The Resume

    (1502-May 19, 1536)
    Second wife of King Henry VIII
    Mother of Queen Elizabeth I

Why she might be annoying:

    She became involved with King Henry when he was still married to Catherine of Aragon.
    She was unpopular at Henry's court and with the people.
    She did not produce the male heir Henry wanted.
    She was accused of adultery, incest and plotting to kill her husband and was subsequently beheaded.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She was probably innocent of the charges against her.
    It wasn't her fault she didn't have a son, because it's the man's sperm that determines the gender of the child.
    Her daughter, Elizabeth, was England's greatest ruler.
