Henry's Defiance - the Victory of Anne | Chapter 6 | The Wives of Henry VIII | Martin Hume

This is a audio recording/book of The Wives of Henry the Eighth and the Parts They Played in History, Henry's Defiance - the Victory of Anne, Chapter 6 by Martin A. S. Hume.

Anne Boleyn (c. 1501 – 19 May 1536) was Henry's second wife and the mother of Elizabeth I. Henry's marriage to Anne and her execution made her a key figure in the political and religious upheaval at the start of the English Reformation. She was the daughter of Sir Thomas Boleyn and Lady Elizabeth Boleyn (born Lady Elizabeth Howard), and she was of nobler birth than Jane Seymour, Henry's later wife. She was dark-haired with beautiful features and lively manners; she was educated in Europe. She studied French and lived there for part of her life. She was largely as a lady-in-waiting to Queen Claude of France.
