 15. Anne's sister Mary became the king's mistress for a brief time and was then passed around the court to other favorable courtiers which despite popular belief was NOT consider either honorable or profitable. In 1516 Anne Boleyn could have met Leonardo da Vinci when he was at the court in Amboise. She continued her education by improving her language skills, singing, lute and virginals playing, and penmanship. She knew English, French, and some Latin and enjoyed learning of the protestant movement and how they believed everyone should be able to read the word of God in a language they could understand. In 1516 Anne went with Queen Claude to the meeting between King Francis I and King Henry VII, with her sister Mary attending Henry's wife Katherine of Aragon. In late 1521 at the age of 20 Anne left the French court thus ending her courtly training abroad.

Anne Boleyn was accused of many things, that most people think she was most likely innocent of. She was sentenced to death for treason. The treason she was accused of was adultery; cuckolding the King was tantamount to a sentence of death. It was widely believed at that time that the King simply wanted to get her out of the way; and this was the most effective. The common people of this time disliked Anne Boleyn profusely at first; she had overthrown a beloved and English-hearted queen. Catherine of Aragon was extra-ordinarily well loved by the coomon people, and they only forgave Anne when she was an innocent on the scaffold, another playtoy of which the King had tired. On the scaffold, she denied adultery, instead citing that the only crime she had committed was that of 'not loving the King as I should have'. It is taken that this meant the temper tantrums that Anne had thrown, accusing the King of another woman, or not loving her, ect, ect. Indeed, Anne was thought never to have loved the King, but to use him to get to her own aims, and the aims of her father, her brothers and her uncle. I sincerely hope that this helps.

Most of Anne's possesions were destroyed after her execution. There are numerous myths about Anne's B necklace but it is very unlikely that the original survived.

Anne hadn't given him a son and most of her children had been still born except for Elizabeth. Henry got tried of waiting for Anne to have a boy so he started seeing other women. Finally, he 'fell in love' with Jane Seymour wanting to get out of the marriage he created false charges against Ann to have her beheaded

Executions with axes are clumpsy and causes the victim pain. Since the King didn't want Anne to suffer, a specially educated swordsman from France was hired to execute her with a sword.

Anne Boleyn, wife #2 was beheaded by a French swordsman.... with a sword. go figure! lol. and Catherine Howard, wife #5 was beheaded by an ax.

After Anne Boleyn failed to give King Henry a son (instead, she had a daughter who would eventually become the Queen of England), she was accused, and found guilty, of adultery, incest, and high treason.

Anne Boleyn was the second wife of Henry VIII, married to him between January 25, 1533, and May 17, 1536, two days before her execution. they were together for 3 years and 3 months!!!

The Tudor chronicler, Edward Hall, writes that the couple had a ceremony before their 25th January ceremony at Whitehall, he records that they were married on St Erkenwald's Day (14th November) 1532 on their return from France.

Interesting!

On the Tower Green, an executioner used a sharpened sword, (instead of the traditional axe,) to decapitate the Queen of England. It is reported that, after Anne was blindfolded, the executioner called out for his sword, in order to distract her into believing she had time before her death. Then, he allegedly produced it from under a pile of straw and sliced her head off in a single stroke. This is assumed to have been done not out of cruelty, but solely to prevent her the fear of an impending death.

Henry decided that he no longer loved Anne because she couldn't give him a son and had fallen in love with Jane Seymour. He accused her of having an affair and of course found her guilty. As a result he had her beheaded but at the time when she was executed, Henry played a game of tennis!

Two. Don't believe anything else, because it is a myth. After her death, people went around saying all sorts of weird things about her to support the (untrue) claim that she was a witch. Physical deformities were thought to be the outward manifestation of inner evil back then.

Prince Arthur of Wales (1486 - 1502) the first son of Henry VII, the first Tudor king, and Elizabeth of York, and Henry VIII's older brother, died on 2 April 1502 at the age of 15. It is not completely clear what he died of, but it may have been consumption (TB). He was already married to Princess Catherine of Aragon on 14 November 1501 - so they were married for only 5 months, but after he died, Catherine eventually became betrothed to Henry (they did not get married until 1509). Prince Arthur was laid to rest in Worcester Cathedral, England.

She was beheaded on 19 May 1536 for treason. It is debatable whether she actually committed the crimes of which she was accused.

Anne Boleyn married King Henry VIII, not Henry VII. She refused to become his mistress. She was smart enough to know that mistresses were temporary and she wanted to be his lawful wife and queen. She did capitulate when he agreed to divorce his first queen (Catherine of Aragon). As it turned out she was pregnant (with Elizabeth) when she and Henry married.
