The Rack That Tore Her Joints and Sent Him to the Stake

A chain circles her waist, not her wrists, because her shoulders have already been pulled from their sockets and she cannot stand. Beside her at Smithfield burns a man whose entire presence in the historical record amounts to little more than his name. Why does one death survive in exhaustive detail while the other all but vanishes?
In this episode, we lay out the events that put both Anne Askew and John Adams at Smithfield and the political strategy that engineered their deaths, asking what the traditionalist faction at Henry VIII's court hoped to gain by torturing minor evangelicals and how far up the chain of power that scheme was meant to reach.
Person: Anne Askew and John Adams
Location: Smithfield, London
Date: 16 July 1546
Case: conviction for heresy over the doctrine of the Eucharist
Status: executed by burning at the stake alongside two other condemned men
- Anne Askew was twenty-five years old when she was executed on 16 July 1546.
- Four people were burned at three stakes at Smithfield that morning: Anne Askew, John Adams, John Lassells, and Nicholas Belenian (also recorded as John Hemsley).
- Askew was examined on 19 June 1546 by Thomas Kyme, Stephen Gardiner, John Dudley, and Sir William Paget, and was racked in the White Tower by Kyme and Sir Richard Rich after Lieutenant Anthony Knyvett refused to continue.
- She was convicted of heresy on 18 June 1546 and, according to John Foxe's account, was secured upright at the stake with a chain because her shoulders, elbows, and knees had been dislocated.
- Askew's own account, smuggled from Newgate Prison, reached the exiled writer John Bale, who published it, and it was later drawn on by John Foxe in his Acts and Monuments of 1563.
