Anne Boleyn

Anne Boleyn


Born: 1501 at Blickling Hall

Mother: Lady Elizabeth Howard

Father: Thomas Boleyn, Earl of Wiltshire, Earl of Ormonde and Viscount Rochford

Married: 25th January 1533, wedding declared valid 28th may 1533

Children:  
1) 7th September 1533: Elizabeth Tudor
2) 1534: Miscarriage/Stillbirth
3) 29th January 1536: Miscarriage of a son approximately three and a half months 
 
Reign: 28th Mary 1533 – 17th May 1536

Coronation: 1st June 1533

Marriage status: Annulled 17th May 1536. Possibly due to consanguinity – meaning that due to Henry’s previous sexual relationship with Anne’s sister Mary, it would have put Anne within the first degree of affinity to Henry; essentially he would have been marrying his sister. Thus it would have been against Cannon law for Henry to marry Anne

Motto: The Most Happy

Died: 19th May 1536 at Tower of London, beheaded with a French sword

Buried: 19th May 1536 Chapel of St Peter Ad Vincula in the Tower of London
