Anne Boleyn

Anne Boleyn was the second wife of King Henry VIII, the queen of England and the mother of Elizabeth Tudor, the future Elizabeth I of England. 
A short-tempered yet charismatic and intelligent young woman, Anne is introduced to Henry; by her father, Lord Thomas Boleyn; who wishes to improve his own social standing; by having one of his daughters seduce the king. She infatuates Henry; by refusing to be his mistress; which only increases Henry's desire to marry her. She is part of a conspiracy; with her father and her uncle, the Duke of Norfolk to ruin their longtime enemy, Cardinal Wolsey.
During Anne's rise to power as the queen of England from June 1, 1533 to May 17, 1536, Anne manages to make more enemies which leaves her with few allies when she falls out of Henry's favor. Despite her eventual execution (May 19, 1536) her legacy continued through the English Reformation and through her daughter, Elizabeth, who became the queen regnant of England, known as the Virgin Queen, and led England into the "golden age".
