Very interesting, thoroughly enjoyed 💛✨

Same actress in Call The Midwife first series

If Anne really was the intemperate woman they show her as, then I don’t think it would be hard to believe that Jane would have been telling stories on her. In fact, I can’t imagine that a lot those ladies liked Anne much if she really was the wrathy hothead she’s usually portrayed as

❤

Thank you I enjoyed the video. Look forward to more

Jane's main target of vitriol was her husband George, Anne's sibling. In any account I have ever read George couldn't/wouldn't stop straying - maybe Jane's bitterness got the better of her and she simply took things too far? And when something has been said it cannot be unsaid.

The best character in Hilary Mantel's Cromwell books.

I like the rendition of Lady Rochford here, as well as Jane Seymour, more so than the Tudors LOL. I was just rewatching the Tudors earlier and I just realize how 'campy' it felt, although I have to admit, the actors are gorgeous lol.

I liked Wolf Hall, and they did so much so well-certainly they could have done a better job on the dresses and particularly the head dresses -good God. It’s a sight better than “The Tudors In Vegas”. I know it may open people’s eyes to that historic period which is good. I read the Mantel series. I think they did a pretty good job of condensing that weighty series. The boots bugged me, but I know for the modern audience they felt they needed to “man it up”. The true foot ware would be too panseyish.

I loved your book. Thank you!!

Feb 13 was a Friday that year...

Love this version of Lady Rochford! Sooooo goood!!!!!

sorry sir .... i believe she was totally used as an enticement .., attractive , vivacious .... a young girl who loves attention / flattery .... at the whim of her ' masters ' .... and her relations ..... and then !!!!!!! King Henry starts to fancy her ...,, SHIT !!!!!! it turns out that girls actually quite like getting fondled ( if it's true that she dallied after her wedding) .. l for one can't blame her ..,.., although some extra degree of NOT LETTING EVERYONE know might've helped ...... thanks for your input anyway ..... mx

Such a sexy woman

I would like to have discussions about who the executioners were who did the deed of ending the lives of the queens and nobles in the Tudor times. Were they part of the royal guards or royal army? I think this would be interesting conversation.

As the second cousin of Ann Boleyn, how did the similarity (or differences?) between she and Ann play a part? Was there anything like a close resemblance and/or a similarity of temperament?

Didn’t Cranmer interview Katherine at Syon House, not Hampton Court? Love your channel, subscribed 😀

I bought your book -- & it's excellent! Thoroughly researched and well written. I particularly appreciate your abundant use of Primary Sources.

would it be possible. to do a video about the countess daubney *lady catherine howard*...

lady nee grey ..jane dudley * her husband lord dudley...

lady nee parker *her mother of st john* the maternal family of henry 7th...

is it boleyn, or bulen,,, some heraldry with a Bull?

This was one of the best videos on Anne Boleyn on TH-cam I've listened to in a very long time! Well done! ❤

This was wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

I appreciated the discussion as a student of English History and tourist to London, other key-sites, and Europe. I recall walking along the haunted galley holding my husband hand even on a sunny afternoon.Thanks for the Great Q & A.

This actress,Jessica Rain, I think, did a great job as Lady Rochford. Well I heard she’s out as the actress for that role in part 2 which is filming now. Bad call I think. Oh well. They should stick to the original actors if they want to rival I Claudius. Too late.

Great paper!

I think Wolf Hall gets it right. Anne was not a nice woman. Many people died. Anne wanted to kill Mary, and Catherine. She theatened Cromwell first. Queen Anne was unpopular.

The indictment against Catherine does not cite adultery rather it says that Catherine taking Dereham into her service once she became Queen was proof that she meant to return to her “evil”ways.

This is one of those series I watched over and over again. To understand it as completely as possible as well as enjoying it. Throughout the series Jane was always disdainful of Anne, even as she performed her duties for her.

