<p>Jennifer Hörnke: </p> <hr /> <div>between 1501 and 1508 in Blicking (Norfolk) - 19 May 1536. Second of the six wives of [[Henry VIII]] of England. She was Queen of England from 1533 to 1536.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Family ==<br /> <br /> Her parents were Thomas Boleyn and Elizabeth Howard, who got married in 1501. Thomas Boleyn's ancestors were rich merchants. He served the King because of his perfect French and Latin. Apart from that he was a Gentleman of the Bedchamber under Henry VIII. Anne's mother had aristocratic ancestors among them [[Edward I]] of England and his second wife [[Margaret of France]]. The Duke of Norfolk was Anne's maternal grandfather and her uncle was married to a sister of [[Elizabeth of York]]. Anne had two siblings - Mary and George.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Early Life ==<br /> <br /> Anne Boleyn spent the first part of her childhood in Blicking. Some years later the family moved to Hever Castle. The three children were taught French by Mademoiselle Semmonet and Anne's French was decribed as very fluent. Later she met [[Thomas Wyatt]], who was the eldest son of one of the neighbouring families. Her father did not agree on a marriage, because he had higher plans for Anne. She was sent to Belgium where she lived at Brussel's Court. In 1514 she came to France and was eventually made court lady and received an excellent education. In 1521 she returned to England, supposedly to marry the son of the Earl of Ormond. This marriage eventually did not come about. In England she served as court lady of Henry VIII's sister Mary and of his wife, [[Catherine of Aragon]], later. <br /> <br /> <br /> == Queen Anne of England ==<br /> <br /> Probably in 1526, at the age of 35, Henry VIII recognized his affection for Anne Boleyn during the carnival. Their relationship was established very slowly, because at first Anne did not give in to the King's wooing. In 1528 Anne did not live at Queen Catherine's royal household anymore. Supposedly she was sent to Durnham House to wait for Henry VIII. In 1531 Queen Catherine was banished to rural England but her marriage with Henry VIII was not anulled yet.<br /> <br /> Henry VIII appointed Anne Lady Rochford. In 1532 she was made ''Marquis'' of Pembroke. Thereby she not only received thirteen estates in Wales, Somerset, Essex and Hertfordshire, but also a male title that could be inherited. In December 1532 she became pregnant. Henry VIII secretely married her on 25 January 1533. Their wedding was kept a secret until Henry VIII's marriage with Catherine of Aragon was declared null and void on 23 May of the same year. Anne Boleyn was crowned on 1 June 1533 and named Anne Queen of England from this day on. Two days later she performed the traditional pompous procession through London to Westminster. The Londoners were not in favour of the new Queen and there was not much jubilance during the procession. They even made fun of the new royal couple by turning the initial letters of their first names into a loud 'HAHAHA'.<br /> <br /> On 7 September 1533 Anne gave birth to her first child, [[Elizabeth I|Elizabeth]], named after Henry VIII's mother. The King was disappointed, because he had hoped for a boy. Nevertheless, Elizabeth was declared Henry's only legitimate child and heir. His seventeen-year-old daughter Mary (the later [[Mary I]]) from his first wife Catherine of Aragon on the other hand was declared a bastard child. <br /> <br /> Anyway, back to Anne Boleyn, who is the true topic of this entry. Anne was known for her extravagant lifestyle. She spent a lot of money for the redesign of the chambers at [[Hampton Court]] and ordered the royal gardens to be built after the French geometric model. On the other hand she was interested in education and the French Humanism. She also supported translations of the Bible into the mother tongue.<br /> <br /> In 1534 her second child was stillborn and in 1536 she had a still born child again. This last stillborn child was a boy, who Henry VIII had hoped for. Henry VIII's affection for her more and more disappeared. In the meantime he had turned to another mistress - [[Jane Seymour]]. Now he had to get rid of Anne in order to marry Jane Seymour. To achieve this aim, he accused Anne of using witchcraft against him. In January 1936 Henry VIII charged a commission with the collecting of information which could be used against Anne Boleyn. [[Thomas Cromwell]] was the supervisor of this examination. Anne was arrested in Greenwich on 2 May 1936. She was accused of sexual misconduct in five cases, an incestuous relationship with her brother George and of taking part in a conspiracy against King Henry VIII. A week later the trial took place in the [[Tower of London]] and Anne and her alleged lovers were sentenced to death.<br /> <br /> Anne Boleyn was executed by beheading at the Tower of London on 19 May 1936. Her execution was kind of unique, because Henry VIII had hired the expert executioner of Calais. Instead of using an axe he used his very sharp sword. Anne was entombed in the chapel of the Tower of London on the next day.<br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Sources ==<br /> <br /> <br /> Chapman, Hester W.: ''Anne Boleyn''.

