Details of the BIRTH OF ANNE BOLEYN are hazy to say the least. Was she born in 1501 or 1507? Despite being the second wife of Henry VIII, the mother of Queen Elizabeth I and one of the most amazing women of history, there is much we don't know about this famous Tudor Queen and at the time of Anne Boleyn's execution at the Tower of London, no one is quite sure how old she was. Find out why historians can’t agree on the question 'when was Anne Boleyn born' and see the letter she wrote to her father, Thomas Boleyn, which should have solved the issue of 'how old was Anne Boleyn', but which throws up more problems than it solves. Learn about her life on the continent with Margaret of Austria, Queen Mary Tudor and Queen Claude of France, her dalliances with Lord Henry Percy and the poet Thomas Wyatt and of course, about Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn's affair which led to the annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon.
