March 2022 marks the 500th anniversary since Anne Boleyn made her debut at the court of King Henry VIII.
Prof. Suzannah Lipscomb investigates the story of Anne’s remarkable upbringing in England, the Netherlands and France before she arrived at the heart of Tudor England. For all Anne Boleyn’s fame, this is a period of her life where the evidence is hard to find and fact needs to be carefully sifted from fiction.
Suzannah explores Anne’s childhood home, beautiful Hever Castle, to discover what made her - what formed her into the extraordinary woman who would change the course of history.

Totally need more Prof. Lipscomb! I have always loved how she relays history to the viewers.
Yes, more please!
Me too. I love hearing her.
I agree. She's wonderful
All the students at the university she teaches must be hot for teacher.
More Professor Lipscomb please. Just an excellent story framer.
And she's easy on the eyes
@@williamezechel6023 And a beautiful voice.
She's gorgeous.
Prof Suzannah Lipscomb is amazing, I love her work.
I've seen Suzy present Tudor stories over and over, and all over, multiple times, and every time I listen to her, I still learn something new. She always brings her imagined emotions of the history figure she's talking about, not just dates and names. I bet several times, she's nailed it.
Margaret Boleyn Butler, mother of Anne's father Thomas, was my 14 Great-Grandmother (Anne was my 1st cousin 14x removed ;) ! And absolutely adore Prof Lipscomb, her diction and respect for history and how she delves into the detail, just so enthralling. Now off with your heads!
Beautifully presented and packed with info. I shall be hitting that subscribe button straight away! 👍
I literally grew up watching documentaries with the people you feature on Viasat History. Thank you so much for this channel!
She is one my absolute favorite historian she is so knowledgeable and beautiful
Why does it matter that she is beautiful?

Proffesor Lipscomb you need to do more videos!! I love learning history with you, you seem to enjoy what you are teaching so much it makes a huge difference 🇺🇸🙌
Anything with Prof Suzannah Lipscomb is pure gold!
Ahhhh, I adore Prof Lipscomb.
I love her hair.
Suzannah! This is a happy day!!! 💜💜
Great video, thanks history cougar!
If you don't have a favourite royal documentary historian, then I don't think we can be friends.
If your favourite is someone other than Prof. Lipscomb, you're on thin ice
:) Agreed!
More please 🙏
I am a former archivist. I cannot believe a historian is touching rare books and documents without gloves. The oil from her hands can damage quite easily.
I've heard from a lot of archivists that gloves are now known to not always be the best for handling. With gloves, you lose a lot of feeling in your fingers, which in turn can make you handle items rougher than you should. This can cause more damage than using your bare hands. Instead, you wash your hands well and touch the object as little as possible for a short period of time. (this of course doesn't go for everything you handle) Also, Prof. Libscomb most definitely got permission to touch the book, and I'm quite sure measures were taken to keep it safe.
As someone who is deeply religious, it is very difficult ( in my opinion anyway) to approach history in this sort of time period without including as a vital part of these characters: that being their religion, their faith. Everything I do in my life is seen thru a moral lens related to my faith; it is how I approach decisions, it is what informs my actions, it is where I go for comfort, it a space in which I find joy in learning. So I really do appreciate when parts of Anne (and actually Catherine of Aragon in her own way too) and her life are shared without excluding religion. It is very difficult for most modern people to look at a highly religious society and see this as a positive, as it's a point of mockery, almost, for most western countries, and is associated with being "backwards", but I implore everyone who strives to be a scholar of history to at least try to view the circumstances and times of those you study through the everpresent lens of religiosity, without modern pride or scoffing at them for having to look to religion because they didn't have science, or similar. It definitely helps you understand these historical persons much better if you can think as they might've thought, and it helps enable you to gain insight to their motivations, feelings and decisions they made. The high level of (at least nominal) religiosity amongst almost the entire population of the common folk is a time long gone, now that we divorce church and state (and quite rightly too), so it is hard to understand everything, but my main point was that I'm glad Anne Bullen's religious devotion was not ommitted in this video, as she would no doubt be sadded that many people never touch on it other than saying she was protestant, and leave it at that. I don't think she'd have wanted to leave it at that 😉
That’s why I rather enjoy the poetic license taken in movies and series because then I can critique historical inaccuracies. ^^
If Anne was so religious why did she carry on with a married man and commit adultery knowing her sister, Mary was also an adulteress? Religious people often cherry pick the parts they want to observe and the parts they prefer to skip over and be more worldly and ambitious. That's probably why most people look at some people who profess to be religious as hypocritical
While I was binge watching Suzannah Lipscomb videos, I got the notification for this video. Amazing timing!! 😂 Amazing video as always, thanks a lot
Great narrator and exceptionally attractive
Anne sounds like me when I have to hand print letters to people because I didn't have the teachers that didn't do their job because they were busy trying to impress the kids of the owners of the coal mines that was in the public school there in the small town. While others like myself got passed over and placed in special education class and sometimes the rich kids did too.
