href="/wiki/Wives_of_Henry_VIII" title="Wives of Henry VIII">second wife</a> of King <a href="/wiki/Henry_VIII" title="Henry VIII">Henry VIII</a>. The circumstances of her marriage and execution, by beheading for treason, made her a key figure in the political and religious upheaval that marked the start of the <a href="/wiki/English_Reformation" title="English Reformation">English Reformation</a>. Anne was the daughter of <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Boleyn,_1st_Earl_of_Wiltshire" title="Thomas Boleyn, 1st Earl of Wiltshire">Thomas Boleyn (later Earl of Wiltshire)</a>, and his wife, <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_Boleyn,_Countess_of_Wiltshire" title="Elizabeth Boleyn, Countess of Wiltshire">Elizabeth Howard</a>, and was educated in the <a href="/wiki/Seventeen_Provinces" title="Seventeen Provinces">Netherlands</a> and <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_France" title="Kingdom of France">France</a>. Anne returned to England in early 1522, to marry her cousin <a href="/wiki/James_Butler,_9th_Earl_of_Ormond" title="James Butler, 9th Earl of Ormond">James Butler, 9th Earl of Ormond</a>; the marriage plans were broken off, and instead, she secured a post at court as <a href="/wiki/Maid_of_honour" title="Maid of honour">maid of honour</a> to Henry VIII's wife, <a href="/wiki/Catherine_of_Aragon" title="Catherine of Aragon">Catherine of Aragon</a>. Early in 1523, Anne was secretly betrothed to <a href="/wiki/Henry_Percy,_6th_Earl_of_Northumberland" title="Henry Percy, 6th Earl of Northumberland">Henry Percy</a>, son of <a href="/wiki/Henry_Percy,_5th_Earl_of_Northumberland" title="Henry Percy, 5th Earl of Northumberland">Henry Percy, 5th Earl of Northumberland</a>, but the betrothal was broken off when the Earl refused to support it. <a href="/wiki/Cardinal_(Catholic_Church)" title="Cardinal (Catholic Church)">Cardinal</a> <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Wolsey" title="Thomas Wolsey">Thomas Wolsey</a> refused the match in January 1524. In February or March 1526, Henry VIII began his pursuit of Anne. She resisted his attempts to seduce her, refusing to become his mistress, as her sister <a href="/wiki/Mary_Boleyn" title="Mary Boleyn">Mary</a> had previously been. Henry focused on annulling his marriage to Catherine, so he would be free to marry Anne. After Wolsey failed to obtain an annulment from <a href="/wiki/Pope_Clement_VII" title="Pope Clement VII">Pope Clement VII</a>, it became clear the marriage would not be annulled by the <a href="/wiki/Catholic_Church" title="Catholic Church">Catholic Church</a>. As a result, Henry and his advisers, such as <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Cromwell" title="Thomas Cromwell">Thomas Cromwell</a>, began breaking the Church's power in England and <a href="/wiki/Dissolution_of_the_monasteries" title="Dissolution of the monasteries">closing the monasteries</a>. Henry and Anne formally married on 25 January 1533, after a secret wedding on 14 November 1532. On 23 May 1533, the newly appointed <a href="/wiki/Archbishop_of_Canterbury" title="Archbishop of Canterbury">Archbishop of Canterbury</a> <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Cranmer" title="Thomas Cranmer">Thomas Cranmer</a> declared Henry and Catherine's marriage null and void. Five days later, he declared Henry and Anne's marriage valid. Clement <a href="/wiki/Excommunicated" class="mw-redirect" title="Excommunicated">excommunicated</a> Henry and Cranmer. As a result of the marriage and excommunications, the first break between the <a href="/wiki/Church_of_England" title="Church of England">Church of England</a> and the Catholic Church took place, and the King took control of the Church of England. Anne was crowned queen on 1 June 1533. On 7 September, she gave birth to the future Queen <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_I" title="Elizabeth I">Elizabeth I</a>. Henry was disappointed to have a daughter, but hoped a son would follow and professed to love Elizabeth. Anne subsequently had three miscarriages and by March 1536, Henry was courting <a href="/wiki/Jane_Seymour" title="Jane Seymour">Jane Seymour</a>. Henry had Anne investigated for high treason in April 1536. On 2 May, she was arrested and sent to the <a href="/wiki/Tower_of_London" title="Tower of London">Tower of London</a>, where she was tried before a jury, including Henry Percy, her former betrothed, and her uncle <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Howard,_3rd_Duke_of_Norfolk" title="Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk">Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk</a>. She was convicted on 15 May and beheaded four days later. Historians view the charges, which included adultery, incest with her brother <a href="/wiki/George_Boleyn,_Viscount_Rochford" title="George Boleyn, Viscount Rochford">George</a>, and plotting to kill the King, as unconvincing.<a href="#cite_note-11">[10]</a><a href="#cite_note-12">[11]</a> After her daughter, Elizabeth, became queen in 1558, Anne became venerated as a martyr and heroine of the <a href="/wiki/English_Reformation" title="English Reformation">English Reformation</a>, particularly through the works of <a href="/wiki/George_Wyatt_(writer)" title="George Wyatt (writer)">George Wyatt</a>.<a href="#cite_note-13">[12]</a> She has inspired, or been mentioned in, many <a href="/wiki/Cultural_depictions_of_Anne_Boleyn" title="Cultural depictions of Anne Boleyn">cultural works</a> and retained her hold on the popular imagination.

