Why was Ann Boleyn executed in 1536?

This was the question examined in a fascinating BBC2 programme aired this evening. Seven different historians and historical novelists offered their views, including Suzannah Lipscomb who has blogged about the programme and the subject here.

Another of the contributors was Man Booker Prize winning novelist Hilary Mantel. The death of Ann Boleyn concludes her new novel “Bring Up The Bodies” which I have reviewed here.
