Anne was clever,witty,and had the good sense to refuse to become Henry's mistress while he was still married to Catherine of Aragon. This encouraged him to find a way of divorcing Catherine,even if the Pope would not allow it. In 1533,Anne married Henry,and gave birth to Elizabeth. But,like Catherine,Anne was unable to give Henry a son. Henry grew tired of her sharp tongue and quick wit,and decided to destroy her.
