"Your most loyal and faithful wife" in her last letter to that heartless bastard, says it all. Somewhere in the spirit world, Anne realized her unwanted daughter became England's greatest ruler, and she had a very good laugh!😂
Try Claire Ridgway’s channel: The Anne Boleyn Files and Tudor Society (she covers the entire Tudor drama, not just Anne). She’s also got a website and has written a book series on Anne Boleyn, which I’m slowly but surely working on. Short of becoming a historian, her content and books are about as thorough in detail as you could hope for. I find her to be a most reliable source, as she dutifully sites her sources, and those sources are many. It’s great that creators with limited resources and experience can make polished videos nowadays, but that also means you don’t always know how reliable the source is. Whether from an established source or not, ocumentaries often make statements that are debatable, or even outright false (like in this one where it says Anne was held in Hampton Court instead of the Tower of London). When you consider how they’re often made with the goal of keeping them entertaining so more people will watch, it means that those of us who are looking for more depth and detail, end up with a feeling of “if you’ve watched one, you’ve seen them all”. I personally have experienced the frustration of hearing about some person, place, event, etc. in history that interests me, only to find that there’s very limited information about it on an easily accessible level. Sometimes, if you’re seriously fascinated by a topic, you’ve got to go back to the old methods of research, which can be more work, but if your interest is keen enough, it can be worth the effort. Sorry for the long comment. Guess I’m just passionate about it!
It's how the story and information is told that makes it all entertaining and exciting. And when you put a visual spin to it, it just makes it all the more interesting.
I just hope she got to know that her daughter became the most historical Queen in history ,and led her people into a golden age. And could laugh in Henry's face.
And Elizabeth I ended the Tudor reign by not producing an heir and not naming her successor. She was essentially giving her father a one-fingered salute.
We have a word now for what Henry the 8th was. And that's narcissist. He love bombs them at first, gets tired of them and then gets rid of them in the cruelest way imaginable. The only lucky one was Anne of Cleves.
She was lucky because Henry himself found her "ugly" and the marriage was only arranged for political reasons (at that point Henry had a male heir who would succeed him as far as he knew). He wanted none of her in his life and allowed her a quiet and generous exit.
@@_fawkes i think there was more to it than her just being "ugly" in a lot of her portraits she was quite pretty, but they did like to touch them up a bit. It almost felt like it because some sort of mutual agreement between them. And they even remained friends.
Catherine part survived . I’m descended from some of her relations, so we managed nicely. As a woman I marvel at the cunning and intrigue and political alliances and early marriages, and often ( mostly ) lack of love marriages we had to endure.the stress must have been incredible. Several of my many great grandfathers lost heads( luckily after having issue or I would not be here.
you would only have 4 great grandfathers. and how did they lose their heads? since beheading was not that common in the UK in the era they woudl have lived in@@viviengiannacaple-chuley4408
As a historian, my heart goes out to her. She was done wrong by a man who, if he were alive today, would have lost his head because science has proven it is the man who determines the sex of a child. As the daughter of a scientist, I would love to have more proof of her spirit in the form of CCTV or photos. With that said, she sure gets around a lot.
Not that she deserved death or anything, but she was involved with a married man, actively sought to break up the marriage, and after she succeeded, she was not kind to Catherine.
@@nanettejohnson6244 you're not a white European, what do you know about our history, the women etc? You funny Americans always pro death penalty, right?
I believe that Anne was buried with her hand under her arm, because there wasn't space in the arrow box that she was buried in had enough room to put it over the rest of her body. A lot of her stories, of her ghost, portray her that way. She had a violent end which means she never got peace.
She had an easy death compared to many of their subjects. If anyone needs to be ghosting about it is the thousands whose names we do not know being drawn, quartered, burnt etc.
How much choice did a woman really have in whether they became a romantic partner to a king? It was risk your reputation, or risk biting the hand that fed not only you, but your family.
Exactly!! If you were so unfortunate to catch the eye of King Henry VIII, you had little choice but to eventually give in or prepare yourself for you and your family to suffer from his wrath, and that could mean you and your family falling out of favor, being stripped of wealth and property & even imprisonment on trumped up charges. It was a damned if you do and damned if you don’t situation.
Yes. Offering up a daughter, a sister, niece, could guarantee the family would find favor, and the family could move up in society, being awarded with vast estates, land, money, etc. Your life could be turned upside down in mere minutes if the King was on a rant or was feeling especially benevolent the day you encountered him. King Henry VIII’s temperament changed drastically after he had the closed head injury while jousting. Most people think that the human skull is smooth on the inside but it is not. There are several little bones that have rough edges and when you experience a CHI and your brain gets jostled around, those small rough edged bones can cause small pinprick hemorrhages to the brain. After sustaining the CHI, his personality changed, he began to experience debilitating migraine headaches, he had terrible mood swings…all indicators of a CHI. I almost feel sorry for the poor man but his cruelty towards his wives stops that notion its tracks. If only Jane Seymour had lived after giving King Henry VIII a son. 2 other women could have been saved from his clutches and I’m so glad that Catherine Parr survived him, even though her life afterwards was less than ideal. She married Thomas Seymour for love but I think all he saw were dollar signs.
Anne had a choice. She knew that in denying Henry sex she was encouraging him to pursue her. She was also adamant that she wouldn’t be a mere mistress, as her sister had been. She would settle only for being Henry’s wife. That’s why Henry ripped the country in two when he broke with Rome and the Roman Catholic Church in order to have her. It’s quite wrong and demeaning to Anne, an intelligent, strong woman, to say see her purely as a victim of a system that puts women down. Anne knew what she was doing, but she ultimately gambled and lost.
When I was a child I visited the Tower of London. In the White Tower I asked a woman in period dress a question about Henry VIII’s armour. She answered in a strange accent. On the way out my mother asked a beefeater who the woman was supposed to be. He answered that there was no tour guide in the room. He called security but the woman couldn’t be found! Do you think she was a ghost?
Anne was not held at Hampton Court after her arrest but at the Queens House within the Tower where she stayed before her coronation. From there she was led to the scaffold in front of the white tower. She had been arrested at Greenwich Palace and rowed down the Thames to the tower.
Royals the same for centuries ie bleeding the people dry of mon ey so they starve even if they own land, farm etc, using people as soldiers to steal more land and loot the world for centuries. They hide it better today due to com plicit MSM, governments etc but UK royals still looting the world and committing genocide but now with USA to help them. Palestine genocide and man y other countries based on Zionist aggression ue Israel which British Royals/Rothschilds created to take over Middle East strategically and financially. UK toyalty are related to most or all European royals due to Queen V ictoria planning it that way - ie farm out all her children to marry other Royals in Eurooe for more power and wealth ( just like Rothschild did with banking - Rothschilds sired a few UK Royals as payment for huge loans by Royals to stave off bankruptcy after Napoleoinc wars etc Until Royals out of power, ( Charles is senior WEF with William - WEF agenda is depopulation of billions of 'Useless Eaters' WEF boss Schwab says openly) . The Royals hate the people but are taught to smile and wave to look as if they care. Until UK royals got rid of, UK and the work will be poor and depopulated radically eg 'vxeens', wars (v profitable for bankers)
All Royals, and commoners as well, were obsessed with having a male heir for the throne. Women were not eligible for the monarchs' position at that time, and Henry was hyper-focused on doing his duty by providing the realm with an heir to the throne. Therefore, he was no more cruel than anyone else at that time. You can not judge historic events and people by the ideas, morals, and perspectives we hold today. As you've probably heard it said, "Times and ideas were different back then!" And it's true- they really were!
IF SHE DIDN'T SCREAM AT HER OWN ACTUAL BEHEADING WHY WOULD SHE SCREAM AROUND AS A GHOST?! She was ambitious but no more than any of the other courtiers, she didn't deserve to be accused of all the things she was accused of or to be legally murdered. But in a small way she won, her daughter Elizebeth1 was one of the best and best loved monarchs England ever had. I kind of hope Henry paid for what he did to her. The people only hated her because she had the nerve to take what she could from Henry's obsession, since it had already cost her the love she had before Henry. They called her whore because she was successful, because that is what men call any woman who becomes successful enough to threaten them. She might have survived if she had quietly had Cromwell taken out instead of threatening him. Her worst mistake was in under estimating Cromwell power and value to the King and over estimating her own importance to henry.
Read more, type less. You do not know enough yet. Boleyn was done for mainly because she failed to produce a male heir. That was Henry's true obsession and his duty to his kingdom. A queen was a means to an end, not the primary objective.
Poor Anne Boleyn. The only thing she ever did wrong was fail to give Henry a healthy prince or two. She never cheated or betrayed him. Henry had her executed out of innate cruelty and spite Plus unlike Catherine of Aragon she didn't have a Spanish royal brother or father to go to war with England for if Henry had had Catherine executed. In the end Anne power powerful father and Howard uncle both betrayed her as well as her brother George and washed their hands of her for politics, period. Too,too bad for Anne and her brother. But Anne had given birth to an unwanted daughter who became England's greatest queen, Elizabeth I who led England into a golden age. Who had the last laugh?
I do believe if anyone had a right to be a very unhappy ghost it is Anne Boleyn Poor woman was betrayed and beheaded, all very wrongly. She did give England one of its best monarchs, Elizabeth I Even more tragic, though, are the two little Princes of the Tower of London, two innocent children, murdered for their throne. ....
From a private tour at Hampton, in the Great Hall, we learned when they were getting rid of Anne's initials/coat of arms back in the 1500's, etc, they forgot one in the carvings, which you can still see today.
During the early 70s I served in the WRAC. I went out with guards that guarded the Tower of London and one of these guards said he had seen Anne Boylyn twice.
Why does this Documentary remind me of the spooky stories that always pop up around Halloween/Samhain which is another reason why I love that time of year.
@@Garbeaux. Samhain is the precursor of Halloween Samhain, Sauin or Oíche Shamhna is a Gaelic festival on 1 November marking the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter or "darker half" of the year. It is also the Irish language name for November. Celebrations begin on the evening of 31 October, since the Celtic day began and ended at sunset.
In 2010 I was standing quietly in front of the crystal monument on the site of Anne's beheading . A voice text me me clearly said 'I am innocent, I did not do these things'. I was standing alone at the time. I feel honored that Anne let me hear her voice. I'm not a stranger to clairvoyance and clairaudience, so i wasn't afraid at all
This is the first I've heard of her being kept at Hampton Court Palace after she was arrested. I was always under the impression she was taken directly to the Tower of London.
I think she was definitely at the tower. Master Kingston's recollection of her states her being held in the tower and nothing states Hampton Court. If I'm wrong I'll hold my hands up but I'm 99.9% confident that she was in the tower prior to her execution.
All historical documentation clearly states she was arrested and taken to the Tower via Traitor's Gate. She was housed in the same rooms that she was housed in for her coronation.
There's an interesting story in a National Trust ghost book i have. Blickling Hall was closed for to visitors but some guys arrived delivering some painting to put on display and a lady in period costume signed for the painting being delivered and then she vanished. Apparently the painting was of her daughter Elizabeth I.
Gezzzz. These woman, so smart, so amazing, born in such a horrible time for woman. The lies that took AB down along with KH, any so many other lies in between; caused both of their demises at the hand of the executioner. I have no idea how these men slept at night with all the blood they had on their hands. AB, did leave a gift, most amazing gift, Elizabeth! In a way, that was the middle finger in the end to the Tudor blood line. No children and no marriage. Just a strong and amazing woman, who brought peace and power back to England.
@@nuthinmuffins5073 i did not say it was..I just mentioned that she, unlike Anne, did commit adultery...and no it is not a reason for execution...however, being the wife of a king, regardless of wanting to be or not, best not get caught sleeping with someone else ...because, as we all know in those times, men's egos were(in their own deluded minds) needing to be pampered and they believed they had a righteous reason to remove your wife in any way they see fit. Men were free to do as they will with whomever they see fit, but not wives of kings especially...she being in the royal court would have know full well the consequences of her actions...its a pity she did not take more care...it is sadly what happened in those times .... that being said, no need to assume i had no idea of what is considered heinous!
