#HenryPercy wrote to #ThomasCromwell denying a pre-contract with the doomed #AnneBoleyn

When his unhappy wife #MaryTalbot had used this to obtain a divorce she would have no clue as to the damming piece of evidence it would become

Following her trial #AnneBoleyn’s confession was heard by #ThomasCranmer Archbishop of Canterbury
She is reported to have said to Kingston she was in hope of her life despite her sentence the previous day
Was there a discussion with Cranmer that gave her hope?

#GeorgeBoleyn was executed followed by #HenryNorris #FrancisWeston #WilliamBrereton & #MarkSmeaton the only one to plead guilty
It is impossible to imagine witnessing such an abhorrent spectacle knowing you're next!
Yet all spoke eloquently prior to their end

#AnneBoleyn was due to be executed

A delay meant she had to endure another night in anticipation
She responded when Kingston assured her the end would be painless
“I have heard say the executioner is very good, & I have a little neck”

#HenryVIII & #AnneBoleyn's marriage was declared null & void, denying her dying as Queen, making Elizabeth illegitimate

Spending her day in prayer believing it to be her last but her execution was delayed

Her immense strength & composure is to be admired