The key piece of surviving written evidence is a letter Anne wrote sometime in 1514.<a href="#cite_note-21">[20]</a> She wrote it in French to her father, who was still living in <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_England" title="Kingdom of England">England</a> while Anne was completing her education at <a href="/wiki/Mechelen" title="Mechelen">Mechelen</a>, in the <a href="/wiki/Habsburg_Netherlands" title="Habsburg Netherlands">Habsburg Netherlands</a>, now Belgium. Ives argues that the style of the letter and its mature handwriting prove that Anne must have been about 13 at the time of its composition, while Warnicke argues that the numerous misspellings and grammar errors show that the letter was written by a child. In Ives's view, this would also be around the minimum age that a girl could be a maid of honour, as Anne was to the regent,<a href="#cite_note-22">[21]</a> <a href="/wiki/Margaret_of_Austria,_Duchess_of_Savoy" title="Margaret of Austria, Duchess of Savoy">Margaret of Austria</a>. This is supported by claims of a chronicler from the late 16th century, who wrote that Anne was 20 when she returned from France.<a href="#cite_note-23">[22]</a> These findings are contested by Warnicke in several books and articles, and the evidence does not conclusively support either date.<a href="#cite_note-24">[23]</a> An independent contemporary source supports the 1507 date: <a href="/wiki/William_Camden" title="William Camden">William Camden</a> wrote a history of the reign of Elizabeth I and was granted access to the private papers of <a href="/wiki/William_Cecil,_1st_Baron_Burghley" title="William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley">Lord Burghley</a> and to the state archives. In that history, in the chapter dealing with Elizabeth's early life, he records that Anne was born in 1507.<a href="#cite_note-25">[24]</a><a href="#cite_note-27">[b]</a> Anne's paternal ancestor, <a href="/wiki/Geoffrey_Boleyn" title="Geoffrey Boleyn">Geoffrey Boleyn</a>, had been a mercer and wool merchant before becoming <a href="/wiki/Lord_mayor" title="Lord mayor">Lord Mayor</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Ives,_p.3-5">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-28">[26]</a> The Boleyn family originally came from <a href="/wiki/Blickling" title="Blickling">Blickling</a> in Norfolk, 15 miles (24 km) north of <a href="/wiki/Norwich" title="Norwich">Norwich</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Ives,_p.3-5">[5]</a> Anne's relatives included the <a href="/wiki/Howard_family" title="Howard family">Howards</a>, one of the preeminent families in England; and Anne's ancestors included King <a href="/wiki/Edward_I_of_England" title="Edward I of England">Edward I of England</a>.

In 1513, she was invited to join the schoolroom of Margaret of Austria and her four wards. Her academic education was limited to arithmetic, her family genealogy, grammar, history, reading, spelling and writing.

