Today,the 19th May, in 1536 Anne Boleyn was executed for adultery.
She received the death sentence because her husband was Henry VIII, king of England.
She was accused of adultery with five men, all were known to her, one was her brother.
Only one of the men admitted to the deed, all were tortured and beheaded. (An indication, if one was needed, that they were innocent: treason, for which they were accused, was punished by hanging, drawing and quartering.
Of course, Anne’s only crime was not to bear the 44 year old king with a son. She had had a daughter, Elizabeth, destined to be one of England’s greatest monarchs, but he wanted a son and had already lined up a new bride. He remarried on the 29th, a Howard family member, Katherine.
Mercifully for the Queen who forever changed England’s future with her Protestantism, Henry imported a well known French executioner, who used a sword, severing her head in one blow, so she did not suffer as some did under a drunken executioner or one bribed to make a mess.
Get rid of Columbus day!

@cystic:
Eventually Yanny will end up writing a book:
“Lies the ‘Lies my teacher told me’ told me” book.Ow! My brain just rebooted!
Rush is now 98.6% correct? What happened?
Did they find he was right when
more facts came out about Clinton?
I know it takes a lot of errors/corrections to change
his percentages after 14 and 3/4’s years of broadcasting.Sometimes I disagree with El Rushbo. Like now.
He’s pushing the Affirmative Action point about
Jayson Blair(NY Times reporter who plagarized.)
I can see his perspective and agree to a point,
but the editors and publisher are covering their butst.The top dog at the paper said it was all Blair’s fault,
not to blame the editors or ME. If it was any other
business they would all be saying,
“The corruption/problem reaches all the way to the TOP!”
So why not here?! -
Currently, the book is beyond my reach (In car in shop), so I cannot directly quote anything. However, the main part of the first chapter in the book is dedicated to how he finds his information. His sources are “Primary Sources”, meaning the actual archeological evidence. Letters, Carvings, Ancient Books, Pottery, Journals ect. When he has to, meaning he cannot find any primary sources on the subject, he will resort to “Secondary Sources”, meaning compiling of information that were made during the time period (Almanacs, Encyclopedias, their ancient equivilants, ect).
And note I cited sources above. I will however cite more for the information I have postd since. I still have yet to hear a single decent arguement against Columbus day.

Guglielmo Marconi and Amerigo Vespucci don’t have their own holidays. Those of us with any Italian heritage need a National Day of Whoopee!
