Anne Boleyn
Anne Boleyn was the mistress (and later wife) 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)
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 Missy'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) The Third Doctor recalled seeing the execution in an earlier incarnation, and noted that it took several swipes, as most executions did. (PROSE: Deadly Reunion)
The Sixth Doctor was in possession of six wedding invitations from Henry VIII. (COMIC: The Gift [+]Loading...["The Gift (comic story)"]) The Second Doctor and Polly counted the wives of Henry VIII using the rhyme "divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived". (PROSE: The Roundheads [+]Loading...["The Roundheads (novel)"])
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)
