The EXHUMATION Of Anne Boleyn

Anne Boleyn was Henry VIII's ill-fated second Queen/wife who met her end inside the Tower of London on a scaffold facing a swordsman. Anne Boleyn's execution is one of the most significant and shocking events in English History, with her downfall being expertly manipulated by Thomas Cromwell. Henry VIII had already had his eye set on Jane Seymour, and needed Anne out of the picture, so Cromwell imprisoned her and had Anne placed on trial from treason and other charges.

She was brutally executed on Tower Green in front of a small crowd, and then she was buried inside the Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula inside of the Tower's walls. During the Victorian period, there was a significant amount of restoration carried out on the chapel, and they then exhumed the body of Anne Boleyn and doctors recorded what it was like. They noted it had a very small neck, and also she had died from the beheading during the Tudor period. Anne's grave had also been disturbed by another burial.

She was then re-laid to rest inside of the Chapel, along with Henry VIII's fifth wife Catherine of Aragon and a number of other Tudor nobles who were executed inside the Tower of London.
