So my friends and I were discussing history, and one of us brought up Anne Boleyn. Before she was executed, she said a long prayer/speech, and I was wondering - why didn’t she try to run away or take action/fight back? People were so focused on her prayer, she probably could’ve done it. Thats just one example.
Because leaders ruled by fear in those days and there was more in general for people to fear (ex: superstitions, diseases) back then than there is now. A lot of punishments were cruel and involved torture or death.
