Anne Boleyn
Anne Boleyn(c. 1501 – 19 May 1536) was the Queen of England from 1533 to 1536 as the second wife of King Henry VIII and Marquess of Pembroke in her own right. Henry's marriage to Anne, and her subsequent execution, made her a key figure in the political and religious upheaval that was the start of the English Reformation.She was educated in the Netherlands and France, largely as a maid of honour to Claude of France. She returned to England in early 1522, to marry her Irish cousin James Butler, 9th Earl of Ormond; the marriage plans were broken up by Cardinal Wolsey, and instead she became the maid of honour to Henry VIII's wife, Catherine of Aragon. King Henry VIII ordered her execution in the Tower of London because she gave a birth to a female child since he wanted a male heir of his throne.
Henry VIII, King of England
Henry VIII (28 June 1491 – 28 January 1547) was the King of England from 21 April 1509 until his death. He was Lord, and later assumed the Kingship, of Ireland, and continued the nominal claim by English monarchs to the Kingdom of France. Henry was the second monarch of the Tudor dynasty, succeeding his father, Henry VII. Besides his six marriages, Henry VIII is known for his role in the separation of the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church. His disagreements with the Pope led to his separation of the Church of England from papal authority, with himself, as king, as the Supreme Head of the Church of England and to the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Henry oversaw the legal union of England and Wales with the Laws in Wales Acts 1535 and 1542.
