One of history's most divisive personalities, Anne Boleyn has taken the spotlight again in Hilary Mantel's new novel "Bring Up the Bodies." Here are five other portrayals of the queen in pop culture.
This young adult novel by Carolyn Meyer tackles the story of the young queen, who is portrayed as ambitious. In Meyer's version, the idea of becoming queen is planted in Anne's head when she's only 13, after she becomes jealous of her sister Mary, who is renowned for her beauty and beloved at court. Anne declares that one day she'll be the queen and Mary will have to kneel to her. The book also portrays Anne as manipulating Henry into making her his wife.
