I love how in Movies and Reenactments they always show Henry as a thin good looking man, then you see his actual portraits and he looks like the fat uncle at the family Reunion no one likes.
Harmony Mitcham This was his earlier days, during his youth(start of reign) he was very tall and good looking man, later one he became obese and that’s when they did his portrait.
When he married Anne he still looks good it was only after his infamous head injury that he stopped doing jousting and started piling on weight. Anne Boleyn was on her second pregnancy at that time and she miscarriaged because of that event.
That’s because in his youth he was seen as Handsome, tall and physically fit. It wasn’t until his jousting accident that he bagan to become the obese gout ridden man we recognise from later portraits
His illness also slowed him down.He had gout disease that made him had bad body odour...ewww.Puss oozed out his feet alot.yuck.
We all start somewhere. Then life and age kicks in.
Ann had the last laugh given that she gave birth to one of the greatest monarchs in english history
aesthxtic sunnies exactly
true , Henry didnt need a male heir he had Elizabeth .
The ultimate revenge but alas, Elizabeth always lauded Catherine Parr but rarely mentioned her mother for fear of being deemed a bastard. Who knows how Elisabeth thought about her mother.
No, Margaret had the last laugh, the stuarts took over.
But never lived to see it
He WAS indeed obsessed with me
yooooo
Are you a ghost
Oh shit
Oh gosh-
Sub majesty
Imagine having your love letters and personal diaries published and analyzed by millions of people for the rest of time.

What do you think a Presidential Library is all about?
My book would be boring to some, I married and truly live happily ever after!
To some people that's a goal. They want to be remembered instead of spending eternity lying forgotten in yet another unmarked grave.

Hello six fan!!!
Henry knew Ann never betrayed him, he just wanted to be rid of her.
True. He realized the threat Ann was being an educated, well opininionated lady
@@melodyg6702 She wasn't raised for that role so she handled him badly in a lot of cases. Throwing tantrums and such, A nut case like Henry would never tolerate that. Katherine of Aragon was raised a princess so she knew when to keep her mouth shut.
@Maya You must go thru face cream like crazy.
@Maya your related to Anne boleyn? Or related to the person who originally replied to this comment?
Maya lmao ok
Obsession is correct. Because that's all it was. A temporary obsession. Henry never loved her. When he finally married her, he quickly tired of her
Her daughter Queen Elizabeth I accomplished everything Anne could not. She would have been so proud of the amazing matriarch her daughter had become. A successful, strong Queen for 40 years, and beholden to no man. Anne’s strength, intelligence and cleverness were clearly displayed in Elizabeth’s personality and character.
She would’ve been so proud of her daughter
So true he didn't think once about how the kids would feel about the fact that the mother didn't see them grow no mom experience or that there father is the reason the mother died quite sad Elizabeth and Anne most likely would have been great friends and a great mother daughter bond
There's a conspiracy theory that suggest Elizabeth is actually a man... the illegitimate son of Henry & Anne's sister Mary.
Yon Slash BS!
You just saved me from my homework.
This is why Elizabeth wanted no man. She wanted to make her mother proud❤️
And she did just that and had an age named after her.
she really was incredible, and so was her sister. I dont believe they were great because of Henry, but because of their mothers. Of course, Mary killed Protestants in such a large number, but the in formation we have about her is very much biased. A Protestant's book is one of the only sources we have of Mary. Elizabeth and Mary both made their mothers proud
I think she was afraid of men. Rightfully so!
Elizabeth’s father would call her no manes Elizabeth
@@zaimarind3930 Mary having Protestants murdered is an unbiased fact. She wasn’t dubbed “Bloody Mary” for no reason.
Anne may have given a child that Henry didn't want, but she (Elizabeth) was the child he needed. She ushered England into its Golden Age and making it one of the most powerful nations in 16th century Europe.
Mostly because of her advisor, John Dee who conjured up spirits from other realms that gave their warships information before anyone else knew what was going to happen. Read the book< Whisperers The Secret History of the Spirit World by J. H. Brennan. Britain had the advantage.
No one who truly loves someone feels okay with murdering them. Henry didn't love her, and to push that narrative is a dangerous sentiment. Henry Lusted for Anne. Plain and simple. He was willing to wait because she was beautiful, and the fact that she was literally "hard to get" probably only served to make the prospect more exiting.
Exiting?
