Where Exactly Is Anne Boleyn's Body?

Anne Boleyn was Queen of England from 1533 to 1536 as the second wife of King Henry VIII. In 1536 she discovered her husband was having an affair with Jane Seymour, one of her ladies in waiting. Some believe the shock and betrayal caused Anne to suffer a miscarriage in early February.

The birth of a healthy male baby probably would have saved Anne's life, but since she was unable to produce a male heir to the throne, her husband decided to simply replace her. She was imprisoned in May and later that month executed. To add insult to all of this injury, no one bothered to give Anne a proper burial.
