On this day in Tudor history, 13th May 1536, Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland, got rather cross and exasperated with Thomas Cromwell and refused to be bullied in any way.
Poor Cromwell, Percy wouldn’t play ball!
Find out what Thomas Cromwell was trying to get Percy to do and why, and what it had to do with the fall of Anne Boleyn…
And on this very same day, the royal household of Queen Anne Boleyn was broken up and her household discharged. This was just eleven days after her arrest and the queen hadn’t even been tried yet, never mind found guilty!
Find out more about this day and what happened to members of Anne’s household…