I personally think she has a sense of humour, the tale I heard of her arriving in a coach driven by a headless driver and carrying her own head, must surely be to poke fun at herself and the public. And I’m pretty sure she knows how popular she is today.
Hopefully her daughter becoming the most famous queen is something she laughs at holding that head all he wanted was a son & his daughters were the most infamous even Mary
I don't doubt the eye witness accounts but why have cameras not been installed to capture potential sightings if the ghost is said to appear at regular intervals?
That's what I don't understand. One would think a camera or two at the Tower would catch one of these wandering ghosts. I'm sure they have cameras all over to catch intruders.
Interesting historical account! It's fascinating how tales of the past linger in the present, shaping our perceptions of places like Blickling Hall and Hampton Court Palace. As for Anne Boleyn's ghost, I wonder if she's still searching for her lost head or if she's finally found some peace. Ghosts and history sure make for a chilling combination! 😄
I don't know those places h I never, gheez i agreed with changes in " past to presnt" little has changed. Difference? AI, and internet , Instagram, face book tick stock etc. Ok think about it.
@@beverleyheadley-glover371 It sounds like you are reflecting on how much has changed in the world due to advances in technology, such as the development of artificial intelligence, the internet, and social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Snapchat. These technologies have undoubtedly revolutionized the way we communicate, connect, and navigate our daily lives. It's interesting to think about how much has changed in a relatively short period of time, and how these advancements continue to shape our society in new and unexpected ways.
The thing is, he wasn't. As a young man he did very good things, like art, write music & the 1st peace treaty. But then there was a jousting accident. After that he was never the same. Very likely frontal lobe damage and constant pain & infection in his body turned him from visionary to tyrant, who had hallucinations, depression, and blamed everyone else when he didn't get his way or things he did went wrong.
Deserves WAY more views. I'm so infatuated with distant past ESP Tudors. Meanwhile my family all on their phones watching stupid FB reels of people falling or some dumb shit.
She was kept in the coronation apartments in the Tower of London before her execution, not Hampton Court. In fact, she was never kept at Hampton Court.
Perhaps Henry recieved a bit of the bad karma he earned as he was never buried in the grand tomb he designed and wished his children to build. He still lies in the very small niche in Saint George's chapel, Windsor where he was first placed near his Queen, Jane Seymour.
That actually happened a lot with Kings and Queens. They rarely get the splendid and expensive burial they intend. The next lot want to spend the money on themselves 😅 so they get left where they are. I wish Henry had received true karma within his lifetime. At least in death the world craps on what a failure he was.
@@jessjess23brooks89 He died in agony from sepsis stemming from his leg infection. He was so disabled the last several years of his life that he had to be carried around. His wound(s) made him smell like death.
I find it strange that a such a talented man, who started out as a fair-minded and genial Prince, became such a vicious tyrant in his later years. The Tudors were absolute monarchs (as opposed to the Stuarts who came after them & were obliged to rule with the consent of parliament). Henry VIII was all-powerful, and apparently those who lived at court were terrified of offending him.
People say after so many years the spirit presence will fade. The reason these spirits don't fade and cross over is because their memory is still alive and people go there from all over and awaken their presence. Otherwise I mean if ghosts were real. Their presence would linger out after their memory is no more. Personally I watched this for the history but I can imagine how spooky these places must seem after such time has passed.
@@valkyriesardo278 Good question. Yes I think they are alive in imagination since we never knew them we only imagine what they were like. I guess you have a point.
What everyone keeps forgetting is that divorce was not a thing before Henry’s divorce. When she initially rebuffed him she’d have no way of knowing divorce was even possible or that she would ever become queen. I think she turned him down not out of ambition but honestly didn’t want to be a mistress and have extramarital sex.
Poor AB was a most tragic victim of a very cruel king Why couldn't,t he have just divorced her and let her live someplace unharmed without killing her or anybody else and had actually let her see her daughter sometimes? Oh yes, compassion and simple human kindness was simply not his style, was it? All those acts of evil and homicidal cruelty helped end the Tudor name and male line. Because of it Elizabeth had such a phobia about marriage and procreation that it was only through his elder sister Margaret and the Stuarts that continued the royal line of England
She was never kept at court (Hampton) She was imprisoned in the Queens apartments in The Tower of London. The very same apartments She stayed at, the night before her coronation. She had 4 ladies in waiting with her too! One is recorded as "Lady Boleyn" which Lady this refers to is still disputed today, whether it was Ann's Aunt (Anne Tempest) or her Sister inlaw (Elizabeth Boleyn *was* Wood) Either way, they were all imprisoned at the Tower of London.
@Hilz28 ofc yes! Probably was! How she wangled her way out of all that, to then be invited back to court for Anne of Cleaves and Catherine Howard, and her involvement in the latter which in turn, caught red-handed and lost her head too! Poor women, trying to survive during those times! Xx
Catherine of Aragon was a perfect wife to Henry, but was brutally discarded by her disloyal, philandering husband. They don't call men whores, more the pity, because that's exactly what he was. Their daughter Mary suffered so much heartache and abuse at the whims of her betraying father, being separated from her mother, stripped from her title, and knowing how her mother suffered at the hands of her self absorbed father. Being a stifling Patriarchy, naturally, all blame for their respective fates fell upon Anne, who dared to have ambition. Subservience and unfailing dedication for her husband only brought Catherine humiliation, sickness and isolation. Anne, in turn, must have suffered horribly through her miscarriages; neither woman was responsible for the loss of Mary and Elizabeth's potential siblings, but blamed they were for not "providing" the great gluton with his precious male heir. As if they wouldn't have moved heaven and earth to bear a son. Henry and his misogynistic partners in crime tried to obliterate Anne's memory and make Catherine disappear into a nunnery. I understand that Henry suffered exponentially as he grew older, with his rotound body and reeking leg ulcer. That makes me glad. I hope he rotted from the inside out right up to the time he gasped his shoddy last breath. Cheers.
@@_fawkes Anne of Cleves let him annul the marriage without a fight, which earned his gratitude. He called her his "sister" and set her up royally for life.
Anne's whole story is heartbreaking. Henry was a monster. As bad as Longshanks. I hope he is cursed and in hell for an eternity for all the pain and suffering he caused to so many.
Damn! That was brilliant! Great and unique analysis! I’ve seen and read quite a bit on him, as much as there was possibly I could find. Your in-depth theories really happily surprised me! Loved it! Keep going!!
as much as there was possibly I could find - - - lol , you are really interested in this man, would it show you liked him, or are fascinated to know why he did what he did?
@@MarixpozaI kinda get u im never sure if I'm a ann boleyn fan or not as truly I feel for her very much however totally get u how could u be with any man king hemry or not if he'd not long finished wiv ur sister( and only hd hr purely for sexual.purposes ) like urghhh 🤑 never understood this willingness to keep it in the family a medieval thing I think cos they do this a lot throughout this period an in there marriage choices aswell a lot of the time distante family members witch i think basically made a dysfunctional situation ten times worse cos of it
@@KatyWilson-df1qwmy view is Anne wasn't guilty of the charges she faced and shouldn't have died the way she did, but she treated Princess Mary (Queen Mary I) very cruelly.
@@MarixpozaYou have to put it in context of the social norms at the Tudor court. The King was expected to keep mistresses. Ambitous wealthy aristocratic families actively pimped their daughters to be Royal Mistresses or wives. Women were pawns to make advantageous marriages with other high status families . The Boleyns tried to tempt Henry with Anne's sister Mary first, but the King lost interest quickly. Being a Kings Mistress gave the family power, status, gifts of homes & land & once he was done, the mistress got a good high status marriage to an aristocrat that the King arranged & pre approved .
Katherine Howard was first held at Hampton court, and then moved to Sion House. When the sentence of death was given she was then moved to the Tower and joined Lady Rochford (Jane Boleyn) to await death... The narrator of this needs to brush up on his Tudor history
I have often stood on the walls of the Tower of London looking down at the Traitor's Gate and thought about all those people, innocent and guilty, who had passed through the gate after their last journey on the river Thames. May their souls rest in peace. ❤❤❤
Anne didn't miscarry on the same day Katherine died. Katherine died on 7 Jan 1536. Henry had his jousting accident on 24 Jan 1536, and then Anne miscarried on the 29th. So many inaccuracies in this show. I'm honestly surprised Henry didn't have some underling poison Katherine, and then have that unfortunate fellow killed. He could spend some time "mourning" and then marry Anne legitimately.
@@ileanaacacostaacosta1813so difficult to think that anyone actually believes this. How would you possibly know that she is still there after all these years? If she is still in purgatory is she given leave for good behavior to be able to continue to haunt these places ?
@@marydbaker In purgatory all souls go to pay for sins and transgressions they committed their lifetime she was cruel to Mary and Katherine who never harmed her she was a homewrecker and helped to destroy the old church and made an marry her while still married to his first wife and all this things keep her tied in earth for 500 years so we must to make requiem masses for Anne s soul until one day she will stop hunting places and go to rest in heaven forever you will see 500?years is more than enough it's time to rest in heaven forever
If you believe this Catholic doctrine, fine - but don't inflict it on the rest of us, who prefer to have open minds. And don't rubbish what other people believe.
This is actually when I was in London in 2017. I did not expect these feelings and sensations that there were many souls (ghosts)on the streets and underground in the metro. It was a very strange feeling, a feeling that people had been killed especially women killed for unknown reasons., and I felt ghosts when I went on the streets.
I do love ❤️ the way that they danced during the Renaissance, and I do certainly wish that I could copy these dances, but since I am not a very good person/dancer,and I have 4flat feet, I do not believe that i could fit in the dance 😢
Yeah Henry's behavior is just too gross wayyyy too gross. He did not fit to be tye king of England if he continue his actions like fore example that just having a male heir. If his consort didn't had a male heir he just divorce or execute his consort then replace another consort. He has. Abad bad behavior I disliked him
Such fascinating and rich history. Our soil is drenched in blood and injustice. Men with power, influence and wealth still draw in almost any woman they want so not much has changed either throughout history.
The hood was worn in different ways. For a formal occasion it was worn high, like a crown. For an informal occasion it was more lax and worn lower. Still, I don't feel like she would have worn it at all while in confinement or awaiting her death.
@@stephaniemabee2830 You're probably right about the variations. It looked weird to me. I agree she wouldn't have worn anything so fancy while awaiting death etc… but don't you think that she would have had her hair covered with a simple coif? It's a bit of a bug bear that they never seem to get the head coverings right… or to understand that hair was covered throughout history, unless you were a prostitute or very very poor.
A few weeks ago I stayed on the grounds of Hever Castle. I was able to walk around after it was closed. There is a period looking hotel on the grounds. Sadly, no ghost. No ghost at Hampton Court or the Tower or anywhere else. Henry tried to erase her and here we all are watching, talking and arguing about her all these years later. I find all of his wives fascinating. I imagine all of them after Anne must have slept with one eye open. It’s one thing to worry about being cast aside, quite another to worry about losing your head.
Anne of Cleaves didn't have to worry about losing her head too much. King Henry had to be nice to her if he didn't want to provoke a war with her powerful relatives.
At 9:50, "(The King) sends her the bodies of dead deer he has hunted for her." I remember once telling my girlfriend, "If I had two dead rats, I'd give you one." I understand entirely!
It was like Anne was Rh negative. Elizabeth her first child would have been born without issue whether Elizabeth was Rh neg or positive. All other pregnancies would have been doomed to stillborn or miscarriage. Sex of the baby is due to the father, but Rh is a factor of the mother.
True. Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard were not King Henry's only victims. They number in the thousands. Some ghosts don't remember how they died, who they were, or even know they're actually dead.
Reports said she did haunt henry on the last days of his life. Henry reported that she saw her ghost on all fours once, looking for her head and screaming "henry my love where is my head?"
Anne was held in the Tower of London during her trial and awaiting her execution. She was kept in the same chambers that she occupied during the days before her coronation. If you're going to tell a history, GET IT RIGHT!
I read that the incident of 1864, the guard stated that the female form he challenged was whole. Not head less. The officer who witnessed it from a window above also stated that the figure was whole. They still think it was Ann Boleyn, but she was not headless. I would like to see and read the transcripts of that Court martial.
Another nice professional video on Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII. Why can’t we get ONE of these about John of Gaunt and Katherine Swynford? Everybody in royal Europe is and was descended from one or both of them. But no, more on Anne…

