Anne Boleyn was the second wife and alleged mistress originally. Famous for her seductive and vibrant personality, she won the heart of Henry. However she too was unable to produce a male heir and Henry began to loose interest. Anne Boleyn was executed by order of the King. Shortly after her death, Henry married Jane Seymore. Anne's only daughter, Elizabeth, later became one of the greatest rulers of England for over 40 years.
