ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY.

Ann Boleyn

On this day in 1536, Ann Boleyn, the Queen of England, was arrested on charges of adultery, incest, treason, witchcraft, burglary, tax evasion, trespassing, failing to signal while changing lanes, insider trading, and simony. The court ultimately reduced the charges to loitering in the second degree, which was a capital offense.