What choice do you think you would have had. Your family would have pushed you like the female pawn you were. You might have escaped to a convent, you might have killed yourself, maybe you could have taken a lover quickly at court and lost your reputation, your families respect, your own good name. You would have had no way to make money, you could have disappeared into obscurity perhaps as a seamstress, but you were likely never alone. In short there wasn’t much option for a woman then. If you didn’t flatter and fawn Henry you likely would lose your head be tortured or taken prisoner for life. I descend from many of the names bandied about in Henry 7ths and 8ths court, and I’m astonished that my ancestors survived at all.
Okay,then one at court should’ve been a maid?But,you know,this was the modern equivalent of divorce like today,but,with no beheading.This would be wrong 😑 in todays society,because,it would be murder to kill you’re wife!I think,I’ve said enough,here?Because,I know,that I’m not descended from a 👑 crown!

It is said that when Murders die, they are immediately confronted by their victims. Would have loved to see that meeting between Anne and her Murderer before he faced God's judges 😂
When I was little my father used to sing old songs to me including Anne's about how she walked the bloody tower with her head tucked underneath her arm at the midnight hour.
Spirits are naturally all around us, they can come and go as they wish for their own reasons unless they are stuck here. Anne’s spirit chose and knew her destiny when it chose to incarnate in human form to learn lessons from it and to play a part in destiny as without Anne and her time as queen our country would be a very different place religiously, she played a massive part in what we are today for good or bad depending on our views.
Chrissper, I do believe that u are more than correct, because henry the 8 was a very horrible man/murderer, who murdered his many wives, by chopping off their heads 😢🎉
How horrific to have been a woman.. Pretty much throughout history in one place or another or everywhere at once. Just cattle. Nothing but a thing to take from until there was nothing left to take.
Many have their beliefs in regard to Anne, but there are no hard proven reasons she was executed. There is no hard evidence of adultery, and she may have been able to produce a male heir in time… time was probably more her enemy, he tired of her, as he likely would have any Queen. She was a victim of very bad timing. It wasn’t just about a male heir, although of course that played a part. He could dominate Jane Seymour & she was younger than Anne … so he decides to rid himself of her. So sad, but the cards they played at court then. Sadly the risk any of them took
All Henry's letters to Anne have been stored in Vatican Archives since they were stolen from Hampton Court around 1529 or 1530. It has been suggested that Wolsey was responsible, and passed them to Cardinal Campeggio who was on his way back to Rome.
I it's not true on Ann part it's just king Henry tired of her he uses his power to do and accused Ann of having an affair in fact Ann caught king Henrys infidelity that cause of her miscarriage..
She saw what happened to her sister and didn't want that to be her fate. Also, he was the KING. It's not as if she could really say no, especially when you factor in her father and uncle Norfolk who only saw their her as a pawn. Given how public a life she led, there was no way for her to carry on an affair with anyone even had she wanted to. Anne's issue with Cromwell stemmed from their differing views on how to use the wealth of the catholic churches Henry dissolved. Anne was still concerned over the fates of the poor who relied on monasteries, while Cromwell was more about funding universities (and lining his own pockets).
If Blickling Hall's indeed haunted by Anne Boleyn, then there must be lots of instances of ghosts walking through walls, because the building that's there now is 17th Century, that was built on the ruins of the original Boleyn hall. In other words, it's an area haunting, rather than haunting the building itself.
It was said that when Henry VIII was approaching, that a whif of him could be detected from 3 rooms away! Phewww! Those leg ulcers of his must have really "stanketh" or "stunketh", or just smelled "badlyeth".... Or something like that, he raised a lot of noses he smelled so bad. Pheweth!
"Your most loyal and faithful wife" in her last letter to that heartless bastard, says it all.
Somewhere in the spirit world, Anne realized her unwanted daughter became England's greatest ruler, and she had a very good laugh!😂
She was a clout chasing homewrecker. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Power is a double edged sword in the hands of a careless person.
If only renowned British historians had your deep professional insight! Do please expand on your interesting theory and educate us all.

