Well, its not really "new". I've been fascinated by Tudor England for years, especially the reign of Henry VIII. We're talking about a man that had six wives and was only survived by two. Two divorced (Catherine of Aragon & Anne of Cleves), two were beheaded (Anne Boleyn), one died in childbirth (Jane Seymour), and the last outlived him (Catherine Parr).
What interests me more than just his reign is the rise and fall of Anne Boleyn. Anne's death has been portrayed in countless plays, films, and television shows. Here's a random thought for you...it is documented that Anne was blindfolded before her beheading. Why is she typically not blindfolded in her film/television adaptations? Weird, right?
Here's some fun for you. Anne's death scene in Showtime's acclaimed series: The Tudors. Enjoy!
