May 15, 1536 - The Trial of George Boleyn
"No proof of his guilt was produced except that of his having once passed many hours in her company, and other little follies. He answered so well that many who were present at the trial, and heard what he said, had no difficulty in waging two one that he would be acquitted, the more so that no witnesses were called against him or against her…" - Eustace Chapuys (May 19, 1536)
"He made answer so prudently and wisely to all articles laid against him, that marvel it was to hear, and never would confess anything, but made himself as clear as though he had never offended." - Wriothesley's Chronicle (1559)
"Aware that his days were numbered, Lord Rochford defied the court and did precisely what he was ordered not to. The queen, it was said, had told George's wife, Lady Rochford, that the king 'was not skilful in copulating with a woman, and he had neither virtue nor potency. All 2,000 onlookers were now privy to this sensitive and undoubtedly embarrassing information." - Natalie Grueninger, The Final Year of Anne Boleyn (2022)
