Ruling for just three years, Anne Boleyn can nevertheless claim to be one of the most famous queens in English history. She became Queen when Henry VIII’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon was annulled. However, the marriage was not a happy one, as she failed to provide the male heir that was expected of her; she was eventually executed on charges of witchcraft, incest and adultery in 1536. She has been labeled a willing participant in her affair and marriage to Henry VIII by some, while others claim that she was a victim of ‘royal bullying’ on the part of Henry and that she had no choice but to submit to him. Whatever the really story may be, it has captivated the English public since she first entered the Royal Court.
