The BRUTAL Execution Of Henry VIII's HATED Priest

Описание: During the reign of King Henry VIII, the Tudor Monarch made a number of enemies following his split from Rome and also his marriage to Anne Boleyn. One of his most outspoken critics was a former priest and chaplain of Catherine of Aragon the King's first wife. Thomas Abell was close with Catherine of Aragon, and he stuck by her during her divorce with the King, and he published a pamphlet criticising the English King. This was incredibly dangerous, and Henry VIII then imprisoned him inside of the Tower of London. Abell was held for a number of years inside of the Beauchamp Tower, and a piece of his graffiti survives today inside of this specific prison.

But after a number of years, he was sent to Smithfield and was then sentenced to death being declared a traitor. He was hanged, drawn and quartered which was considered the most brutal of executions. But Thomas Abell's crimes were his loyalty to Catherine of Aragon, and the fact he openly spoke out and criticised the King. He had for a number of years been held inside the Tower under very harsh conditions.
