Anne Boleyn - A talk by Lesley Smith

Anne Boleyn (c.1500-1536) is one of the most intriguing figures in British history. Her love-match with Henry VIII and her subsequent execution at the Tower of London after only three years of marriage have inspired dozens of books and films.

More importantly, Anne's marriage to Henry resulted in the birth of a future queen, Elizabeth I. Elizabeth would later become one of England's most famous monarchs.

Was Anne a ruthless schemer or was her death simply a tragic consequence of court politics?
