Ann Boleyn
The second of his six wives,but first his mistress when he was still married to Katherine of Arigon.
He loved Ann well, but she was a determined and domineering woman,anyone she disliked was eventually beheaded. Her words to her sister Mary were that she wanted to be queen and nothing else will do and that wish she did see fulfilled, onyl whe she deceived Henry VIII did she start to lose power and a place in Henry's heart.
Things quickly changed ans she was eventually beheaded, but he gave her a swordsman from france so she did not suffer, but refused to provide a coffin for her buriel.
They quickly found an arrow chest for her and the only reason she fitted in it is that she had no head.Anne was buried under the chapel in the tower of london facing the execution green, her remains were found in an arrow box as buried when Queen Victoria had the chapel refurvished and now a marble slab show's her resting place.
