This video is about Anne Askew, the Tudor woman who was illegally stretched on the rack in the Tower of London until her tendons snapped. Kevin Hicks explores who Anne Askew was, and what series of events led her to be tortured and then burned at the stake in 1546. Anne Askew was one of only two women to have been tortured at the Tower of London.
