# Henry marries Anne Boleyn in January 1533 as a completed ceremony in the received file Date: 1533 ## The fact Britannica and ODNB print a January 1533 marriage to [Anne Boleyn](/people/anne-boleyn), later followed by Cranmer’s sentence and Elizabeth’s birth. Parliament’s later succession acts and Anne’s 1536 death are other rows. Shared work with Cranmer and household chaplains remains named. It is one event. ## Context This is a dynastic-succession path toward Elizabeth, not a proof of the 1536 sexual counts. Those counts stay allegations on Anne’s page. [Henry VIII](/people/henry-viii)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death. Reign 1509–1547. Statutes are parliamentary instruments with royal assent: Cromwell, bishops, judges, and unnamed officers share the file. Later legislation.gov.uk and TNA pages are carriers, not autographs. Complex contribution is required. Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file. ## Evidence and sources Britannica and ODNB independently describe the January 1533 ceremony. Official or archival record: Britannica — Henry VIII (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Henry-VIII-king-of-England; Encyclopaedia Britannica). ## Significance A completed royal marriage that produced a later queen is a succession-capacity path. It does not rebate the 1536 killing. ## What is established and what is not Established: January 1533 ceremony in standard lives. Not established: that the ceremony authored 1558. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Henry VIII. They are not a public rating. The driver `democratic-resilience` is attached because the mechanism named in Significance follows from this instrument, not because a standing list of welfare headings needed another tick. Henry VIII did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. Do not merge with the 1533 Restraint of Appeals. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Henry VIII. ## People - Henry VIII: https://factrail.ai/people/henry-viii ## Drivers - Democratic Resilience: https://factrail.ai/drivers/democratic-resilience ## Sources - https://www.britannica.com/biography/Henry-VIII-king-of-England - https://www.oxforddnb.com/ ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/h8-anne-marriage-1533
