query: Anne Boleyn was in England in 1522.

positive: Anne Boleyn Anne Boleyn ( -LSB- ˈbʊlɪn -RSB- , -LSB- bəˈlɪn -RSB- or -LSB- bʊˈlɪn -RSB- )  ( 1501 -- 19 May 1536 ) was Queen of England from 1533 to 1536 as the second wife of King Henry VIII , and Marquess of Pembroke in her own right . Henry 's marriage to her , and her subsequent execution by beheading , made her a key figure in the political and religious upheaval that was the start of the English Reformation . Her daughter Elizabeth would later succeed Henry VIII as Elizabeth I , Queen of England and Ireland .   Anne was the daughter of Thomas Boleyn , 1st Earl of Wiltshire , and his wife , Lady Elizabeth Howard , and was educated in the Netherlands and France , largely as a maid of honour to Claude of France .   Anne returned to England in early 1522 , to marry her Irish cousin James Butler , 9th Earl of Ormond ; the marriage plans were broken up by Cardinal Wolsey , and instead she secured a post at court as maid of honour to Henry VIII 's wife , Catherine of Aragon .   Early in 1523 Anne was secretly betrothed to Henry Percy , son of the 5th Earl of Northumberland , but the betrothal was broken by Cardinal Wolsey in January 1524 and Anne was sent back home to Hever Castle . In February/March 1526 , Henry VIII began his pursuit of Anne . She resisted his attempts to seduce her , refusing to become his mistress -- which her sister Mary had been . It soon became the one absorbing object of Henry 's desires to annul his marriage to Queen Catherine so he would be free to marry Anne . When it became clear that Pope Clement VII would not annul the marriage , the breaking of the power of the Catholic Church in England began . In 1532 , Henry granted Anne the Marquessate of Pembroke .   Henry and Anne married on 25 January 1533 , after a secret marriage on 14 November 1532 . On 23 May 1533 , newly appointed Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Cranmer declared Henry and Catherine 's marriage null and void ; five days later , he declared Henry and Anne 's marriage valid . Shortly afterwards , the Pope decreed sentences of excommunication against Henry and Cranmer . As a result of this marriage and these excommunications , the first break between the Church of England and Rome took place and the Church of England was brought under the King 's control . Anne was crowned Queen of England on 1 June 1533 . On 7 September , she gave birth to the future Queen Elizabeth I. Henry was disappointed to have a daughter rather than a son but hoped a son would follow and professed to love Elizabeth . Anne subsequently had three miscarriages , and by March 1536 , Henry was courting Jane Seymour . In order to marry Jane Seymour , Henry had to find reasons for his marriage with Anne to end .   Henry had Anne investigated for high treason in April 1536 . On 2 May she was arrested and sent to the Tower of London , where she was tried before a jury of peers -- which included Henry Percy , her former betrothed , and her own uncle , Thomas Howard -- and found guilty on 15 May . She was beheaded four days later . Modern historians view the charges against her , which included adultery , incest , and plotting to kill the king , as unconvincing . Some say that Anne was accused of witchcraft but the indictments make no mention of this charge .   After the coronation of her daughter , Elizabeth , as queen , Anne was venerated as a martyr and heroine of the English Reformation , particularly through the works of John Foxe . Over the centuries , she has inspired , or been mentioned , in many artistic and cultural works and thereby retained her hold on the popular imagination . She has been called `` the most influential and important queen consort England has ever had '' , for she provided the occasion for Henry VIII to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon and declare his independence from the Holy See .

negative: Wives of Henry VIII The wives of Henry VIII were the six queens consort wedded to Henry VIII of England between 1509 and 1547 .   The six women who were married to Henry VIII were , in chronological order :   Catherine of Aragon ( marriage annulled , died while detained under guard at Kimbolton Castle , mother of Mary I )  Anne Boleyn ( marriage annulled , then beheaded , mother of Elizabeth I )  Jane Seymour ( died twelve days after giving birth to Edward VI , believed to be caused by birth complications )  Anne of Cleves ( marriage annulled , outlived the rest of the wives )  Catherine Howard ( beheaded )  Catherine Parr ( widowed at death of Henry VIII , remarried to Thomas Seymour )   Henry 's first marriage lasted nearly 24 years , while the remaining five totaled less than 10 years combined .   A common mnemonic device to remember the fates of Henry 's consorts is `` Divorced , beheaded , died , divorced , beheaded , survived '' . There is also a rhyme :   However , Henry did not `` divorce '' two wives , but rather had the marriages annulled . At the time , the laws relating to marriage were under the jurisdiction of canon law , and there was no divorce under canon law . Henry 's marriage to Anne Boleyn was also annulled before her death . So if one accepts the courts ' finding that the annulled marriages had never existed , Henry only had three wives : Seymour , Howard and Parr . So the rhyme would be more like this :   It is often noted that Catherine Parr `` survived him . '' In fact , Anne of Cleves also survived the king , and was the last of his queens to die . Of the six queens , Catherine of Aragon , Anne Boleyn , and Jane Seymour each gave Henry one child who survived infancy : two daughters and one son . All three of these children would eventually ascend to the throne : King Edward VI , Queen Mary I , and Queen Elizabeth I.   Catherine Howard and Anne Boleyn , the two of Henry 's queens who were beheaded , were first cousins . Several of Henry 's wives worked in at least one of his other wives ' service , typically as ladies-in-waiting : Anne Boleyn worked in Catherine of Aragon 's service , Jane Seymour worked in Catherine of Aragon 's and Anne Boleyn 's , and Catherine Howard worked in Anne of Cleves 's .   Henry was distantly related to all six of his wives through their common ancestor , King Edward I of England .   Henry and at least four of his wives ( Catherine of Aragon , Anne Boleyn , Jane Seymour , and Catherine Parr ) were portrayed in opera .

