Abstract
Anne Boleyn was Queen of England, the second wife of Henry VIII, and the mother of Elizabeth I. She had lived a turbulent yet astonishing life that is highlighted by her passionate love affair with Henry VIII. She was executed after being falsely accused of adultery and treason. Her sudden rise and fall made her a very controversial historical
figure. This study was conducted through an analytical approach. It took a dive in the final months of Anne Boleyn’s life as Queen up until her execution. It also reveals what happened behind the scenes to cause her untimely death. This study shows that her husband, Henry VIII, was one of the primary causes of her death due to the impact that his jousting accident had on his brain, the chaotic political situation of his reign, and the influence of his advisers. It also helps prove that the ultimate reason that made Anne Boleyn targeted by many was due to her feminist tendencies. The study provides an
acknowledgment of her contributions to the Reformation movement and to the women whom helped shape her way of thinking.
