Anne Boleyn, is she just your classic Queen of England or is there more to her life? Keep reading to find out.

First, I will talk about her family and friends. Rumors went around about her relationship with her brother (George Boleyn), but they were not true. They were rumors spread by her potential enemies who wanted King Henry VII (Yes, she was his 2nd wife) to remarry. Did you know that Anne Boleyn was the mother of Queen Elizabeth the 1st . Queen Elizabeth the 1st reined for 44 years.

Now I will talk about Anne Boleyn's life before marriage. Anne Boleyn was the Maid of Honor for King Henry’s previous wife, Catherine of Aragon. Anne Boleyn did not want to be a mistress and pushed for marriage, which changed history by forcing King Henry VII to break away from the Roman Catholic Church.

Next, I will share some fun facts. She played a key role in breaking away from the Roman Catholic Church, which led to the creation of the Church of England. Anne Boleyn was both admired and disliked for her lively personality. She promoted the reading of the scripture in English. The scripture was typically written in Latin. That made religion more accessible for people. Anne Boleyn was buried in the Chapel of St. Peter ad Vincula in an unmarked grave.

Finaly I will talk about her Execution. King Henry VII ordered a skilled swordsman for her execution (instead of the typical axe) so her death would be quicker, cleaner, and more merciful. Anne Boleyn died 490 years ago, on May 19,1536.

Anne Boleyn was so fun to learn about! It is hard to believe all these things happened to her. I hope you enjoyed my research!
