Even then, not great. She never married and was cast off with a "Flanders mare" reputation. I would say she level-pegged with Catherine Parr, who did re-marry but died in childbirth. Nobody who married Henry entirely escaped toxicity. Parr, who had Protestant leanings, was lucky to escape execution at the hands of Henry, who was more of a Catholic who had merely fallen out with the Pope and persecuted Protestants as well as defenders of Papal supremacy.
Yeah, HENRY definitely thought he was still a handsome, golden king! Everyone else knew to play along with this, but Anne didn't, & Henry was like, "WHAT?!?! She didn't swoon at my feet?" His planet-sized ego couldn't deal with that, so he had a tanty & said SHE was ugly, & HE couldn't stand HER. Sure Henry, whatever you say!
Happy anniversary Claire.. thank you for all your hard work this past year. I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed listening to your videos and seeing you and your adorable pets. I’m so glad there will be more to come. A thousand times thank you.
You are absolutely my favorite TH-cam channel. I’m an American who lived in England for a decade in my youth and secretly know in my heart that I lived in Tudor times. (Probably as a scullery maid.) You are brilliant, funny, and you really make history alive. Thank you for being here. Happy New Year!
I think Anne was in a no win situation. Henry didn’t love her because she didn’t swoon over him in disguise.. but if she has swooned he may have thought her unfaithful and sent her to the tower..
@@jeanfish7 I agree! It ended up in the best way for her. She had wealth, she was important in Henry's life, and could pretty much do as she pleased. Not many royal women could have said that.
Pranking scores: Kings Henry VI and VIII--0 pts Margaret of Anjou and Anne of Cleves--100 pts Naughty Teasel--0 pts Kitties--100 pts Thanks for a great year Tudor-style, Claire. Drinking a New Year's toast to you and yours, even though it's still 2 hours until NY here in California--Cheers! P.S. I think Anne of Cleves did quite well for herself. She and Henry must have arrived at some kind of mutual understanding, since she was well provided for after the annulment and was welcome at Court as his "sister".
Very grateful you have decided to continue the series Claire! Once again best wishes for 2020. I’m sure Anne would have been a kind and sensible Queen consort; but was probably much happier being his “dear sister”.
Thank you Claire for continuing to bring us our daily Tudor tidbits!! Looking forward to another year of "On this day in Tudor history" Happy New Year to you and your family ❤️
Miss Claire, First, I absolutely love your videos on Tudor history, especially these that correlate with your book. Along with written shronicles, facts and documented history, you give the viewer a colorful yet accurate scenario of Tudor scholarship. I am a long-time fan of Tudor Era history and I absolutely love your work. Thank you very much for your many contributions to fans of the Tudors. I recently discovered, through genealogy research and DNA testing, that I am of distant lineage to the Plantagenets and, since then, I've understood my deep interest in Tudor history. By the way, your pets are lovely!
Happy New Year Claire!!🦋 I have thoroughly enjoyed ALL of your videos!!! Especially Teasel's Tudor's Trivia! I am beyond grateful you're going to continue your work. I love your voice, accent and the bells!!❤🌺 Thank you so much!! Happy New Year!!!❤🌺🦋
I think Anne of Cleves had the best lot of all Henry's wives. She didn't get her head cut off, and was able to live a life of independence, luxury, and fun and remain an important personage even after Henry's death. She outlived all the other wives. I'm happy for her that Henry didn't like her from the start. Who knows what her fate might have been, if they remained married long enough for her to piss him off in some way.
Congratulations on your one year anniversary Claire! I’ve loved learning about what was going on between 1485-1603 (or thereabouts) in England. Not only do I love learning about the Tudors but about life at that time (especially Teasel’s Tudor Trivia!). It has given me a real appreciation for my English ancestors who lived at that time. Here’s to another wonderful year of all things Tudor! Cheers to you, Tim, your family and the menagerie (especially Miss Teasel)!💕🎉
Hahaha!! You say it so eloquently Claire!! But I would have said," Boo hoo hoo! ! Poor Henry, he was so butt hurt, how dare Anne not fall down on her knees when she should notice greatness! "
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm completely addicted to your daily videos. It's wonderful hearing from the expert on my favorite topic of all things Tudor!❤⚘❤
Henry was too arrogant to overcome his perceived snub. I would think that no one would dare to deceive Henry and depict Anne, as other than her true likeness. I personally think that Anne had a lucky escape. I feel she would quickly have dismissed any, if only, thoughts. Imagine the level of stress to produce a heir and hang on to your head!🤔 I spotted teasel she looked so cute in her green nappy. Thank you Claire. Happy New year. 🐈🐕❤️
Insert joke about how finding out you’re doing another On This Day every day in 2020 event is the best news I’ve heard all year. Happy NY Claire!!!!!! 🎉 🎊
