Anne Boleyn was never the queen of France. She was a lady-in-waiting for the French queen for a while, that's all.
She became the lady-in-waiting when she was very young, something like 7 years old. Like her older sister Mary, she was a subject to her father's greed for position and he used his children as pawns.
She became very confident in herself, knowing that she wasn't beautiful but was able to hold the man's attention by playing hard-to-get, which Henry VIII obviously loved.
Rumors were spread about her and due to that, today we cannot really say if she was truly ruthless and cruel or just a misunderstood woman who most hated because she was not of royal birth and was being put down solely for her ambitions.
Once Henry got what he wanted from her, she wasn't smart enough to tone down her demands on him and he quickly found her too controlling and interfering with things he believed she should have left alone. She also didn't seem to be able to give birth to a son who lived beyond a few days.
She died as a proud woman, expressing love for her husband and the king. She would not admit to the (false) allegations of adultery and incest, which might have saved her life.
Here is her speech that she gave at her execution:

Your "research" better start out with the fact that she was not Queen of France.

I remember research papers as being something you do "research"
on,not asking peple for the answers . try the library ot the internet. Maybe you'll actually learn something. Is this what our future holds? Your parents are probably responsible for handing everything to you. Now you expect to get things the easy way.
Pick up a book, you moron, and quit expecting to get everything the easy way. Welcome to the real world !!!! maybe your picture is under "lazy:" in the dictionary..
