As well as absorbing the best education Europe could offer, Anne learned by observation, and learned quickly. People’s memories of Anne as she was after some months at Mechelen were still vivid twenty years later - intelligent, self-possessed, wide awake, rapidly coming to grips with the French language and with the sophistication of European courts: ‘la Boullant, who at an early age had come to court, listened carefully to honourable ladies, setting herself to bend all her endeavour to imitate them to perfection, and made such good use of her wits that in no time at all she had command of the language.’

OTD in 1536, Queen Anne Boleyn was unjustly beheaded in the Tower of London on the orders of her husband, Henry VIII. To commemorate her life and death, I've written a post on my blog. I hope you check it out:

Good Christian people, […] I am come hither to die, for according to the law, and by the law I am judged to die, and therefore I will speak nothing against it. I am come hither to accuse no man, nor to speak anything of that, whereof I am accused and condemned to die, but I pray God save the king and send him long to reign over you, for a gentler nor a more merciful prince was there never: and to me he was ever a good, a gentle and sovereign lord. And if any person will meddle of my cause, I require them to judge the best. And thus I take my leave of the world and of you all, and I heartily desire you all to pray for me. O Lord have mercy on me, to God I commend my soul. - Foxe, John (1838). Cattley, S. R. (ed.). The Acts and Monuments of John Foxe. Vol. V.

THE DEATH DAY OF ANNE BOLEYN (May 19, 1536) "On the day of Anne Boleyn’s death, Archbishop Cranmer declared: ‘She who has been the Queen of England upon earth will today become a Queen in heaven.’" — Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth I, The Mother and Daughter Who Changed British History, Tracy Borman (2023)

“She had been discarded by the man who had pursued her for six years and fathered her daughter. The person she was closest to in the world–her brother–had been executed on the most hideous charges. The rest of her family had abandoned her. Still recovering from a miscarriage, her body and mind undoubtedly assaulted by hormonal changes, she had been sent to prison on absurd, concocted charges and “cared for” by women who were hostile spies. She knew she would never see her daughter again. She had been given reason to hope that she would be allowed to live, only to have those hopes crushed at her sentencing. In a sense, she had already been through dozens of dyings. Nothing was left but the withered skin of her old life, which she was ready to shed.” - Susan Bordo, ♕ The Creation of Anne Boleyn

These bloody days have broken my heart. My lust, my youth did them depart, And blind desire of estate. Who hastes to climb seeks to revert... ...For sure, circa Regna tonat.

But he never forgot. He took with him the shining memory of a laughing girl—brilliant curls dressed with diamonds, white gown crusted with gems spilling over the arms of her chair. And whenever at dinner someone raised his tankard and said reverently: 'Gentlemen—the Queen,' he saw that image in his mind, untarnished by time.