woman courtier ... her carriage was graceful and her French clothes were pleasing and stylish; she danced with ease, had a pleasant singing voice, played the <a href="/wiki/Lute" title="Lute">lute</a> and several other musical instruments well, and spoke French fluently ... A remarkable, intelligent, quick-witted young noblewoman ... that first drew people into conversation with her and then amused and entertained them. In short, her energy and vitality made her the center of attention in any social gathering".<a href="#cite_note-48">[46]</a> Henry VIII's biographer <a href="/wiki/J._J._Scarisbrick" class="mw-redirect" title="J. J. Scarisbrick">J. J. Scarisbrick</a> adds that Anne "revelled in" the attention she received from her admirers.<a href="#cite_note-49">[47]</a> During this time, Anne was courted by <a href="/wiki/Henry_Percy,_6th_Earl_of_Northumberland" title="Henry Percy, 6th Earl of Northumberland">Henry Percy</a>, son of the <a href="/wiki/Henry_Percy,_5th_Earl_of_Northumberland" title="Henry Percy, 5th Earl of Northumberland">Earl of Northumberland</a>, and entered into a secret betrothal with him. <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Wolsey" title="Thomas Wolsey">Thomas Wolsey</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Gentleman_Usher#History" title="Gentleman Usher">gentleman usher</a>, <a href="/wiki/George_Cavendish_(writer)" title="George Cavendish (writer)">George Cavendish</a>, maintained the two had not been lovers.<a href="#cite_note-50">[48]</a> The romance was broken off when Percy's father refused to support their engagement. Wolsey refused the match for several conjectured reasons. According to Cavendish, Anne was sent from court to her family's countryside estates, but it is not known for how long.<a href="#cite_note-51">[49]</a> Upon her return to court, she again entered the service of Catherine of Aragon.<a href="#cite_note-52">[50]</a> Percy was married to <a href="/wiki/Mary_Percy,_Countess_of_Northumberland" title="Mary Percy, Countess of Northumberland">Lady Mary Talbot</a>,<a href="#cite_note-53">[51]</a> to whom he had been betrothed since adolescence. Before marrying Henry VIII, Anne had befriended Sir <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Wyatt_(poet)" title="Thomas Wyatt (poet)">Thomas Wyatt</a>, one of the greatest poets of the <a href="/wiki/Tudor_period" title="Tudor period">Tudor period</a>. In 1520, Wyatt married Elizabeth Cobham, who by many accounts was not a wife of his choosing.<a href="#cite_note-54">[52]</a> In 1525, Wyatt charged his wife with adultery and separated from her; coincidentally, historians believe that it was also the year when his interest in Anne intensified. In 1532, Wyatt accompanied the royal couple to Calais.<a href="#cite_note-55">[53]</a> In 1526, Henry VIII became enamoured of Anne and began his pursuit.<a href="#cite_note-56">[54]</a> Anne was a skilful player at the game of courtly love, which was often played in the antechambers. This may have been how she caught the eye of Henry, who was also an experienced player.<a href="#cite_note-57">[55]</a> Anne resisted Henry's attempts to seduce her, refusing to become his mistress, and often leaving court for the seclusion of Hever Castle. But within a year, he proposed marriage to her, and she accepted.<a href="#cite_note-58">[56]</a> Both assumed an annulment could be obtained within months. There is no evidence to suggest that they engaged in a sexual relationship until very shortly before their marriage; Henry's love letters to Anne suggest that their love affair remained unconsummated for much of their seven-year courtship.<a href="#cite_note-59">[57]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Henry's_annulment">Henry's annulment</h3></div> It is probable that Henry had thought of the idea of annulment (not divorce as commonly assumed) much earlier than this as he strongly desired a male heir to secure the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Tudor" title="House of Tudor">Tudor</a> claim to the crown.<a href="#cite_note-60">[58]</a> Before <a href="/wiki/Henry_VII_of_England" title="Henry VII of England">Henry VII</a> ascended the throne, England was beset by <a href="/wiki/Wars_of_the_Roses" title="Wars of the Roses">civil warfare</a> over rival claims to the crown, and Henry VIII wanted to avoid similar uncertainty over the succession. He and Catherine had no living sons: all Catherine's children except <a href="/wiki/Mary_I_of_England" title="Mary I of England">Mary</a> died in infancy.