Not Afaik, And Definitely Not In 1533. Charles Vs Councilors Basically Said The Sum Of All Evidence/reports

Not afaik, and definitely not in 1533. Charles V’s councilors basically said the sum of all evidence/reports showed she was being housed ‘respectably’ for her station and that there was no justification that would merit invading England or cutting off trade with them.

There’s the words of KoA herself also, that her treatment was so poor it was ‘enough to shorten ten lives’ (letter to Charles V in 1531). I think the tendency from historians has been to consider those words as prescient and to take them at face value.

Is there a source other than Chapuys to legitimately suggest that KOA spent her final years living in something like squalor? As far as I know she was living comfortably, just not anything like a queen consort (which would have, understandably, been hard to adjust to after twenty years), but the story/popular belief that her living conditions contributed directly to her death persists.

“It was not only in life but in death as well that Nurbanu Sultan enjoyed extraordinary honors. Contrary to the custom whereby the sultan remained in the palace during a funeral, Murad accompanied his mother’s coffin on foot, weeping as he walked, to the mosque of Mehmed the Conqueror, where funeral prayers were said."  – Leslie P.

powerful enough to do both but NOT powerful enough to do anything else ,

every week i am subjected to musty takes about how anne was “powerless” and “politically limited” but then insistences that she was solely/primarily responsible for the “appalling” treatment of koa and mary
