If Anne boleyn was born in 1509, she would still have a few more years of childbearing before she was considered infertile. What i’m getting at is why would Henry execute her even if she had committed a treason that was never proved, if maybe, just maybe, she could eventually give birth to the son Henry yearned for?

  1. This is a good question because it reveals that Henry wanted Anne dead under any circumstances. If he loved her, he would want her kid, and he would wait for his male heir. This question reveals Henry VIII as a as a cold-blooded murderer. Anne was not past childbearing age in the event she was born in 1501. Henry used Anne to get out of his marriage and Anne believed she deserved to be queen. When their common goal was reached — getting rid of Katherine, not standing up to Rome — the rest of what bound them together disintegrated, proving it was never about love, but about Henry’s need to perpetuate his family’s rule. The merciful swordsman? Please. That was to pacify his male critics. The women were horrified beyond words I’m sure.
