Dear Diary,

My name is Anne Askew and I was born in Lancaster, England. I am the youngest child of six children, Francis, Edward, Martha, Jane, and my two stepbrothers, Christopher and Thomas. One day, my father decided to get Martha married to a wealthy prince, but tragically, my sister died shortly after. Then, my father wanted to keep the money so he made me take the place of my sister, so I married Thomas Kyme, the prince. I am a devout Protestant, and everyday I study the bible and memorize many verses. There is one problem though; my husband is Catholic but I was able to have two children before Thomas kicked me out for my beliefs. So now I moved to London and met my friend Joan Bocher. I used my maiden name instead of my husband's name and I preached to many people.

Dear Diary,

Then, one day, I was walking to the market, when somebody started staring at the books that I was holding. At first I just thought it was just a beggar that was interested in more than what he had, but then I looked again and the man was walking towards me. As casually as I could, I sped up the pace of my walking. Then before I know it, a firm hand grasps my arm from the back. I struggle to yell as he puts something over my mouth. I realized that this man was my husband! After a bumpy ride, I ended up at my old house back at lancaster. Then I was seated in my old family room. Apparently, i was being arrested because one of the books i was holding was written by a heretic who was tortured.

Dear Diary,

I escaped from my arrest but then I got arrested again. Thankfully, I was released this time after 12 long days in prison. Then, I was arrested a third time, because I refused to divulge my friendship with Anne Stanhope, Edward Seymour's wife. Then ,I was tortured. But I have always and will always be a protestant. So when I did not change my beliefs, I was burned at the stake. Emma s24 (talk) 20:05, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
