Historian Tracy Borman walks through the trial that ended Anne Boleyn's life in May 1536, built by Thomas Cromwell into a verdict no defense could survive. Anne's own uncle and father sit on the jury that condemns her, despite what Borman presents as a composed and dignified rebuttal to charges of adultery and treason. The case rests on evidence already sealed by the earlier convictions of the five men accused of being her lovers, convictions the film treats as the product of coercion rather than proof. Borman traces how the machinery of the trial serves a purpose set well before it began: clearing the way for Henry VIII to marry Jane Seymour and remove Anne for good. The episode moves through the courtroom procedure and the political pressures bearing on it, framing the outcome less as justice than as a foregone conclusion dressed up in legal form. It closes on the sentence that leads directly to the scaffold at the Tower of London.
