Abstract

Although Anne Boleyn was queen for fewer than three years, she remains one of the most famous—and contentious—consorts in English history. The following chapter evaluates Anne’s life, from her early education abroad, through her relationship with Henry VIII, to her execution on Tower Green in May 1536. It highlights Anne’s relationship with religious reform, and with evangelical reformers such as Nicholas Shaxton and Edward Crome. In doing so, it argues that Anne played a significant role the early years of the Henrician Reformation. Her contributions to evangelical reform were considerable, and it is through such contributions that she made her mark on the history of England.