<a href="#cite_note-61">[59]</a> Catherine had first come to England to be bride to Henry's brother <a href="/wiki/Arthur,_Prince_of_Wales" title="Arthur, Prince of Wales">Arthur, Prince of Wales</a>, who died soon after their marriage. Since Spain and <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_England" title="Kingdom of England">England</a> still wanted an alliance, <a href="/wiki/Pope_Julius_II" title="Pope Julius II">Pope Julius II</a> granted a <a href="/wiki/Dispensation_(Catholic_canon_law)" title="Dispensation (Catholic canon law)">dispensation</a> for their marriage on the grounds that Catherine was "perchance" (forsum) still a virgin.<a href="#cite_note-62">[60]</a> Catherine and Henry married in 1509 but eventually he became dubious about the marriage's validity, claiming that Catherine's inability to provide an heir was a sign of God's displeasure. His feelings for Anne, and her refusals to become his mistress, probably contributed to Henry's decision that no pope had a right to overrule the Bible. This meant that he had been living in sin with Catherine, although Catherine hotly contested this and refused to concede that her marriage to Arthur had been consummated.<a href="#cite_note-63">[61]</a> It also meant that his daughter Mary was a bastard, and that the new pope (<a href="/wiki/Pope_Clement_VII" title="Pope Clement VII">Clement VII</a>) would have to admit the previous pope's mistake and annul the marriage. Henry's quest for an annulment became euphemistically known as the "<a href="/wiki/Catherine_of_Aragon#The_King's_great_matter" title="Catherine of Aragon">King's Great Matter</a>".<a href="#cite_note-64">[62]</a> Anne saw an opportunity in Henry's infatuation and the convenient moral quandary. She determined that she would yield to his embraces only as his acknowledged queen. She began to take her place at his side in policy and in state, but not yet in his bed.<a href="#cite_note-65">[63]</a> Scholars and historians hold various opinions as to how deep Anne's commitment to the Reformation was, how much she was perhaps only personally ambitious, and how much she had to do with Henry's defiance of papal power: Ives, <a href="/wiki/Maria_Dowling" title="Maria Dowling">Maria Dowling</a> and <a href="/wiki/David_Starkey" title="David Starkey">David Starkey</a> are among those who believe that she was a devout evangelical,<a href="#cite_note-66">[64]</a><a href="#cite_note-67">[65]</a> whereas Warnicke and <a href="/wiki/George_W._Bernard" title="George W. Bernard">George Bernard</a> hold that her religious beliefs were "conventional".<a href="#cite_note-68">[66]</a> There is anecdotal evidence, related to biographer <a href="/wiki/George_Wyatt_(writer)" title="George Wyatt (writer)">George Wyatt</a> by her former lady-in-waiting <a href="/wiki/Anne_Gainsford" title="Anne Gainsford">Anne Gainsford</a>,<a href="#cite_note-69">[67]</a> that Anne brought to Henry's attention a heretical pamphlet, perhaps <a href="/wiki/William_Tyndale" title="William Tyndale">William Tyndale</a>'s <a href="/wiki/The_Obedience_of_a_Christian_Man" title="The Obedience of a Christian Man">The Obedience of a Christian Man</a> or one by <a href="/wiki/Simon_Fish" title="Simon Fish">Simon Fish</a> called A Supplication for the Beggars, which cried out to monarchs to rein in the evil excesses of the Catholic Church. She was sympathetic to those seeking further reformation of the Church, and actively protected scholars working on English translations of the scriptures.<a href="#cite_note-70">[68]</a> According to <a href="/wiki/Maria_Dowling" title="Maria Dowling">Maria Dowling</a>, "Anne tried to educate her waiting-women in scriptural piety" and is believed to have reproved her cousin, <a href="/wiki/Margaret_and_Mary_Shelton" class="mw-redirect" title="Margaret and Mary Shelton">Mary Shelton</a>, for "having 'idle poesies' written in her prayer book."<a href="#cite_note-71">[69]</a> In 1528, <a href="/wiki/Sweating_sickness" title="Sweating sickness">sweating sickness</a> broke out with great severity. In London, the mortality rate was great and the court was dispersed. Henry left London, frequently changing his residence; Anne Boleyn retreated to the Boleyn residence at Hever Castle, but contracted the illness; her brother-in-law, William Carey, died. Henry sent his own physician to Hever Castle to care for Anne,<a href="#cite_note-72">[70]</a> and shortly afterwards she recovered. Henry was soon absorbed in securing an annulment from Catherine.