On this day in history, on the morning of 2nd May 1536, Henry VIII’s friend and groom of the stool, Sir Henry Norris, was escorted to the Tower of London following his interrogation the previous day.
He wasn’t the only person taken to the Tower on 2nd May 1536, Queen Anne Boleyn was arrested at Greenwich Palace and then taken to the royal apartments of the Tower of London, arriving there at approximately 5pm.
