The story of the ill-fated second wife of the English king Henry VIII, whose marriage to the Henry led to momentous political and religious turmoil in England.
England in the early 1500s. Her education in France now finally over, Anne Boleyn is appointed lady-in-waiting to Catherine of Aragon, the queen of King Henry VIII. By this time, Henry has grown tired of his queen and resents the fact that she has not yet supplied him with a son and heir to the English throne. His intention is to divorce Catherine and find himself another wife. With her youth and beauty, Anne quickly finds favour with the king and it isn't long before he offers her a proposal of marriage. How awkward it is that Anne has already fallen in love - with Sir Henry Norris. Pope Clement VII's refusal to annul Henry's marriage to Catherine incenses the king. He immediately breaks of all ties with Rome and makes himself the head of the newly established Church of England. Now nothing can prevent Henry from ridding himself of the queen he despises and putting his beloved Anne in her place. The king is certain that Anne will provide him with a male heir so that his dynasty will continue - but fate decides otherwise...
