No Peace For Beheaded Queen Anne Boleyn?

 

Yes, Anne Boleyn (ca. 1501-1536) did become the Queen of England (1533-1536), but as we know, she didn't STAY queen as she was jailed and beheaded for a variety of not very likely "crimes". 

Sitting in Tower, she must have felt abandoned and let down by her husband, Henry VIII. She may have found some solace in the love and comfort she had from her loyal ladies-in-waiting, but it didn't save her from the expert executioner, her husband had brought over to rid himself of this woman whom he had adored for years, but whom he now found burdensome.

When her head fell, her ladies-in-waiting swept it in a cloth of some sort, but then it disappeared with the rest of her dead body. There have been many suggestions as to where she was buried, but no certainty: Where is her dead body, and could it be because it has sort of disappeared that she seems to have been robbed not only of her life, but of her "eternal rest"??? As it is, after death, she has turned into a very famous ghost, roaming some of the places that were of special value to her when she was alive. One of these is Blickling Hall where she was born. It has been said that her spirit may be expected to appear on May 19th, the anniversary of her execution. Some give very vivid and dramatic accounts of how her ghost comes in a carriage drawn by headless horses and driven by a headless coachman. As it that wasn't enough, people also say that her ghost is carrying her own severed head!

No, this is not supposed to be Anne, but it might have been as she has been called the "most widely travelled ghost": She simply has a way of appearing everywhere, even in modern vehicles, like e.g. trains. Very weird indeed, but it indicates an ongoing interest - and maybe even love? - of the poor, beheaded queen by the English population, that is very telling. She wasn't a typical "English rose", but her fate was touching, and people feel for her.
