Find out why Anne Boleyn, one of Henry's many wives, was executed in The Tower of London in 1536. 

Other figures to learn about include Sir William Wallace and his fight for Scotland's independence, and Queen Elizabeth I,  whose victory over the Spanish Armada in 1588 was considered one of England's greatest military achievements.
