Before Anne Boleyn became Queen of England, before Henry VIII broke with Rome, and before one of history's most famous royal marriages, there was simply a king who couldn't stop thinking about one remarkable young woman.

In this video, we explore the beginning of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn's extraordinary love story. Discover how Anne's years at the French court shaped her, why she refused to become the king's mistress, and how their relationship changed the course of English history forever.

Their romance would lead to the English Reformation, the creation of the Church of England, and the birth of Queen Elizabeth I—but it all began with a chance meeting.
