May 19, 1536 - Anne Boleyn is Beheaded

"Good Christian people, I have come here 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 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.' And then she knelt down, saying, 'To Christ I commend my soul, Jesu receive my soul', divers times, till that her head was stricken off with the sword.” - Anne's execution, as reported in Hall's Chronicle (1548)

""On a scaffold made there for the said execution, the said Queen Anne said thus: 'Masters, I here humbly submit me to the law, as the law hath judged me. And as for mine offenses, I here accuse no man; God knoweth them. I remit them to God, beseeching him to have mercy on my soul. And I beseech Jesu, save my sovereign and master, the King - the most godly, noble, and gentle prince that is, and long to reign over you.' Which words were spoken with a goodly smiling countenance. And this done, she knelt down on her knees and said: "To Jesu Christ, I commend my soul'. And suddenly, the hangman smote off her head at a stroke with a sword." - Anne's execution, as reported in Wriothesley's Chronicle (1559)

"And so she went to the place of her ordeal

To obey the will of justice,

Still showing a serene countenance,

As if she did not grieve for this world in any way;

For her coloring and face were such

That never before did she seem so beautiful ...

There was no one who does not have firm hope

That her spirit will not be in agony,

Given her great faith and wise patience,

Which rose above womanly courage.

Everyone, on the basis of her mightily steady end,

Judges her life to have been prudent

And believes they have committed a great offense

In having thought so ill of her." - Lancelot de Carle's The Story of the Fall of Anne Boleyn (1536, trans. Joann Dellaneva)

"Anne, the late Queen, suffered with sword this day within the Tower upon a new scaffold and died boldly. Jesu take them [i.e. Anne and the five men] to His mercy if it be His will." - John Husee to Lord Lisle, May 19, 1536

In 1558, however, the miracle happened. On Monday, 28 November, to the cheers of the London crowd and the roar of the Tower artillery, Elizabeth came through the gates to take possession of the fortress as queen - Elizabeth, the bastardized daughter of the disgraced Anne Boleyn, with her father’s complexion but her mother’s face. Is it fanciful to feel that after twenty years, the mother in the nearby grave in the chapel of St Peter was at last vindicated? - ERIC IVES

𓅃 ANNE BOLEYN APPRECIATION WEEK 𓅃

Day Six — Favourite Romantic Dynamic: Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII, King of England What could attract Henry to Anne? Was it her beauty? From the contemporary accounts we know, that Anne Boleyn was not considered as beautiful for her time, but still she had ‘something’ that drew attention. Was it beauty from the inside? Maybe her sharp intelligence and political acumen? Surely Anne was not afraid to speak out her opinions about many things, and this makes her different than other women who simply listened to what men had to say. Anne Boleyn was a woman before her time – she dared to reach for something that other women would only dream about. Henry VIII knew that Anne was an extraordinary woman and that she was a perfect match for him because they were similar in many ways. — Sylwia Sobczak Zupanec

“…eyes always most attractive Which she knew well how to use with effect, Sometimes leaving them at rest, And at others, sending a message To carry the secret witness of the heart. And truth to tell, such was their power That many surrendered to their obedience.” -Lancelot de Carles

“Those eyes of yours are like dark hooks for the soul.” -Thomas Boleyn, The Tudors season 1, episode 2

Amy James-Kelly as Anne Boleyn in Blood, Sex and Royalty (2022)

[fabledenigma]

In the Source Link, you will find a complete gif pack of Amy James-Kelly in Blood, Sex and Royalty: Anne Boleyn Part 1. Amy plays the role of Anne Boleyn over the course of her late teens to the end of her life.

Anne Boleyn was the mother of Queen Elizabeth I in Tudor history, she was also part of the reason for the creation of The Church of England by King Henry VIII. Anne Boleyn was the second of six wives to Henry VIII. Her older sister had been one of many mistresses of Henry and Anne refused to allow herself to become another throwaway mistress. As such Henry began to pursue an annulment from his first wife, which was declined and so, Henry and his advisors began to breakdown the rule of the Catholic Church in England, and Henry took control of the Church of England. Anne was later charged with incest, treason and adultery and was beheaded on Tower Hill, London Tower on Friday 19th May 1536, a little under the 3rd anniversary of her crowning. Anne was also the maternal cousin of Catherine Howard, the fifth wife of Henry VIII, and coincidently, Catherine was also found guilty of adultery and was beheaded like her cousin.

Anne Boleyn Week 2024

Day 3: Favorite Historical Fact: Anne's involvement in the English Reformation

"What a zealous defender she was of Christ's gospel all the world doth know, and her acts do and will declare to the world's end." - John Foxe in Acts and Monuments (1563)

"Her formative years had impressed upon her what forthright and determined women could achieve. She stood her ground for what she believed in, and her devotion to ideas, especially religious ones, meant she was bound to prove divisive in the aggressively masculine environment of Henry’s court. She was a keen judge of men, appreciating the impetus for change which eager young evangelicals could exert, and was protective and encouraging towards them." - John Guy and Julia Fox in Hunting the Falcon (2023)

"Brief though Anne's influence was, it was a thousand days of support for reform from the throne itself. And hindsight can say more. The breach in the dyke of tradition which she encouraged and protected made the flood first of reformed, and later of more specifically Protestant Christianity, unstoppable. Catholic hatred of Anne damned her for the break with Rome and for the entrance of heresy into England. It was right on both counts." - Eric Ives in The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn (2004)