Ellen lmao whoops. *exciting
I don't think Anne Boleyn was particularly beautiful. Certainly, she wasn't ugly, but she wasn't considered a court beauty. Anne's dark hair, darker complexion, thin frame, nose, and small breasts were not the ideal of beauty, in those days. The nose and small breasts are not the ideal of feminine beauty today, either. What was attractive about her was her charisma and her untouchability. Men who had been with plenty of women - like Thomas Wyatt, and the king - wouldn't pursue just any woman. Anne stoked their attraction through her teasing, her coquettishness, and, probably, a suggestion that she _would_ be up for it, if only that were possible. Anne grew up at the court of France, and that country's licentiousness (a reputation which persists unto this day) permeated the court (headed by the cocksman, Francis I). It was an excellent training ground for the art of seduction. Anne would also have seen how easily the _maîtresse du jour_ was cast off, and taken a lesson from it.
And lust does end.
I do believe that king Henry had STDs And passed it on to his wife and "lovers" that's why his wife and "lovers" couldn't qive healthy babies
He actually had 2 out of his 5 children live to adulthood.
Henry, his first son with Catherine of Aragon, died suddenly as an infant in 1511. Infant mortality was high in those days so it wasn’t uncommon for a baby to die suddenly. He was 56 days old.
Mary I, his first daughter with Catherine of Aragon, was born in 1516 and died at the age of 42 in 1558. She was the queen of England and Ireland from 1553 until her death after her brother Edward VI died and is best known by her nickname “Bloody Mary”. She was succeeded by Elizabeth.
Henry Fitzroy, son with mistress Elizabeth Blount. Henry was born in 1519 and died in 1536 at the age 17 of from the sweating sickness.
Elizabeth I, daughter with Anne Boleyn. She was born in 1533 and died in 1603 at the age 69 of from what we know today as lead poisoning. She was queen of England and Ireland after Mary died until her death. She never married and was celebrated for her virginity, leaving no heirs.
Edward VI, son with Jane Seymour. He was born in 1536 and died in 1553 at the age of 15. He was the King of England and Ireland until his death and was succeeded by Mary.
Amanda Kalchik I read a theory once that Anne had rhesus disease which is a disease that causes the mothers body to think that the baby is a virus that must be killed. It happens when the mothers and the fathers blood mix together. The first child lives (Elizabeth in this case) but every other child after that would die
I used to think this but now I disagree, only because some of his other confirmed mistresses (like Elizabeth Blount) went on to have multiple other children by other men. If he had an std his mistresses would’ve gotten it as well and would’ve had the same fertility problems his wives had even after they were no longer mistresses. I think it makes more sense that Henry had Kell-positive blood and after the first baby the wives bodies produced antibodies that would attack any other pregnancies (by him).
There is zero evidence that he had STD. His bodily function was so well documented that there is nothing to show he had an STD
@@andyisamazin8037 I have that, it's quite scary. I have a super low chance of my second child surviving, luckily my first has my blood type which is RH -A
A documentary that finally shows that Anne Boleyn was more than just some schemer or fool but rather a very complex individual and an intelligent woman during a time where it was still dangerous to be just that (gladly her daughter left a huge impression on the world two decades later)
Lol
She was smart, but she played with the wrong one. All he wanted was a son, and he would elevate anyone who would give him one!
Queen Elizabeth may not have ever known her mother but she was so much like her. Elizabeth was somewhat a little like her dad but very very much like her mother and when she reached adulthood and was Queen and in a place of authority and power where she could speak her mind openly, Elizabeth let it rip. Elizabeth was not like that prior to becoming a monarch because she was just a woman and women weren't placee highly at that time. The council wanted her to marry after she took the throne and she told them that she will have no Masters!😂😂😂 Elizabeth only answered to God and she rightly told them so and knew herself that she had she married and had a king consort he would have rivaled her power as a man when he wasn't even Royal most likely. Elizabeth wanted to focus on building a royal Navy which her father first dreamt, & she wanted to Serve the People. Think of how it is when married and we are trying to please spouses and children and do our jobs which doesn't always leave a lot of time for Much else and Elizabeth place the People First.
I love how she would laugh out loud and her mother and father did that so heartily. She didn't do it before becoming Queen but she definitely did it afterwards and would laugh in the faces of suitors who were trying to marry her. Elizabeth was amused.
