29. She Was A Bully

Of course, we know now that Henry's annulment was no easy feat. But few know Anne's dark role in the proceedings. Tag-teaming with Henry, she began campaigning Cardinal Wolsey—the same man who'd nixed her wedding to Henry Percy—to support her new romantic ambitions. And when Wolsey couldn't convince the Church to annul the royal union, Anne's wrath was bone-chilling.

30. She All But Killed A Man

In the beginning, Anne played sweet at the English court, hiding the same infamous temper she'd always had. Well, now she hit the roof. Aghast at Wolsey's failure, she turned on him like a rabid dog. Within months, she had a direct hand in getting him charged with high treason, and the stressed and aging Cardinal died soon after.

Still, this revenge wasn't enough for Anne. She had tasted power, and she soon came back for more.