negative: With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm `` With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm '' is a darkly humorous song , written in 1934 by R. P. Weston and Bert Lee , originally performed by Stanley Holloway . It tells of how the ghost of Anne Boleyn haunts the Tower of London , seeking revenge on Henry VIII for having her beheaded .   It has been covered by many performers , including :   The Kingston Trio , with a few changes in the lyrics , including :  `` Gadzooks , she 's going to tell him off for having spilt her gore . '' to `` Gadzooks , she 's going to tell him off . She 's feeling very sore . ''  `` And when they 've had a few they shout ` Is Ars ` nal going to win ?

' / They think that it 's Red Grange , instead of poor old Ann Boleyn ''  The Barron Knights , who also changed a few lyrics including :  `` And when they 've had a few they shout ` Is Ars ` nal going to win ?

' / They think that it 's Brian Clough , instead of poor old Ann Boleyn ''  Rudy Vallee in the late 1930s with `` The Old Sow Song '' on the reverse .

query: Gaius Julius Caesar participated in a senate.

positive: Roman Senate The Roman Senate ( Senatus Romanus Senato Romano ) was a political institution in ancient Rome . It was one of the most enduring institutions in Roman history , being established in the first days of the city ( traditionally founded in 753 BC ) . It survived the overthrow of the kings in 509 BC , the fall of the Roman Republic in the 1st century BC , the division of the Roman Empire in 395 AD , the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD , and the barbarian rule of Rome in the 5th , 6th , and 7th centuries .   During the days of the kingdom , it was little more than an advisory council to the king . The last king of Rome , Lucius Tarquinius Superbus , was overthrown following a coup d'état led by Lucius Junius Brutus , who founded the Republic .   During the early Republic , the Senate was politically weak , while the executive magistrates were quite powerful . Since the transition from monarchy to constitutional rule was most likely gradual , it took several generations before the Senate was able to assert itself over the executive magistrates . By the middle Republic , the Senate had reached the apex of its republican power . The late Republic saw a decline in the Senate 's power , which began following the reforms of the tribunes Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus .   After the transition of the Republic into the Principate , the Senate lost much of its political power as well as its prestige . Following the constitutional reforms of the Emperor Diocletian , the Senate became politically irrelevant , and never regained the power that it had once held . When the seat of government was transferred out of Rome , the Senate was reduced to a municipal body . This decline in status was reinforced when the emperor Constantine the Great created an additional senate in Constantinople .   After the Western Roman Empire fell in 476 , the Senate in the West functioned for a time under barbarian rule before being restored after the reconquest of much of the Western Roman Empire 's territories during the reign of Justinian I . The Senate in Rome ultimately disappeared at some point after AD 603 ( the year in which the last known senator was mentioned ) , although the title `` senator '' was still used well into the Middle Ages as a largely meaningless honorific . However , the Eastern Senate survived in Constantinople , until the ancient institution finally vanished there c. 14th century .

