About this listen

 In the early hours of 19th May 1536, Archbishop Thomas Cranmer was woken with chilling news—his friend Alexander Alesius had dreamt of Anne Boleyn’s severed neck. He had no idea that Anne was due to be executed that very morning… In this moving video, we trace Anne Boleyn’s final hours: from her quiet early morning Mass and her careful choice of crimson and ermine attire, to her composed speech on the scaffold and the swift stroke of the Calais executioner's sword. We explore eyewitness accounts, the reactions of those present, and the shocking speed with which Henry VIII moved on—issuing a marriage dispensation for Jane Seymour on the very day Anne was buried. Anne Boleyn’s fall was fast and brutal, yet her legacy lived on in her daughter, Elizabeth I—England’s Gloriana. Watch now to witness the last moments of one of history’s most compelling queens. #AnneBoleyn #TudorHistory #OnThisDay #HenryVIII #ElizabethI #TudorQueens #AnneBoleynExecution #TudorDynasty #BritishHistory #RoyalHistory
