The latest instalment in my video series “Questions about Anne Boleyn” looks at the question “Was Anne Boleyn charged with witchcraft?” something that rears its ugly head every May when I talk about the indictments of charges laid against her, Anne’s trial and her execution.

What about the deformed foetus and extra finger? Were they used a proof of her being a witch?
Did Henry VIII believe that Anne Boleyn had bewitched him?
And what about the men? Were they involved in witchcraft?
I examine this topic in my latest video.
I do hope you enjoy it and please do share your thoughts and opinions.

In this third and final video on Mary Boleyn, sister of Queen Anne Boleyn, I answer the following questions: – What did Mary Boleyn look like? – Did Mary Boleyn have a son with mental disabilities? – Was Mary Boleyn’s second marriage a love match? – Are there any surviving letters between Anne Boleyn and […]
On this day in history, 2nd March 1522, in Henry VIII’s reign, the annual Shrovetide joust took place. Chronicler Edward Hall gives a very detailed account of the knights’ costumes, trappings and the mottoes embroidered on them. King Henry VIII’s motto was “elle mon coeur a navera”, or “she has wounded my heart”. In my […]
In my latest “Questions about Anne Boleyn” video, I am answering the question “Did Anne Boleyn have any pets?”.
