Anne Boleyn

Anne Boleyn was Queen of England from 1533 to 1536 as the second wife of Henry VIII.

==Queen of England == Henry and Anne married on 25 January 1533. Anne was crowned Queen of England on 1 June 1533. On 7 September, she gave birth to the future Elizabeth I. To Henry's displeasure, however, she failed to produce a male heir. Three miscarriages followed,, and by March 1536, Henry was courting Jane Seymour.

==Arrest and Death ==  Henry had Anne investigated for high treason in April 1536. On 2 May she was arrested and sent to the Tower of London, where she was tried before a jury of peers and found guilty on 15 May. She was beheaded four days later on Tower Green.

== Paranormal Activity == A number of people have claimed to have seen Anne's ghost at the Tower of London. The most famous account of her reputed sighting was in 1864, when Major General J.D. Dundas was quartered in the Tower of London. As he was looking out the window of his quarters, he noticed a guard below in the courtyard, in front of the lodgings where Anne had been imprisoned, behaving strangely. He appeared to challenge something, which to the General "looked like a whitish, female figure sliding towards the soldier". The guard charged through the form with his bayonet, then fainted. Only the General's testimony and corroboration at the court-martial saved the guard from a lengthy prison sentence for having fainted while on duty. In 1960, W. S. Pakenham-Walsh reported having conversations with Boleyn.
