Answer

The fall of Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII, occurred in 1536, the same year that George Boleyn, her brother, was executed for treason. Anne was accused of adultery, treason, and witchcraft, and was beheaded at the Tower of London. Her downfall marked a significant shift in the political and religious landscape of England, as Henry VIII sought to consolidate his power and establish the English Reformation.