<a href="#cite_note-73">[71]</a> He set his hopes upon a direct appeal to the <a href="/wiki/Holy_See" title="Holy See">Holy See</a>, acting independently of Wolsey, to whom he at first communicated nothing of his plans. In 1527 <a href="/wiki/William_Knight_(bishop)" title="William Knight (bishop)">William Knight</a>, the King's secretary, was sent to <a href="/wiki/Pope_Clement_VII" title="Pope Clement VII">Pope Clement VII</a> to sue for the annulment of Henry's marriage to Catherine, on the grounds that the dispensing <a href="/wiki/Papal_bull" title="Papal bull">bull</a> of Julius II permitting him to marry his brother's widow, Catherine, had been obtained under false pretences. Henry also petitioned, in the event of his becoming free, a dispensation to contract a new marriage with any woman even in the first degree of affinity, whether the affinity was contracted by lawful or unlawful connection. This referred to Anne.<a href="#cite_note-74">[72]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Catalina_de_Arag%C3%B3n,_palacio_de_Lambeth.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/61/Catalina_de_Arag%C3%B3n%2C_palacio_de_Lambeth.jpg/170px-Catalina_de_Arag%C3%B3n%2C_palacio_de_Lambeth.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="217" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/61/Catalina_de_Arag%C3%B3n%2C_palacio_de_Lambeth.jpg/255px-Catalina_de_Arag%C3%B3n%2C_palacio_de_Lambeth.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/61/Catalina_de_Arag%C3%B3n%2C_palacio_de_Lambeth.jpg/340px-Catalina_de_Arag%C3%B3n%2C_palacio_de_Lambeth.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1318" data-file-height="1686" /></a><figcaption>16th-century portrait of <a href="/wiki/Catherine_of_Aragon" title="Catherine of Aragon">Catherine of Aragon</a>, Henry's first wife, by an unidentified English painter</figcaption></figure> As Clement was at that time a prisoner of <a href="/wiki/Charles_V,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor">Charles V</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Holy Roman Emperor">Holy Roman Emperor</a>, as a result of the <a href="/wiki/Sack_of_Rome_(1527)" title="Sack of Rome (1527)">Sack of Rome</a> in May 1527, Knight had some difficulty obtaining access. In the end he had to return with a conditional dispensation, which Wolsey insisted was technically insufficient.<a href="#cite_note-75">[73]</a> Henry then had no choice but to put his great matter into Wolsey's hands, who did all he could to secure a decision in Henry's favour,<a href="#cite_note-76">[74]</a> even going so far as to convene an <a href="/wiki/Ecclesiastical_court" title="Ecclesiastical court">ecclesiastical court</a> in England, with a special emissary, <a href="/wiki/Lorenzo_Campeggio" title="Lorenzo Campeggio">Lorenzo Campeggio</a>, from Clement to decide the matter. But Clement had not empowered his deputy to make a decision. He was still Charles V's hostage, and Charles V was loyal to his aunt Catherine.<a href="#cite_note-77">[75]</a> The Pope forbade Henry to contract a new marriage until a decision was reached in Rome, not in England. Convinced that Wolsey's loyalties lay with the Pope, not England, Anne, as well as Wolsey's many enemies, ensured his dismissal from public office in 1529. Cavendish, Wolsey's chamberlain, records that the servants who waited on the King and Anne at dinner in 1529 in Grafton heard her say that the dishonour Wolsey had brought upon the realm would have cost any other Englishman his head. Henry replied, "Why then I perceive ... you are not the Cardinal's friend.".<a href="#cite_note-78">[76]</a> Henry finally agreed to Wolsey's arrest on grounds of <a href="/wiki/Praemunire" title="Praemunire">praemunire</a>.<a href="#cite_note-79">[77]</a> Had it not been for his death from illness in 1530, Wolsey might have been executed for treason.<a href="#cite_note-80">[78]</a> In 1531 (two years before Henry's marriage to Anne), Catherine was banished from court and her rooms given to Anne. Public support remained with Catherine. One evening, in the autumn of 1531, Anne was dining at a manor house on the <a href="/wiki/River_Thames" title="River Thames">River Thames</a> and was almost seized by a crowd of angry women.