Even before I watch Today in Tudor History, I send my congratulations to you for this most amazing year. I have learnt so much from your daily videos. I have been with you since day one and look forward to much more learning. Thank you so much Claire!
Hooray!! We’ve made it thru the year. I’ve seen every video in the series starting last New Year’s Day, and I’m looking forward to the new year’s videos!!!
Happy New Year to all the "On This Day in Tudor History" fans. I have truly enjoyed these posts throughout 2019 and am glad they will continue. Thank you, Claire. A Happy Nee Year to you!
I whole-heartedly agree with your take on all this Claire. Between being humiliated by Anne's not knowing who he was thus thinking he was a servant as well as the blow to his inflated ego is what drove him to make these false accusations in order to annul the marriage. Disgusting. What a pig!!! I can't even imagine how poor Anne felt at the time of this fiasco. What I love about this is that Anne outlived him, his son and lived to see the reign of Queen Mary I. And thanks to Henry's generous offerings of money, clothes as well as a place to live in order to get Anne to consent to the annulment, Anne died a very rich and content woman. Anne of Cleves got the last laugh after all. And I love it! The more I learn about Anne of Cleves, the more I like her. Thanks for a fantastic video. Happy New Year to you and yours!
One year already? Congrats on a tremendous accompaniment! I've always enjoyed Tudor history, but you share the information with such enthusiasm. Thank you for the joy you've brought , and continue to bring .
HUZZAH❣😁 YOU'RE AMAZING, I LOOK FORWARD EVERYDAY TO WATCHING YOUR VIDEO'S❣🤗 THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THIS PAST YEAR, & ANOTHER YEAR OF TUDOR TREATS❣💖 HAPPY NEW YEAR❣🌹✌ 🎉🥂🍾🎊💝
Oh my goodness, Claire, I have to tell you that my beautiful, amazing and thoughtful daughter bought The Real Truth About The Tudors, The Anne Boleyn Collection for me this Christmas. I was so very delighted until I reached the bottom of the first page at which point I was completely overwhelmed and reduced to tears because I could hear your voice coming out of those pages and I could picture your face and it was almost as though you were talking right to me. I know it sounds silly but the way you've worded this book that's honestly what it felt like. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the last year of daily videos and for this wonderful book. By this time next year I hope to have more. You are a joy to watch and I'm looking forward to the next year of your videos. I hope Christmas was as amazing for you and your family as it was for me and mine and I wish you all nothing but the best for 2020. Much love always.
Oh thank you for such a lovely comment. It really is heartwarming to hear that my work is enjoyed in such a way, so thank you for taking the time to write that. I wish you a very Happy New Year.
Oh Claire! You did it and you are going to keep it up? What a New Year’s treat and gift. Now where are the Podcasts???? What planet have I been on? Happiest of New Years to you and your whole family and team.
Happy New Year! It's an audio version of these talks for those who prefer that. It's published at tudorhistory.podbean.com/ but you can also find it on Apple, Spotify etc.
thanks, Claire, for last year and now a new one!!! best new year to you, a historian totally fascinating and skilled. alas if only my teachers, ages ago, had even been a bit as interesting and engaging as you, Well, never too late. Cheers!!
I'm excited your doing more in 2020!!! I love the stories you tell us about,there nothing like the mini,,series tudors Have a happy new year and many blesings. Sincerly,Angelia Frm:Waco Texas USA.
I would be sad for Anne if she hadn't ended up having the best fate out of all his wives.
Yes! I just wished she had had a longer life
Agreed, I think she dodged the mother of all bullets.
Yup. She kept her houses, wealth and her head. More than you can say about the ones Henry swooned over.
Even then, not great. She never married and was cast off with a "Flanders mare" reputation. I would say she level-pegged with Catherine Parr, who did re-marry but died in childbirth. Nobody who married Henry entirely escaped toxicity. Parr, who had Protestant leanings, was lucky to escape execution at the hands of Henry, who was more of a Catholic who had merely fallen out with the Pope and persecuted Protestants as well as defenders of Papal supremacy.
I also think Anne would have been shocked Henry who was no longer the handsome golden Prince of his youth.She kept her life, dignity.
Yeah, HENRY definitely thought he was still a handsome, golden king! Everyone else knew to play along with this, but Anne didn't, & Henry was like, "WHAT?!?! She didn't swoon at my feet?" His planet-sized ego couldn't deal with that, so he had a tanty & said SHE was ugly, & HE couldn't stand HER. Sure Henry, whatever you say!
I think she said something about how his wound smelled. Being a counter-Intelligent intellect he said she smelled to protect his image.
HENRY: I shall fool my bride by disguising myself cleverly as a servant!
ANNE: Look, a servant.
HENRY: 🥺🥺😳😳😠😠🤬🤬
inkasrain Exactly! 🤣
Happy anniversary Claire.. thank you for all your hard work this past year. I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed listening to your videos and seeing you and your adorable pets. I’m so glad there will be more to come. A thousand times thank you.

