Countess Anne, also known as Anne Boleyn, was the second wife of King Henry VIII of England and the mother of Queen Elizabeth I. She played a crucial role in the English Reformation by influencing Henry's break from the Roman Catholic Church to marry her. Born around 1501, Anne was educated in the Netherlands and France, which shaped her strong personality and political acumen. Her marriage to Henry in 1533 led to her coronation as queen, but she was executed in 1536 on charges of treason, adultery, and incest, which many historians believe were fabricated.
