May 27 - Margaret Pole's botched execution

📜 On This Day in Tudor History, May 27, 1541: Execution of Margaret Pole 📜 On May 27, 1541, the frail sixty-seven-year-old Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury, was executed at the Tower of London. Margaret, daughter of George, Duke of Clarence, and Lady Isabella Neville, had been imprisoned for treason due to her family's alleged plotting and correspondence with her son, Cardinal Reginald Pole, an enemy of King Henry VIII. Despite denying involvement in treason, Margaret was stripped of her titles and imprisoned in the Tower. She was initially well-treated, but her situation changed suddenly in May 1541, leading to her execution. Margaret's execution was a grim event. The imperial ambassador, Eustace Chapuys, reported the botched execution, noting that the inexperienced executioner hacked her to pieces. Another story, from the 17th century, claims Margaret refused to submit, resulting in a gruesome chase. Though this tale is likely exaggerated, it adds to the lore surrounding her death. Margaret was buried in the Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula at the Tower of London and was beatified by Pope Leo XIII in 1886, becoming Blessèd Margaret Pole. Also on this day in history, 27th May 1537, there were celebrations in England for the pregnancy of Queen Jane Seymour.
