The condemned followed the protocals of the times - and they were aware of the safety of the family they left behind. Mark Smeaton, accused with Anne Boleyn, pleaded guilty but at his execution merely said he deserved this death, which implied he had lied. The condemned often made remarks like this, but were referring to any past sins rather than the crime they had been accused of.<br /><br />I note you left out Lady Jane Grey, which was very poignant.<br /><br />As for the countess of Salisbury, which 'story' is the correct one? I was brought up with the Countess refusing to put her head on the block as she was no traitor, then that she was butchered by an inexperienced headsman, and finally she begged for her life. Any idea which is true?Anerjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16305237339979790391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21031350.post-39923106334629288452011-04-09T22:34:34.443-04:002011-04-09T22:34:34.443-04:00Great post, Susan!
