      @lmprpls 3 ปีที่แล้ว +247

      Anne Boleyn was rumored to have six fingers in her right hand. This is a fallacious rumor created decades after Anne's death and during Elizabeth I reign to slander the latter. It is possible that Anne had an extra nail on the pinky finger of her right hand that generated the propaganda against her
      If Anne had eleven fingers Henry VIII would never consider to marry a woman that could pass such a deformity down to their offspring

      @@WooffzTheCoon well, sure...but lots of people died after Anne of Cleves, that didn't make them "luckier". Of all of Henry's wives, Katherine of Aragon had the most years of happiness. She was [supposedly] happily married (and queen) for 18 or so years (yes, then approx 4 years of fighting and 3.5 years of abusive neglect). Comparatively, Anne had 6 months of anxiety, 7 years of terror(wondering if Henry wanted her back or if he would change his mind about being friendly and kill her), 6 years of financial uncertainty under Edward VI, and finally 2 years of illness culminating in a [probably] painful death by cancer. I think I'd take K's life over Anne's.

    Once when I was a toddler, my mum and a family friend took me to the Tower of London on a quiet day. I ran ahead into the White Tower and tripped over - as my mum ran over to pick me up, I remember that I looked up and saw two young boys looking down at me and talking - one was laughing, and one was crying and holding a candle. I turned around to ask my mum who the boys were, but since she couldn't see anybody, she just assumed it was two kids who must have run away before she had the chance to reprimand the one that was laughing at me. It wasn't until months later when she was showing me pictures from the day, and I'd learned to talk a little better, that I was able to describe them properly to her and I also remembered their names; Richard and Edward. My Mum obviously freaked OUT, because it wasn't like she'd told her 2 year old about 2 kids that probably got murdered in the building we were looking at, and she'd been with me at the time and knew full-well nobody else had mentioned it, so she contacted the Tower to ask about sightings. Sure enough, it's a common occurrence that kids get tripped up in the White Tower, and that a lot of them also report seeing the boys. Spooky.

    I actually feel sorry for Mary. The terrible life she had, and now the terrible legacy she has. To be fair her council pressured her to burn them. She thought God was punishing her by giving her a phantom pregnancy and that it was a sign to do that. And then it being said she will reach out of a mirror and drag you is just scary.

    • @brooke6549

      Mary definitely had a difficult time with her health throughout life which later lead to her phantom, or even tumor, etc but she thought she was pregnant a couple times. But over and over, that wasn’t the case. Marrying Philip was such a mistake because of the way he treated Mary as well.
      The only thing I don’t feel bad for Mary is about her burning so many people alive on the stake. Mainly most of them because of their faith. She was a hard time Christian which really made it an uneasy relationship with her younger half brother Edward when he was on the throne. For her defense?! Almost every person who sat on a throne wasn’t without any type of bloodshed. Still wasn’t right, but maybe another thing could’ve been Mary council pressuring her to make that decision.

      her life sucked (as did most people's lives at that time), but i could imagine, if her ghost is looking down on us, she would be pleased to know that, 500 years later, her legacy has endured......... her represtentation in the film elizabeth might be quite offensive to her, but who doesnt want to be memorialized by having a popular cocktail named after them?...... who wouldnt want to be the boogie man in a children's game/urban legend of the future?

Mary spent many years there and they were probably some of her happiest years, because when she returned to London she found her life had been turned upside down and inside out.
    Elizabeth 1st ghost is also alledgely been seen wandering back and forth across the windows of the Gate house of Richmond Palace. The Gate house is all that is left of the once sprawling palace, and it's from this Gate house that Elizabeth's ring was thrown to a messenger charged with taking the ring to Scotland to inform James V1 in Scotland that Elizabeth 1st was dead and that he was now King of England too. I believe this ring had to be sawn from Elizabeth's finger when she died. The ring was such a tight fit that the skin had grown around it, Elizabeth had married England after all.

He blamed the women for not giving him sons, even though it’s the male that determines the sex of a baby. The ghosts are so sad because they died such horrific deaths. Ann of Cleaves was extremely lucky she was named Henry’s sister and lived a very peaceful life.

      Don’t mean to be too technical but 2nd cousins refer to cousins who share great grandparents and not grandparents. The cousin relationship you are referring to when one’s cousin has a child is actually first cousin once removed.

    I remembered seeing an episode of Black Butler where the protagonist met the ghosts of the princes in the tower as they were trying to remodeled it. It was interesting: Ciel (who is arguably the same age as the king if we disregard dearh years) played chess with him in hopes of winning custody of the tower, but lost because spooky ghost manipulation by the king. Ciel had to let his bulter serve the princes while trying to find a way to put them to rest. In that show, the skeletons that was thought to belong to the boys weren't theirs, as they were killed by a knight in full armor and were tossed into a river where they were eaten away by fishes (hence why there's no remains left of them). It was a cool episode

      @morley364 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Unfortunately I think she probably won't do this since a lot of the 'origins' people claim for these songs lack proof or are faked (one common myth is that Ring around the Rosie is about the plague, for example, despite the modern lyrics not matching the original song and the plague interpretation only showing up after WW2). So it's hard to research the actual origins since she'd have to sort through a lot of misinformation. But a video disproving those stories might be interesting!

      Also on the show, Horrible Histories, it talks about the song/nursery rhyme, London Bridge, being about an incident during the time of King Canute. However, I remember once reading something else in the past. Honestly any video about this topic would be interesting.

      @@MissEliseIsTired Oh I love Horrible Histories! But yeah, the plague one's become really popular unfortunately. I'm really interested in culture that's created and spread largely by children (like jumprope rhymes for example), it's really cool. But since it doesn't involve adults, documentation can be nebulous, especially historically, so it's easy for people to just make things up without others realizing.

    I’ve always had a love of ghost stories. I had a book when I was little that had slew of Tower of London ghost stories. It was what created my fascination first of Anne Boleyn and now of all the Tudors. I think that ghosts are basically imprints of energy. That’s why the same ghost can be seen at different locations like Anne Boleyn. She probably left imprints of energy where she had extreme emotions. Just my opinion
