QUEENS

(5 Entries)

1)
Antoinette, Marie, Queen of France (1755-1793)
"Pardonnez-moi, monsieur." Marie Antoinette was the wife of King Louis XVI

2)
Boleyn, Anne (1507?-1536)
"Oh God, have pity on my soul. Oh God, have pity on my soul." Anne Boleyn was Henry VIII's second queen and the mother of Elizabeth I. She was executed after she fell into Henry's disfavor. From the scaffold, she addressed the spectators who came to see her beheaded, "Good Christian people, I am come hither to die, for according to the law, and by the law I am judged to die, and therefore I will speak nothing against it. I am come hither to accuse no man, nor to speak anything of that, whereof I am accused and condemned to die, but I pray God save the king and send him long to reign over you, for a gentler nor a more merciful prince was there never: and to me he was ever a good, a gentle and sovereign lord. And if any person will meddle of my cause, I require them to judge the best. And thus I take my leave of the world and of you all, and I heartily desire you all to pray for me. O Lord have mercy on me, to God I commend my soul." Following her speech, she was blindfolded and led to the block where she repeatedly prayed, "To Jesus Christ I commend my soul. Lord Jesus receive my soul." As she placed her head on the stone, she began to cry and spoke her last words. Anne Boleyn did say "The executioner is, I believe, very expert, and my neck is very slender," but these were not her last words. She said this to Mr. Kingston, the Constable of the Tower, while being consoled by him on the day before her execution..

3)
Catherine of Aragon (1485-1536)
"Mine eyes desire thee only. Farewell." Catherine of Aragon was the daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella and the wife of Henry VIII. Although she bore a daughter, the couple could produce no male heir, so Henry asked the Pope for an annulment. When the Roman Church did not act quickly enough, Henry appointed Thomas Cranmer as the archbishop of Canterbury. Cranmer's first official act was to grant Henry the divorce he sought. Catherine was then stripped of her titles and denied the company of her daughter. Shortly before she died mysteriously in 1536, Catherine wrote Henry a letter that closed "Oculi mei te solum desiderant. Vale."

4)
Elizabeth I, Queen of England (1533-1603)
"All my possessions for a moment of time." Elizabeth I, the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, was the Queen of England from 1558 until her death in 1603. Her reign is famous for the glamour of her court as well as the success of her policies. By the end of her life she had outlived all of her friends, suitors, and enemies. She spent most of her last days in partial consciousness in a pile of pillows on her chamber floor but finally consented to be placed in her bed just before she died.

5)
Maria Theresa, Empress of Austria (1717-1780)
"No, but comfortable enough to die." Maria Theresa was the empress of Austria from 1740 until her death in 1780. She spent the last several days of her life propped up in a chair as she was unable to breath lying down. Her son, Joseph, attempted to comfort her after one especially painful spasm. "Your Majesty cannot be comfortable like that," he said rushing to her side for support. "No," replied the empress, "but comfortable enough to die." Maria Theresa died a few minutes later without any additional suffering.
