She was a christian. When a person gives their life to Christ and believes on Him, then they are adopted into Gods family. They belong to Him and that person gets everything they need from the Lord, including strength and courage. There are many stories of Christians enduring terrible things, even in the last hundred years.

The horrendous torture of Anne Askew is unspeakable. How she stuck to her guns and would not give in is truly incredible. It's almost impossible to comprehend such courage in the face of such horror!. And she was not the only one. Many others of similar conviction were tortured in Britain but sadly their stories have been lost over the years. These unbelievably wicked acts should never be forgotten. There are very old books such as Foxe's Book Of Martyrs which contains many such accounts including the story of Anne Askew.

I have a genetic disorder called Ehlers Danslo Syndrome, basically my connective tissue doesn't function as it should. My joints are very prone to dislocating. You are absolutely spot on with your descriptions of what it would have been liked for Anne to have her tendons torn thus causing her joints to dislocate and the unbearable pain she would have been in. My joints are unstable because of the genetic defect of my tendons, ligaments and muscles which allows my joints to slide around uncontrollably. There are days that I can't function because of the pain I am in. Anne's hips and spine would have also been affected by the damage done to her tendons and ligaments as they stretched her by her wrists and ankles as they tortured her on the rack. This have been the reason the accounts described her as being in agony and in so much pain as she was jostled about on the chair she was chained to as she was carried to the stake. She was incredibly brave to not have confess under such conditions as she was tortured on the rack. Great research!!

I have a similar condition to EDS, also a connective tissue disorder, so I dislocate my joints like you. Multiple dislocations in a single limb in one hit is excruciating!! It's bad enough with one joint... any more than that is always awful. Thinking of that happening in every limb at once? Bloody terrifying. You're right, it would have been hips and spine, almost definitely ribs from the muscles being pulled out of place. I'd wager her entire pelvis would have dislocated from the SIJ, and both hips. I dislocate my SIJ, and when it's flared up really badly, sitting upright on anything is basically impossible. I can sit on a kitchen table chair and last about five minutes max before it gets too painful. If I'm in the car, every single bump sends pain shooting up my spine and down both legs. No wonder the poor lady screamed so badly at every jolt. It's likely her bones wouldn't have gone back in properly (since she would have basically been a bag of jelly afterwards) so she probably had nerve impingements and stuff too. I don't know how the human body could continue going for any length of time after being put on the rack. Death would be a mercy.

I’ve got a family member I tracked who was executed for high treason around 1477, very similar fashion to all of these but he was drawn and quartered. He was a Yorkist serving the Duke of Clarence (Edward IV’s brother). I can fill you in more on it if you’re interested!

What that poor girl must have gone through, lesser people would have revealed everything, Anne must have been so fearless 🤘🏹

It is of course possible that she wasn’t part of any conspiracy and therefore genuinely had no co-conspirators to name.

You make it sound like she had a choice .

Thank you Kevin.

This is so very sad but very well said by the commentator.Living in those days was very cruel thank goodness things are very different now.

We can't judge the events of the past through the prism of today, but this was brutal.

I think even through their prism it was barbaric but they had the power to do so anyway and do the same to any ho publicly disapproved

Sometimes I would agree with you, but in this case they knew it wasn't right even back then, and that is why they had to do it illegally. Although I would say even if it had been legally it would be immoral.

Just found your channel. So very interesting and look forward to more. Such a tragic story beautifully explained. Will remember Ann Askew from now on.

Thanks for sharing. Truly horrible, but still worth knowing about.

Thank you for sharing this. I'm just a dork in Northern California. We have our own interesting history being the 'wild west' and all but this is much 'deeper'. Again, thank you and keep up the good work.

A Story tragedy ,courage and conviction .

I am very proud of her for her unwillingness to name names and bravery in defending her faith. I appreciated learning about her from you. May she be resting in eternal peace.

My daughter has stumbled across your topic inside and thought I should comment. My grandmother had original paintings of Anne & her husband, one of just anne & other paintings 2 children playing in a field, I was told it was Anne's children. The painter was French, another was Italian. When I was a young man, I would go on these trips with my grandmother. As she was moving these paintings from place to place. My grandmother would guard these paintings with her life. There was only a select few that was allowed to see the paintings Along With security and trust, obviously. My grandmother has since passed and these paintings remain in my custody Along with the rules of my grandmother. I have heard alot of stories of anne & her family. My grandmother joined the Royal navy at 17. Then after that, she worked for Queen Elizabeth. 2 years before my grandmother's passing. She received a letter from the Queen asking about her Well-being the letter was hand delivered & he waited for a response letter. Both passed just months apart. Thank you for telling the history.

Thankyou so much for telling us the history what a horrible encounter she must of been terrible 😢

Another Awesome story Gruesome and so much courage Thank you for this piece of History. 😊👍
