The most striking piece of evidence is a locket ring that Elizabeth wore, which contained a hidden portrait of Anne Boleyn alongside one of herself. This discovery challenges the long-held assumption that Elizabeth distanced herself entirely from her mother’s memory. Anne Boleyn was executed on May 19, 1536, on charges of adultery, treason, and incest with her brother - accusations that modern historians largely consider fabricated to enable Henry VIII’s third marriage.
