This e-book is an extract from Encounters that Changed the World and is also available as part of that complete publication.
Anne Boleyn's meteoric rise from complete obscurity to the dizzy heights of the English throne was followed by an equally swift journey to the Tower of London. Accused of plotting to kill the King, Anne was no murderer. Her real crime was that she failed to produce a male heir for Henry VIII. In the topsy turvy world of the Tudors, Anne was certain to lose her head. Read about Anne Boleyn's torrid romance with Henry VIII and her spectacular fall from grace, along with many other momentous encounters with love that changed the world forever.
