That little gesture he gave the Lord, calling him to his side was brilliant. A commoner risen to great power, summoning a great Lord as if he was his servant !
The Duke of Norfok (Anne's uncle) was one of the old nobility who had resented Wolsey's rise to power. As I remember, he also resented Cromwell's rise.
I really enjoyed Claire Foy's Anne. While I am not really an Anne Boleyn champion since I prefer Katherine of Aragon (and I don't shoot down Anne, I just prefer Katherine), I find that she really captured the heat of Anne's passionate nature and her charismatic presence. She was charming, brilliant, and fashionable. Anne might not have been the most beautiful lady at court (though Ms. Foy is gorgeous), but she was the most intriguing and exotic with her French etiquette, European education, and her exquisite ensembles.
Anne Boleyn, as portrayed in this series (and in most others, come to that), is an ambitious, social-climbing, gold-digging, murderous and vindictive tart. In many ways, she was a female Henry VIII. Beautiful costumes cannot conceal a black heart. Henry, at least, was once much more affable and considered excellent company. His anger and bitterness were the result of his desperate search for an heir, marital troubles, and ultimately his own failing health. What was Anne's excuse?
@@shane99ca both were spoiled and also neglected. Henry was ignored by his father. Elizabeth of York spoiled him. Anne was groomed to marry the Butler cousin. Neither of them had any real discipline. Anne was unsuitable to be queen. She wasn't raised to it. Two spoiled narcissists are a toxic combo.
I agree, because it was said Anne was more french than English, so I like the fact that she was portrayed with more of a french accent and constantly speaking french, although I must admit Natalie Dormer was my favorite Anne.
I don't think it's a euphemism. It was expected of Anne, as a woman highly esteemed by King Henry, and also a woman who spent much of her life in the French court, to engage in a conversation with King Francis, for diplomatic reasons. But, of course, with the way Francis was handling her (at least as it was in the novel), it had overstepped the boundaries of diplomacy.
When I watched this scene I always wondered what the hell kind of man would try to steal Henry VIII's mistress. Then I read the books and realized it was meant to be the King of France haha, okay well I guess if you're the King of France you're one of three people alive who can try that shit.
I was pulling a number out of my ass for a joke but wow now that you mentioned it this was a crazy period in Europe. I'm looking it up and there aren't that many men on a level of power equal to Henry. Charles V was obviously like 10 times more powerful than Henry. And King of France as you mentioned. I guess Suleiman or the Pope would be the other two incredibly powerful men around if either of them wanted a crack, but for obvious reasons neither of them were openly hitting on the ladies of Western European courts (well Suleiman was if you count having pirates capture ladies for you) Hungary ceased to exist at this point, swallowed up by the Ottomans, Burgundy was consolidated under Charles V, Spain was consolidated under Charles V, Venice was getting hammered. James in Scotland is probably s tier down from Henry like Henry is a tier down from Charles.
@@HansenDing There was King John III of Portugal, Charles V's cousin and brother-in-law. Portugal was a very rich empire under his rule, though it started to decay by the end of his reign. Still, by that time, Portugal had more power as a kingdom than England. It wasn't until we lost our independency to Spain when Philip II inherited the crown that Portugal became weaker, especially when our previous allies became our enemies, such as England. And when Spain started losing power and influence to the Netherlands in the 17th century, we lost power too, so much that the portuguese nobles rebelled to restore our independency from Spain, under the rule of John IV, from the House of Braganza.
He was King of Spain, Germany Sicily Italy and controlled the low countries and was also technically master of the new World but he was never king of France. Francis I was King of France at this time and, despite France's relative weakness compared to Charles V, managed to often get the better of him.
@@Thelionpaladin I think you misread me, I meant Charles V AND the King of France (Francis) would have been on or greater than Henry in power, not that Charles V was King of France.
My favorite Elizabeth has been Cate Blanchette. Natalie is my favorite Anne, but I think this Anne is likely closer to the real one. But, 500 years after the fact, I get to pick and choose ;)
She meant Elizabeth the II in the Crown. I don't think this Anne is closer to the real Anne. They turned her into a 2 dimensional villain. Natalie's Anna, depiste the show incurracies, was a much more complex character... and I believe probably a bit more closer to the real Anne.
@@AnzuBrief Claire Foy looks a lot more like the historical Anne Boyleyn, even down to her er- flat chestedness. That's part of the genius of this series, the actors cast actually LOOK something like their historical counterparts. I agree that this Anne lacks charm, but I don't think she's one dimensional and there is some evidence for vindictiveness on her part. Nor was she well liked by the country at large.
Thomas Brodie-Sangster is a fine actor: he played Paul McCartney in _Nowhere Boy_, a wonderful film about John Lennon's teen years, his relationship with his mother, Julia (Anne-Marie Duff, who is excellent) and the formation of the Beatles. Recommended.
