Anne Wyatt [28195] ²⁵

  General Notes:

1536 Accompanied Anne Boleyn <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/aboutAnneBoleyn.htm> to the scaffold on May 9th, and received from her "her little prayer book, set in gold enamelled black which she long preserved as a precious relic". (Ireland History). At her execution Anne Boleyn <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/aboutAnneBoleyn.htm> went to the block dressed in black damask and was said never to have looked more beautiful. One of her attendants was Anne Wyatt, to who she was seen to whisper something as she knelt. A message she sent earlier on her execution day no one dared to mention to the King <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/aboutHenryVIII.htm>. Anne <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/aboutAnneBoleyn.htm>'s message to Henry VIII <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/aboutHenryVIII.htm> through Anne Wyatt was "Commend me to his Majesty, and tell him he has ever been constant in his career of advancing me. From a private gentlewoman he made me a marchioness, from a marchioness a Queen. And now he has left me no higher degree of honour, he gives me my innocence the crown of martyrdom". (N B Morrison).