I'm related to Anne By Blood through her sister 🙌🙌🙌🙌
I found the Boleyn's in my tree, as well.. Alicia Boleyn(1430-1485) and I believe it to be correct she is a grandmother. I have not found Mary Boleyn as of yet, but she may be in there somewhere. Here's to keeping on looking! =)
So is princess Diana and Prince Charles, through her sister.
What gorgeous hair you have 😊
A bit creepy old fruit 😳
There's a strong local tradition that she spent some time at the castle (which is still standing there today) in Briis-sous-Forges in the Essonne, south of Paris. Apparently the dates fit in with her being there and I've sent an email to the Anne Boleyn Society inquiring about it. Sadly they haven't replied. Would any one know if there is anyway of finding out if it's true ?
If that's the old chestnut that she was sent there because she was banished from court for lewd behaviour, I can say that is almost certainly a made up rumour to try to blacken her reputation once she became the king's intended queen, or it's a confusion between Anne and Mary, who according to Francois I was somewhat scandalous in her behaviour at the French court. There was never any hint of scandal attached to Anne in France and she seems to have been in high favour with the French royals when she was there.
Why do they let people touch that beautiful book?!?!? With bare hands?!?!
I can't believe you are allowed to touch that book without gloves on ????
Seeing Anne Boleyn's letter written at a young age and also having seen a letter written by a young Edward VI, how did they manage to get such straight lines as the letters do not appear to have any guide lines ?.
Why is she touching the book without gloves.
I agree about her piety. Lovely to hear your opinion confirrms that with evidence &; >
Anne wasn't there at the wedding of the Mary Tudor, but Mary was. Anne didnt arrive until Mary's coronation. I thought when l looked at the tapestry the lady in waiting looked like Annes sister Mary, and l believe it was.
And Anne wasn’t blonde and fair
@@Chipoo88 you're right. This lady had a round face not long like Anne's.
Yes I thought that was strange. She arrived later
@@Pauline-wu4ej mary boleyn had all those features, so it most likely is her.
I doubt it's either sister... to be the woman directly beside and behind Mary, the French Queen, you would have been someone of very high status. I would assume the Boleyn sisters were not the highest ranking noblewomen in Mary's retinue. I think the animated girl in blue talking in the upper-right hand panel is the most likely candidate for being Anne... she's rather oval faced and seems to have auburn or darker hair.
The woman at min 4:27 is not Anne Boleyn, is a very young Margaret of Austria lol xD
Curiously, there's a village just outside of Mechelen called Hever! That has to be related to her somehow. 👍
💗💗💗
Pity Anne wasn't educated enough to stay out of the snake-pit of Tudor politics.
Anne Boleyn spent her childhood with Prof Suzannah Lipscomb?
Why don’t she uses gloves when touching that book?
it''s weird being so fascinated by someone you only know so much about because she was living in a completely different time
WHY is she touching pages without cotton gloves. Oils from her hands stay on the paper. Discoloration occurs. I see this a lot in these videos.
❤😂🎉
I’m not entirely convinced about Anne’s date of birth to be honest. I don’t think she was born as late as 1507.
