Royal Anniversary

484 years ago today Anne Boleyn was crowned Queen of England. I noticed that there was no mention of Anne's unpopularity in the first linked article.

There are other discrepancies between the two articles: how pregnant was Anne--two months or heavily?  What was the actual coronation date?

I don't have the time nor inclination to do research now, but the second article has an incorrect execution date, so I'm not comfortable with its coronation date. On the other hand, I have read about the public unhappiness at the coronation before.

Anne remains polarizing. As a member of the cult, however, I love her.

PS Six years ago today Johan Santana pitched the first no-hitter for the New York Mets.