Why do I keep watching Anne Bolelyn docs somehow expecting new information?
Try Claire Ridgway’s channel: The Anne Boleyn Files and Tudor Society (she covers the entire Tudor drama, not just Anne). She’s also got a website and has written a book series on Anne Boleyn, which I’m slowly but surely working on. Short of becoming a historian, her content and books are about as thorough in detail as you could hope for. I find her to be a most reliable source, as she dutifully sites her sources, and those sources are many. It’s great that creators with limited resources and experience can make polished videos nowadays, but that also means you don’t always know how reliable the source is. Whether from an established source or not, ocumentaries often make statements that are debatable, or even outright false (like in this one where it says Anne was held in Hampton Court instead of the Tower of London). When you consider how they’re often made with the goal of keeping them entertaining so more people will watch, it means that those of us who are looking for more depth and detail, end up with a feeling of “if you’ve watched one, you’ve seen them all”. I personally have experienced the frustration of hearing about some person, place, event, etc. in history that interests me, only to find that there’s very limited information about it on an easily accessible level. Sometimes, if you’re seriously fascinated by a topic, you’ve got to go back to the old methods of research, which can be more work, but if your interest is keen enough, it can be worth the effort. Sorry for the long comment. Guess I’m just passionate about it!
I'm in the same loop lol
Me too 😂
Me too 😮 I thought I was alone !! Hi there 👋
It's how the story and information is told that makes it all entertaining and exciting. And when you put a visual spin to it, it just makes it all the more interesting.
I just hope she got to know that her daughter became the most historical Queen in history ,and led her people into a golden age.
And could laugh in Henry's face.
But as a narcissist, he'd actually be proud. He was nothing but an entitled murderer.
@@aspadeaspade7163 I believe that Henry VIII had brain bruising as a result of the jousting accident. It turns people into a Jekyll/Hyde personality.
And Elizabeth I ended the Tudor reign by not producing an heir and not naming her successor. She was essentially giving her father a one-fingered salute.
Ohhhh she did.. you can trust that ❤
We just out here pretending that Anne was innocent huh
She must be an incredibly busy ghost haunting everywhere for 500 years....
I once heard she even haunted a small town in Michigan, USA. She must be truly booked and blessed

