Was Ann Boleyn's execution public or private?
May 19, 1536, 8 o'clock in the morning
Although in her trial she denied all charges brought against her of adultery, incest and conspiracy to murder the king, Anne accepted her fate. Anne's execution took place on Tower Green, a more secluded spot, where the number of people gathered could be controlled -- just in case Anne would dishonor the king in her farewell speech. Anne, however, would not take that opportunity. Instead she was dignified to the end. This was the first public execution of an English queen.

Was there a real princess from Russia named Anastasia?
There were several Princesses named Anastasia in Russia. The most famous one was the fourth daughter of Nicholas II, the last Russian Tsar. Her full title was Her Imperial Highness The Grand Duchess Anastasia Nicolaievna of Russia (b. June 18, 1901, believed to have died July 17, 1918.)
After the Imperial family was executed in 1918 there have been several people who claimed to be Anastasia, but they either lacked proof, or were proven to be impostors.
Recent archaeological research in July and August 2007 at the execution site in Ekaterinburg, Russia discovered remains believed to be those of Anastasia. DNA testing results from DNA submitted by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, first cousin to the children of the Tsar and Empress, have proven the remains are those of two of the Tsar's children.
The male remains were those of the Tsarevitch Alexei, while the female ones were initially believed to be Anastasia, but were proven to be s sister Grand Duchess Marie.
Anastasia's fate remains uncertain. However, it most likely is nothing like the various fictional accounts.

What year did Marie Laveau die?
She died June 16, 1881 at the age of 79, in New Orleans, Louisiana. The local newspapers reported her passing on June 16th, but Marie Laveau actually died on June 15, 1881 at her cottage on Rue St. Anne between Burgundy and Rampart Streets in Vieux Carré (French Quarter). Her death certificate (Vol. 78, Page 1113, Orleans Parish) listed her age as 98. A recent discovery of a Baptismal Record in the New Orleans Archdiocesan Archives is now generally accepted as being her's and gives her date of birth as September 10, 1801. This would have made her aged 79 at the time of her death. A copy of Marie Laveau's Death Certificate is on display at the New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum, 724 Dumaine Street, New Orleans, LA (www.voodoomuseum.com).

Which king took over before queen Jane grey's death?
When Henry VIII died in 1547, he was succeeded by his 9 year old son, Edward VI. Because of Edward's age, his uncle Edward Seymour (Duke of Somerset) made himself protector and took control. Together with Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, Seymour was determined to make the country Protestant. An Act of Uniformity was proclaimed and a new English Prayer Book produced in 1549. There were some protests and rebellion against this, and the Earl of Warwick, John Dudley, put down the rebellions and were also involved in a power struggle with Edward Seymour, ultimately leading to Seymour's arrest and eventual execution. Dudley became the Duke of Northumberland and took control after Seymour's downfall. Edward VI was never very strong health wise, and it became apparent that he was suffering from tuberculosis and would not live very long. Northumberland seized his chance to persuade the king to name Lady Jane Grey (Northumberland's daughter in law) as his successor, as she was descended from Henry VII the first Tudor king, through her grandmother Princess Mary Rose Tudor, younger sister of Henry VIII. But more importantly she was Protestant, whereas the true successor, Mary Tudor, Henry VIII's oldest daughter, was a staunch Catholic. Edward died on 6 July 1553 and Jane Grey became queen for only 9 days, when support for Mary became overwhelmingly strong, as people wanted to see the rightful heir upon the throne. Lady Jane, her husband, father and father-in-law were all imprisoned and eventually executed under the reign of the new monarch, Mary I.
