January 29 - Queen Anne Boleyn miscarries

On this day in Tudor history, 29th January 1536, the same day that Catherine of Aragon was buried at Peterborough Abbey, Queen Anne Boleyn, second wife of King Henry VIII suffered a miscarriage.

 

Contemporary accounts state that she was around 3 1/2 months pregnant and that it was a boy.
