ALL THINGS ANNE BOLEYN

May was a tumultuous month for Anne Boleyn, the doomed second queen of Henry VIII. In May of 1533 she married Henry thus becoming queen after bringing about the English Reformation so that Henry could secure a divorce from Katherine of Aragon. On May 2, 1536 just three short years later, she was taken to the Tower. Then on May 19 (same date as the wedding of the former Duke and Duchess of Sussex!), Anne met the executioner.

Before her tragic (and definitely orchestrated end) she was a glamorous queen, early feminist, and fiercely intelligent woman at a time when that was not a good look for a lady. To celebrate the life of England’s most infamous queen, here is a round up of all things Anne Boleyn!
