A Thousand Day Queen
Anne watched as they prepared the erect scaffold that was out in the green. She had just returned from her sham of a trial two days earlier, where her fate was sealed before she even walked into the room. The scaffold they were building was where she would meet her fate that was given to her in the courtroom. She still remembered how her uncle, the Duke of Norfolk, her own flesh and blood gave out the death sentence. To burned or beheaded at the King's pleasure he said. Those words were playing over and over in her head. But it was also no surprise her trial came to that outcome.
