But it's possible! Her entire family turned on her at the end, very sad. The queen kept faith with her, though, literally and figuratively. <br /><br />CharmedLassie, I do think it's true that many lower born people were killed on either "side" of the issue; a compelling case for freedom of religion, for sure. I admire her courage. We don't often read about women as forthright and courageous as she was in the 16C.

The interesting thing I find about Tudor religious battles is how many stories must be forgotten because the victims weren't as highly-connected as Anne, although the ones that remain are certainly chilling enough.
