It’s not like Anne saw Mary was sleeping with Henry and went after him. Mary wasn’t ‘elbowed aside’. She was cast off by two kings and Anne was pursued later against her own will, I believe, until Henry became so intent that any other possible suitor backed off and she had little alternative but to cast her lot with Henry, unless she would have been content to live in a nunnery, perhaps. Phillipa Gregory with her trash book and then Hilary Mantel with her revisionist history of making Cromwell a good guy and Anne a power hungry shrew did a lot of damage to Anne when she was finally being recognized as a more complex, innocent character by historians.
Revisiting this beautiful castle will never be the same with all the new information from the "Wolf Hall" plays. So looking forward to my next time.

Was excited to come across this doc, then immediately disappointed to see Hilary Mantel. There is history, then there is Hilary's version of history.
DIdn't understand a single word. Sound is bad too. Wish they had talked al ittle louder

Mary kept her head, so she won.
Hideous background music is so loud that it detracts from the video. So stupid.
