Anne Boleyn
Sometime between 1499 and 1507, somewhere in England, there was born a baby girl. This girl was thought to be so small and insignificant, that no one bothered to record the date, place, or details of her birth. It wasn't until she was twelve that anything at all was recorded about her, actually. Yes, she truly did seem as though she would amount to nothing. However, this girl was named Anne Boleyn, and even though she started small and powerless, she became one of the greatest influences on King Henry VIII there ever was.The exact date and even year of Anne Boleyn's birth is unknown, because, when she was born, she was considered so unimportant, no one took the time to record it. It has been guessed that she was born anywhere from 1499 to 1507. My source set the year as 1505. Also, her place of birth could have been either Blinkling Hall or Hever Castle, both of which were owned by her family. Most likely, however, she was born at Blinkling Hall.Little, if anything, is known of Anne's childhood. However, it is known that at the age of twelve or thirteen, she was sent by her father to the court of Archduchess Margaret to be a lady-in-waiting. Around 1521, she returned to England, where her father had arranged for her
Of course, all were found guilty (even though only one confessed- Mark Smeaton- and it is believed that he did so only under torture) and sentenced to death by beheading. The men were executed on May 17th, 1536 outside the Tower of the Church of Peter. Even though in public Henry showed no feeling toward Anne at all, he continued to sleep with her, and soon after, she conceived again. Anne Boleyn most definitely made a major impact on history. Also, she brought Elizabeth I into the world, who eventually became Queen of England, and made an impact herself. He was at Richmond Castle with Jane Seymour. In 1527, Henry sent a letter to the pope in Rome asking for a divorce. Later that spring, Anne's coronation took place, and she officially became the Queen of England. However, it was clear from the beginning that the Pope had no intention of giving in to Henry's wishes. Then, in May, Henry had the new church declare his marriage to Catherine void, and his marriage to Anne true. Then, on May 19th, 1536, Anne was led to the same place her friends had been taken two days earlier, and was beheaded. Then in January 1533, after discovering that she was pregnant with the king's child, Anne secretly married Henry. Henry "mercifully" had a French swordsman execute her with a sharp sword, which was a much cleaner and quicker tool then the dull English axes usually used. After this incident, Henry fell out of love with Anne as quickly as he had fallen in love with her just a few years earlier. Percy fought against it until his father mentioned his betrothal to Lady Mary Talbot, at which point Harry had no choice but to give up.