I think Anne was in a no win situation. Henry didn’t love her because she didn’t swoon over him in disguise.. but if she has swooned he may have thought her unfaithful and sent her to the tower..
Debra Anchante Exactly.
Anne of Cleves ended up in the best of situations...alive and well taken care of....and no mounting by the obese beast!:)
@@jeanfish7 I agree! It ended up in the best way for her. She had wealth, she was important in Henry's life, and could pretty much do as she pleased. Not many royal women could have said that.
@@jeanfish7 until Henry died. Edward's people kind of screwed her over and didn't think he should have to pay for his father's exwife.
That was my first thought too.
I am so pleased that we will have another year of your wonderful, informative talks!! Thank you for all your hard work and attention to detail!!❤️

Happy Anniversary, Claire! So glad I found you a year ago. It’s been quite a year!
Thank you!
Church bells and Teasel cameo. What better way to start the new year.
I was elated when I got a notification of a new video! Thank you for continuing! Happy New Year!
So glad the series will continue!
Happy New Year to our hostess, Claire, and to all who follow her!
Happy New Year!
Awesome. Looking forward to more Tudor facts
Very grateful you have decided to continue the series Claire! Once again best wishes for 2020. I’m sure Anne would have been a kind and sensible Queen consort; but was probably much happier being his “dear sister”.
If only!!!
But maybe her escape from his grasp was her GOOD fortune.
Nice to see Teasel in the background! Happy New Year, Claire!
Happy New Year!
Wonderful to hear you are gonna be back another year
Thank you Claire for continuing to bring us our daily Tudor tidbits!! Looking forward to another year of "On this day in Tudor history" Happy New Year to you and your family ❤️

I absolutely adore your daily Tudor lessons! You're my favorite historian, thank you for your hard Work & dedication 👍❤️
❤️ these series, Claire, thank you🇬🇧🏴.
You are the best Claire one day we shall meet and talk Tudor on one of your tours!

Dear Claire, thank you so much for your series. I swear, I'm becoming a Tudor expert thanks to you.
Hahaha!! You say it so eloquently Claire!! But I would have said," Boo hoo hoo! ! Poor Henry, he was so butt hurt, how dare Anne not fall down on her knees when she should notice greatness! "
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm completely addicted to your daily videos. It's wonderful hearing from the expert on my favorite topic of all things Tudor!❤⚘❤

I have loved your series this year. I am also glad your staying here daily!!! Thank you!
Looking forward to another year of '' on this day.... ''!!!! Love them, I learn so much. 🙂
Greetings from 1 May 2020..lockdown year. I am having a ball..watching these sort of in reverse. SO glad you gave yourself this challenge.
Henry was too arrogant to overcome his perceived snub. I would think that no one would dare to deceive Henry and depict Anne, as other than her true likeness. I personally think that Anne had a lucky escape. I feel she would quickly have dismissed any, if only, thoughts. Imagine the level of stress to produce a heir and hang on to your head!🤔
I spotted teasel she looked so cute in her green nappy. Thank you Claire. Happy New year. 🐈🐕❤️
Thank you, Claire!
I am so glad I discovered you here and am always learning...thank you and happy anniversary !
