- This video is about Anne Askew, the Tudor woman who was illegally stretched on the rack in the Tower of London until her tendons snapped. Kevin Hicks explores who Anne Askew was, and what series of events led her to be tortured and then burned at the stake in 1546. Anne Askew was one of only two women to have been tortured at the Tower of London.

She'll never know, but the fact people are talking about her centuries later speaks to her bravery!
Definitely one of the many few who will continue to be remembered achieving what humanity is all about 💖
Amen, ancient politics could be cruel. We are humans, we live together in this world, why can't we love one another, and give our Lord praise? Richard Dwayne Rumpff, Celina, Ohio USA.
The brutality of humanity absolutely stuns me. Rip Anne.
Can’t even imagine the pain she felt after all that, yet stayed loyal and strong to not spill anything! Incredible woman.
If youve ever dislocated your joint youll know, i describe that pain as screaming numbness, its worse than standard pain.
@@johnb1150Dislocated my knee once, I'd rather cut off my finger or something than go through that again
HUGE respect for this brave woman. I can't even imagine the pain and suffering she went through. A better and stronger person than me.
She was one heck of a woman. Bravery beyond understanding. Well done and God bless you Anne.
What disgusting cowards to do this to anyone, let alone an innocent women.
This is one woman's story that deserves to be told and often. If our history is forgotten, then how can we learn from it?
Indeed...
People don't know history of the last 20 years. Forget anything older than that.
Why would anyone care
By using critical thinking...... Come on now....
@@RighteousnessWillPrevail Have you paid much attention over the last 20 years? Critical thinking doesn't work when the baseline for 95% of the population is imbecile.
Mankind is so horrendous to each other. This young woman was persecuted and tortured without good reason. Yet she clung to her faith and endured without betraying anyone or herself. How unique and strong she was. A historical recount that while disturbing is very notable.
There was a good reason. Rewatch the video.
She had faith, that's enough reason.
She had faith, and god didn’t save her
Young intelligent educated independent woman, who didn't need a husband, and who has influence. Manosphere dislikes. Take a look at Taylor Swift.
@@noldo3837Doesn’t Taylor swift rely on her dad for all her business dealings? He sounds like a good man looking out for his daughter
A country that forgets its past deserves no future. Thank you for reminding people of the dreadful oppression of the Tudor era.
Thank you for telling her story. She deserves to be remembered.
.... Not dismembered, ho ho ho.
Is she the reason we say things like "his limbs were askew?" Never heard this. Thank thee for learning me something new this day. As always ,great work, Mr Hicks.
My plans for the day
went askew.
Yup, her name lives
In our lexicon.
Brave woman!
I hope there is a hell for those who brutalized poor Anne. How horrible this story is but you told it with great compassion. Thank you.
That's the thing. There is no heaven or hell.
@@modelrailwaynoobSource: “Trust me.”
@@seanhillery1231 That's the usual god squad response instead of proof
@@modelrailwaynoob so, if you can’t experience something, that means it doesn’t exist? Just using logic.
@@seanhillery1231 That isn't logic. It's false hope. Relgions are known as faiths for a reason. Blind faith.
you do her a service by remembering what she did and how she died. Thank you for the history.
How could she be so brave? Sometimes when I’m struggling in life I think of Anna Askew and it gives me courage
She was a christian. When a person gives their life to Christ and believes on Him, then they are adopted into Gods family. They belong to Him and that person gets everything they need from the Lord, including strength and courage. There are many stories of Christians enduring terrible things, even in the last hundred years.
@@myanchor None of what you describe is bravery.
@@myanchor And in the end its only the abyss
You are a MARVELOUS story teller! I'm so pleased to have discovered you. Thank you for introducing us to Anne Askew. What a heroic human being ....
This was extremely interesting to me. My father actually did our family's genealogy and discovered that we are related to Anne Askew. I thought she was executed because she was a witch. But a heretic is not exactly the same as a witch. Thank you for enlightening me.
What a minger.
Please, no disrespect but an honest question…
Is the surname Askew the same name as Eschew?
@@magdatorruellas9122 No, it's not. Askew as a word means tilted or slightly off. Eschew as a word means to avoid or shun.
@@spankyjeffro5320 Thank you
Being a heretic can easily get you accused of being a witch so it could be both or possibly interchangeably used.
Wow, incredible. The Portuguese Catholics used this method of torture in the Goa inquisition too. It sounded horrific.
