Join actor Jason Watkins and historian Tracy Borman as they set out to answer one of British history’s most enduring mysteries: who were the key players responsible for the downfall of Anne Boleyn?
Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII’s second wife, was executed on 19 May 1536 after being found guilty of adultery, incest, and treason; charges most historians now believe were fabricated.
Jason and Tracy reopen the case, examining remarkable first-hand evidence as they trace Anne’s rise, her enemies, and the political forces that ultimately sealed her fate. With expert insight, evocative locations and a gripping narrative, the investigation builds to a powerful conclusion and identifying the key figures who stood to gain most from Anne’s destruction.