@calihartley2010 wow!! I didn't even think about that possibility but it could be true!! I don't see how people could have had so much safe sex back then because STDs were rampant and pregnancy was as well. They didn't have condoms in the only thing they could do was pull out and women can still get pregnant that way. It wouldn't surprise me if Elizabeth had at least two children and all of her years because she was sexually active and had several lovers, and especially Robert Dudley. If she could have managed to pull off a pregnancy and not show and go into hiding around the last two or three months of her pregnancy, it is possible. When I had my daughter I know I could tell I was pregnant at 4 to 6 months old but many people couldn't tell because I had a waste line up until I went into labor. From the back you couldn't tell I was pregnant and the people I worked with notice that I didn't get bigger until my last 2 months. My son I was like the same way but even smaller and I had him a couple weeks early. It's very possible she could have been pregnant and hit away the last couple months and complained about not feeling well and then secretly got someone to take the babies and have them adopted out. Interesting!!
Montre' Louise Bohon-Harris i thought they used sheep skin condoms then?
How could you say “its the sweetest” when he is a married man writing to other woman? it was extra marital affair not some romantic story. A story of an obsessed man who destroyed lives of many women.
You are completely right. Henry was a total nightmare of a man. However, it’s important to know that Catherine and Henry were separated around that time (based on my research, i could be wrong tho).
@@charlotte_742 You're both right and wrong.
Henry and Catherine were separated by the time he wanted to marry Anne, but not at the time he wanted to sleep with her. His original plan was to have her as a temporary mistress. Sleep with her and then throw her away like he had done with her sister Mary. However, a few months after he decided to get a divorce from Katherine (because of the lack of a son from her and her not being able to bear anymore children at that point), Anne said that she would only sleep with someone she was married to. So he decided to marry her, because he couldn't take no for an answer. Before Anne told him this, Henry was thinking of marrying a French princess after divorcing Catherine. This would have been an arranged marriage unlike his marriage to Catherine, who he chose to marry
Amen! I’m glad I’m not the only one frustrated by how romantically this affair was portrayed.
You are right! The forbidden is more attractive…
Catherine of Aragon was likely an arranged political union. She was always meant to be Arthur's wife, he died, Henry wound up heir, replete with big brother's wife. As much as we'd all like to point the finger at him, let's all agree for once that marriage in the 1500's was rarely a love match - especially amongst royalty. Hell, we'd cringe at marrying off a 15 year old like Richard II and Ann of Bohemia (or after Ann died, a 6 year old Isabella of Valois to a 28 year old, only to leave her a widow at 12). Marriage was for duty and continuing the line, there was little regard for love matches.
They say Anne Boleyn was NOT beautiful at all. In fact i read somewhere she was quite plain BUT it was her sharp wit and intelligence that gave her her charm and ultimately made her win Henry's affection from her much more beautiful sister.
Beauty isn’t only seen by the eyes
Yea I remember when one guy in a pub said to me that I had very bad face because I didn't look like Mona Lisa. I have very sharp cheekbones and jawline. He looked like Paul McCartney himself.
@@innerview6298haha.joke of the day. Monalisa with no eyebrow 😂
She was called “pretty”, her features. Of course her personality and wit added so much more in. She wasn’t “quiet plain”, Henry’s 3rd wife Jane Seymour was called “Plain Jane” since she didn’t have the looks or personality that Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn had. Including how educated they were, she weren’t very educated, so in letters even people who hated Anne wrote comparing Anne and Catherine to Jane in all little aspects.
Yes, she wasn't known to be a beauty.
Was he good at sports or did people not want to risk death if they beat him?
Skitting🤣🤣
They are letting them win to keep their heads
Probably maybe both
He was athletic until the jousting accident.
Exactly! It sounds like he would be the type to behead someone just for him losing a game against them. He would probably accuse them of cheating and attempted murder.
There wasn’t any “Love” in this relationship, there was infatuation. If he loved her then he wouldn’t have her beheaded.
from what i've heard, the reason why he wanted her was bc anne wasn't like the other girls who had a liking for henry, she didn't like,, fancy him (and that was when he was still with catherine of aragon, henry's first wife), anne didn't want to do anything with henry unless they were married so he just threw catherine away for her
Insane Taco Cat during their marriage he had a head injury which altered his mood. he loved her
Asia Chung is that an excuse?
I honestly believe that he did love her from researching their relationship, but he fell out of love with her and the results were tragic
The letters are what I put most attention to though...personally, I wouldn't want my personal letters to be read by anyone who just wants to poke their noses...but with the severed heads...who cares?
Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn were the only two to have seen henry in his fit and handsome phase, where he wasn't crazy and was actually pretty nice .
Except the whole beheading her part
It was really Catherine who got to see the very young handsome Prince Henry before he became his own man in his prime (as Anne experienced), after she married him when her husband and king, Henry’s older brother, unexpectedly passed away. I think it took them five to six years to marry after but Henry was still young and inexperienced. Catherine was a bit older than Henry.