Thank you for telling Anne Askew’s story. She was so incredibly brave, so much so that she redefines it. She was truly a one of a kind. R.I.P. Anne Askew
This brave woman deserves be remember! R I P dear Anne! I,LL remember her!!!❤️❤️❤️
She was ripped lmaoool lol 😆
She does more than "rest in peace"...she rejoices in the arms of her precious Saviour ( which is the promise to anyone who trusts in the finished work of Jesus on the cross)!
This is why systems must be in place which prevent evil from perpetrating this kind of horror. When systems break down, evil will seize the opportunity to slither through the cracks and do these kinds of dreadful things.
@@cottage_pie lol
The horrendous torture of Anne Askew is unspeakable. How she stuck to her guns and would not give in is truly incredible. It's almost impossible to comprehend such courage in the face of such horror!. And she was not the only one. Many others of similar conviction were tortured in Britain but sadly their stories have been lost over the years. These unbelievably wicked acts should never be forgotten. There are very old books such as Foxe's Book Of Martyrs which contains many such accounts including the story of Anne Askew.
I've talked with a few Catholics who absolutely reject Foxe's Book of Martyrs. They say it is nothing but Protestant propaganda.
The reality is much darker for both sides. William of Orange literally waited for his opponents to ship all the women and children to an island for safekeeping. As soon and the Catholics were back on shore William’s men boarded boats and rowed to the island and slaughtered every infirm man, woman and child there. None were left alive. To this day it is celebrated by the Orange Order as they march.
@@Dr.Pepper001 of course it is! Wouldn't be a good story if she had talked and begged and screamed for mercy, as she almost surely did. No one survived the rack without breaking.
@@Dr.Pepper001 Foxe’s book of martyrs is true! Just bcz catholics say it is propaganda is hog wash! Martin Luther fought against those rascals just to give us all the chance to read the Bible for ourselves! Instead of the church trying to tell us their version. The early christians WERE indeed tortured for their faith much like this poor woman was. That is TRUTH! Not propaganda! I feel awful they suffered but now they are in the hands of the Lord & comforted forever more!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼😬 🙏🏼
Ps. Wether they cried & screamed or told all. They WERE martyred & endured terrible torture. Truth!

What a woman.
I wonder how she would have felt to know in life that so many people would still hear about her commitment and sacrifice all these years later?
Jesus, poor Lady. That torture sounds terrible.
Thank you for sharing. I now have much respect for Anne Askew x
Thanks for the video. My family is descended from Askew. Her story is very important to us so thanks for sharing it. She is an incredible woman no matter where you land on religious beliefs. She was a woman of strength and principle.

You should definitely sue!

I'm not in the least religious, but I do admire Ann for her devotion to her faith and incredible bravery. She is a woman whose sacrifice should never be forgotten.
Indeed. She wasn't only defending her religion, but in many ways, she indirectly stood up for the right to freedom of expression.

That's wonderful to not be religious
Terrifying and heartbreaking how people could be so cruel. That poor lady!
She is incredible. The world knows nothing close to a woman's pure strength. Thank you for including women's history, we are often "left out" and forgotten on purpose in order to make us believe tht our ancestor's were not strong!
Poor Anne Askew!! She was VERY cruelly treated!! She was also a VERY courageous woman!! Thanks for telling her story!! XXXX 👍💖
No problem, it deserved to be told 👍🏻
You know the telling of a horrific story like this is done well when you feel miserable afterwards. Fantastic video, as always. Thank you.
Her story is quite similar to Saint Apollonia the young martyr who refused to renounce her faith and so they broke all her teeth with rocks or pulled them out (depending on accounts) and threatened to rape and torture her and so she jumped into a fire pit. She was just a teenager. Apollonia is now the saint of dentistry worldwide.
Wow-what a Lady!! This is really the first I’ve heard of her-such a heartbreaking story. I just can’t begin to imagine the pain she endured.
I love stories about brave and courageous women. Anne is a saint. And I will look to learn more about her. Thank you for telling this story. People who suffer for their faith deserve recognition.
Absolutely 👍🏻
@@thehistorysquad You know they didnt follow Henry 8th succession law so every monarch after him is illegal?
I'd heard of her and her fate before but it lacked definition and detail! You drought color and personality to her, in a way, justice that she never got in life. Had she had latitude to continue her life, who knows what advancements she could have brought to English literature and culture. Thank you for that Kevin and History Squad!
