#anyway!! i wonder if she knew how people were 'murmuring' abt the proceedings as chapuys claims#apparently 'it sounds ill' to people that anne was going to die for jane to be queen#and i wish we knew how jane felt about THAT#i wonder if that made it easier to rationalise anne dying (bc it gets her out of the way)#or harder (the increase in sympathy for anne posing the first real threat jane would face#and jane would never have experienced widespread unpopularity or notoriety before)

not to bring this whole debate up again, but... the thing is, if you insist that jane seymour knew anne boleyn & the five men charged alongside her were innocent, you sort of have to concede some of the ground in your argument that her lack of intercession on their behalf stemmed from some kind of malicious intent. because, well, what is she supposed to do, considering her lack of status/power outside of henry's interest in her (if even that, considering his disparaging her speaking on mary's behalf around the same time) when she knows the king of england is willing to fabricate charges to kill six people for her?