Henry was not so bad when he married his third wife Jane, but when she died at childbirth and thereafter, he began to gain weight. He loved to eat and drink in excess - like everything he did.
@@mariagibson2722 i laughed at the eating part,is it bad?
@@lillynotfound4194 No, eating is not bad, but in excess as Henry did it was I guess. I read he mostly ate meat and drank ale…
They way they used to talk back in the days is so mesmerizing
'Kind and Gentle' he was cruel and ruthless he executed his 17 year old wife ffs
People still marry 12 year old in India
@@sweetspicy7880 Yeah that is seriously messed up but they probably don't behead them🤣
Rebecca O Regan really ! You think so ?
@@sweetspicy7880 Ah...yes. A 12 year old is a child and shouldn't be forced to marry I think it's sick
Rebecca O Regan indeed it’s sick . Imagine Henry being one person we are hating for 17 year old while we live in a century where still children are wed , raped and sold in a huge number .
Henry was still in a century where 17 year old were raised n treated as adults
Why all these films make Henry look good like we all know he looked like Humpty Dumpty it ain’t a secret.
LPempty we only see the painting of when he was older
Soph he was already older when he married Anne Boleyn and most historic dramas portray him hot young or old.
LPempty he was in his 30s he got fat in his 40s
Soph um mam he was 42 when he married Anne
LPempty oh shit history lessons rly do be shit lmaoo but he still got fat after, I’m pretty sure he hurt his leg and got fat just before marrying annes cousin
Imagine if this happened when Facebook existed. The King sliding in Anne’s DMs and historians reading all of their private conversations 😫😫😫
Lol
What Anne wrote in her book reminds me of what Diana said about herself. Very prophetic in an ambitious way.
Could you imagine how Kathrine felt, I feel so bad for her and how she was not able to make a son and was made fun of for it. 😭😞
And her lady in waiting whom she trusted betrayed her
@@alicem1961 her husband did..
True, she and her child were castes aside like nothing. They were married for 20 years but anne was portrayed like a disney princess here. Sickening
@@desertdaisymarie6951 both
@@desertdaisymarie6951 both of them did. The whole affair smelled of ungovernable lust, betrayal and unkindness.
I don't know why they say Henry was handsome as a young man. I've seen the paintings of him and he was not at all handsome.
Maybe he is handsome by the standarts of that time
He also had a dickprint medieval photoshopped on his portraits.
Maybe for his time?
The paintings are from his later life after the incident in jousting. He was very handsome for his time but as he got older, he put on more weight thus becoming the Henry we all learned about.
maybe it’s the 1500’s equivalent to looking better in person than in photo
If Catherine had given Henry a healthy son we never would have even heard about Anne Boleyn.
You're right.
No he might have had an affair with her. He had plenty of affairs with his wife's ladies in waiting. He probably would not have made her queen though.
Very true. Henry really didn’t want to divorce Catherine. Not only that the Catholic Church would not allow it but Henry had not thought of separating England from it until Anne put it in his mind to rid Catherine to and marry her.
Anne would have been around, just as a mistress. Catherine came with the throne Henry inherited from Arthur, his brother and her first husband - nothing more or less. The concept of love matches some 500 odd years ago was something that usually happened outside of the marriage.
Well she technically did when Prince Henry was born but alas he died after only 6 weeks
Anne won in the end for it was HER daughter that reigned England as the most notable of all Queens
Agree 👍
Stop making excuses for Henry VIII. He was a psychopath. Erasmus knew Henry when he was a child, not an adult. Unbelievable
What it is believed that after his fall it damaged his brain. And lets not forget that when he was a younger man he was kind

To everyone asking why Henry is seen as young and handsome when his portrait shows him as a medieval Big Mac connoisseur: he was once robust and good looking, before his jousting accident that screwed him up forever and put an end to his athleticism. That, combined with age and gluttony meant that he became mondo sized
For some reason I always envision young Henry to have looked like Prince Harry.
English teachers be like : "I, Anne Boleyn" so poetic
Henry was obsessed with every female and married them and had syphilis, it's really no compliment to be lusted for by him. He's no prize.
Fr🙄😒
Well he is a prize because he IS the king of England sooo..
Gross
🤷♀️ difference ladies different goals Ig

What was your 🥠 about?
King Henry's daughter made a WAY better ruler than he could ever hope to be.
