Henry VIII was King of England from 1509 to 1547. He married Anne Boleyn, his second wife, for three tumultuous years from 1533 to 1536. Henry fell in love with Anne Boleyn in the early 1530s and he believed his marriage to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, was invalid because she failed to produce an heir. He tries to annul the marriage so he can marry Anne.

However, the Catholic Church refused to annul Henry's marriage to Catherine, leading Henry to break with Rome and found the Church of England. He then secretly married Anne Boleyn in 1533 and she was crowned Queen of England in 1535.

Their marriage was turbulent from the start, Anne struggling to give Henry the male heir he desired. She suffered multiple miscarriages and gave birth to a stillborn son. Henry gradually loses interest in her and falls in love with Jane Seymour, one of Anne's maids.

In 1536, Anne was accused of adultery, treason and incest and imprisoned in the Tower of London. She was tried and found guilty, and Henry ordered her beheading. She was executed on May 19, 1536.

The exact reasons for Anne's demise are still debated by historians, with some suggesting that Henry simply lost interest in her and others suggesting that she He was the victim of a political conspiracy. Whatever the cause, his execution was an important event in English history and marked the end of Henry and Anne's turbulent marriage.
