Do you think Anne Boleyn was guilty of adultory with any of her 'supposed' lovers and was she deserving of an execution?

According to Brewer's British Royalty

"Henry determined to rid himself of her..... Anne had undoubtedly indulged in light hearted flirtations both before and during her marriage, but there is no real evidence that she was guilty of adultery with Henry Norris or an incestuous relationship with her brother George, Viscount Rochford."

Probably not. But Henry wanted a son and it wasn't happening with Anne...

Henry also believed that God was punishing him for his divorce (and break with the Catholic church) by not giving him a son. Some people think that in some way, he saw Anne as the cause of that problem and decided that if he got rid of her, problem would be solved.
