- Year
- 1536
- Event
- Anne Boleyn was executed at the Tower of London after being found guilty of treason, adultery and incest.
- Why it matters
- The execution removed a crowned queen through law, accusation and court politics, and showed how dangerous proximity to Henry VIII had become.
- Possible Historically angle
- Keep the focus on the machinery around the execution rather than retelling her whole life: the charges, the speed of the fall and the public removal of a queen.