positive: Gaius Julius Caesar (proconsul) Gaius Julius Caesar ( ca. 130 BC -- 85 BC ) was a Roman senator , a supporter of his brother-in-law , Gaius Marius , and the father of Gaius Julius Caesar , the dictator .   Caesar was married to Aurelia Cotta , a member of the Aurelii and Rutilii families . They had two daughters , known as Julia Major and Julia Minor , and a son , Gaius , who was born in 100 BC . He was the brother of Sextus Julius Caesar ( consul in 91 BC ) and the son of Gaius Julius Caesar .   Caesar 's progress through the cursus honorum is well known , although the specific dates associated with his offices are controversial . According to two elogia erected in Rome long after his death , Caesar was a commissioner in the colony at Cercina , military tribune , quaestor , praetor , and proconsul of Asia . The dates of these offices are unclear . The colony is probably one of Marius ' of 103 BC . Broughton dated the praetorship to 92 BC , with the quaestorship falling towards the beginning of the 90s BC . Brennan has dated the praetorship to the beginning of the decade .   Caesar died suddenly in 85 BC , in Rome , while putting on his shoes one morning . Another Caesar , possibly his father , had died similarly in Pisa . His father had seen to his education by one of the best orators of Rome , Marcus Antonius Gnipho . In his will , he left Caesar the bulk of his estate , but after Marius 's faction had been defeated in the civil war of the 80s BC , this inheritance was confiscated by the dictator Sulla .

He commanded troops with Brutus during the Battle of Philippi against the combined forces of Mark Antony and Octavian , Caesar 's former supporters , and committed suicide after being defeated by Mark Antony .   He was elected Tribune of the Plebs in 49 B.C. . He opposed Caesar , and he commanded a fleet against him during Caesar 's Civil War : after Caesar defeated Pompey in the Battle of Pharsalus , Caesar overtook Cassius and forced him to surrender . After Caesar 's death , Cassius fled to the East , where he amassed an army of twelve legions . He was supported and made Governor by the Senate . Though he and Brutus marched west against the allies of the Second Triumvirate , Cassius was defeated at the Battle of Phillippi and committed suicide .   He followed the teachings of the philosopher Epicurus , although scholars debate whether or not these beliefs affected his political life . Cassius is a main character in Shakespeare 's play Julius Caesar that depicts the assassination of Caesar and its aftermath . He is also shown in the lowest circle of Hell in Dante 's The Inferno as punishment for betraying and killing Caesar .

negative: Gaius Rabirius (senator) For others with the name , see Rabirius ( gens ) .   Gaius Rabirius was a Roman senator who was involved in the death of Lucius Appuleius Saturninus in 100 BC . Titus Labienus , a Tribune of the Plebs whose uncle had lost his life among the followers of Saturninus on that occasion , was urged by fellow Senator and patron Julius Caesar to accuse Rabirius of participating in the murder . Caesar 's real objective was to warn the Senate against interference by force with popular movements , to uphold the sovereignty of the people and the inviolability of the person of the tribunes , at the time of the conspiracy of Lucius Sergius Catilina . The obsolete accusation of perduellio was revived , and the case was heard before Caesar and his cousin Lucius Julius Caesar as commissioners specially appointed ( duumviri perduellionis ) . Rabirius was condemned , and the people , to whom the accused had exercised the right of appeal , were on the point of ratifying the decision , when Quintus Caecilius Metellus Celer pulled down the military flag from the Janiculum , which was equivalent to the dissolution of the assembly . Caesar 's object having been attained , the matter was then allowed to drop . The defense was taken by Marcus Tullius Cicero , consul at the time ; the speech is extant : Pro Rabirio reo perduellionis .   A nephew , Gaius Rabirius Postumus was also defended by Cicero .   Robert Harris included Rabirius 's trial in his book `` Lustrum ''

negative: Legislative assemblies of the Roman Republic The legislative assemblies of the Roman Republic were political institutions in the ancient Roman Republic . According to the contemporary historian Polybius , it was the people ( and thus the assemblies ) who had the final say regarding the election of magistrates , the enactment of Roman laws , the carrying out of capital punishment , the declaration of war and peace , and the creation ( or dissolution ) of alliances . Under the Constitution of the Roman Republic , the people ( and thus the assemblies ) held the ultimate source of sovereignty .   Since the Romans used a form of direct democracy , citizens , and not elected representatives , voted before each assembly . As such , the citizen-electors had no power , other than to cast a vote . Each assembly was presided over by a single Roman Magistrate , and as such , it was the presiding magistrate who made all decisions on matters of procedure and legality . Ultimately , the presiding magistrate 's power over the assembly was nearly absolute . The only check on that power came in the form of vetoes handed down by other magistrates .   In the Roman system of direct democracy , two primary types of gatherings were used to vote on legislative , electoral , and judicial matters . The first was the Assembly ( comitia ) , which was a gathering that was deemed to represent the entire Roman people , even if it did not contain all of the Roman citizens or , like the comitia curiata , excluded a particular class of Roman citizens ( the plebs ) . The second was the Council ( concilium ) , which was a gathering of citizens of a specific class . In contrast , the Convention was an unofficial forum for communication . Conventions were simply forums where Romans met for specific unofficial purposes , such as , for example , to hear a political speech . Voters always assembled first into Conventions to hear debates and conduct other business before voting , and then into Assemblies or Councils to actually vote .