Yes…Anne of a thousand days got me hooked on the Tudors …Genevieve Bujold and Richard Burton best Anne and Henry pairing ever…

Is this being read by a computer? There are some odd mispronunciations. "Th" is often pronounced "f" and the word "gaoler" is pronounced as it is spelled instead of as the English say it, "jailer."

A bottom line is, Katherine was a married woman and adultery, or the appearance of such, was unacceptable. What would have happened to her if she was married to a tradesman or a peasant, and her husband learned she was meeting men in secret and writing compromising letters? How many errant, or merely accused, wives were beaten or killed within the ranks of commoners? King Henry just had the ability to create a spectacle of the punishment.

Dr Taffe, why is Annes signature so different on the account books, to when she signed "Anne the daughter of Cleeves" in her letter to Henry VIII? It seems like a totaly different hand.

What an incredible interview. Such thoughtful questions and no interruptions. Of course I now have to read the book!

It doesn't make sense that Jane would have initiated reports that would bring down the Boleyn family because that family was her identity. I thought I understood that sometimes it was necessary to witness against others in order to demonstrate loyalty to the king. It would make more sense if Jane began telling tales when she realized the situation was dire and her choice was to go down with Anne and George, or to try to salvage an identity of her own. She may also have been threatened with a terrible punishment alongside her in-laws.

There wasn't any evidence she spoke against her husband & Anne also she sent a caring letter to George her husband remember she would be pulled down as well ie being married to a traitor

The hottest Lady Rocheford.

I wish someone would portray Jane as she is described in history. A help mate to Anne.

The same actress did an equally, if not even better job playing Catherine Parr in Becoming Elizabeth.

That actress plays Catherine Parr in becoming Elizabeth.

She's a wicked lady betrayed her husband and betrayed Anne which she paid dearly later with her life.

The actors playing the role as Jane Boleyn is the same actress who played the role of Cathrine Parr in becoming Elizabeth so it looks like Anne Boleyn vs Catherine Parr too me lol

I have enjoyed his book so much that I read it more than once. ❤ She could have lied about who made her that flower. She was honest. It's Rochford I wonder at. She never was far from trouble. I wanted to be Kat's friend by the end to be honest. To stand up to a stalker is admirable. When I think of her in that cold place in February it breaks my heart. My birthday is around then and it's a bleak time even in America. She's fully human because of your work honestly.

Punching some of those wages up on the currency converter and £20 is ~ 8-10k yr....i guess considering all food clothing and lodging was paid for this is alright but i had imagined more in my mind...

Little youtube historical gems💎 ...while the commentary on the dialogues is very unique and well presented The illustration of Anne and Kingston from 1853 is fantastic...love seeing older paintings of years gone by

Enjoyed this, some early relevant commentary followed by letting a scene play out almost entirely before commenting further, a rarity today...please, more introspection

On further analysis, what in the world was she thinking. Truly her “crimes” did not warrant the death penalty, however, was she aware of the monster she was married to? If only she was able to wait a few years, she would have all that she desired. Love, power, and possibility a long life was hers for the taking. My heart aches for her.

been without Elizabeth I? Remove that part of the story. What you're left with is a queen who ousted a loyal, kind, much loved Queen, loved by all her companions and people. Anee was disliked by everyone (except Henry for awhile) even her father, aunt, ladies, uncle, everyone. She didn't even try to be kind or do nice things other than required) instead she adopted the phrase “Aisi sera groigne qui groigne” (Let them grumble; that is how it is going to be) She as cruel besides, wanting Mary beaten and Queen Catherine poisoned. Given her personally I believe she was guilty of adultery maybe not five but there was something that changed quickly and something bad. Without Queen Elizabeth I, I'm not sure we would know much about her maybe as a footnote. Those around Elizabeth and wanting to please her began to rewrite her mother's story and called her "saintly" thought it seems Elizabeth didn't want to push the story too far. I still wonder what if Anne Boleyn died childless? What then?