With Catherine dead, Henry would be free to marry without any taint of illegality. At this time, Henry began paying court to one of Anne's maids-of-honour, <a href="/wiki/Jane_Seymour" title="Jane Seymour">Jane Seymour</a>, and allegedly gave her a locket containing a <a href="/wiki/Portrait_miniature" title="Portrait miniature">portrait miniature</a> of himself. While wearing this locket in the presence of Anne, Jane began opening and closing it. Anne responded by ripping the locket off Jane's neck with such force that her fingers bled.<a href="#cite_note-129">[127]</a> Later that month, the King was unhorsed in a tournament and knocked unconscious for two hours, a worrying incident that Anne believed led to her miscarriage five days later.<a href="#cite_note-130">[128]</a> Another possible cause of the miscarriage was an incident in which, upon entering a room, Anne saw Jane Seymour sitting on Henry's lap and flew into a rage.<a href="#cite_note-131">[129]</a> Whatever the cause, on the day that Catherine of Aragon was buried at <a href="/wiki/Peterborough_Abbey" class="mw-redirect" title="Peterborough Abbey">Peterborough Abbey</a>, Anne miscarried a baby which, according to the Imperial ambassador <a href="/wiki/Eustace_Chapuys" title="Eustace Chapuys">Eustace Chapuys</a>, she had borne for about three and a half months, and which "seemed to be a male child".<a href="#cite_note-132">[130]</a><a href="#cite_note-cjd-133">[131]</a> Chapuys commented "She has miscarried of her saviour."<a href="#cite_note-134">[132]</a> In Chapuys's opinion, this loss was the beginning of the end of the royal marriage.<a href="#cite_note-135">[133]</a> Given Henry's desperate desire for a son, the sequence of Anne's pregnancies has attracted much interest.

Whereas you send unto me (willing me to confess a truth, and so obtain your favour) by such an one, whom you know to be my ancient professed enemy. I no sooner received this message by him, than I rightly conceived your meaning; and if, as you say, confessing a truth indeed may procure my safety, I shall with all willingness and duty perform your demand. But let not your Grace ever imagine, that your poor wife will ever be brought to acknowledge a fault, where not so much as a thought thereof preceded. And to speak a truth, never prince had wife more loyal in all duty, and in all true affection, than you have ever found in Anne Boleyn: with which name and place I could willingly have contented myself, if God and your Grace's pleasure had been so pleased. Neither did I at any time so far forget myself in my exaltation or received Queenship, but that I always looked for such an alteration as I now find; for the ground of my preferment being on no surer foundation than your Grace's fancy, the least alteration I knew was fit and sufficient to draw that fancy to some other object. You have chosen me, from a low estate, to be your Queen and companion, far beyond my desert or desire. If then you found me worthy of such honour, good your Grace let not any light fancy, or bad council of mine enemies, withdraw your princely favour from me; neither let that stain, that unworthy stain, of a disloyal heart toward your good grace, ever cast so foul a blot on your most dutiful wife, and the infant-princess your daughter. Try me, good king, but let me have a lawful trial, and let not my sworn enemies sit as my accusers and judges; yea let me receive an open trial, for my truth shall fear no open flame; then shall you see either my innocence cleared, your suspicion and conscience satisfied, the ignominy and slander of the world stopped, or my guilt openly declared. So that whatsoever God or you may determine of me, your grace may be freed of an open censure, and mine offense being so lawfully proved, your grace is at liberty, both before God and man, not only to execute worthy punishment on me as an unlawful wife, but to follow your affection, already settled on that party, for whose sake I am now as I am, whose name I could some good while since have pointed unto, your Grace being not ignorant of my suspicion therein. But if you have already determined of me, and that not only my death, but an infamous slander must bring you the enjoying of your desired happiness; then I desire of God, that he will pardon your great sin therein, and likewise mine enemies, the instruments thereof, and that he will not call you to a strict account of your unprincely and cruel usage of me, at his general judgment-seat, where both you and myself must shortly appear, and in whose judgment I doubt not (whatsoever the world may think of me) mine innocence shall be openly known, and sufficiently cleared. My last and only request shall be, that myself may only bear the burden of your Grace's displeasure, and that it may not touch the innocent souls of those poor gentlemen, who (as I understand) are likewise in strait imprisonment for my sake. If ever I found favour in your sight, if ever the name of Anne Boleyn hath been pleasing in your ears, then let me obtain this request, and I will so leave to trouble your Grace any further, with mine earnest prayers to the Trinity to have your Grace in his good keeping, and to direct you in all your actions.

Perhaps, in the end, it is Thomas Cromwell's assessment that comes nearest: intelligence, spirit and courage.<a href="#cite_note-207">[201]</a></blockquote> Following the coronation of her daughter as queen, Anne was venerated as a martyr and heroine of the English Reformation, particularly through the works of <a href="/wiki/John_Foxe" title="John Foxe">John Foxe</a>, who argued that Anne had saved England from the evils of Roman Catholicism and that God had provided proof of her innocence and virtue by making sure her daughter Elizabeth I ascended the throne. An example of Anne's direct influence in the reformed church is what <a href="/wiki/Alexander_Ales" title="Alexander Ales">Alexander Ales</a> described to Queen Elizabeth as the "evangelical bishops whom your holy mother appointed from among those scholars who favoured the purer doctrine".<a href="#cite_note-208">[202]</a> Over the centuries, Anne has inspired or been mentioned in numerous <a href="/wiki/Cultural_depictions_of_Anne_Boleyn" title="Cultural depictions of Anne Boleyn">artistic and cultural works</a>.

