This has always been what fascinated me the most about Anne as well. People always talk about the machinations around her rise or downfall, but almost never about the psychological torture she was forced to endure. This was more or less a slow death that lasted 18 days, it neither struck her too fast for her to not know what was happening, nor was she lucky enough to have her awareness impaired as if with complications in a terminal patient. It lasted 18 days, and she had to fully endure every second of it, knowing her loved ones were going through the same.
Mark Smeaton last words were quoted in one account (sorry can't be more specific) as "I have deserved the death"; I speculate this was his way of saying he'd "confessed" to sleeping with the Queen to avoid being hung drawn and quartered (the usual "lower social status" fate), and that Cromwell offered a less horrific "nobleman's death" of beheading to entice his perjury...especially considering Smeaton reputedly showed no sign of having been physically tortured.
Jane Rochford was not Anne Boylin's sister like is told in here but she was a sister-in-law and married to Anne's brother George Boylin. Even I do know this and I don't live in Brittish spoken countries.
The narcissist never believes that something bad can happen to them. They always think they know more than they really do. All that stays in place until, they meet a bigger narcissist, which Anne did. Queen Anne was not a pathological narcissist. She does have some empathy for her mom and daughter. Maybe most people in power have narcissistic traits. Now Henry viii was a pathological narcissist. I was rewatching this again. I saw it two years ago.
Chapuys was not her "sworn enemy"; he saw what she was as he saw Henry's ridiculous behavior with her. I love to hear from women that she is their "favorite"- so brave and noble; I wait to hear them say it. She is a "Me, Too" favorite, for sure.
Uh...I have seen the records of the taxation. I understand the paranoia and fear. But, the taxing I read sounded wrongly motivated, regardless of his fear. And, then you said how wrong it was...? I think there is plenty of evidence to say he was a cold miser from the beginning.
Yes, I do have other things I could be doing; I love this show because I like to hear other opinions, no matter what they are. So, because she was a woman she was on a higher level? Do you have any MEN who read your blog?
Good God. So, Jane was "bad" because she was clever enough to BEHAVE with the man who had just cut off his former wife's head? THINK! You sound so silly to someone who knows about research. You have written a doctoral dissertation?
The SITE thing is interesting. But, still, you speak of the things you KNOW she thought as if she were the only human ever to go to the block. Do you understand why I see your talk as extremely sexist?

highly enjoyable listening
great show
One of my favorites
We love sarah
Anne had such dignity and grace, do you think that Anne's jailers would allow her to have her Bible or book of hours during her time in the Tower?

I can guarantee you we all know that she was her sister in law, I'm confident in saying it was a slip of tongue. Thanks for your productive feedback.

To me I feel what's sauce for the goose. Anne whilst at the height of her powers urged the death of many people. They had families and friends too.
How, as a scholar, can you say that Henry wasn't afraid of Warbeck because he might be the heir?
Katherine had her daughter taken away. We all know what Henry was capable of. He already killed many of his friends. Cromwell did his bidding.

Is it possible that you think it WAS NOT scary for everyone else who was arrested and taken to the tower?
It is not KNOWN that it was a "coup'; probably was.But, you are not thinking and analyzing the way you would if you were talking about a man.
I have to stop. I merely want women to THINK about the things the say; sexism has softened your brains. THINK!