Thanks Phillip, that was something foremost in my mind when I was telling the story.....who knows what we lost in this woman. 👍🏻

What a remarkable woman! Also, love the story-telling. You are a master in your craft, sir.
Thank you 👍🏻
Several years ago, there was an exhibition going around Europe which featured medieval instruments of torture. My teen kids and wanted to see it so I took them. Big mistake! It was one of the most horrible things I ever saw. The thought that human beings spent so much time, effort and imagination on instruments to hurt, maim and torture their fellow humans is mind boggling. It preyed in my mind for months and I devoutly wished I had never seen it.
We all have that shadow in us. This is what malice humans are capable of and we all have that potential. It’s balanced by the light in all of us and is seen in those who win over the inner shadow. The only way to actively avoid being the worst of humanity is to recognize that you CAN be the worst of humanity.
So cruel and evil eh??
Henry was a dreadful hypocrite. Imagine a man who misapplied scripture to try to get a divorce, routinely committed adultery, probably used his power to coerce women into sex actually placing himself as the religious head/conscience of a nation. I know of Anne's story. Her story is inspirational to anyone of faith and just women generally. Thank you for sharing this
Henry founded the Church of England after not getting an annulment sanctioned by the Catholic church and Pope. He stopped at nothing to get his way.
She was a nutter.
Henry VIII vies with Oliver Cromwell for the title of biggest @$&%!*! in English history.
@@colinslant Maybe, but as King of England he could do as he pleases, and nobody can do anything about it. And nobody would dare to tell him he was an arse.
Don’t worry he’ll be residing in hell with the rest of ‘em for his crimes against humanity 😠
It is difficult for me to imagine that a woman could have been subjected to such a severe kind of punishment, despite the fact that I am aware that such forms of torture were frequent throughout that time period.
I use ‘artfuldodger’ as one of my acronyms! It’s the first time I’ve seen it as somebody’s tag. 🙂
I've just stumbled upon your channel and I am HOOKED! Tudor history is a passion of mine and I know these stories well but how wonderful it is to listen to the way you tell them! You're a great storyteller and presenter. Lots of love from New Zealand.
Hi Jess, thank you and welcome to the channel. I have a distant cousin in New Zealand 👍🏻
It’s always a pleasure to hear historical events no matter how unpleasant.
What a courageous woman, I admire her faith. She is inspirational. Thank you for telling her story.
I wonder how many of us Christians today would remain faithful unto death under similar circumstances.”Lord I want to be a Christian in my heart.” … Do we “Stand up, stand up for Jesus, we soldiers of the Lord!”? Every day?
The craziest part of this story is that there was a guy Named Richard Rich
😂😂😂😂you made my day🎉
Richy Rich’s dark past.
I heard he was the worst of them all.
Richard Rich appears in so many historical records from this period. Pick up any book on the Tudors fact or fiction, he’s there.
I remember, he used to hang out with Count de Mone'
When I toured the White Tower, we ventured to the basement to see the displays. I’m not really a believer in ghosts, but I had to leave in a hurry. I could feel the pain in that space. It was incredible to me. Crushing overwhelming fear and pain.
From what I understand Deanna, you're not alone in experiencing that. 👍🏻
She was a very well educated woman, and she held her own - despite horrific conditions - while being questioned directly by Stephen Gardiner (shudder) who wanted to use Anne to get to and execute Queen Katherine Parr who was a Protestant. I wrote a paper on Askew years ago, and I loved her courage and poise in her testimony. Fortunately for Katherine H8 was too ill and died too soon for Gardiner’s vile fantasies to be carried out, and young Prince Edward was a thorough Protestant and wanted none of Gardiner’s vicious Catholic persecutions of Protestants.
Gory stuff, I have a tendon injury in my leg at the moment and in agony so what that poor lady went through is unimaginable.
Our ancestors really were callous butchers.
Hope you heal soon 👍🏻
Feel better
Don't disparage your ancestors. You don't know what they've done, not good to forsake the people who've struggled to get you to where you are. I'm proud of my ancestors, and I thank them for their sacrifices. I don't think they had any doings like this.
@@thehistorysquad on that note of horrendous tortures, could you clarify if Edward 1st men when in Scotland, flayed the Scottish lairds and members of their families and tacked their skins to the doors of their castles. It seems such a truly gruesome sickening thing to do to someone
@@Indyghurl I've never heard of that, so I'm afraid I can't comment, sorry.
