The story of Henry VIII s second wife, Anne, has always been of particular interest to me. Her story is a fascinating one, although not nearly as intere.
Henry decided the answer would be to take another wife and he didn’t cast his net wide: Anne was Catherine’s beautiful lady-in-waiting and he moved heaven and earth to make him his bride.
When the Pope refused to grant him an annulment to his first marriage, Henry broke away from Rome and created his own religion where his second marriage was, somewhat unsurprisingly, completely legal.
The marriage was short-lived.
Anne gave birth to a daughter, Elizabeth, nine months after her wedding day in September 1533, miscarried the following year and her son, who she gave birth to in January 1536 was tragically stillborn.
