Thomas Cromwell was quite the piece of work. Instrumental in the execution of Thomas More and John Fischer

Thank you, mass55th.

I actually pray that I can forgive her.

But what happened to me was nothing compared to the child smuggling. Those poor children will be scarred for life. And Biden will have to answer for it online when he meets his maker.

I hope that not all of them succumb to prostitution and drugs.

My wife is a first cousin 14 times removed of Anne Boleyn and is the 12th Great Grandniece of Catherine Howard, both of whom were married to Henry VIII and both of whom lost their heads. She traces her line back to Sir Thomas Arundell, who married Lady Margaret Howard. Lady Margaret was the daughter of Lord Edmund Howard, and Lady Margaret’s sister was Catherine Howard, fifth wife of Henry VIII. Lord Edmund Howard’s sister, Elizabeth Howard, married Thomas Boleyn, and they had Anne Boleyn. So, Lady Margaret and Anne Boleyn were cousins.

Thanks for letting us know. Lord Edmund Howard is shown as my 13th great-granduncle on Ancestry.com. Catherine Howard is shown as 1st cousin 14x removed.

Came across this story today. It's on The History Blog, which I've been following for many years:
