Anne of the Thousand Days

HE WAS KING OF ENGLAND-SHE, BARELY 18. And in their thousand days they played out the most passionate and shocking love story in history. Henry VIII was a man quick to become infatuated and quick to become displeased. His greatest concern was to produce a male heir to the throne. Catherine of Aragon, his patient first wife, only bore him a daughter. And in 1527, Henry fell in love with the coy and flirtatious Anne Boleyn. A love affair that is one of the most remarkable courtships in British history between monarch and subject. He divorced Catherine, broke with the Catholic Church, and on January 25th, 1533, Henry married Anne in secert. A union that would only last a thousand days © Universal Pictures
