Ma neppure lui poteva immaginare quale sarebbe stato il futuro della ragazza che, dopo aver infiammato il cuore del re Enrico VIII, lo sposò nel 1533 e gli diede una figlia, Elisabetta, destinata a diventare la più grande regina della storia inglese.

This was a dark gallery where patients selected by Sargant were subjected to deep narcosis, sleeping for more than twenty-one hours per day for weeks at a time, and roused only for sessions of electroconvulsive therapy.
