- The second of Henry VIII's six wives. Anne Boleyn (1501-1536) was married to the King for only three years from 1533-1536. Instead of the sought after male heir, Anne was pregnant with another princess, Elizabeth (later Elizabeth I). Anne was supported by religious reformers but was also hated by many at court. After a miscarriage, her fate was sealed and she was arrested (and later executed at the Tower of London) for adultery and incest.
The witty and vivacious second wife of Henry VIII met a gruesome end, Anne Boleyn was beheaded after the King tired of waiting for her to bear him a son.
Here she is beautifully presented in the Royal Doulton figurine HN 3232, Anne Boleyn is shown in a regal ermine cloak and rich gown. At her slender neck is her distinctive necklace featuring her initial.