However, when she returned to England, she was still unmarried by 1526, when Henry started courting her. Now, 25 years old is by no means old. But for that time, I find it hard to believe that an ambitious man like Thomas Boleyn was content with having a daughter in her mid-20s and still unmarried, considering the older she got the less of a ‘prospect’ she would be in gaining an advantageous marriage. I suppose it is possible though, if various marriage negotiations (like the Butler match) fell through.
there are several contemporary or near contemporary documents that state that Anne was born in or around 1507, which is why for hundreds of years that has been the assumed year of birth... this modern reasoning for a 1501 date conveniently ignores this evidence on the basis of an assumption that a 6 year old couldn't have written that letter. But.... we need to consider several things here... one, it was commented on that Anne was 'young' or 'very young' when in Austria, two, that she admits that the letter is poorly written (would a 12 year girl known to be intellectual learning French really have that many errors in her letter?) , three, that she was considered to be highly advanced for her age (which is probably why she and not her older sister was favoured with these sought-after international court positions), and four, that a child's education was very different back then to what it is today, and penmanship would have been drilled into her at a very young age.
What I'd like historians to do is compare that letter to other letters by six and twelve year olds from that era who were known to be highly gifted. For example, how does her penmanship compare to how her daughter Elizabeth or Lady Jane Grey-both known to be highly learned and gifted young women as well-wrote when they were aged 6... if the penmanship is similar, then it's plausible she was 6 when she wrote it.
And as you say, Anne would have been considered quite old to be unmarried when the king first started courting her in 1526, if she was born in 1501. A 25 year old noblewoman still unmarried, and the king though he could have many children with her? Nope... I just don't buy it.
@@graphiquejack \It was not unknown for a girl to be sill unmarried in her 20s.. and the King married Jane Seymour who was not that young either and presuambly thought that he would have a few sons by her
Is that Anne’s real book of hours or just a copy? If it’s the real book, why is she allowed to touch it without gloves?
It’s very much the real thing. We don’t use gloves to touch such previous books as they deaden the sense of touch in our fingertips which is vital to ensuring that we don’t tear or damage the pages. Instead, we use throughly clean and dry hands. Hope that helps!
@@DrOwenEmmerson Thank You
I cringed as she turned the fragile pages of the 100% handmade book WITHOUT gloves 😶
omg and she is talking without a mask in front of the book too im crying holding my museum science major
My thoughts exactly.
Please don’t worry. Professor Lipscomb was doing exactly what the industry standard guidelines tell her to do: use clean, perfectly dry hands. We haven’t used gloves for leafing through precious manuscripts for many years now, chiefly because they don’t allow us the sensitivity of touch that fingertips give us which help to prevent damage. Indeed, we wouldn’t allow anyone to attempt to turn pages of this book with gloves on. Hope that helps!
Pretty sure I saw in a documentary that they don't use gloves anymore because it makes you less aware of the fragility of the pages and therefore more damage can occur. If her hands are dry and clean and with permission it causes less damage than gloves.
"How Did Anne Boleyn Spend Her Childhood?" Probably on her iPad am I right parents?...
I only watch the BBC as I prefer real history, you seem to be overlooking that Anne was black, oh wait........thank you.
I'm so sorry my dear the BBC is well known for their propaganda and fake history, if you want to know the truth, I would say Dr David starkey is my choice 😀
To be honest all the people that came across King Henry the Vlll was the victims .😥😕😢
Surely Henry will burn in Hell for his atrocities. Here's hoping anyway.
You should be wearing white cotton gloves when handling such artifacts.
I think this has changed now. Handling the pages with clean and glove-free hands allows you to handle them more delicatley and more aware of their fragility.
She apparently spend it in her ancestral home of Africa. 😂
Hey, those portraits of Ann Boleyn don't look like Jodie Turner Smith! What gives?! Better burn them on the altar of wokeness!
I thought she was black?
what?
I think he watched that bbc show
She definitely was not.
Channel 5 drama told us she was black...imagine my suprise she's huwhite!

I think it is completely disrespectful and a total lack of professionalism from your side Suzannah Lipscomb, to manipulate, touch and breath on ancient books with no self protection. YOU SHOULD BE WEARING MASKS AND GLOVES, to work with these items. It is not the first time I see you in doing so.
