Anne Boleyn was the second wife of King Henry VIII and was the Queen of England from 1533 to 1536. Her brief yet amazing life continues to interest historians. Though she was the Queen of England for merely three years, yet she left a legacy that is still strong. She is considered to have played a pivotal role in the saga of England breaking away from the Roman Catholic Church. She is also considered to be the reason for the birth of Anglicanism.
