About Was Henry VIII Really to Blame for Anne Boleyn’s Death?

Incest? Infidelity? Betrayal by his mother… or his ex? Why did Henry VIII execute the very queen he fought so hard to marry? And how much of the blame lies with him? We take these questions to the public outside the Tower of London, the very place of her execution. Louise Quick, with the help of the public and historians Dr Joanne Paul and Dr Owen Emmerson, is on a mission to uncover the true story behind one of the most famous deaths in history, the beheading of Queen Anne Boleyn.
