Anne Boleyn. Her Life as told by Lancelot de Carle's 1536 Letter.
In 1536, two weeks after the execution of Anne Boleyn, her brother George and four others, Lancelot du Carle, wrote an extraordinary letter that described Anne's life, and her trial and execution, to which he was a witness. This book presents a new translation of that letter, with additional material from other contemporary sources such as Letters, Hall's and Wriothesley's Chronicles, the pamphlets of Wynkyn the Worde, the Memorial of George Constantyne, the Portuguese Letter and the Baga de Secrets, all of which are provided in Appendices.
Available at Amazon in eBook and Paperback format.
In 292 Saint Eulalia of Mérida was born.
On 10th December 304 Saint Eulalia of Mérida (age 12) burned at the stake at Augusta Emerita for refusing to adopt Roman Gods. She challenged the authorities to martyr her. The judge's attempts at flattery and bribery failed. She was stripped by the soldiers, tortured with hooks and torches, and burnt at the stake. When she died a dove flew out of her mouth. Snow covered her nakedness.
Around 650 Bishop Fidelis of Mérida built a basilica in honor of Saint Eulalia of Mérida where she had died.
Around 780 the body of Saint Eulalia of Mérida was moved to Oviedo.
In 1075 the body of Saint Eulalia of Mérida was placed in a coffin of Arab silver donated by Alfonso "Brave" VI King Leon VI King Castile (age 34).
