The Horrifying Secret Behind Anne Askew’s Execution That England Tried to Bury
The Horrifying Secret Behind Anne Askew's Execution England Tried to Bury They called it justice. But what England's highest legal officers did to Anne Askew in the Tower of London was something far worse than execution. On June 19th, 1546, a scream tore through the White Tower. Anne Askew, just 25 years old, was learning what happens when a woman refuses to break. What followed wasn't a standard interrogation. It was systematic torture so illegal that the Lord Chancellor of England stripped off his robes, grabbed the rack's handles, and pulled her body apart with his own hands. Hours of documented agony. Two of England's most powerful men—Wriothesley and Rich—personally turning the torture wheel. A professional executioner who refused to continue. A body so destroyed she couldn't even walk to her own burning. From Anne's own smuggled writings to Tower of London records, and from the conspiracy targeting Queen Catherine Parr to the damning evidence of illegal torture, this was a cover-up that created one of history's greatest martyrs. The secret they tried to bury wasn't just religious heresy. It was a conspiracy to kill a Queen that failed... because one woman refused to speak. 👉 Subscribe to Order of The Silent Scribes🔔 / @orderofthesilentscribes ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 INTRODUCTION 00:28 I.
