Anne Boleyn - Second wife of Henry VIII (died 5-9-1536) by Richard Weaver

Her last
words
spoken
from
the Tower:
"The
executioner
is,
I
believe,
very
expert,
and
my
neck
is
very
slender."
But not
as slender
as the
blade’s
shining edge.



*From the author's series on the final words of persons of historical note



Richard Weaver continues as the official writer-in-residence at the James Joyce Pub, though he splits time with Hooley’s Public House in San Diego.
