On this day in 1536, Anne Boleyn was led to the scaffold. She proclaimed her innocence during her last confession & spoke bravely whilst on the scaffold. She asked that those who would meddle in her cause going forward would judge her the best. ❤️

#OTD 1536, Anne Boleyn was executed at the Tower for treason and adultery. Standing on the spot where she spent her final hours and where her daughter Elizabeth was later kept prisoner is an experience I’ll never forget: youtu.be/7d_WO0kyQIE Hodder & Stoughton Historic Royal Palaces
