Lovely ⚘👑💖

🌹 The mystery of who sends Anne Boleyn Roses, is finally solved 🌹

🌹 A curious and beautiful tradition persists every year, when a bunch of red roses arrives by taxi, to the Tower of London.

Mystery has always surrounded the arrival of the flowers - which have been sent anonymously to the Tower every 19th May, since at least 1850.

🌹 The bouquet solemnly arrives, is collected by a Yeoman Warder, and placed on the memorial slab for Anne Boleyn in the Chapel of St. Peter ad Vincula.

No member of the public is normally allowed into this part of the chapel outside of services - unless as part of the popular tours of the Yeoman Warders, when the altar area is respectfully roped off.

🌹 The high degree of anonymity of the sender of these flowers, has always been shrouded in mystery.

Historians, Tower staff and thousands of visitors have always been intrigued by the tradition.

Until now, nobody has been able to discover who was sending the annual bouquet to the chapel, where Anne is buried.

🌹 The roses comes from an undisclosed firm of trustees, and is accompanied by a card which reads quite simply,

“Queen Anne Boleyn 1536"

The memorial roses are only removed after they have wilted, however, other flowers are also left by private individuals.

🌹 A former Director-General of the Tower of London, was intrigued by the story.

After years of painstaking research, Maj. Gen. Chris Tyler, traced the origin of the flowers back to Kent - where relatives of the Boleyn Family still live.

The family are now called Bullen rather than Boleyn, who reluctantly admitted, that the flowers came from them.

🌹 Gen. Tyler eventually won the trust of the intensely private Bullens, and a group of family members accepted his invitation to visit the Tower.

There, they got to see where Anne was imprisoned, where she died, and the place she was buried.

🌹 So the mystery of who sends Anne flowers has finally been solved.

It's sad in a way, as the mystery of the roses added to the allure of the woman who has kept us all enthralled for centuries.

The allure that enthralled a king, the allure that was Anne Boleyn.....

She took her final moments with such bravery. 🌹👑💔

** On this day - 19th May - in 1536 at daybreak, Anne Boleyn, Queen of England, was informed that the time for her ex*****on had finally come.

Wearing a grey damask robe, trimmed with ermine and an English style gable hood, Anne emerged from her apartments in the Tower and made her final journey to the scaffold.

A Portugese witness reported “𝑵𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑸𝒖𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒆𝒅 𝒔𝒐 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒖𝒍”, while another witness reported that Anne “𝒘𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒆𝒙𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒏 𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆”.

Anne spent her last hours making arrangements for the customary distribution of alms, spending her time in prayer and no doubt thinking of her young daughter Elizabeth (future Queen Elizabeth I) not yet 3 years old. She looked back on her youth at the courts of Margaret of Austria and France. She had told the ladies waiting on her that death was not a thing to be regretted and she hoped to be quit of all unhappiness, with various other good counsels.

Anne had made comments such as having ”𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒂 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒌” before putting her hands about her neck and laughing. She also joked that she would be remembered as “𝒍𝒂 𝑹𝒐𝒚𝒏𝒆 𝑨𝒏𝒏𝒆 𝑺𝒂𝒏𝒔 𝑻𝒆𝒕𝒆” (“𝑸𝒖𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝑨𝒏𝒏𝒆 𝑳𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅”).

Anne climbed the scaffold, which most likely had been where the jewel house is now. In the crowd, many of the faces she would have seen were involved in bringing her down. Anne then addressed the crowd with her final speech (Quoted in picture).

After this, Anne was blindfolded and knelt upon the scaffold. With one blow of the sword, the life of Anne Boleyn, Queen of England, was over. She was then laid to rest in the Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula, within the Tower, near that of her brother George who had been executed two days earlier. Her life may have been over, but her memory would forever live on 🌹
