Profile
Anne Boleyn was the second wife of King Henry VIII of England. Henry's first wife, Catherine of Aragon, did not produce an heir to his throne. In 1525, Henry began courting Anne and sought an annulment with Catherine. The pope would not grant an annulment, which created much upheaval and the start of the English Reformation. Scandal ensued when Anne could not birth a child. She died by execution.© 2012 A+E Networks. All rights reserved.

Loved to Death
View groupWhen one lover attacks another in a moment of unbridled emotion—or tries to eliminate their romantic competition—it's traditionally been known as 'a crime of passion.' These days, fits of rage over lost love are often chalked up to 'temporary insanity.' Whatever you call them, crimes committed in the name of love have been part of our cultural history since ancient times. Here are some of the most famous examples of passion-gone-wrong, from those who couldn't bear to part with their true love to those who found themselves on the receiving end of an obsessive romance.

Beheaded
View groupWhether by sword, axe or guillotine, death by beheading was historically considered the most humane form of death sentence—as long as the executioner was swift, strong and good at hitting his mark. While the practice was never legally supported in the United States, we do give the method a nod in this country whenever we use the term "capital punishment"; the word "capital" is derived from the Latin "capitalis," which translates to "of the head." Here are some of the most famous victims of this gruesome form of execution.