Queen Elizabeth I did good.
Queen Elizabeth I was cruel
@@shxnicexx Queen Elizabeth was a product of her time. Most monarchs sentenced people to death, and Elizabeth sentanced less than most monarchs. I'm guessing you're a fan of Mary Queen of Scotts.
Yeah I think about that a lot. Elizabeth the first is widely considered to be one of the best rulers England has ever had. Much better than her father ever was. And what he wanted more than anything was a legacy, a son to be a great king. If only he had known that his daughter Elizabeth the first would be one of the best monarchs in history. I just think that in the end Anne had the last laugh. His weakling son he killed Anne to get was a weak child King manipulated by everyone around him who died after barely holding the throne and did nothing of note. While Elizabeth who he didn't like and who he disowned as a bastard for most of her childhood became the great monarch who did so much for england. Her brother isn't remembered at all and Henry himself is only remembered for being a psycho and serial cheater.
@@lilacfantasy4 I love Elizabeth I, but she executed thousands but her sister executed 370+ and yet Mary was the one who was called "Bloody Mary"
05:37 that gave me so many chills. For me it's so hard to remember that all these people that we see in paintings and hear stories from were real, they had they're thoughts and desires, likes and dislikes, dreams, they had a childhood and grew up. They were as much human as me, the only difference is time, it's so fucking crazy to think about that. Time is just such a crazy consept

@@missspice2087 THAT's because she died after giving birth
Which Jane Seymour? The Actress or Queen??
Henry had a serious head injury from a jousting accident. Head injuries can radically change personality.
Robin Lillian , head injuries absolutely a factor.
God a whole nation must have fell on their head.
That's very true, but let's be honest, he was pretty cruel before the accident too. Cruelly leaving Catherine of Aragon to rot out in the middle of no where not being able to see her child before she did. Beheading and punishing long time friends just to get his way. He may have been worse after the accident but he was never a saint.
He was like that before the head injury
The only thing the accident did to his head was made him aware of how fragile his reign was and if he were to die without an heir it would be the end of the Tudor monarch.

@@MDBJSW Oh! I beyond agree with you, however, Anne was using fashion to make a statement as she always had done at other times in her life.

I cringe more that the books are being exposed to the damp UK weather for filming. Mold/mildew will destroy those texts faster than any oils from being handled will, considering what they were using for paper 500 years ago.
Hi, archivist here! Gloves actually make us more likely to accidentally rip or otherwise damage historic documents/books. As long as you've washed your hands before handling, you should be fine. We generally only wear gloves for photographs or artifacts such as clothing or textiles.
We ain’t gonna talk about the King Henry actor.... he smokin hot 😌
Eric Bana? Oh, you are SO right. He was also “Hector” in Achilles’ Heel (can’t remember correct movie name) with Brad Pitt as Achilles.
Way better than Pitt.
I have great doubts that Henry was actually attractive. Who would dare call a king ugly anyway?
He became ugly and fat after his jousting accident and that also messed with his head, he was described as tall strong and handsome
Specifically, a sociopathic king
For this time. He was seen as attractive. I mean for every era what is seen as attractive has changed 😂 I mean look at the 21st century and what is seen as attractive to us
Just Googled when he was young, not attractive at all

Both were previously involved with another man before marrying Henry (Catherine married his brother first while Anne was briefly engaged/or having an affair with Henry Percy), both were pushed to marry him by their fathers (Although Catherine's father did it more out of love and thought for his daughter's well being while Anne's was just a power hungry social climber) both suffered miscarriages and only delivered one healthy child which was born a daughter, and both were in the end discarded by their husband Henry albeit they were discarded in different ways.
The only really big difference between these two women in regards to their history with King Henry was how they went about rejection and infidelity.
Catherine no doubt was hurt by her husband's adulterous nature but she was smart enough to realize that in the time period she lived in, a woman should never scold or berate her husband especially if he was high in rank. She also did not make a big scene about it because she was a queen and a queen is always dignified, respectful, graceful. She serves her people and does not allow them to see if she is angry or hurt because as a monarch she is a symbol of strength and wisdom to her people which in turn earned their respect and devotion. Probably why Henry didn't cut off her head because she was so adored and respected by his people. This behavior applied even when Henry divorced her. Yes she voiced her contempt and hurt but she did so in a dignified manner. And even though her husband spurned her cruelly and unjustily, she would forever be loved and seen as a true queen even after death.
