Anne Boleyn

 
Anne Boleyn was the second of Henry viii wives and i think she is the prettiest. she was queen for three years and then she got beheaded. she gave birth to Elizabeth. Henry told the judges that she was guilty of witchcraft and treason but she really had not done anything wrong. the only reason that Henry said that she was guilty was because he wanted a boy and all the boys Anne gave birth to had a ready died when they were born and her only child that survived was Elizabeth and she was a girl. when Anne got beheaded she hired a French swordsman  to make sure her Head came of quickly.
