    Season One Finale: The Murder of Anne Boleyn

    Yeah, it's usually referred to as the "fall" of Anne Boleyn, like she flew too close to the sun or something, but let's call it what it really was. In the season 1 finale, Scarlett explains how Thomas Cromwell built his garbage case against Anne Boleyn and how the fake evidence didn't add up at the sham trials, and hopes that you "judge the best" as Anne requested in her execution speech.