Anne on the other hand was more arrogant and prideful. She thought that she should have been seen as Henry's equal which unfortunately was a dangerous way of thinking back then. She wasn't really discreet about how she felt about Henry's philandering ways and didn't take it in a dignified way which probably made her come off as spoiled and whiny to her people. This was especially unwise considering that England pretty much hated her. She probably didn't understand her position as well as Catherine did because unlike her, Anne was not royal by birth therefore she was not trained and schooled in the ways of being a proper queen. In fact I think the only thing her family schooled her on was the benefits of being queen and not the burdens. So she lost her head but left behind a daughter who would prove to succeed where she failed.
Henry also had to be careful about how he treated Catherine. He couldn’t really execute a daughter of Spain without risking war from Spain and her allies. Anne, on the other hand, was English. There was no foreign power to risk offending by executing her.
None of Henry’s foreign queens were executed. Two of his English-born queens were and his final English-born queen, Katherine Parr, made quick amends over a religious disagreement when she realized he was displeased… she knew quite well that as an English queen born in England, her life was not safe from Henry’s caprice.
Nobody:
Henry: HaVE a dEaD DeeR CUs I loVe YoU so MuCh.
Lmao
I genuinely laughed out loud
Henry is like the real life version of gaston
yoo i cantt 💀💀
Lol
Pretty sure she joined forces with Henry’s other ex-wives and formed a girl group or something
SIX
someone should write a musical or something about that it would be great
yeah bc theyre so much more than divorced beheaded died divorced beheaded survived, they are siiiiiixx
And tonight we are liiiiiiveeee
Welcome to the show to hitoremix
Great program. Love the relics most of us will never get to see. And to think the longest reigning monarchs in England have been Elizabeth I, Victoria and ER II. Well done, ladies!
The person who wrote the letter with the seals had a great handwriting. Beautifully done
I was always that kid in class that would love it when the supply teacher would throw one of these on. Although I loved history lessons anyway I found these far for engaging. Now age 20 without a history lesson in 4 years I still love learning & watching these!
Oh my gosh,
Same
Im also 20 and lovessss history
Now im just watching these interesting documentaries because i have never had a history lesson in 4 years
Same gurrrlll sameee...✋
I'm 27 and same!!
Omg I’m 16 but I love learning about history, it’s one of my fav subjects
i really didn't care for history in school, it was boring. but now as an adult, it's more like tabloid stories on celebrities. there were such scandals. can you imagine if these things happened now, in the modern day? scandalous!
Yes, she's that Boleyn girl. She broke England from the church, she's that sexy.
Why did she lose her head? Her sleeves may be green but her lipsticks red
she’s sorry not sorry bout what she said
She just wanna have some fun
E don’t lose your head she never ment to hurt anyone
@@user-cr5uu8mf7i LOL Say "oh well" or go to hell
Bit shocked to see them handle delicate artifacts without gloves on. Human skin and sweat can leave corrosion on delicate parchments. And they were wearing rings too...
I was thinking the exact same thing.
It´s so sad when you realize that such a passion he felt for her, such love, then became grudge and made him justify... to kill the very woman he swore to love... so tragic.
Actress Natalie Dormer who portrayed Anne Boleyn in the Tudor is best suited of this role.
I totally agree. She brought the seduction and brilliance of Anne Boleyn.
Jessica Laffin she and the actress in this one I’ve found are the only ones who have truly brought the essence of Anne Boleyn to life
I am Rainbow I disagree Millie O’Connell ftw
Ew she looks like a gremlin. Millie O’Connell is good, like person above stated.
you should watch 'the tudors' best anne boleyn for sure
Anyone watch “The Other Boleyn Girl” with Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson?
loved that movie
Cora Line i read a Book about it
Yeah, but isn't just historical fanfic just like most movies.
The movie had almost zero resemblance to the book, and very little to do with history.
@@leanie9660 Yeah I know I was just curious if people had seen it.
In hindsight, I think it would have been better for Anne to die of sweating sickness than being made a mockery of, accused and then being executed. I feel really sorry for her. She did not deserve to die. Rest In Peace Queen 👑👸
This was my first Dr. Libscomb documentary and it was love at first sight. Her passion for Henry and Anne is infectious!
I hate when they say no one has ever divorced a Queen before. Eleanor of Aquitaine. Queen of France who divorced King Louis VII to marry King Henry II of England and was Queen of England.
But they didn't divorce they withdrawed their marriage that's a difference. They could do so because they were relatives. Henry VIII tried to convince the pope to withdraw His marriage with Catharina of Aragorn too, but the pope refused. That's why He founded the church of England
Henry also annulled his marriage to Katherine. Divorce didn’t exist back then.
ok but like the sound of the pages 😩😩 i’m weak that was a whole asmr
Ikr! It was so satisfying!
