"What they did to Anne Boleyn before her execution was so horrific that they wanted to erase it from the historical record. The sword's blow was swift but death was not. For up to XX seconds of pure terror Anne Boleyn's eyes still blinked. Her consciousness trapped inside her severed head remained horrifyingly intact. She saw the pale London sky one last time. She heard the wet intimate sound of her own blood soaking into wood cloth and straw. But this physiological nightmare this final twitching awareness was nothing compared to what had already been done to her. The story you've been told"
