As I said yesterday, by the end of 4th May 1536 there were six prisoners in the Tower of London connected to Thomas Cromwell’s investigations into the queen and her behaviour: Queen Anne Boleyn herself, her brother George, Sir Henry Norris, Mark Smeaton, Sir Francis Weston and William Brereton. But there were more to come!
By the end of 5th May, two other men had been imprisoned in the Tower of London and another courtier had been ordered to London for questioning.
What on earth was going on and who were these men?
