Brilliant information but my goodness it was was tough listening to them talking over one another! It actually made me feel uncomfortable. The idea that Anne’s downfall was partly due to how she’d seen things done in France doesn’t hold water. She had many years at court in England learning under the very best example of supreme queenship possible in Katherine of Aragon to learn the ropes
“Anne of 1000 days“ I saw when I was probably 10 years old as a kid growing up in California, and I became obsessed with Anne B and the tudors, and followed that up with “the six wives of Henry the eighth“ and I was stung with the bee. Genevieve Bujold was exceptional playing an English woman with a very thick French accent. Lol but she’s gorgeous and it was heartbreaking at the end (even though it isn’t true) that the camera pans to a little Elizabeth, probably three years and with flaming red hair in a beautiful dress, all alone, toddling away after observing her mothers beheading, Annes Legacy to the world.
Their research is exceptional. It really paints a fuller picture of Queen Anne and the various interactions within the royal social milieu. I always thought that perhaps a big part of Anne’s allure to Henry and other men was what she had learned in the sophisticated court of queenClaude, and how she was very Interpersonally as well as politically savvy. However, that culture was different, and I think some of her flirtatious missteps meant to be purely humorous, were offensive to Henry, just darkening his mood about her. She certainly was humbled, ultimately.
Thomas More thought they wanted a state or country church like in the East Byzantinium. I also think Henry did almost everything and told Cromwell to make it happen.
This is really quite interesting, especially considering the research by James Taffe. But to me it seems the youth of Anne Boleyn is pretty well researched, albeit retold in a fictional way. But then again, it's history from so long ago and no, perhaps we'll never know the truth. However, listening further, Julia is constantly talked over by her husband "we found, we saw". Well, let HER speak. But really, in the end, these conclusions are rather contrary to others...
I think Anne thought she was destined by God to have the Tudor prince. Henry was convinced. Having that miscarriage and the death of queen Catherine was the end.

State of the art, and in a class of their own. Brilliant historians.
