Thank you so much to Edith and Lucy the dog for their excellent question regarding Anne Boleyn's imprisonment in the Tower of London in May 1536.
 
In series like The Tudors, Anne Boleyn is shown being treated like a queen even though she's a prisoner, and she's shown being attended by ladies-in-waiting? But is this true? That's what Edith and Lucy want to know.
 
In this talk, Claire Ridgway, author of "The Fall of Anne Boleyn: A Countdown", talks about where in the Tower Anne Boleyn was imprisoned and who attended her during that time. Claire also considers whether Anne was forced to watch the executions of the men, and who accompanied her to the scaffold on 19th May 1536.
