Planning the murder of Anne Boleyn

Planning the murder of Anne Boleyn

Caroline Angus

Book - 2024

"Anne Boleyn's reputation has withstood historical attempts to tarnish it. Centuries of misinformation surround her conviction for adultery with five men. However, the original trial records were destroyed a month after her execution, leaving gaps in understanding her downfall. King Henry VIII's infatuation with Jane Seymour began in December 1535, but Anne's demise was driven by Catholic nobility and Princess Mary's supporters seeking to restore Mary to the throne. Thomas Cromwell's enemies sought his cooperation, and his public argument with King Henry at a dinner party suggests underlying tensions. The motivations behind Anne's execution lie in the connections and alliances between key figures, includin...g Cromwell, Chapuys and the Catholic nobility. Anne's security as queen was short-lived, as her adversary Katharine of Aragon's death sealed her fate" --
