The exact date and even year of Anne Boleyn's birth is unknown, because, when she was born, she was considered so unimportant, no one took the time to record it. It has been guessed that she was born anywhere from 1499 to 1507. My source set the year as 1505. Also, her place of birth could have been either Blinkling Hall or Hever Castle, both of which were owned by her family. Most likely, however, she was born at Blinkling Hall.

Little, if anything, is known of Anne's childhood. However, it is known that at the age of twelve or thirteen, she was sent by her father to the court of Archduchess Margaret to be a lady-in-waiting. Around 1521, she returned to England, where her father had arranged for her

to Marry James Butler. However, this fell through and Anne went the court of Henry VIII's first wife, Catherine of Aragorn.

After this incident, Henry fell out of love with Anne as quickly as he had fallen in love with her just a few years earlier. It was around this time that Henry took a new mistress, Jane Seymour.

Even though in public Henry showed no feeling toward Anne at all, he continued to sleep with her, and soon after, she conceived again. However, this time she miscarried early on, and Henry set the plan in motion to get rid of her.

In 1527, Henry sent a letter to the pope in Rome asking for a divorce. Actually, what he sought was not a divorce, but an annulment that stated there had never been a marriage in the first place. Henry believed this would be possible, because before Catherine had married Henry, she had been his brother's widow, and in Leviticus there is a warning that states not to marry your brother's widow, for if you do you will be cursed with a childless marriage. Even though his 18 year marriage to Catherine had produced a daughter, Mary, to Henry it was childless, because it had not given him a son. What followed was a long, confusing trial that lasted for approximately seven years.

In May 1527, Henry appeared before Cardinal Wosley to explain his situation. In April the following year, Pope Clement VII granted Henry a papal commission to try the case in October. However, it was clear from the beginning that the Pope had no intention of giving in to Henry's wishes. Between 1527 and 1533 there stretched what seemed to be an endless of pleas, counter pleas, and stalling, during which the king's infatuation with Anne only grew stronger.