These early influences were mostly women who were engaged with art, history and religion. <a href="/wiki/Eric_Ives" title="Eric Ives">Eric Ives</a> described the women around Anne as "aristocratic women seeking spiritual fulfillment".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEIves2004278-221">[215]</a> They included Queen <a href="/wiki/Claude_of_France" title="Claude of France">Claude</a>, of whose court Anne was a member, and <a href="/wiki/Margaret_of_Valois-Angoul%C3%AAme" class="mw-redirect" title="Margaret of Valois-Angoulême">Marguerite of Angoulême</a>, who was a well-known figure during the <a href="/wiki/Renaissance" title="Renaissance">Renaissance</a> and held strong religious views that she expressed through poetry.

I come hither to accuse no man, nor to any thing of that whereof I am accused and condemned to die; but I pray God save the king, and send him long to reign over you, for a gentler, or a more merciful prince was there never; and to me he was ever a good, a gentle, and a sovereign lord."<a href="#cite_note-228">[222]</a> John Foxe, <a href="/wiki/Martyrologist" class="mw-redirect" title="Martyrologist">martyrologist</a>, included Anne in his book, Actes and Monuments, claiming she was a good woman who had sincere faith and trust in her God.

A letter from George Taylor to Lady Lisle dated 27 April 1534 says that "The queen hath a goodly belly, praying our Lord to send us a prince". In July, Anne's brother, Lord Rochford, was sent on a diplomatic mission to France to ask for the postponement of a meeting between Henry VIII and Francis I because of Anne's condition: "being so far gone with child she could not cross the sea with the king". Chapuys backs this up in a letter dated 27 July, where he refers to Anne's pregnancy. We do not know what happened with this pregnancy as there is no evidence of the outcome. Dewhurst writes of how the pregnancy could have resulted in a miscarriage or stillbirth, but there is no evidence to support this, he therefore wonders if it was a case of pseudocyesis, a false pregnancy, caused by the stress that Anne was under – the pressure to provide a son. Chapuys wrote on 27 September 1534 "Since the king began to doubt whether his lady was enceinte or not, he has renewed and increased the love he formerly had for a beautiful damsel of the court". Muriel St Clair Byrne, editor of the Lisle Letters, believes that this was a false pregnancy too. </li> <li id="cite_note-:3-238"><a href="#cite_ref-:3_238-0">^</a> The only evidence for a miscarriage in 1535 is a sentence from a letter from Sir William Kingston to Lord Lisle on 24 June 1535 when Kingston says "Her Grace has as fair a belly as I have ever seen". However, Dewhurst thinks that there is an error in the dating of this letter as the editor of the Lisle Letters states that this letter is actually from 1533 or 1534 because it also refers to Sir Christopher Garneys, a man who died in October 1534. </li> <li id="cite_note-:4-239"><a href="#cite_ref-:4_239-0">^</a> Chapuys reported to Charles V on 10 February 1536 that Anne Boleyn had miscarried on the day of Catherine of Aragon's funeral: "On the day of the interment [of Catherine of Aragon] the concubine [Anne] had an abortion which seemed to be a male child which she had not borne 3 1/2 months". </li> </ol></div></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Bibliography">Bibliography</h2></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239549316">.mw-parser-output .refbegin{margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .refbegin-hanging-indents>ul{margin-left:0}.mw-parser-output .refbegin-hanging-indents>ul>li{margin-left:0;padding-left:3.2em;text-indent:-3.2em}.mw-parser-output .refbegin-hanging-indents ul,.mw-parser-output .refbegin-hanging-indents ul li{list-style:none}@media(max-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .refbegin-hanging-indents>ul>li{padding-left:1.6em;text-indent:-1.6em}}.mw-parser-output .refbegin-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .refbegin-columns ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .refbegin-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .refbegin{font-size:90%}}</style><div class="refbegin refbegin-columns references-column-width" style="column-width: 30em"> <ul><li><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFAshley2002" class="citation book cs1">Ashley, Mike (2002).
