After Henry married Anne Bolelyn, once again the pattern of living daughters and stillborn sons re-emerged. In the meantime Henry had fallen in love with Jane Seymour.
Anne gave birth to 3 babies in her years as queen - Two sons were stillborn and she had one living daughter.
Knowing that England would not tolerate another situation like Catherine's, Henry's people brought false charges against Anne, her brother, and several men of the court, that they had been involved in adulterous affairs.
Anne was eventually falsely found guilty and beheaded.
Elizabeth I was the only living offspring of Anne Bolelyn and Henry VIII.
