Anne Boleyn

Anne Boleyn was the mistress of King Henry VIII of England and the mother of Queen Elizabeth I. (AUDIO: Recorded Time) Queen Mary I referred to her contemptuously as a concubine. (AUDIO: The Marian Conspiracy) Mary's attitude towards Anne is completely understandable, because Anne used to order the servants living with Mary to beat her multiple times when Mary was just a teenager, and she also constantly nagged Henry to execute Mary and her mother, Catherine of Aragon, which Henry thankfully didn't do.

Because the Tenth Doctor married Queen Elizabeth, Anne Boleyn would be his mother-in-law. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)

She was involved in 's plan to befriend several Tudor women in an effort to prevent the reign of James I, who created the charter for St Luke's University, thereby preventing her imprisonment in the Vault. (PROSE: Girl Power!)

She was beheaded on 19 May 1536, shortly after meeting the Sixth Doctor and Peri Brown on 4 May. (AUDIO: Recorded Time, PROSE: The Roundheads)

In 2003, a man sold t-shirts at the Tower of London, including one with the face of Anne Boleyn. Evelyn Smythe declined, given her recent experience with beheadings in an alternate timeline. (AUDIO: Jubilee)

After she was resurrected in the City of the Saved, Anne did not remarry Henry, despite the fact that he still found her irresistible. (PROSE: A Hundred Words from a Civil War) In real life, Henry would not have found Anne irresistible if she'd ever been resurrected, because he was very much out of love and lust with her when he wanted to leave her in 1534, two years before her beheading. Anne was not beautiful or attractive, but was charming.
