Anne Boleyn is most famously known for the fact she was the second wife to King Henry VIII and that she lost her head for her troubles. She is most probably one of the most well known women in English history, but not many people actually know much about her.
Her marriage to Henry led to England breaking from the Catholic Church, and within three years, Anne was being beheaded via a french swordsman from Calais.
Anne's burial place then remained a mystery for three hundred years, until the reign of Queen Victoria, when human remains were found during a renovation of The Tower of London's Chapel.