@@iuliusconstantcornelio2018 I think what Wisedupearly meant was that the King of France was not just any man. And look at the body language. The King of France is holding her hand and having what looks like an intimate chat. Henry is quite jealous. Cromwell read the situation well.
@@iuliusconstantcornelio2018 Addition: the very powerful Duke of Norfolk was Anne's uncle (his sister Elizabeth was Anne's mother). Henry was Anne's husband, but Norfolk (or Anne's father Thomas) would not hesitate to say something.
The King of France. Norfolk is angry because they think she's too flirtatious, and Henry is jealous. It was the 16th century - a woman couldn't even smile and hold a conversation without being accused of scandal.
@@oceanpoem219 Dare to partially disagree- even in the 16th century, it was common and even expected of court ladies to flirt with men. However, the danger laid in the thin line between lighthearted flirting and scandal. But you are right stating that her flirt was a bit too much. If I am mistaken- feel free to correct me :)
So she played Anne Boleyn, Queen Victoria and Elizabeth II. She did a good job but Natalie Dormer did better for Anne. She was just amazing, she brought Anne to life again. She was perfect for that role and I don't think anyone could ever compare to her.
Can't wait to see the next book of Wolf Hall and another Series where it picks off with Jane Seymour and continues on this is awesome series I don't know how many times I've wash it I own it on DVD + seeing it on Netflix and Amazon
Very great scene! I love the played bassadanza so much, sounds amazing. A amazing acoustic glory at the court. And a bitchy Ann. I love her playing from 1:16. Searching for help like a little girl.
I have watched Wolf Hall a few times already. Love it. I just wondered why in this version of Ann not once did she wear her signature necklace with the B on it. Anyone out there know why? I'm so curious about this.
Lee Rdee in one of the scenes Anne does wear it before she's married to Henry but she's never really wearing it because she stopped wearing it after she married Henry
Love this series on Masterpiece Theatre in the USA. I can't wait till Second Season is presented. Love British shows especially on PBS with Masterpiece Theatre: in the winter-summer shows literature, history shows, fall-winter Mystery
It is indeed the nave of Gloucester Cathedral but the west window is all wrong. What we see here is an insertion. An off -side view of the upper parts of the huge east window ( Crecy Window ) with its gorgeously drawn figures.
*We all know the BBC would NEVER create a masterpiece like this again....that is to say... in the same , "authentic" manner with "certain characters" that historicity speaking, should not be there. They have become too woke. I think you know what I am referring to !*
This scene is filmed in Gloucester Cathedral nave. It is a beautiful building and well worth a visit. I notice that the Victorian glass has been edited out of the window and 'replaced' with the much older glass of the Crécy window from the same cathedral's quire. I love this attention to detail but notice that the film makers had a difficult job getting it to 'fit' and ended up chopping off some of the panels😂
This show was based on the first and second books, the second called 'Bring up the bodies'. The second book ends with the execution of Anne Boleyn in 1536. But the show has the title of the first book 'Wolf Hall'. The third book has yet to be released since it has been delayed till 2019, and God knows when the fourth and final book will be released.
There is a clip on here somewhere that mentions how the outfits were made--in the same way they were made then. There is also another clip that takes place after Katherine's death. Henry and Anne are dressed in yellow, which was the color of mourning in Spain.
The dress’ structure is pretty accurate, and it is said she and Henry wore yellow after Catherine’s death, so the color may have been possible, more often though gowns in this period were black or other darker colors, pastels were not common. Her hairstyle and headband combo is not accurate whatsoever. Veils were never sheer, they were almost always made opaque, black material. Her “French hood” in this scene just looks a bejeweled headband from the mall. In reality, French hoods were larger and covered the ears and much more of the hair than what is depicted in this scene. Some accurate examples of French hoods can be found in portraits from this general time period, the 1530s-1540s.
Beáta Hodorová ~ It is track #8, but it's actually not the soundtrack CD. It's the 'Wolf Hall: The Tudor Music' CD. It is posted here on YT in it's entirety, and the tracks are also posted individually. Enjoy. :-)
well Anne wasn't that good of a politician as her predecessor (Catherine) was and even her family kept telling her to be more like Catherine, a politician as well as a loving wife. Anne in this show is politician and has the same temper that she was said to have. And and the joke that she made she made out of fear, I mean she was just told that she was going to beheaded she was obviously scared and was kinda going crazy like a normal person would !
This is how good the BBC should be. A pitch perfect scene from a real piece of art.
Sadly a rare gem. We may not see it's like again.
***** Heh heh. Good point. ;-)
@@rockheimr They are filming the final instalment as I write.