negative: Roman assemblies The Roman Assemblies were institutions in ancient Rome . They functioned as the machinery of the Roman legislative branch , and thus ( theoretically at least ) passed all legislation . Since the assemblies operated on the basis of direct democracy , ordinary citizens , and not elected representatives , would cast all ballots . The assemblies were subject to strong checks on their power by the executive branch and by the Roman Senate . Laws were passed ( and magistrates elected ) by Curia ( in the Curiate Assembly ) , Tribes ( in the Tribal Assembly ) , and Centuries ( in the Centuriate Assembly ) .   When the city of Rome was founded ( traditionally dated at 753 BC ) , a senate and an assembly , the Curiate Assembly , were both created . The Curiate Assembly was the principal legislative assembly during the era of the Roman Kingdom . While its primary purpose was to elect new kings , it also possessed rudimentary legislative powers . Shortly after the founding of the Roman Republic ( traditionally dated to 509 BC ) , the principal legislative authority shifted to two new assemblies , the Tribal Assembly ( `` Citizen 's Assembly '' ) and the Centuriate Assembly . Eventually , most legislative powers were transferred to another assembly , the Plebeian Council ( `` Assembly of the Commoners '' ) . Ultimately , it was the Plebeian Council that disrupted the balance between the senate , the legislative branch , and the executive branch . This led to the collapse of the republic , and the founding of the Roman Empire in 27 BC . Under the empire , the powers that had been held by the assemblies were transferred to the senate . While the assemblies eventually lost their last semblance of political power , citizens continued to gather into them for organizational purposes . Eventually , however , the assemblies were ultimately abandoned .

negative: Quintus Marcius Rex (consul 118 BC) Quintus Marcius Rex was a member of the Marcii Reges , the family founded by the Roman King Ancus Marcius . His father Quintus Marcius Rex , the praetor in 144 BC , built the Aqua Marcia aqueduct , the longest aqueduct of ancient Rome . The aqueduct was known for its water purity and its cold temperature .   Marcius carried on war against the Stoeni , a Ligurian people at the foot of the Alps , and obtained a triumph in the following year on account of his victories over them . During his consulship in 118 BC , Marcius lost his only son , a youth of great promise , but had such mastery over his feelings as to meet the senate on the day of his son 's burial , and perform his regular official duties .   His sister Marcia married Gaius Julius Caesar II . They had a son Sextus Julius Caesar ( the consul in 91 BC , a politician and supporter of Gaius Marius ) ; a daughter Julia , wife of Gaius Marius and another son Gaius Julius Caesar III , a praetor who would marry Aurelia Cotta and would become parents to Julius Caesar the dictator .   Through his son , possibly named Quintus Marcius Rex due to Roman naming conventions , he had a grandson also named Quintus Marcius Rex , who was the consul in 68 BC . A descendant of Marcius is that consul of 56 BC , Lucius Marcius Philippus .

negative: Marcus Junius Brutus the Younger Marcus Junius Brutus ( -LSB- ˈbruːtəs -RSB- 85 BC -- 23 October 42 BC ) , often referred to as Brutus , was a politician of the late Roman Republic . After being adopted by his uncle he used the name Quintus Servilius Caepio Brutus , but eventually returned to using his original name . He took a leading role in the assassination of Julius Caesar .   Brutus was close to General Julius Caesar , the leader of the Populares faction . However , Caesar 's attempts to assume greater power for himself put him at greater odds with the Roman elite and members of the Senate . Brutus eventually came to oppose Caesar and fought with the Optimate faction , led by Pompey the Great , against Caesar 's forces in Caesar 's Civil War . Pompey was defeated at the Battle of Pharsalus in 48 B.C. , after which Brutus surrendered to Caesar , who granted him amnesty .   However , the underlying political tensions which led to the war had not been resolved . Due to Caesar 's increasingly monarchical behavior , several senators , calling themselves `` Liberators '' , plotted to assassinate him . They recruited Brutus , who took a leading role in the assassination , which was carried out successfully on March 15 , 44 B.C. . The Senate , at the request of the Consul Mark Antony , granted amnesty to the assassins . However , a populist uprising forced Brutus and his brother-in-law , fellow assassin Gaius Cassius Longinus , to leave the City of Rome . In 43 B.C. , Caesar 's grandnephew , Consul Gaius Octavian Caesar , immediately after taking office , passed a resolution declaring the conspirators , including Brutus , murderers . This led to the Liberators ' civil war , pitting the erstwhile supporters of Caesar , under the Second Triumvirate , wishing both to gain power for themselves and avenge his death , against those who opposed him . Octavian combined his troops with those of Antony , and together they decisively defeated the outnumbered armies of Brutus and Cassius at the Battle of Philippi in October 42 B.C. . After the battle , Brutus committed suicide .
