The Rise of Anne Boleyn

Anne Boleyn was born in 1501 to a wealthy and influential family. She was educated in France and became a lady-in-waiting to Queen Catherine of Aragon. Anne was a beautiful and intelligent woman, and she quickly caught the eye of King Henry VIII. In 1527, Henry began an affair with Anne. The affair soon became public, and Henry began to pressure the Pope to annul his marriage to Catherine so that he could marry Anne.

The Fall of Anne Boleyn

He then married Anne Boleyn. Anne's reign as queen was short-lived. She was crowned queen in 1533, but she was executed in 1536 after being accused of treason and adultery.