I shouldn't think she's got anything else to do 😂😊
We have a word now for what Henry the 8th was. And that's narcissist. He love bombs them at first, gets tired of them and then gets rid of them in the cruelest way imaginable. The only lucky one was Anne of Cleves.
She was lucky because Henry himself found her "ugly" and the marriage was only arranged for political reasons (at that point Henry had a male heir who would succeed him as far as he knew). He wanted none of her in his life and allowed her a quiet and generous exit.
@@_fawkes i think there was more to it than her just being "ugly" in a lot of her portraits she was quite pretty, but they did like to touch them up a bit. It almost felt like it because some sort of mutual agreement between them. And they even remained friends.
Yes. To have this kind of unlimited power was the ultimate aim of a full blown narcissist. That's what made him so dangerous.
Catherine part survived . I’m descended from some of her relations, so we managed nicely. As a woman I marvel at the cunning and intrigue and political alliances and early marriages, and often ( mostly ) lack of love marriages we had to endure.the stress must have been incredible. Several of my many great grandfathers lost heads( luckily after having issue or I would not be here.
you would only have 4 great grandfathers. and how did they lose their heads? since beheading was not that common in the UK in the era they woudl have lived in@@viviengiannacaple-chuley4408
As a historian, my heart goes out to her. She was done wrong by a man who, if he were alive today, would have lost his head because science has proven it is the man who determines the sex of a child. As the daughter of a scientist, I would love to have more proof of her spirit in the form of CCTV or photos. With that said, she sure gets around a lot.
⁰
One sick abusive being
It's thought that Henry also probably had syphilis or another STD, which is why his wives gave birth to so many weak or stillborn babies.
Not that she deserved death or anything, but she was involved with a married man, actively sought to break up the marriage, and after she succeeded, she was not kind to Catherine.
@@nanettejohnson6244 you're not a white European, what do you know about our history, the women etc? You funny Americans always pro death penalty, right?
Anne is my favourite of all historical figures. Blickling is ten miles away from us. A beautiful place.
I believe that Anne was buried with her hand under her arm, because there wasn't space in the arrow box that she was buried in had enough room to put it over the rest of her body. A lot of her stories, of her ghost, portray her that way. She had a violent end which means she never got peace.
Did you mean head instead of hand?
so do comic songs
She had an easy death compared to many of their subjects. If anyone needs to be ghosting about it is the thousands whose names we do not know being drawn, quartered, burnt etc.
How much choice did a woman really have in whether they became a romantic partner to a king? It was risk your reputation, or risk biting the hand that fed not only you, but your family.
Exactly!! If you were so unfortunate to catch the eye of King Henry VIII, you had little choice but to eventually give in or prepare yourself for you and your family to suffer from his wrath, and that could mean you and your family falling out of favor, being stripped of wealth and property & even imprisonment on trumped up charges. It was a damned if you do and damned if you don’t situation.
I'd say absolutely none. Not that men got off lightly. From Thomas Moore to Cromwell and so many more.
@MeMe-nw9mq RIGHT? Often time, their male relatives would offer them up as well. Complete dhit show.
Yes. Offering up a daughter, a sister, niece, could guarantee the family would find favor, and the family could move up in society, being awarded with vast estates, land, money, etc. Your life could be turned upside down in mere minutes if the King was on a rant or was feeling especially benevolent the day you encountered him. King Henry VIII’s temperament changed drastically after he had the closed head injury while jousting. Most people think that the human skull is smooth on the inside but it is not. There are several little bones that have rough edges and when you experience a CHI and your brain gets jostled around, those small rough edged bones can cause small pinprick hemorrhages to the brain. After sustaining the CHI, his personality changed, he began to experience debilitating migraine headaches, he had terrible mood swings…all indicators of a CHI. I almost feel sorry for the poor man but his cruelty towards his wives stops that notion its tracks. If only Jane Seymour had lived after giving King Henry VIII a son. 2 other women could have been saved from his clutches and I’m so glad that Catherine Parr survived him, even though her life afterwards was less than ideal. She married Thomas Seymour for love but I think all he saw were dollar signs.
Anne had a choice. She knew that in denying Henry sex she was encouraging him to pursue her. She was also adamant that she wouldn’t be a mere mistress, as her sister had been. She would settle only for being Henry’s wife. That’s why Henry ripped the country in two when he broke with Rome and the Roman Catholic Church in order to have her. It’s quite wrong and demeaning to Anne, an intelligent, strong woman, to say see her purely as a victim of a system that puts women down. Anne knew what she was doing, but she ultimately gambled and lost.
When I was a child I visited the Tower of London. In the White Tower I asked a woman in period dress a question about Henry VIII’s armour. She answered in a strange accent. On the way out my mother asked a beefeater who the woman was supposed to be. He answered that there was no tour guide in the room. He called security but the woman couldn’t be found! Do you think she was a ghost?
What was her response?
WOW!!! Exciting!
I’d have gone back to ask more Q’s! Like “who are you”? Ect! Amazing!
@@t.m.a.3665 I asked if it fit and I think she said she saw him wear it only once and it was too small. She wasn’t scary.
Yes.
A strange accent? I wish u could have been more descriptive
Anne was not held at Hampton Court after her arrest but at the Queens House within the Tower where she stayed before her coronation. From there she was led to the scaffold in front of the white tower. She had been arrested at Greenwich Palace and rowed down the Thames to the tower.
Agreed, she was never held at Hampton Court after her arrest.
I'm glad it isn't just me going "huh??" at that part. Definitely held in the tower.
I get disappointed every time they do this! They should know better.
They could be getting her mixed up with her cousin, Catherine Howard.
@@1Gladiatrix Catherine was soon moved to Syon Abbey where she was kept and interrogated before she went to the Tower.....poor wee girl.
Henry was a cruel man obsessed with gaining a male heir to the throne. He destroyed so many lives.
Please ask permission to publish info after final research. Thank you.
@@beverleyheadley-glover371 Please explain.
Yeah. Man, if he only knew, he was the one determining the sex of the baby. Not the woman lol
Royals the same for centuries ie bleeding the people dry of mon ey so they starve even if they own land, farm etc, using people as soldiers to steal more land and loot the world for centuries. They hide it better today due to com plicit MSM, governments etc but UK royals still looting the world and committing genocide but now with USA to help them. Palestine genocide and man y other countries based on Zionist aggression ue Israel which British Royals/Rothschilds created to take over Middle East strategically and financially. UK toyalty are related to most or all European royals due to Queen V ictoria planning it that way - ie farm out all her children to marry other Royals in Eurooe for more power and wealth ( just like Rothschild did with banking - Rothschilds sired a few UK Royals as payment for huge loans by Royals to stave off bankruptcy after Napoleoinc wars etc Until Royals out of power, ( Charles is senior WEF with William - WEF agenda is depopulation of billions of 'Useless Eaters' WEF boss Schwab says openly) . The Royals hate the people but are taught to smile and wave to look as if they care. Until UK royals got rid of, UK and the work will be poor and depopulated radically eg 'vxeens', wars (v profitable for bankers)
All Royals, and commoners as well, were obsessed with having a male heir for the throne. Women were not eligible for the monarchs' position at that time, and Henry was hyper-focused on doing his duty by providing the realm with an heir to the throne. Therefore, he was no more cruel than anyone else at that time. You can not judge historic events and people by the ideas, morals, and perspectives we hold today. As you've probably heard it said, "Times and ideas were different back then!" And it's true- they really were!
IF SHE DIDN'T SCREAM AT HER OWN ACTUAL BEHEADING WHY WOULD SHE SCREAM AROUND AS A GHOST?! She was ambitious but no more than any of the other courtiers, she didn't deserve to be accused of all the things she was accused of or to be legally murdered. But in a small way she won, her daughter Elizebeth1 was one of the best and best loved monarchs England ever had. I kind of hope Henry paid for what he did to her. The people only hated her because she had the nerve to take what she could from Henry's obsession, since it had already cost her the love she had before Henry. They called her whore because she was successful, because that is what men call any woman who becomes successful enough to threaten them. She might have survived if she had quietly had Cromwell taken out instead of threatening him. Her worst mistake was in under estimating Cromwell power and value to the King and over estimating her own importance to henry.
Read more, type less. You do not know enough yet. Boleyn was done for mainly because she failed to produce a male heir. That was Henry's true obsession and his duty to his kingdom. A queen was a means to an end, not the primary objective.
Poor Anne Boleyn. The only thing she ever did wrong was fail to give Henry a healthy prince or two. She never cheated or betrayed him.
Henry had her executed out of innate cruelty and spite
Plus unlike Catherine of Aragon she didn't have a Spanish royal brother or father to go to war with England for if Henry had had Catherine executed. In the end Anne power powerful father and Howard uncle both betrayed her as well as her brother George and washed their hands of her for politics, period.
Too,too bad for Anne and her brother.
But Anne had given birth to an unwanted daughter who became England's greatest queen, Elizabeth I who led England into a golden age.
Who had the last laugh?
wasn't it Elizabeth ll ?
@@mandykeane196what are you asking?
I am telling uou. In those days, or rather century, women were wow!!! Had nothing and were treated as well......?
I do believe if anyone had a right to be a very unhappy ghost it is Anne Boleyn
Poor woman was betrayed and beheaded, all very wrongly. She did give England one of its best monarchs, Elizabeth I
Even more tragic, though, are the two little Princes of the Tower of London, two innocent children, murdered for their throne.
....
She also took part in betrayal.
It's like the movie Godfather. Two little boys were killed ... The author could have drawn from rl
From a private tour at Hampton, in the Great Hall, we learned when they were getting rid of Anne's initials/coat of arms back in the 1500's, etc, they forgot one in the carvings, which you can still see today.
There’s actually two of them

During the early 70s I served in the WRAC. I went out with guards that guarded the Tower of London and one of these guards said he had seen Anne Boylyn twice.
Did she wave?
Why does this Documentary remind me of the spooky stories that always pop up around Halloween/Samhain which is another reason why I love that time of year.

