Why Anne Boleyn Was Innocent
(This is a reworked article from my old Tumblr account.) Many historians agree that Anne Boleyn was not guilty of the crimes she was accused of, and even executed for. These crimes included adultery, incest, and plotting to kill the king. In this article, I detail the main reasons that historians, and I, believe she was innocent, as well as the real reason Henry had her executed.
Consider what Anne would be like in the modern day. She would be just your usual bold, outspoken woman who isn’t a virgin. That’s totally normal! It is important to consider people from history who were in oppressed groups from the modern perspective, for it is much more free of prejudice. Resources: 1. "Anne Boleyn: Why Did She Have To Die?"
