The Arrest Of Anne Boleyn: Was She Really Guilty Of Treason, Adultery & Incest?

In the gripping first episode of this three-part series, historian Tracy Borman explores the dramatic events leading up to the arrest of Anne Boleyn - Henry VIII's second wife and one of history's most iconic queens. Hour by hour, Borman reconstructs Anne's final days of freedom, revealing the complex web of political intrigue, personal rivalries, and shifting alliances that ultimately led to her downfall. Was Anne Boleyn guilty of betrayal - or betrayed herself by a king determined to rid himself of a queen who could no longer deliver an heir? From the royal court at Greenwich Palace to the dark corridors of the Tower of London, viewers are taken on a journey through the escalating tension of spring 1536. What really happened in the days before Anne's arrest? Did she conspire with her alleged lovers, or was she the victim of a calculated political coup led by Thomas Cromwell? Featuring original documents, newly uncovered evidence, and visits to key historical locations, this episode investigates the confession that sealed her fate, the men accused alongside her, and the last desperate letter Anne wrote to her husband, King Henry VIII.
