📍Tower of London, Chapel St Peter Ad Vincula

Anne Boleyn, second wife of the dreadful king of England, Henry VIII was gone.

Henry wanted to get rid of her because she couldn’t give me a son.

She was falsely accused of adultery, in**st and witchcraft.

Everything about her was destroyed. Everything? Not really, like at Hampton Court Palace there are still traces of her. Her legacy still lives on

🖤We still remember her today
