All of those accusations were very likely not true. She couldn't give him a male heir and so he got rid of her. She gave birth to a still born son and and miscarried a couple times so he thought that God didn't approve of the marriage(or so he said). He got rid of her after Catherine of Aragorn died so he wouldn't be pressured to remarry Catherine.
Amazing that he said he loved all of his wives except Anna of Cleves isn't it?

Henry was desperate for a male heir, and being King was of the mind that he could not be the problem, it must be the woman.
He had already solved the problem of divorcing a wife with his first wife Catherine of Aragon, and his break from the Catholic church...there was no reason save his own tyrannical nature and his fear of losing the monarchy for the Tudor house after his death. Also, he was bitterly disappointed by the miscarriage of the male heir she was carrying, and embarassed by it when rumors began to fly that he was incapable of producing an heir. The charges brougth against her had no evidence, but satisfied everyone. She was dubbed "the great whore" by the people because of the divorce of Catherine by Henry.

Read the book, Anne Boelyn by Phillipa Gregory. Anne went through a lot more than was shown in the showtime series, The Tudors. Yes of course it was made up so he could get a new wife. She had too much to lose to do all the things they said. Women were not worth much in those days. People in general were dispensable.

Henry was a major failure with women. He changed the religion in England to dump his first fiasco, the daughter of the horrible Isabelle of Castile. He could not come up with a better excuse for his second wife, so he killed her. The only wife that he truly had a good excuse to get rid of was his third wife, since she died on him.

No she probably didn't Her father was as much to blame for his behavior as was King Henry.I mean what kind of father sells his daughters off for Royal favors the man was sick and twisted.But King Henry was a absolute Monarch meaning when he said "I'm the king of England" it meant something. Usually your head.

She commited adultery which along with 30 other crimes was punishable by death in England in those days.As of today England has no death penalty.
