Anne Boleyn: how did it all go wrong?
Listen now
Description
When Anne Boleyn was arrested on 2nd May and taken to the Tower of London, this was the beginning of a carefully orchestrated scheme to bring down the Queen of England. Everything done was in careful balance of public and private. In this discussion I give extra insight into why Anne was not taken in through traitors' gate and why she had a private execution, and why both of these things were done for reasons which suited Henry VIII!