I have a genetic disorder called Ehlers Danslo Syndrome, basically my connective tissue doesn't function as it should. My joints are very prone to dislocating. You are absolutely spot on with your descriptions of what it would have been liked for Anne to have her tendons torn thus causing her joints to dislocate and the unbearable pain she would have been in. My joints are unstable because of the genetic defect of my tendons, ligaments and muscles which allows my joints to slide around uncontrollably. There are days that I can't function because of the pain I am in. Anne's hips and spine would have also been affected by the damage done to her tendons and ligaments as they stretched her by her wrists and ankles as they tortured her on the rack. This have been the reason the accounts described her as being in agony and in so much pain as she was jostled about on the chair she was chained to as she was carried to the stake. She was incredibly brave to not have confess under such conditions as she was tortured on the rack. Great research!!
Thank you for a lovely comment Denise and your own personal insight.
I have a similar condition to EDS, also a connective tissue disorder, so I dislocate my joints like you. Multiple dislocations in a single limb in one hit is excruciating!! It's bad enough with one joint... any more than that is always awful. Thinking of that happening in every limb at once? Bloody terrifying. You're right, it would have been hips and spine, almost definitely ribs from the muscles being pulled out of place. I'd wager her entire pelvis would have dislocated from the SIJ, and both hips. I dislocate my SIJ, and when it's flared up really badly, sitting upright on anything is basically impossible. I can sit on a kitchen table chair and last about five minutes max before it gets too painful. If I'm in the car, every single bump sends pain shooting up my spine and down both legs. No wonder the poor lady screamed so badly at every jolt. It's likely her bones wouldn't have gone back in properly (since she would have basically been a bag of jelly afterwards) so she probably had nerve impingements and stuff too. I don't know how the human body could continue going for any length of time after being put on the rack. Death would be a mercy.
2:05 Hi Denise, I am the father of a 35 year old daughter with EDS and other conditions….maybe we can talk?….Pete
@@petefisher9074 I'm happy to talk if you want, Pete. I'm only a few years younger than her. My condition is pretty much the same as EDS, it just affects a different gene.
@@belindaf8821 Hi, many thanks for reply. I not very techno minded, perhaps we could talk privately?
Fabulous. So well presented and engaging. The story of Ann Askew has haunted me ever since I heard of her. What a woman indeed.
I had not heard this story before....and I'm so glad I heard it from this gentleman! I have some catching up to do!! Thank You!
A most piteous, heart-breaking tale. 😭🙏 R.I.P. Anne. As a historian friend of mine once said: "If h8 isn't in hell, it is empty."
As the spectrum early modern European potentates goes, I’d almost put him on the more benevolent end - low as the bar is.
If Hell were real, H8 and Hitler would be there patiently waiting for Donald Trump to join them. Alas, I fear the only Hell that is real is right here on Earth.
@@skwalka6372 Maybe not patiently waiting in a lake of fire, but Drumpf will be joining them...aye. He's been trying real hard to make the list.
@@skwalka6372 If the judgement scales of good and evil in the afterlife are the same as those used on earth by the left, then heaven is full of atheist humanitarian lefties, and hell is full of conservative Christians.
@@YorkistRaven Imagine comparing Trump to Hitler.
He lives in your mind rent free.
How she didn’t die from the stretching is beyond me.

Thanks for subbing! Welcome to the channel 👍🏻
The braveness, courage and Integrity of this woman swells my heart and brings tears to my eyes. When you name honor say the name Anne Askew. Thank you Kevin, you keep the flame of history burning.
This sad report on a remarkable young woman was so empathically delivered. Thank you.
I can’t imagine how horrific that would be.
This was the first video I saw on your channel. Absolutely beautiful, clear and precise narration. Subscribed.
Thanks so much! I hope you've been enjoying some of my other videos 👍🏻
Thank you very much for telling the Tragically cruel story of poor Anne Askew, what that young woman went through was truly barbaric. You told her story with great empathy and made listening to her story very interesting.
I've dislocated my elbow and my tendons stretched and tore slightly. It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced and I've had an operation where they didn't give me enough local anaesthetic before they started cutting. This poor woman. Unbelievable.
