Henry the VIII Jousting Accident

In 1536, Henry the VIII suffered a major injury to his leg in a jousting accident. Some historians have supposed that the reason for Henry’s erratic behavior and subsequent beheading of Anne Boleyn may have been due to some head trauma he suffered during the jousting match, in addition to the leg injury. This may have caused some mental issues due to swelling in the brain or trauma suffered to certain areas that control mood and temper. Without this jousting accident, would Henry the VIII still have beheaded Anne Boleyn and married Jane Seymour?
