The HORRIFIC Execution Of Jane Boleyn - Anne Boleyn's Sister In Law

Рет қаралды 206,633

Жыл бұрын

During the Tudor period, Henry VIII executed around 70,000 people but very few were allowed a private execution within the walls of the Tower of London. One such woman who was granted this was Jane Boleyn, Viscountess Rochford. She was a woman who married into the Boleyn family, being married to Anne Boleyn's younger brother George. Their marriage was not a happy one, and when George Boleyn was executed on Tower Hill, some historians have claimed that Jane his wife may have even testified against her husband, securing his execution.
But Jane Boleyn was a scheming woman, and when the King married his fifth wife Catherine Howard, she helped the teenage Queen have an affair with Henry VIII's close friend Thomas Culpepper. She organised for the pair to be left alone, and when information came out that the Queen was cheating on the King, Henry VIII ordered his wife's execution and also Jane Boleyn's. Jane was executed minutes after the Queen was by axe on Tower Green, and was forced to kneel in the blood of the Queen before the executioner did his job.

@@saffirechanning7286it makes a difference because she was way less likely to die painfully with a sword than with an axe. It usually only took one swing of the sword but it could take two or more swings of an axe to get completely through the neck. Obviously it was the same outcome but one could cause way more suffering before death.

When you look a Little deeper it seems more like she was threatened by Cromwell that if she was woth George and Anne she was against the king. The “evidence” presented by her against George is questionable at best and outward lie fabricated by Cromwell ar worst. She continued to visit “her husband” up until his execution she took him blankets and food and spoke on him as her “dear husband”. The one thing about the Boleyns were they were resourceful and by her siding with the king it ensured her a long career at court she received a widowers payments annually directly from the crown. Not to mention if she had of witnessed any “incestuous” behaviour to admit them at a later date was also treason

You are right. There's evidence that suggests she was completely innocent. Henry just wanted to get onto the next mare and killing her was the quickest way to end it and still make him look like the victim. How would it have looked if he'd just made it known she lost her head because she hadn't given him a son. Who'd marry that guy. I love that Anne's daughter ruled for longer and did it better. Also the way he dealt with his wives was the reason she never wanted to get married.

The Royal Court was toxic and Henry the VIII was more toxic than most regents. His break from Catholicism liberated the Protestants. His insatiable libido put England on to a course of rugged individualism. Without his evil intentions we would not have had Elizabeth I, our Navy or the Empire. His megalomania put us on a course to enslave two thirds of the globe. Good or bad we can say syphilis founded the Commonwealth.

An amusing story but im not sure of its validity but its about Jane Boleyn. Before her marriage to George Boleyn, Jane was Lady Jane Parker. Because of her proclivity to listen at doorways & spying on people, keeping notes & info for future use. This info was used in bargaining tools for her benefit, but in other words - blackmail Eveyone was always suspicious of her & careful of what they said knowing shed record any info Thus because of pushing her nose into others business she was nicknamed... NOSEY PARKER! ( maybe meghan markle is channelling Jane !!) A well know phrase still used today for those people who are over inquisitive about others business! It could very well be true but the way young women were used in those days by unscrupulous men usually being fathers, brothers or husbands to solicit information for them, anyway possible. Poor Jane may have been used this way & was so used to having been forced to require news or gossip or facts, it became 2nd nature to her. Plus anyone living in royal circles in those times needed to watch their backs & retain info for their survival!! Jane Boleyn nee Parker was such a pretty girl & i think time & history plus some trashy writers have given her a bad rep. Thanks for the info on Jane as she deserves to be seen in a truer & better light! 🇬🇧👧

I realize that many of these people were both directly and indirectly involved in the politics of the Court, involving a King who would just as easily kill any of them as swat a fly. Some of them were tied by the availability of favors, money and property to the Monarchy. But this exacted a terrible price on some of them, who can only be described as reckless. We all can imagine how we might have to react in these issues. But for me, I would have simply moved to another Country and swept floors if necessary. Then, they could read about the execution of some of their close relatives...from a very safe distance. Sometimes, being around VERY dangerous people can have a price. Many around Stalin or any other Warlord have to know that their erstwhile benefactor (with power and money) can and will turn against them in a second. I guess they were just "addicted" to great power and money. But many of them paid a horrific price for it. No thanks. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)

70,000 is an huge exaggeration - a figure reportedly handed down and repeated throughout the centuries from a dubious source - and is more like 24,000, killed over almost 40 years of his reign, and that is countrywide, involving the execution of ordinary petty criminals (the poor) in local courts, which the King would have been completely unaware of. And this yearly figure of 600-700 executions would have existed before his reign, as the laws which sentancing people to death were roughly unchanged. The figure of 24,000 - as appalling as it is - is contemporary to the era in which they lived.

@@fletcherhenderson.5982 I fixed the error. Perhaps I was typing my post rather late at night. Also, Jane Boleyn’s, widow of George Boleyn, luck ran out with KH8; Jane was executed for being complicit in facilitating the queen’s meetings with Thomas Culpepper.

Yep. I wonder if any of us know all the facts but it occurred to me it was probably just a mix up. I do that also. So many Catherines he married who can keep it straight anyway. We forget that the survivors write history and through Henry's reign not many survived to tell their story. Much of the accounts were probably written to back up the lies they'd told to have people killed. I should state that Thomas Seymour didn't actually die like I'd said. He was executed for being inappropriate with the young Elizabeth and I believe Edward, Elizabeth's brother had him killed. Can't remember whether he got trimmed at the neck or hung, strung, drawn and quartered.

@@fletcherhenderson.5982 Thanks for catching my error. I think Tommy Seymour was beheaded, but it took more than one chop. Horrible. I really think it his attempting to kidnap the king that was the final poorly thought-through plan, in a life of poorly thought-through plans, that lost him his life. The truism that the winners write history has stuck with me since first hearing it. 😀

@ann-mariejones2824 Жыл бұрын

The French were kinder (I'm being facetious). They used the guillotine, a lot less traumatic which Anne Bolyne requested. It would have been a constant game of chess and luck to survive in that world.Unfortunately though, history is littered with examples that highlight the human propensity for cruelty.

@@glen7318Thank you Glen. She requested a French swordsman as they were known to be very efficient, where as the local executioners not so - leading to a lot more suffering and agony for the prisoner. It was only to highlight that many cultures of the time were equally as cruel as the English. Eg Spanish inquisition.
