On this day in Tudor history, 31st May 1533, just three days after her marriage to King Henry VIII had been proclaimed valid, the six-month pregnant Queen Anne Boleyn processed from the Tower of London to Westminster.
It was a lavish eve of coronation procession with lots of entertainment, including pageants, orations, music, and wine flowing in the conduits and in fountains. Oh to have been a citizen of London on that day!