I was just thinking how those pages are totally asmr !
Props to Anne Boleyn for giving England one of the greatest monarchs of all time
Dr. Lipscomb is the actual Goldie Locks! Sitting in Anne Boleyn’ saber! Touching Anne Boleyn’s book! I am green(sleeves) with envy! 💚
Thumbnail looks like Anne be a bad girl licking a knife and then i remembered that they only ate with knives back then
Unknown User wait for real ?
@@Dalvardo90 forks were brought over from France in the middle ages but weren't popular
terrorfire interesting thanks for the knowledge!
how did they eat with only knives back then? i've had to eat with only knives before and it's near impossible.
When Anne became queen and replaced Catherine of Aragon Henry started making Mary bow down to her stepmother but she didn’t since she disliked Anne for treating her poorly and when Elizabeth was born she made Mary her maid she didn’t like her for replacing her mother and discarding her when Anne got to be beheaded Mary was very happy and felt like she deserved it
What’s the source?
@@Carolina-rd3gh you can Search it up anywhere Anne boleyn and Mary the first never had a good relationship
@@ItzzAshh_ “Anywhere” is not a good place to get accurate information
This just reminds us yet once again how wonderful and magnificent Princess Diana was.
No. Diana was a very manipulative woman.
@@bambina3148 Ha good joke
I honestly think Anne was his favorite cause if Jane never given born to a son he would had gone bored of her way faster than Anne
My all time Favorite Queen, Anne Boleyn. It is very heartbreaking to watch different movies, docus and tv series about her without the beheading scene because that was her destiny- however, I feel proud for my Queen as she gave birth to one of the greatest monarch of English history. Henry doesn't need a male heir, he only needed Anne and Elizabeth but he believed on rumors & false information. Anyway, what was written in the history can't be undone but I'm glad we knew now what's true and just. ❤️
There once was a gluttenous King named Henry, who lived in a Castle in the land of Eng, who was a collector of many things..... especially heads.
Right👀😂
his excuse to divorce catherine of aragon was nonesense. he literally had an affair with his wife´s sister.
I have always been so intrigued by Anne and the king. True love cannot allow murder.
I think he's the one who plot her false accusations. Since she can't give him a son
Elisabeth Tesalonika its not her fault she couldn't produce a son
@@elizabethschuylerhamilton4972 yes ik
Elisabeth Tesalonika no it’s Henry’s fault that he doesn't have a son. Because he needs to pass down the Y chromosome and women, don't have that chromosome. That’s basic genetics
@@jolienvandamme2909 i didn't say it's any one's fault?? Pls don't make me look stupid

@calihartley2010 how do you know Harry is not circumcised ?
calihartley2010 LMAOOOO
@calihartley2010 I totally agree. Men were born with foreskin for a reason. Where did you read this? Sounds interesting.
calihartley2010 WHAT? HAHA
Apart from Katherine’s treatment due to the affair, I can’t forget reading records that said Anne mistreated Mary when she came back to living in the castle because she was Katherine’s daughter. But women back in the day did not always support each other. Anne’s death was a tragedy, but I dislike how some people nowadays glorify her. That said is also uncomfortable how people talk on Anne sometimes. “I feel worse for…” it doesn’t matter. Anne did not deserve to die. And to be honest, rather than cheating, to me the worst claims of what she did was how she allegedly treated Mary. And yet she still did not deserve to die.
All in all to me Katherine Howard is the saddest story, if only because she was so young and all her records point to the fact that she was assaulted by many men in her life.
Please continue to post these documentaries and don't ever disappear from the internet, please. Love you all!😘🥰
"he was very gentle"
boylen and howard are very triggered
insert:**Beheaded cousins confusion**
No mention of Harry Percy, and Anne's wish to marry him frustrated by Henry via Wolsey!
okay... imagine writing on a diary and then keeping it away for anyone to see for only hundreds of years later someone reason it... idk why i did that but that sounds kinda scary tbh
*anne frank has entered the chat*
Why why why do historians touch irreplaceable treasures without wearing gloves such as Annes book of hours or any other treasures I have seen in various documentaries with historians that you would think they’d know better. 😡😡😡😡 Makes me so mad 😠
BallymurphyBabe Yea, good historians are also taught to wear masks when they get close to historical objects. Touching and speaking made me cringe😬
I have recently learned that wearing gloves does more damage than not. I watched a few of these historical documentaries and one of them actually had a link to an archival document site that corroborated that it is better to not wear gloves as they can tear a page, etc. I was also cringing at many of these shows where manuscripts were touched, but now can see the point of not. Try online search about handling manuscripts with gloves.
