Does Anyone Know Which Part Of The Tower Of London Anne Boleyn Stayed In Just Before Her Coronation? Thanks!?
It was actually in the Queen’s House, once known as the Lieutenant’s Lodgings, in the Tower of London, ironically staying in the same place before her execution. It was the custom in those days that monarchs would spend the night/s before their coronation in the Tower, and process from there to Westminster Abbey to be crowned.
Edit: When Anne was taken to her imprisonment before her execution, she asked the Constable of the Tower, Sir William Kingston, “Mr, Kingston,do I go into a dungeon?” “No, Madam”, he replied, ” you shall go into the lodging you lay in at your coronation.”"
The royal apartments [The Tower of London was once also a royal residence] were on the east side of the inner ward between the Lanthorn Tower, the White Tower, and the Wardrobe Tower. Very little is known about them. The Tower had been a royal palace since Norman times, but by the reign of Henry VIII it was considered old-fashioned and uncomfortable. Cromwell put in hand renovations in the early 1530s for Anne Boleyn’s coronation. … The royal aprtments did not long survivie it, which suggests that Cromwell’s improvements were mainly cosmetic. The Queen’s lodging comprised a presence chamber, a bedchamber, and a garden.
