Jun 6 2008, 9:01 PM EDT "If anyone knows the answer to this, feel free to post it here."In his book "Thomas Cranmer: A Life" Historian Diarmaid MacCulloch raises, only to dismiss, the rumour that she was kept in a box. however he does say that Margaret, the second Mrs. Cranmer, must have lived in England so secretly that even her husband's most bitter opponents never learned of her existence. Perhaps the box was used as symbolic of that fact? 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |
