Anne Boleyn

Anne's last few months

Towards the end of her life, Anne Boleyn had been depressed and terrified of what would happen to her. Her husband, Henry VIII had begun to grow tired of her and her failed pregnancies. Around the time Anne had her final pregnancy, Henry was beginning to court Jane Seymour. Anne Boleyn was losing favour. Various events occurred that might have also caused Anne to miscarry. Jane Seymour was strict and formal compared to her flamboyant predecessor, Anne Boleyn. ...


According to an account given by her ladies, Anne Boleyn went into a room where Henry VIII and Jane Seymour were eating together. Anne is said to have thrown Jane out and started screaming at Henry uncontrollably. She threw a huge tantrum and her ladies had to restrain her.