I have seen that you think those antiquities kind of belong to you, let me tell you some news here, they do not. And they should be preserved for generations to come. These things belong to people who CREATE history, not to the "history tellers" like you.
Of course, you cannot accept when you are wrong and there are high possibilities that you erase this comment, as you often do. But it doesn mean that you are not acting wrong.
I demand of you to respect ancient human inheritance. It does not belong to you.
Hi there. Professor Lipscomb had permission from the curatorial team - who take care of these books - to handle these objects thusly. In doing so, both the team and Professor Lipscomb were following the best practice guidelines for the industry. We haven’t handled books of this age and importance with gloves for many years now. If we did, we would be far more likely to damage the objects than if we simply used thoroughly clean, dry hands. Gloves deaden the sensitivity of touch which is vital to ensuring that the pages do not tear. Here’s a link to a summary of the National Archives guidelines so that you can better educate yourself about the best practices in this area, which Professor Lipscomb followed: blog.nationalarchives.gov.uk/the-gloves-are-off/
@@mxnt Thanks for the incoherent and unsubstantiated rant, but I’m afraid you’re speaking against the best practice guidelines here, used by the vast majority of archives here and compiled by experts in the field. It’s very strange that you insist on talking about handlers not owning these items. I’m employed by the owners of these objects and they’ve employed me because I’m trained to handle them in accordance with best practice guidelines. If you can’t understand that you’re far more likely to tear a page without the sensitivity of touch that our given nerve ends afford us, then please trust that people who have worked a lifetime in the field do.
@@DrOwenEmmerson ja-ja-ja... Well, first, let me take a moment here for a laugh.
Okay, at first I was going to be quite polite. But I certainly think that the one who should get EDUCATED here, is you... "Owen".
As easy as this. You are defending the undefendable.
Lipscomb or WHOEVER, SHOULD NOT, and I repeat, SHOULD NOT manipulate these objects without protection
-Gloves & Covering mouths-.
You can show me a full bunch of twisted "guidelines" in order to support your argument, after all, "that's what History is here for", isn't it?. BUT the real fact is that NOBODY, with a little piece of brain within their heads, should ever touch "directly" these objects. If someone who is wearing gloves cannot measure the importance of these objects & handle them accordingly in a very cautious & respectful way, who tells you they would without these protections? The real fact here is that you want to touch what is not yours. No need to go further. Come on... Go back to basics Owen, this is a terrible argument from your side. Educate yourself, & Lipscomb by the way too, in "Good Manners" towards History, and History makers belongings.
Those objects are not yours, and you definitely are not History makers, your are just "story" tellers. Remember that next time you are in front of an archive full of old historic objects.
Just curious... By any chance, do you know how much saliva is spit out when speaking, Mr Science Guidelines? Hope you can "think" for yourself when filling spaces. No answer required.
And PLEASE, tell the doctors not to wear gloves during surgery, they may not know if the patient is still alive or has already died!! x'D
Illuminate yourself.
Bye!
@@DrOwenEmmerson First I must say that the next answer written by me, on this dialogue, was my answer to your former comment. I added a couple of lines, but I see that you are in front of your device and answered quite inmediately.
Second, if you read yourself, you might realize, "just maybe" in the twisted corners of your mind, that you are either incoherent, a pain in the ... , totally fool or a bloody vampire Dracula's relative... The "owners" hired you? jajajaja.... Now I can see why your "guidelines" are as stupid as can be.
Did you know that the "Malleus maleficarum" was an accepted handbook during centuries to find witches and then kill them? I guess you think this handbook with such guidelines is great!!!
Well, anyway, I am getting tired of you here. Your "practice guidelines" are not correct and definitely NOT based on scientific facts. Lipscomb SHOULD NOT touch these objects directly. And PLEASE, I repeat, ask doctors not to wear gloves while in surgery, they may not know if the patient is still alive or has already died !!! x'D
I think it is about time that you all review your silly "guidelines", Mr Science Inquisitory guidelines x'D
