description: Alluring but not beautiful Anne's wit and poise won her numerous admirers at the English court and caught the roving eye of King Henry. Anne was determined to shape her own destiny first through a secret engagement to Henry Percy the heir of the Earl of Northumberland and later through her insistence on marriage with the king after a long and tempestuous relationship as his mistress. Their love affair was as extreme as it was deadly from Henry's 'mine own sweetheart' to 'cursed and poisoning whore' her fall from grace was total.