<p>Jennifer Hörnke: </p> <hr /> <div>between 1501 and 1508 in Blicking (Norfolk) - 19 May 1536. Second of the six wives of [[Henry VIII]] of England. She was Queen of England from 1533 to 1536.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Family ==<br /> <br /> Her parents were Thomas Boleyn and Elizabeth Howard, who got married in 1501. Thomas Boleyn's ancestors were rich merchants. He served the King because of his perfect French and Latin. Apart from that he was a Gentleman of the Bedchamber under Henry VIII. Anne's mother had aristocratic ancestors among them [[Edward I]] of England and his second wife [[Margaret of France]]. The Duke of Norfolk was Anne's maternal grandfather and her uncle was married to a sister of [[Elizabeth of York]]. Anne had two siblings - Mary and George.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Early Life ==<br /> <br /> Anne Boleyn spent the first part of her childhood in Blicking. Some years later the family moved to Hever Castle. The three children were taught French by Mademoiselle Semmonet and Anne's French was decribed as very fluent. Later she met [[Thomas Wyatt]], who was the eldest son of one of the neighbouring families. Her father did not agree on a marriage, because he had higher plans for Anne. She was sent to Belgium where she lived at Brussel's Court. In 1514 she came to France and was eventually made court lady and received an excellent education. In 1521 she returned to England, supposedly to marry the son of the Earl of Ormond. This marriage eventually did not come about. In England she served as court lady of Henry VIII's sister Mary and of his wife, [[Catherine of Aragon]], later. <br /> <br /> == Queen Anne of England ==<br /> <br /> Probably in 1526, at the age of 35, Henry VIII recognized his affection for Anne Boleyn during the carnival. Their relationship was established very slowly, because at first Anne did not give in to the King's wooing. In 1528 Anne did not live at Queen Catherine's royal household anymore. Supposedly she was sent to Durnham House to wait for Henry VIII. In 1531 Queen Catherine was banished to rural England but her marriage with Henry VIII was not anulled yet.<br /> <br /> Henry VIII appointed Anne Lady Rochford. In 1532 she was made ''Marquis'' of Pembroke. Thereby she not only received thirteen estates in Wales, Somerset, Essex and Hertfordshire, but also a male title that could be inherited. In December 1532 she became pregnant. Henry VIII secretely married her on 25 January 1533. Their wedding was kept a secret until Henry VIII's marriage with Catherine of Aragon was declared null and void on 23 May of the same year. Anne Boleyn was crowned on 1 June 1533 and named Anne Queen of England from this day on. Two days later she performed the traditional pompous procession through London to Westminster. The Londoners were not in favour of the new Queen and there was not much jubilance during the procession.

The Londoners were not in favour of the new Queen and there was not much jubilance during the procession. They even made fun of the new royal couple by turning the initial letters of their first names into a loud 'HAHAHA'. On 7 September 1533 Anne gave birth to her first child, [[Elizabeth I]], named after Henry VIII's mother. The King was disappointed, because he hope for the child to be a boy. However, Elizabeth was declared the first legitimate child of Henry VIII. His seventeen-year-old daughter Mary (the later [[Mary I]]) from his first wife Catherine of Aragon on the other side was declared a bastard child.</div>

She was Queen of England from 1533 to 1536.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Family ==<br /> <br /> Her parents were Thomas Boleyn and Elizabeth Howard, who got married in 1501. Thomas Boleyn's ancestors were rich merchants. He served for the King because of his perfect French and Latin. Apart from that he was a Gentleman of the Bedchamber under Henry VIII. Anne's mother had aristocratic ancestors among them [[Edward I]] of England and his second wife [[Margaret of France]]. The Duke of Norfolk was Anne's maternal grandfather and her uncle was married to a sister of [[Elizabeth of York]]. Anne had two sibling - Mary and George.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Early Life ==<br /> <br /> Anne Boleyn spent the first part of her childhood in Blicking. Some years later the family moved to Hever Castle. The three children were taught French by Mademoiselle Semmonet and Anne's French was decribed as very fluent. Later she met [[Thomas Wyatt]], who was the eldest son of one of the neighbouring families. Her father did not agree on a marriage, because he had higher plans for Anne. She was sent to Belgium where she lived at Brussel's Court. In 1514 she came to France and was eventually made court lady. There she received excellent court education. In 1521 she returned to England to marry the son of the Earl of Ormond. This marriage eventually did not come about. In England she served as court lady of Henry VIII's sister Mary and of his wife, [[Catherine of Aragon]], later. During that time she had a romance with Lord Percy.

Executed for treason 19 May 1536 in London. <br /> <br /> Anne was born perhaps 1501 or 1507 in Blicking Hall in Norfolk into a family with court connections. <br /> <br /> Anne first met Henry VIII in March 1522 during the reception of Spanish ambassadors by the court. By that time Henry was pretty much fed up with his wife [[Catherine of Aragon]] as well as his favorites/mistresses [[Elisabeth Blount]] and [[Mary Boleyn]] (Anne's sister). Her comeback to court happened in 1526 where she was enjoying the company of the well-educated king who at the same time had an affair with her sister. As the king's first wife Catherine did not bear any surviving male child, Anne got proposed as second wife and queen. Henry had his marriage with Catherine annulled after being announced himself a head of the Church of England. They married secretly in 1533. The young queen was not as humble as the previous Spanish queen and she was not able to give birth to a male heir. <br /> <br /> After two and half years full of jealousy arguments and disappointments because she was unable to bear him a son the king accused Anne of adultery. After the trial she was publicly beheaded.<br /> <br /> <br /> A rather brief life, which could be amended by consulting more sources.</div>