Thanks for remembering Samhain.
Who is Sam Hain?
@@Garbeaux. Samhain is the precursor of Halloween Samhain, Sauin or Oíche Shamhna is a Gaelic festival on 1 November marking the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter or "darker half" of the year. It is also the Irish language name for November. Celebrations begin on the evening of 31 October, since the Celtic day began and ended at sunset.
In 2010 I was standing quietly in front of the crystal monument on the site of Anne's beheading . A voice text me me clearly said 'I am innocent, I did not do these things'. I was standing alone at the time. I feel honored that Anne let me hear her voice. I'm not a stranger to clairvoyance and clairaudience, so i wasn't afraid at all
Liars are common.
This is the first I've heard of her being kept at Hampton Court Palace after she was arrested. I was always under the impression she was taken directly to the Tower of London.
I think she was definitely at the tower. Master Kingston's recollection of her states her being held in the tower and nothing states Hampton Court. If I'm wrong I'll hold my hands up but I'm 99.9% confident that she was in the tower prior to her execution.
I agree it was the tower , I’m sure .
Yes it was the tower
I also thought Mary Boleyn did not marry William Carey until after Henry and Anne themselves had already married?
All historical documentation clearly states she was arrested and taken to the Tower via Traitor's Gate. She was housed in the same rooms that she was housed in for her coronation.
I feel so terrible for her, she was a victim. I hope one day her soul can rest.
a victim? she knew what she was getting and could care less about his wife.

There's an interesting story in a National Trust ghost book i have. Blickling Hall was closed for to visitors but some guys arrived delivering some painting to put on display and a lady in period costume signed for the painting being delivered and then she vanished. Apparently the painting was of her daughter Elizabeth I.
Gezzzz. These woman, so smart, so amazing, born in such a horrible time for woman. The lies that took AB down along with KH, any so many other lies in between; caused both of their demises at the hand of the executioner. I have no idea how these men slept at night with all the blood they had on their hands. AB, did leave a gift, most amazing gift, Elizabeth! In a way, that was the middle finger in the end to the Tudor blood line. No children and no marriage. Just a strong and amazing woman, who brought peace and power back to England.
But killed ( ordered the execution of) her own cousin Mary Queen of Scots
except Kathrine Howard was an adulteress.
@@greenhealer7136she was also very young and used by her family. I've always felt compassion for her.

I don’t care if she was sleeping with every man in court on a rotation schedule; adultery is NOT a valid reason to execute someone.
@@nuthinmuffins5073 i did not say it was..I just mentioned that she, unlike Anne, did commit adultery...and no it is not a reason for execution...however, being the wife of a king, regardless of wanting to be or not, best not get caught sleeping with someone else ...because, as we all know in those times, men's egos were(in their own deluded minds) needing to be pampered and they believed they had a righteous reason to remove your wife in any way they see fit. Men were free to do as they will with whomever they see fit, but not wives of kings especially...she being in the royal court would have know full well the consequences of her actions...its a pity she did not take more care...it is sadly what happened in those times .... that being said, no need to assume i had no idea of what is considered heinous!
The guard that fainted was probably the bravest man to ever live for charging a headless ghost.
Because ghosts can choose not to be seen or noticed by anyone and anything. It's up to them if they want to appear visible.
I personally think she has a sense of humour, the tale I heard of her arriving in a coach driven by a headless driver and carrying her own head, must surely be to poke fun at herself and the public. And I’m pretty sure she knows how popular she is today.
😂
Hopefully her daughter becoming the most famous queen is something she laughs at holding that head all he wanted was a son & his daughters were the most infamous even Mary
I don't doubt the eye witness accounts but why have cameras not been installed to capture potential sightings if the ghost is said to appear at regular intervals?
That's what I don't understand. One would think a camera or two at the Tower would catch one of these wandering ghosts. I'm sure they have cameras all over to catch intruders.
You forget they have CCTV cameras everywhere - but none captures her ghost.
I think it's wonderful how Anne's hauntings take into account the 11 day change in the calendar from Julian to Gregorian
I believe that someone(s) enjoy ghosting as Anne & keeping her witty story alive, as is done with many worldwide for monetary gain.
Interesting historical account! It's fascinating how tales of the past linger in the present, shaping our perceptions of places like Blickling Hall and Hampton Court Palace. As for Anne Boleyn's ghost, I wonder if she's still searching for her lost head or if she's finally found some peace. Ghosts and history sure make for a chilling combination! 😄

Henry was a complete Psychopath!
The thing is, he wasn't. As a young man he did very good things, like art, write music & the 1st peace treaty. But then there was a jousting accident. After that he was never the same. Very likely frontal lobe damage and constant pain & infection in his body turned him from visionary to tyrant, who had hallucinations, depression, and blamed everyone else when he didn't get his way or things he did went wrong.

What a terribly sad life rest in eternal peace Ann Boleyn reunited with your daughter the late Elizabeth the 1 😢
She was kept in the coronation apartments in the Tower of London before her execution, not Hampton Court. In fact, she was never kept at Hampton Court.
Perhaps Henry recieved a bit of the bad karma he earned as he was never buried in the grand tomb he designed and wished his children to build. He still lies in the very small niche in Saint George's chapel, Windsor where he was first placed near his Queen, Jane Seymour.
Is that all the bad karma that wicked cow received?
That actually happened a lot with Kings and Queens. They rarely get the splendid and expensive burial they intend. The next lot want to spend the money on themselves 😅 so they get left where they are.

Elizabeth I is my all time favorite English monarch. I can’t stand that horrible evil father.
I find it strange that a such a talented man, who started out as a fair-minded and genial Prince, became such a vicious tyrant in his later years. The Tudors were absolute monarchs (as opposed to the Stuarts who came after them & were obliged to rule with the consent of parliament). Henry VIII was all-powerful, and apparently those who lived at court were terrified of offending him.
The Stuarts tried to be absolute monarchs, far more than the Tudors@@susanwillson6672
People say after so many years the spirit presence will fade. The reason these spirits don't fade and cross over is because their memory is still alive and people go there from all over and awaken their presence. Otherwise I mean if ghosts were real. Their presence would linger out after their memory is no more. Personally I watched this for the history but I can imagine how spooky these places must seem after such time has passed.
Are they alive in memory or just imagination?
@@valkyriesardo278 Good question. Yes I think they are alive in imagination since we never knew them we only imagine what they were like. I guess you have a point.
What everyone keeps forgetting is that divorce was not a thing before Henry’s divorce. When she initially rebuffed him she’d have no way of knowing divorce was even possible or that she would ever become queen. I think she turned him down not out of ambition but honestly didn’t want to be a mistress and have extramarital sex.
Poor AB was a most tragic victim of a very cruel king
Why couldn't,t he have just divorced her and let her live someplace unharmed without killing her or anybody else and had actually let her see her daughter sometimes? Oh yes, compassion and simple human kindness was simply not his style, was it? All those acts of evil and homicidal cruelty helped end the Tudor name and male line.
Because of it Elizabeth had such a phobia about marriage and procreation that it was only through his elder sister Margaret and the Stuarts that continued the royal line of England
@@FrankTropea-u6q She knew too much. She was someone his enemies would use as a rallying point.
She was never kept at court (Hampton) She was imprisoned in the Queens apartments in The Tower of London. The very same apartments She stayed at, the night before her coronation. She had 4 ladies in waiting with her too! One is recorded as "Lady Boleyn" which Lady this refers to is still disputed today, whether it was Ann's Aunt (Anne Tempest) or her Sister inlaw (Elizabeth Boleyn *was* Wood)
Either way, they were all imprisoned at the Tower of London.
Lady Boleyn could've been Jane Boleyn, as well. (George's wife)
@Hilz28 ofc yes! Probably was! How she wangled her way out of all that, to then be invited back to court for Anne of Cleaves and Catherine Howard, and her involvement in the latter which in turn, caught red-handed and lost her head too!
Poor women, trying to survive during those times! Xx
Catherine of Aragon was a perfect wife to Henry, but was brutally discarded by her disloyal, philandering husband. They don't call men whores, more the pity, because that's exactly what he was. Their daughter Mary suffered so much heartache and abuse at the whims of her betraying father, being separated from her mother, stripped from her title, and knowing how her mother suffered at the hands of her self absorbed father. Being a stifling Patriarchy, naturally, all blame for their respective fates fell upon Anne, who dared to have ambition. Subservience and unfailing dedication for her husband only brought Catherine humiliation, sickness and isolation. Anne, in turn, must have suffered horribly through her miscarriages; neither woman was responsible for the loss of Mary and Elizabeth's potential siblings, but blamed they were for not "providing" the great gluton with his precious male heir. As if they wouldn't have moved heaven and earth to bear a son. Henry and his misogynistic partners in crime tried to obliterate Anne's memory and make Catherine disappear into a nunnery. I understand that Henry suffered exponentially as he grew older, with his rotound body and reeking leg ulcer. That makes me glad. I hope he rotted from the inside out right up to the time he gasped his shoddy last breath. Cheers.

