Bess Dudley: How would history be different if Anne Boleyn died in 1528?
Anne Boleyn contracted the sweating sickness and became deathly ill in the summer of 1528, five years before she was married to Henry VIII. How different do you think history would be if she had died? Just something to ponder.

Hi,
Nothing different really. Old Henry had a roving eye as they say and wanted a son. He would have picked another cute court gal and gone through with divorce proceedings just the same and break off with the Roman church for not granting a divorce.

Answer by AnnieI think it would be very different. Because yes he would have found another girl, for example Jane Seymour, but would they have had the same drive and ambition as Anne, doubtful. She was a one of a kind women who wanted more than any other women before her, not to be his mistress but a wife.
A good question is “What if Emperor Charles V did not have the Pope under his control?” Then maybe the Pope would have annulled the marriage between Henry and Kathrine without any problems….. What if is a fun game….
