The Horrifying Secret Behind Anne Askew’s Execution England Tried to Bury

Anne Askew was one of the bravest women in English history — a scholar, Protestant reformer, and martyr who defied the most powerful men in Tudor England. In 1546, she was arrested, illegally tortured in the Tower of London, and burned alive for refusing to betray Queen Catherine Parr and the Protestant movement. This video reveals the shocking, uncensored truth of what happened when King Henry VIII’s own Lord Chancellor personally turned the torture rack on a 25-year-old woman. You will hear the true story of Anne Askew’s interrogation, the brutal politics behind it, and how her silence protected England’s queen and changed the course of history forever. From the filthy cells of the White Tower to the flames of Smithfield, this documentary exposes one of the darkest crimes ever committed by the Tudor government — and how it backfired, turning Anne Askew into a Protestant legend.