This man deserves every view he gets.. I just found one of his videos and I loved it. I was recommend this video while watching videos on concrete lmao
Haha, concrete?? The YT algorithm really is a mystery, but hey it seems to have worked in this instance. Welcome to the channel 👍🏻
Just found your channel, I love history stories and the details with it so thanks for this one. I’ll be coming back for sure
Cheers John, welcome 👍🏻
My hats off to you. Such a dark topic and yet you found such an eloquent way to relive the tail without getting into the details that that would be fodder for nightmares tonight. I also appreciate that you presented all the relevant versions as each departure offers an interesting way to imagine the story going. Thank you as always and I really appreciate this channel as those that do not understand history are doomed to repeat it right?
Thanks Aaron and yes, that's for sure 👍🏻
I remember her from watching "The Tudors." Such a gruesome and painful experience! I can't imagine the agony she went through in her last moments of life.
Was she the one who was given the gunpowder before being burned?
@@lexb1075 Yes
Wow, I remembered going through a museum and seeing the torture pieces back then but not the stories. Amazing what this lady went through thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this!
You are an excellent storyteller. Proving once again what a horrible tyrant Henry viii truly was!
_The ultimate dictator: neither a devout Catholic, nor an obsessive Protestant - yet both!_
And the church
Not just Henry viii but England as a whole, with its colonialism , enslaving and murdering thousands. Don't just blame a king blame the whole evil empire.
England was the first country to stand against slavery. Plus all country's are guilty
@@huntermcclovio4517
And just about every other country in the world at that time.
We can't judge the events of the past through the prism of today, but this was brutal.
I think even through their prism it was barbaric but they had the power to do so anyway and do the same to any ho publicly disapproved
Sometimes I would agree with you, but in this case they knew it wasn't right even back then, and that is why they had to do it illegally. Although I would say even if it had been legally it would be immoral.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Man that was a tough one to hear, I could literally feel that description of her torture!!!! Incredible to think of how brutal those times actually were. Great story telling as always Kev!!!
Cheers 👍🏻
@@thehistorysquad
So People think Anne went through alot.
They have alot to learn mate.
The Catholic tortured and killed Tens of thousands of peoole in medieval Europe for interpretating Christianity in a slightly different way.
The Catholics also burnt people at the stake for trying to translate the Bible into English.
Research the various torture devices that the Catholics invented and your eyes will be opened mate as to the horrors of Catholic Church.
People have alot to learn when it comes to medieval history.
You could teach them geezer.
I actually let this video sit for a couple of weeks, because I knew you would tell us more than mere lurid events, because I knew that you would humanize this very real person. It was still painful to watch, not merely because of the suffering inflicted on this woman, but because of the sheer injustice of it. May Anne Askew rest in peace. =-[.]-=
Thanks for braving it 👍🏻
@Raycheetah Me too!! It kept popping up in my recommendations but I had to gear myself up to watch it 👍
Love the presentation and delivery. Fascinating subject as well. New subscriber!
Thanks Heather, welcome to the channel!
Thanks for sharing this poor dear Anne
You are so welcome
What that poor girl must have gone through, lesser people would have revealed everything, Anne must have been so fearless 🤘🏹
Her faith was true and deep.
It is of course possible that she wasn’t part of any conspiracy and therefore genuinely had no co-conspirators to name.
You make it sound like she had a choice .
What a sad story of treatment of her. I cannot help but believe that people who carried out these tortures, could not know that even if they got the result they desired, that the information would have been given under duress, simply as a means to get the torture to stop. Anne had to have been a very brave and forthright woman. I have to wonder if her torturers would have withstood what she did had they undergone "interrogation".
Thanks for respectfully telling Anne’s story
What a great story!!! I absolutely love the way you tell it.
I only can imagine in my wildest, most horrific nightmares the insurmountable pain and cruel suffering this woman endured 😢
I got a ruptured disk in my L5 and S1 region located in the vertebrae-lumbar region- caused spinal stenosis and my spinal cord was pinched causing me so much pain that I writhed, screamed and groaned in unforgettable pain I even pleaded for God to take me: I bet that courageous woman Askew suffered much, much more…. Rest in peace beautiful Anne ❤
Had a similar injury to you. Except apparently I broke my back 10yrs before (no idea how!). Anyway, 10yrs later I had two abscesses grow out of my broken spine, which pinched my nerves. I remember screaming in agony and wishing to die. It was like being electrocuted. I'd twist and collapse... Almost killed by doctors because they misdiagnosed me with sciatica - for three months! Now my lower 3 lumbar are fused and am in pain often... And they won't give me disability benefits. Bastards!
