Anna Bolena è stata regina consorte d'Inghilterra e Irlanda, dal 1533 al 1536, come seconda moglie di Enrico VIII Tudor. Per gentile concessione fu primo marchese di Pembroke, nonché madre della futura regina Elisabetta I.
Il suo matrimonio con Enrico VIII fu causa di considerevoli sconvolgimenti politici e religiosi che diedero origine allo Scisma anglicano.
