There appears to be a discrepancy involving Elizabeth Barton's date of death. The Wikipedia Article lists it as being April 20. However, the Talk Page on Edward Bocking states it was April 21. Edward Bocking was executed on the same day as Barton. The Britannica & several other sources list it as April 21. What are your thoughts on this? Michael David23:59, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The statement that the film A Man For All Seasons took liberties with the relative dates of death of Thomas More and Elizabeth Barton and that the latter actually witnessed the former's execution is contradicted by the Catholic Encyclopedia which gives Barton's date of execution as 20 April 1534 and More's as 6 July 1535, over a year later. Therefore she couldn't have witnessed his death. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MartyMolloy (talk • contribs) 22:29, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Anne Boleyn also visited Elizabeth Barton once in her lifetime. She asled her to prophesy for her. Barton came back with the prediction the Anne would have a happy marriage to Henry the VIII, and bear him a son. Reassured by this projection, Anne shared this news with Henry, and they were both fortified in their quest for marriage and an annulment of the marriage between Henry and Katherine of Aragon. Up until this point, Henry had been losing heart, and this prophesy was a huge part of what made him decide to keep pursuing a divorce. Therefore, however indirectly, the "Mad Nun of Kent" contributed to the downfall of Anne Boleyn (her prediction of a son never came to be, which ultimately led to Anne's execution by the sword), and the separation of England from the Catholic Church.

I placed a public domain image of Sister Elizabeth Barton into the article. The image was published in 1835 making it public domain. Prsaucer1958 (talk) 00:00, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
