What did Anne wear to her execution? Did she wear something red as I believe it was common for people who died as marthyrs to wear red?

Anne wore an ermine trimmed grey damask robe, with an English style gable hood and a crimson kirtle. The ermine symbolised her royal status and the crimson may well have symbolised martyrdom.
