Question: Why was Anne Boleyn killed!?
Was it just because she couldn't produce any male offspring!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Yes!. She'd also made powerful enemies at court, and Henry had fallen in love with the woman who'd become his next wife!. They trumped up charges of adultery, witchcraft and incest (torturing the men involved until they confessed to what Henry wanted them to say), and used that as an excuse to get her out of the way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, it was not because she couldn't produce male offspring!. Anne Boleyn was killed for adultery, incest and plotting to murder the King!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That was probably the real reason, but the "official" reason's were adultery, incest and plotting to murder the King!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