The Duke of Norfok (Anne's uncle) was one of the old nobility who had resented Wolsey's rise to power. As I remember, he also resented Cromwell's rise.
Kingdoms usually ran on the backs of great men who never needed to be told what they were.

This is a phenomenal series, and Mark Rylance's performance throughout leaves me breathless.
this Anne Boleyn feel more real than any other Anne Boleyn I have seen.
Claire Foy played Anne. (All the actors were first-rate.)
Not even Natalie or Genevieve Bujold?
@@thomascunningham5483 She's played two queens now. Her acting for Anne Boleyn probably helped her get into character for Elizabeth II.
@@AmethystEyes Genevieve Bujold's Anne was a spoiled teenager. In reality, Anne was in her thirties when she died.
I agree, because it was said Anne was more french than English, so I like the fact that she was portrayed with more of a french accent and constantly speaking french, although I must admit Natalie Dormer was my favorite Anne.
The actor who played King Henry the 8th was so good he looked jealous a very good actor
he won an emmy for the lead role in homeland.
He captain Dick Winters!!!
Bobby Axelrod
He also looks a bit like the young Henry, the ginger hair of course helps.
I saw him the first time 1995 at >Agatha Christies Poirot - Hickory Dickory Dock< in which he played a young student called Leonard Bateson
"She's done enough diplomacy" is a euphemism I'm going to have to use someday.

Claire Foy as Anne Boleyn,wilful,haughty,vindictive and utterly mesmerising what a performance!

Just so!
How about Captain Winters as King Henry?
...an as Bran starks bodyguard watches on, [next to the column]
He’s trying to become her new dancing master of course.
This is the BEST series.
One of the best series ever produced. Not as detailed and expansive as the novels but a world unto their own
Even though he hasn't had a single line in this clip, I'm a bit surprised that no one is mentioning Thomas Brodie-Sangster
Kaetlynn Gabrielle Romero until now :p
Thomas Brodie-Sangster is a fine actor: he played Paul McCartney in _Nowhere Boy_, a wonderful film about John Lennon's teen years, his relationship with his mother, Julia (Anne-Marie Duff, who is excellent) and the formation of the Beatles. Recommended.
he got fire bombed by his sister beside a werewood tree.

Was looking for Tom Holland but then I found THOMAS BRODIE SANGSTER😍

Wonderful scene, in the nave of beautiful Gloucester Cathedral, such a fabulous and special place.
One of the best shows I have seen in sometime. Watching it again on Netflix ;-)
Is that Netflix UK? It was never on Netflix when I went looking.
Yes Netflix UK. If it is not in your zone you will find it via an Internet search.
Oh Anne, I wish I could of met you. An I bet Claire plays you with the right spirit overall.
"My lady we shall dance"? I don't think so mate. On ye bike pal.
Caroline Lynch Norfolk was Anne's uncle.
Say no and he'll chew your bollocks off. 😂
That is no man, that is the King of France. Henry's jealousy was aroused and only marriage would assuage the hurt.

3rd Episode was good, Wolf Hall's starting to take some momentum. Look forward how this BBC adaptation pans out.
Neither Henry or Anne were brought up to rule. People become bullies when they cannot function. Elizabeth if York spoiled Henry.
Who was Anne talking to, and why is Norfolk so angry? Henry is also watching.... And was Norfolk about to hit her?

The ideal of Anne trying to slap her uncle the Duke particularly when among the rest of the court seems really far fetched.
