# Anne Boleyn

The first fact about Anne Boleyn in a public catalog is a Tower detention and a disputed indictment, not a romantic preface to Elizabeth. TNA at https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ and British History Online at https://www.british-history.ac.uk/ calendar May 1536 as arrest, charge, trial, and death. Britannica at https://www.britannica.com/biography/Anne-Boleyn and ODNB-line lives mark the sexual counts as contested. HRP Tower at https://www.hrp.org.uk/tower-of-london/ presents the killing site. 1534 treason-and-succession statutes as later official text at https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ widened the net. Cambridge court studies treat faction. Foxe as later BL print makes a martyr-heading — reception, not a verdict. The offsets are also URLs. Hever at https://www.hevercastle.co.uk/ is a public house. Elizabeth’s 1533 birth is a documented dynastic event. Reformist patronage, where named in studies, is a knowledge path of medium confidence, not a unique Act of Supremacy she signed. What the score must not say: that the 1536 sexual counts are established; that she authored dissolution; that 1563 proves 1536 innocence; that a 2000 catalogue is 1533. Complex contribution is the honest type. Confidence is high on detention, trial, and execution as events, medium on unique faction coefficients, low on private sexual facts. Related people are Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, Cromwell, George Boleyn. 2 May is arrest. 15 May is trial. 19 May is death. Allegation is not judgment. The useful question is which later public pages still move warrant, allegation, and a child’s later reign under her name. Keep arrest indictment trial and execution on separate dates. Remaining dated instruments kept after dropping later editions, museums, and split rows: 1536-05-02 Anne is arrested and committed to the Tower in May 1536; 1536-05-10 Indictments of adultery, treason, and incest are a completed allegation-instrument; 1536-05-15 The 15 May 1536 trial is a completed peer-court process; 1536-05-19 Anne is beheaded on 19 May 1536 as a completed royal killing; 1536-05-17 The co-accused men are executed on 17 May 1536; 1536-05-20 Elizabeth’s status is rewritten after the killing as a completed succession instrument; 1536-05-01 Mark Smeaton’s confession is printed as a pressure-product, not a verified diary; 1534-01-01 The 1534 treason and succession acts widen a net that later caught her; 1533-01-25 A January 1533 marriage is a completed ceremony in the received file; 1533-06-01 The June 1533 coronation is a completed public rite; 1533-09-07 Elizabeth is born on 7 September 1533 as a completed dynastic event; 1534-06-01 Reformist and evangelical patronage at her court is a completed heading of the mid-1530s. Later Loeb, UNESCO, and encyclopedia pages are evidence, not additional acts. This catalog keeps only instruments dated to the lifetime (or received lifetime date) of Anne Boleyn. Posthumous museums, critical editions, UNESCO listings, and political reception by later states are evidence, not additional acts. The honest deficiency is that the current 30-Fact / 10-Article / 10-News Person gate cannot be met from securely dated instruments without attributing later editors and excavators to the ancient name. Related 2024–2025 news about COP, NATO, or a German chancellorship is not a relation.
