Note 284 — Chapter XVII · QUEEN CATHERINE DESCENDS FROM THE THRONE, AND QUEEN ANNE BOLEYN ASCENDS IT. (November 1532 to July 1553.)
Reading edition
Mr. Froude says that Anne went to the Tower on the 19th of May, and that she quitted it for Westminster on the 31st, so that she resided there for eleven days (History of England, i. pp. 450, 451). That appears hardly probable, and is in contradiction to Cranmer’s narrative, where we read: ‘Her grace came to the Tower on Thursday at night.... Friday all day the king and queen tarried there.... The next day, which was Saturday, the knights rid before the queen’s grace towards Westminster.’—Letters, p. 245.
