The execution of Henry VIII’s second queen in 1536 has traditionally been attributed to a conspiracy masterminded by Thomas Cromwell. This radical reinterpretation focuses instead on the many intrigues that pervaded Henry’s court.
It looks at opinions only of Warnicke – for example, the idea that Anne Boleyn was deformed and had a sixth finger and a wen under her chin.
