For a woman who played such an important part in English history, we know remarkably little about her earliest years. Anne was born in about 1500 at Blickling and the date of birth is between the end of May and beginning of June.
Anne was about 12-13, as that was the minimum age for a ‘fille d’honneur’. It was from there that she was transferred to the household of Mary, Henry VIII’s sister, who was married to Louis XII of France. Anne’s sister Mary was already in ‘the French Queen’s’ attendance. However, when Louis died, Mary Boleyn returned to England with Mary Tudor, while Anne remained in France to attend Claude, the new French queen. Anne remained in France for the next 6 or 7 years.
Henry and Anne married secretly on January in 1533.Sometime near the end of 1533, Anne finally gave way and by December she was pregnant. To avoid any questions of the legitimacy of the child, Henry was forced into action. Sometime near St. Paul’s Day (January 25) 1533, Anne and Henry were secretly married. Although the King’s marriage to Catherine was not dissolved, in the King’s mind it had never existed in the first place, so he was free to marry whomever he wanted. On May 23, the Archbishop officially proclaimed that the marriage of Henry and Catherine was invalid.
On the beginning of 1536 Henry started to not like Anne as much as before. Later on Henry turned against Anne totally so on 19 May she was executed.
