Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What year was Anne Born?

Answer: Year unknown

 There has always been discussions and disagreements regarding Annes year of birth. Guesses range from 1499-1507 but most scholars choose between 1501 or 1507. The date 1501 is the most favoured and is supported by an example of Anne's handwriting done in 1514. I guess though it's just one of those things we will never know!
2. What were Anne's siblings names?

Answer: Mary and George

 Mary and George, and of course. There are debates as to who was the eldest of the three!
3. What distinctive feature was Anne reported to have?

Answer: A double nail and a large Adams apple

 It is reported by one of her more friendly biographers - George Wyatt grandson of Thomas Wyatt - that she had a double nail and a large adams apple 'like a man's'. Despite these alleged imperfections she was still considered to be attractive.
4. After leaving England, and before serving at the French court, what country did Anne go to?

Answer: Netherlands

 Anne spent about two years in the Netherlands as a member of the the court of Margaret of Austria.
5. Who did Anne fall in love with and secretly become betrothed to?

Answer: Lord Henry Percy

 Anne Boleyn fell in love with, and was secretly betrothed to Lord Henry Percy. The love affair ended when they were forbidden to marry because of Anne's "inferior" lineage.
6. What date was Anne crowned Queen Consort of England?

Answer: 1 June 1533

 25 January 1533 is the date a second wedding service took place for Anne and Henry in London, they married first in secret. 23 May 1533 is the date that Thomas Cranmer declared the marriage of Henry and Katherine null and void, and on 7 September 1533 Elizabeth I was born. A busy year!
7. What was the charge against Anne that led to her being beheaded?

Answer: All of these

 She was charged with adultery with Master Mark Smeaton, Sir Francis Weston, Sir Henry Norris and Willam Brereton, and incest with her brother George. The charge of high treason was for Anne's suspected conspiracy with some of her lovers to murder the king, an allegation that also lacked any supporting evidence.
8. How was Anne executed?

Answer: By a sword

 Henry almost had her burnt at the stake, then changed his mind and allowed her to be beheaded instead. He even allowed her to be executed with a sword rather than an axe, and gave her a choice in who would perform the deed. Anne chose a French executioner who was said to be very skilled. Little comfort, I'm sure!
9. Where is Anne buried?

Answer: In the chapel of St Peter ad Vincula

 Anne never had a coffin provided for her by Henry. Her body and head were placed in an chest and buried in an unmarked grave in the chapel of St Peter and Vincula. During a thorough restoration of the chapel in the 19th century her body was identified and the place was then marked on the floor.
10. Jane Seymour was the next of Henry VIII's queens. When did they marry?

Answer: 30 May 1536

 Henry became betrothed to Jane on 20 May 1536, the day after Anne's execution, and married her on 30 May. Jane was publicly proclaimed as queen on 4 June. Prince Edward was born on 12 October 1537.