@@MarixpozaYou have to put it in context of the social norms at the Tudor court. The King was expected to keep mistresses. Ambitous wealthy aristocratic families actively pimped their daughters to be Royal Mistresses or wives. Women were pawns to make advantageous marriages with other high status families . The Boleyns tried to tempt Henry with Anne's sister Mary first, but the King lost interest quickly. Being a Kings Mistress gave the family power, status, gifts of homes & land & once he was done, the mistress got a good high status marriage to an aristocrat that the King arranged & pre approved .

I have often stood on the walls of the Tower of London looking down at the Traitor's Gate and thought about all those people, innocent and guilty, who had passed through the gate after their last journey on the river Thames. May their souls rest in peace.
❤❤❤
Im from the Philippines I really enjoy watching about Tudor history
Anne didn't miscarry on the same day Katherine died. Katherine died on 7 Jan 1536. Henry had his jousting accident on 24 Jan 1536, and then Anne miscarried on the 29th. So many inaccuracies in this show.
I'm honestly surprised Henry didn't have some underling poison Katherine, and then have that unfortunate fellow killed. He could spend some time "mourning" and then marry Anne legitimately.
Yeah there are so many mistakes and of well known facts.
She miscarried on the day Katherine was buried didn’t she?
He was never in love, that was infatuation.
Which is love
I totally agree with u
Infatuated with the person he thought would give him an heir. His desperation was getting an heir
Thank you. I wanted to go but instead my mother took me to church that night and insisted I was blessed by the priest!
let her rest😭😭😭😭 but I’m still very intrigued nevertheless
She will rest forever if we pray for the eternal rest of her soul and thus she will pass from purgatory to heaven
@@ileanaacacostaacosta1813so difficult to think that anyone actually believes this. How would you possibly know that she is still there after all these years? If she is still in purgatory is she given leave for good behavior to be able to continue to haunt these places ?
@@marydbaker In purgatory all souls go to pay for sins and transgressions they committed their lifetime she was cruel to Mary and Katherine who never harmed her she was a homewrecker and helped to destroy the old church and made an marry her while still married to his first wife and all this things keep her tied in earth for 500 years so we must to make requiem masses for Anne s soul until one day she will stop hunting places and go to rest in heaven forever you will see 500?years is more than enough it's time to rest in heaven forever
If you believe this Catholic doctrine, fine - but don't inflict it on the rest of us, who prefer to have open minds. And don't rubbish what other people believe.
This is actually when I was in London in 2017. I did not expect these feelings and sensations that there were many souls (ghosts)on the streets and underground in the metro. It was a very strange feeling, a feeling that people had been killed especially women killed for unknown reasons., and I felt ghosts when I went on the streets.
I do love ❤️ the way that they danced during the Renaissance, and I do certainly wish that I could copy these dances, but since I am not a very good person/dancer,and I have 4flat feet, I do not believe that i could fit in the dance 😢
You’re a bad person?
@8:57 I find it hilarious seeing the pictures of ALL of Henry’s wives illuminated by electricity right behind Henry and Anne.
Oh thank God I am not the only one who noticed!! And the electric chandelier, too. I found quite a lot of unintentionally hilarious stuff in this...
Henry's love was only enduring until he had no use for the woman. His behavior was just gross.
Yeah Henry's behavior is just too gross wayyyy too gross. He did not fit to be tye king of England if he continue his actions like fore example that just having a male heir. If his consort didn't had a male heir he just divorce or execute his consort then replace another consort. He has. Abad bad behavior I disliked him
Such fascinating and rich history.
Our soil is drenched in blood and injustice.
Men with power, influence and wealth still draw in almost any woman they want so not much has changed either throughout history.
Thank you for this love the history, ghosts stories too
An honorable ,loyal Queen ....rewarded with a daughtor who ruled an empire.....
Anne wears her French hood incorrectly- it should sit up, not back… almost horizontally as shown here. Have a look at the paintings of the period
The hood was worn in different ways. For a formal occasion it was worn high, like a crown. For an informal occasion it was more lax and worn lower. Still, I don't feel like she would have worn it at all while in confinement or awaiting her death.
@@stephaniemabee2830 You're probably right about the variations. It looked weird to me. I agree she wouldn't have worn anything so fancy while awaiting death etc… but don't you think that she would have had her hair covered with a simple coif? It's a bit of a bug bear that they never seem to get the head coverings right… or to understand that hair was covered throughout history, unless you were a prostitute or very very poor.
@@stephaniemabee2830I learn something new everyday. Thank you!
@@annieodowd6066prostitute, very very poor or a little girl.
@@annieodowd6066or a Queen. Queen’s had the right to wear their hair loose.
A few weeks ago I stayed on the grounds of Hever Castle. I was able to walk around after it was closed. There is a period looking hotel on the grounds. Sadly, no ghost. No ghost at Hampton Court or the Tower or anywhere else. Henry tried to erase her and here we all are watching, talking and arguing about her all these years later. I find all of his wives fascinating. I imagine all of them after Anne must have slept with one eye open. It’s one thing to worry about being cast aside, quite another to worry about losing your head.
Anne of Cleaves didn't have to worry about losing her head too much. King Henry had to be nice to her if he didn't want to provoke a war with her powerful relatives.
At 9:50, "(The King) sends her the bodies of dead deer he has hunted for her." I remember once telling my girlfriend, "If I had two dead rats, I'd give you one." I understand entirely!
True. He must think she’s a cat. Only cats leave dead animals they kill for their owners. 😂
It's too funny, isn't it? I didn't know this.@@tamiwatchesstuff
😂😂😂
Kliban cat fan?
Absolutely! However, my best beloved and I DO speak this promise to each other from time to time...@@sheridowsett9929
21:06 oh what a wonderful and well written documentary- IS THAT BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH
Why I do i feel like going there and saying: "OMG ANNE BOLEYN HII BESTIEEE"
lol
Oh!
We all know this story! I thought the video was about her ghost.
It was like Anne was Rh negative. Elizabeth her first child would have been born without issue whether Elizabeth was Rh neg or positive. All other pregnancies would have been doomed to stillborn or miscarriage. Sex of the baby is due to the father, but Rh is a factor of the mother.
I’m Rh negative too .. we are not of this world
@@ishtarbabylon4869 Me too, always been different.
@@ishtarbabylon4869 Does that mean so was Anne ? Interesting...
I think Henry was negative. Red head. Katherine of Aragon had loads of miscarriages.

