Justice sought for Anne Boleyn

Sir, I am most anxious to see justice done to Anne Boleyn in my lifetime (and I am aged 84).

She was convicted of adultery, incest and treason and executed on May 19, 1536. Modern thought and belief is that she was entirely innocent; none of the nine biographies that I have recently read dissented from this view.

If the eminent authors of these histories and others of similar conviction were collectively to petition for a pardon and a pledge to rebury her from a traitor’s grave in the Tower to a royal one in Westminster Abbey, as near to that of her daughter Queen Elizabeth I as possible, surely they would be forthcoming; then Anne’s poignant call to the Governor of the Tower: “Shall I have justice?” would belatedly but fittingly be answered.
