Anne Boleyn was the second wife of King Henry VIII of England and the mother of Queen Elizabeth I. 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)
Her stepdaughter Queen Mary I referred to her contemptuously as a [[concubine]] and noted that her younger half-sister Elizabeth bore a striking resemblance to a lute player in her father's court. (AUDIO: The Marian Conspiracy)
Because the Tenth Doctor married Queen Elizabeth, Anne Boleyn would be his mother-in-law. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