What a frightening, barbaric time in history
I’d haunt too if I were Anne. She was unjustly killed
Scot60, u are spot on, Monsieur 😮
@scot60, I think you mean murdered.
@@lindaswan6606 correct!
@@ronaldmessina4229 well it’s madame but that’s ok
Honestly there has been so many executions there, it’s no telling whose spirit they may have really seen. It could be someone else besides Ann
True. Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard were not King Henry's only victims. They number in the thousands. Some ghosts don't remember how they died, who they were, or even know they're actually dead.
good doc, always love a history on the tudors.👍
just out of curiosity, at 21:06 is that Benedict Cumberbatch dancing?
Certainly looked like him! Well spotted.
Am I the only one who noticed Benedict Cumberbatch from 21:05 onwards?
Yes you probably are sire
I thought so too. ❤
Was that not him though ???
Whoever dressed "Anne" needs to choose a headdress location and stick with it because it was all over the place!
Exactly!!! It wasn’t even remotely placed accurately.
Here’s Hoping she Haunted Henry!
One story I heard (whether it’s true is another thing), is that Anne’s ghost was spotted arguing with Henry’s ghost
Reports said she did haunt henry on the last days of his life. Henry reported that she saw her ghost on all fours once, looking for her head and screaming "henry my love where is my head?"
He is in hell
Anne was held in the Tower of London during her trial and awaiting her execution. She was kept in the same chambers that she occupied during the days before her coronation. If you're going to tell a history, GET IT RIGHT!
I read that the incident of 1864, the guard stated that the female form he challenged was whole. Not head less. The officer who witnessed it from a window above also stated that the figure was whole. They still think it was Ann Boleyn, but she was not headless. I would like to see and read the transcripts of that Court martial.
I'm wondering if that story was made up to save the guard.
Another nice professional video on Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII. Why can’t we get ONE of these about John of Gaunt and Katherine Swynford? Everybody in royal Europe is and was descended from one or both of them. But no, more on Anne…
I, wholeheartedly, agree. And, we're lucky to get even that. I, too, need more then Anne.
Poor Anne Boleyn she never deserved the way she was treated, very interesting any more stories or the Tudors?? Would like to watch them. 👍👍
Oh, this is spooky fun!
lol...

The other Queen I like is:Mary Queen of Scots.I have a book on her that was published in;1969.I bought this book 📕 in my summer home 🏡 of Park Rapids,Minnesota.Anne Boleyn didn’t have a good life!If I were her,i wouldn’t of married him!
What choice do you think you would have had. Your family would have pushed you like the female pawn you were. You might have escaped to a convent, you might have killed yourself, maybe you could have taken a lover quickly at court and lost your reputation, your families respect, your own good name. You would have had no way to make money, you could have disappeared into obscurity perhaps as a seamstress, but you were likely never alone. In short there wasn’t much option for a woman then. If you didn’t flatter and fawn Henry you likely would lose your head be tortured or taken prisoner for life. I descend from many of the names bandied about in Henry 7ths and 8ths court, and I’m astonished that my ancestors survived at all.
Okay,then one at court should’ve been a maid?But,you know,this was the modern equivalent of divorce like today,but,with no beheading.This would be wrong 😑 in todays society,because,it would be murder to kill you’re wife!I think,I’ve said enough,here?Because,I know,that I’m not descended from a 👑 crown!
Men’s’ eyes do stray’,even when you’re dating them!Because,I had a boyfriend like this in the 1980”s.He was a jerk named;John Webster,and he only cared for himself,and no other!The last time I saw him was;at a church ⛪️ social,a church ⛪️ camp 🏕️ in the fall of 1980.I knew to reconcile with him was;‘beyond repair’,and I had,had no interest in him,after this.I’m glad 😀 that I had written to him,saying;”we’re threw!’After many year’s,I have married,never had any children,became a widow,then returned to my mom”s bussiness,after I was widowed.I have remained single ever since,and have been happy 😃 since then.Maybe,this is why I’m interested in this history?It make’s life interesting!Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
A very chilling tale. 😰😰😰 RIP Anne Boleyn.
It is said that when Murders die, they are immediately confronted by their victims.
Would have loved to see that meeting between Anne and her Murderer before he faced God's judges 😂
In an afterlife where both Catherine and Anne condemn him for eternity, and Jane is nowhere to be found to save his soul.
Thanks for sharing this history
Ive such a dim view of Henry8. Poor king and terrible man. Lord knows what kind of father he was.
Both Henry and Anne were cruel to his daughter Mary. Quite sad.
When I was little my father used to sing old songs to me including Anne's about how she walked the bloody tower with her head tucked underneath her arm at the midnight hour.
Blickling Hall is in Aylsham, Norfolk and not Norwich. It is run by the National Trust
Spirits are naturally all around us, they can come and go as they wish for their own reasons unless they are stuck here. Anne’s spirit chose and knew her destiny when it chose to incarnate in human form to learn lessons from it and to play a part in destiny as without Anne and her time as queen our country would be a very different place religiously, she played a massive part in what we are today for good or bad depending on our views.
How about Henry's ghost?
Henry is in hell. That’s why there’s no ghost of him making trouble for the living.
And you know this how?@@chrisperrins8082
No one cares about him because he is a mean person.
Stephanie, henry’s ghost would NOT fit in the castle, because henry was a very FAT king of england 😢🎉
Chrissper, I do believe that u are more than correct, because henry the 8 was a very horrible man/murderer, who murdered his many wives, by chopping off their heads 😢🎉
Excellent I couldn't stop watching
The Royal astrologers were correct. ANNE DID GIVE BIRTH TO A ROYAL PRINCE.
HER name was ELIZABETH!😂
They probably meant she’d have a boy, which didn’t happen (though she did conceive a boy but miscarried)
What…?
Anne was pregnant BEFORE she and Henry married. That is why Henry's knickers were in a twist when he didn't get an annulment.
How horrific to have been a woman.. Pretty much throughout history in one place or another or everywhere at once. Just cattle. Nothing but a thing to take from until there was nothing left to take.
Just like in some places today
Many have their beliefs in regard to Anne, but there are no hard proven reasons she was executed. There is no hard evidence of adultery, and she may have been able to produce a male heir in time… time was probably more her enemy, he tired of her, as he likely would have any Queen.
She was a victim of very bad timing.
It wasn’t just about a male heir, although of course that played a part.
He could dominate Jane Seymour & she was younger than Anne … so he decides to rid himself of her. So sad, but the cards they played at court then. Sadly the risk any of them took
One of Henry love 💕 letters to Anne is at The Vatican
All Henry's letters to Anne have been stored in Vatican Archives since they were stolen from Hampton Court around 1529 or 1530. It has been suggested that Wolsey was responsible, and passed them to Cardinal Campeggio who was on his way back to Rome.
I expect she would be a very kind ghost, respecting you and going away if you wished.
You play with fire 🔥 and you get burnt. That’s exactly what happened to her.
What happened to her was a moral-less man with unchallenged power and an anger untempered by empathy.
I it's not true on Ann part it's just king Henry tired of her he uses his power to do and accused Ann of having an affair in fact Ann caught king Henrys infidelity that cause of her miscarriage..
She saw what happened to her sister and didn't want that to be her fate. Also, he was the KING. It's not as if she could really say no, especially when you factor in her father and uncle Norfolk who only saw their her as a pawn. Given how public a life she led, there was no way for her to carry on an affair with anyone even had she wanted to. Anne's issue with Cromwell stemmed from their differing views on how to use the wealth of the catholic churches Henry dissolved. Anne was still concerned over the fates of the poor who relied on monasteries, while Cromwell was more about funding universities (and lining his own pockets).
These violent delights have violent ends
The victim blaming is strong with you.
If Blickling Hall's indeed haunted by Anne Boleyn, then there must be lots of instances of ghosts walking through walls, because the building that's there now is 17th Century, that was built on the ruins of the original Boleyn hall. In other words, it's an area haunting, rather than haunting the building itself.
It was said that when Henry VIII was approaching, that a whif of him could be detected from 3 rooms away! Phewww! Those leg ulcers of his must have really "stanketh" or "stunketh", or just smelled "badlyeth".... Or something like that, he raised a lot of noses he smelled so bad. Pheweth!
