Happy June everyone!

1st June: Greensleeves by Anon (this means anonymous)

On 1 June 1533 Anne Boleyn married Henry VIII - his second wife - and become queen of England. It is a popular notion that the song 'Greensleeves' was written around this time by Henry for his new wife. It became something of a hit, and by 1597 it was popular enough to be referenced in Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor. Anne's popularity with Henry, unfortunately, was not so enduring. Less than three years later her had her beheaded at the Tower of London.