BallymurphyBabe The books she is touching is the copy not the original. I’m sure they have many copies.
@@nreh7653 Are you guessing?
@@enzocunanan7803 Exactly that, and more often than not they are not as clean as they should be, people tend to become a little too at ease when they do it every day and don't actually wear a clean pair every time they have to examine a document.
This Henry has me feeling some type of way
ikr why'd they make him so good looking lol
Repulsed??? That's how he's making me feel...
I truly appreciate these series, thank you. Lovely narrator
I just finished a book called Doomed Queen Anne. It explained many things about Anne. But her family was not as wealthy as her father wanted. Or so I read in the book
Certain untreated STDs and STIs can cause insanity. Henry was probably also an ass but that may have worsened it to actual madness.
That Bible verse was pretty damn specific. Like damn, who hurt you?
There are many bible verses that make me think how oddly specific they are.. minus the accounts with Jesus himself I'm sure some personal issues crept out when it was being written! ;)
@@blueribenaberry Hardly! It's called "God breathed" for a reason. No personal issues involved.
Henry took it out of context to justify divorcing a wife he didn’t want anymore. The command not to take your brother’s wife ONLY applies if the brother is LIVING, as in adultery, which goes against the 7th Commandment. (Compare this to Herod in the New Testament, who was sleeping with his sister-in-law while his brother was alive, and John the Baptist was jailed for speaking out against the adultery.)
HOWEVER, if the brother is dead, not only is it okay to marry his widow, but it might even be expected because there was a system in place (called “yibbum”) from Deuteronomy 25:5-10 where if the brother died without children, the closest living brother or cousin was expected to marry the widow and produce an heir for the dead man. This law comes up in the Book of Ruth, where Boaz had to go through a legal process with his kinsman, who was a closer relative to Ruth’s late husband, in order to marry Ruth. Boaz and Ruth in turn were the great-grandparents of King David, ancestor to Jesus.
Such a pleasure to watch! Well done!
I agree with her on a lot of things. Anne has always been portrayed black and white all the way around.
I believe she was also passionately in love with Henry. I don't think she withheld Henry to make him chase her by any means. She was a strong and smart woman that respected herself and wasnt going to become a mistress and have a bastard child even if Henry stayed with her. I think she fell in love with him and together they decided to do to right, or at least try to do it right...
I think Anne and Henry had problems in the marriage that was exacerbated by the long divorce and many enemies of Anne ultimately gathered together and took her down. I believe they were both jealous of one another. I believe Anne may have been flirty and may have even acted out more because of Henry and Seymour and Henry believed the accusations against her initially. He was irrational at that time and impulsive. I could see him in a jealous rage...
In Henry's head, I think he acted irrational and did truly believe in her guilt at the tine. I think later later, after he calmed down and he had time to think it through, he regretted what he did.
I would even go so far to say that nearly every one of Anne's enemies were executed by Henry except for Brandon. And I don't really know if he played a legitimate part in her death. I just find it kind of ironic...
I think it haunted Henry to the end if his days.
It's a sad story, but because of the automatically generated english subtitle I had to laugh every now and then. Anne Boleyn was written "amberlynn" or "I and Berlin" and 'son and heir' was written as "sun and air" 🤓
This actor playing Henry III is HANDSOME. 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Lol
@calihartley2010 lame
@calihartley2010 I wonder if the actor wronged you in some way cause I saw you replied this response in verbatim to a different commenter who also expressed his admiration to the looks of the guy who portrayed Henry. Or just general dislike for British ginger-haired men cause you even brought Prince Harry to the context.
@calihartley2010 Oh, did you now? Cause I remember nothing of the sort.
Very funny. He's making me physically ill.
This is sooo good! I am enjoying every minute of it. ❤🙏🏽
Thank you. Always enjoy history and the Tudors. Really enjoyed this.
Yara Serrano he was actually quite handsome in his youth. He’ was over six feet, athletic and very charming it was in his final years he became sick and obese.
He was a fat, pasty-faced balding redhead
You can be tall, athletic, and charismatic and still be ugly.
@John wayne The MC spoke a French embassador's descriptions of Henry. He was described as a beautiful young man. You clearly didn't watch this documentary but commented based on his picture in later years.