@@nickthelickYet they give “illegal” immigrants everything 😡😡😡
What we did enjoy, was hearing of her absolute bravery, fortitude and resolve! Most worthy of martyrdom!❤
Well, I can’t say I enjoyed learning the history of Anne Askew, it certainly is heartbreaking that she was so persecuted and tortured, but I am very grateful for the example she demonstrated in refusing to surrender her faith in God. Her courage is is most inspiring. May she rest In Heavenly Peace.
Great job fascinating our history, thank you 👍

@@spankyjeffro5320 Up to a point, but what about the atrocities committed by atheist regimes? I'm looking at you Josef Stalin, Mao Tse Tung and others.
A better question is , "Why was (is) the Catholic Church so evil?"
@@promerops What atheist regimes? Totalitarian regimes. 🙄
I always enjoy watching your videos. 😊
What a legend, I'm not even protestant and I admire her. I wish I had a fragment of her strength and resilience
There is also the case of Margaret Clitherow a citizen of York, and a Catholic. She had heard Mass in her house and concealed Priests, an offence for which the punishment was death. When she was charged, she refused to plead, since if the matter came to trial, her family could be tortured to make them give evidence. Despite being pregnant with her fourth child, she was crushed to death beneath a door which was slowly loaded with heavy weights. It is said she lasted 15 minutes before she died. This was in 1586. In 1929 she was made a Saint, one of the Forty Martyrs of the Reformation.
Absolutely horrendous yes, she's also on my list. Thanks Michael 👍🏻
Another reason to not enter a plea was so that your property could not be seized. That's why Giles Corey in Salem refused to enter a plea during the witch trials, if he had said guilty or not guilty his property would have been taken from him, while dying without entering a plea means his heirs keep his property
So, according to the custom of the time, he was pressed to attempt to extract a plea from him. Several days he lay under an enormous pile of weight until he died, but his family kept his property due to his refusal
What a sad but amazing story. WHAT a woman. Thank you Mr. Hicks and The History Squad!
You're most welcome 👍🏻
Incredible cruelty...with a human being...may She rest in peace...🙏🙏
You are a great storyteller of history. Sometimes it’s pleasant but all to often it’s not. Thank you for sharing our history.
Terrible that humans are so evil to each other and cause such pain just because they don’t agree about something….a sad story indeed.
No change there . Now they are called politicians
or are totally insecure.
The tender mercies of the religion of love and peace.
Wow, I had never heard of her before. What an absolutely incredible woman!
First time for .me too

Glad to hear it 👍🏻
A person I've never heard of, thank you for enlightening me. Please keep it up.

Very informative. Thank you.
A Story tragedy ,courage and conviction .
Been watching your videos for a while now, love this channel! I know it will continue to grow!! Thanks for always sharing amazing English history with all of us!
I’ve got a family member I tracked who was executed for high treason around 1477, very similar fashion to all of these but he was drawn and quartered. He was a Yorkist serving the Duke of Clarence (Edward IV’s brother). I can fill you in more on it if you’re interested!
Cheers Conrad. You are so welcome!
I stumbled upon your video as I was doing research for a Renaissance literature reading. Thank you so much for this video, though it was hard to digest. I now feel well equipped to go into my reading not just with knowledge but a much higher appreciation of the text.
Glad it was helpful!
Thankyou for this
thank you for retelling her story, may God bless her and keep her.
Thank you for another bit of insightful history. Makes you kind of wonder when folks say, “the good old days."
I became familiar with her when I watched “ The Tudors” mini-series and I found her to be the most impressive human being in the entire series ( but I know that’s not saying much .)
My daughter has stumbled across your topic inside and thought I should comment. My grandmother had original paintings of Anne & her husband, one of just anne & other paintings 2 children playing in a field, I was told it was Anne's children. The painter was French, another was Italian. When I was a young man, I would go on these trips with my grandmother. As she was moving these paintings from place to place. My grandmother would guard these paintings with her life.
There was only a select few that was allowed to see the paintings
Along With security and trust, obviously. My grandmother has since passed and these paintings remain in my custody Along with the rules of my grandmother.
I have heard alot of stories of anne & her family. My grandmother joined the Royal navy at 17. Then after that, she worked for Queen Elizabeth. 2 years before my grandmother's passing. She received a letter from the Queen asking about her Well-being the letter was hand delivered & he waited for a response letter. Both passed just months apart. Thank you for telling the history.
A great video as always Kevin. Such a sad story of a very brave Lady.
Another incredible video. Thank you so much for what you do!
My pleasure!
