Anne Boleyn

It is unknown when exactly Anne Boleyn was born, but now most historians agree that it was in 1499. Anne spent her childhood in France, and returned to England in 1521. She was not a ravishing beauty, even with her long dark hair and dark brown eyes that looked almost black. However, she used her looks to her advantage, and even got the king to notice her. She refused to be his mistress—she would only settle for being his wife. However, Henry VIII was married to Katherine of Aragon at the time, and the Church refused to let him divorce her. However, Henry broke from the Church, and they were married in 1533. Sadly, Anne was unable to bear a son, and Henry, growing impatient, found another mistress. Anne was then charges with incest, treason, and adultery, locked in the Tower, and finally executed.
