Anne Boleyn was executed for adultery.
Here's the wiki entry on Tom & Katherine Howard (& Lady Rochford)
Culpeper was executed ...at Tyburn on 10 December 1541, and (his) head put on display on London Bridge. Culpeper was buried at St Sepulchre-without-Newgate Church in London. The Queen, Katherine Howard, and Lady Jane Rochford were both subsequently executed on 13 February 1542.
