How did Anne Boleyn go from being one of the most influential queens in English history to being executed before a large crowd on 19th May 1536?

In this episode, I narrate what really happened on Anne's final day alive and explore whether a cornucopia of incest, adultery, attempted murder, treason, and witchcraft actually helped bring about her terrible end.
