Today, I have some fascinating facts to share about the Boleyn family, a family close to my heart. These tidbits might surprise you and give you a deeper insight into their intriguing history.
Did you know that Anne Boleyn’s father inherited a unique family heirloom? Or that her mother was praised by a famous poet? There are also some mysteries about Mary Boleyn's later years. Anne herself might have met a legendary figure during her time in France, and her brother George was celebrated for his talents. Jane Boleyn played a significant role in the lives of others, and Elizabeth I honoured her mother in some special ways.
If these facts have piqued your interest, I’m excited to announce an 8-day online event in November dedicated to the Boleyn family! I’ll be diving into:
Thomas and Elizabeth Boleyn
Anne Boleyn's rise and fall
Mary Boleyn's legacy
George Boleyn's life and work
Jane Boleyn's controversial story
Elizabeth I, the Boleyn Queen
The enduring legacy of the Boleyns

Wow, the things Anne experienced! Thanks Claire, love coming home from work to your videos! The Boleyns were such a fascinating family

Thanks Claire. The Boleyns were certainly well connected.

Leonardo DaVinci painted himself in several portraits. Leonardo was good looking, he had golden, curly hair and hazel eyes. He could sing and dance, play instruments. He was gifted in every way. Anne Boleyn would have noticed and remembered him.

It makes sense that she would have been in his vicinity.

@anneboleynfiles 19 дней назад

Yes, I'm sure she would have.

I may be wrong but by the time he was in France, I believe he was already old age? I may be wrong.

Thank you Claire ❤ Always good to hear little known or less spoken of facts on Anne and the Boleyn family 😁 Also helps that some of these facts give some insight and dispel some misconceptions on members of the Boleyn and extended family 🌹

Some fascinating Boleyn facts! Particularly enjoyed the Leonardo DaVinci/Anne Boleyn fact! I had no idea 🤩 Thanks Claire

@51_cent 20 дней назад

Claire, the idea that Anne Boleyn crossed paths with Leonardo da Vinci has my wheels spinning. That is truly intriguing. Thanks, as always, for your insights on the Tudors!

@leticiagarcia9025 19 дней назад

@@Shane-Flanagan Indeed. That was amazing. Hope you are doing well. Here in America we are fearing Trump may win the election. It meant a lot that our allies think highly of President Biden. I know Biden will be eighty. He’s not the same when he was vice president. There’s no need for the media and the democrats in Washington to turn against him. The democrats have no backbone. Whereas Trump is saying he wants to be a dictator on day one and the republicans are standing strong behind him. The media is not reporting that with he will become a dictator. The Supreme Court made him king. He can do whatever he wants without accountability. The Supreme Court made gave him immunity. Sorry for dumping this on you. I just wanted to put it out there that I’m not like him, his allies and his supporters.

Thank you Claire, I'm a very long distant relation to the family. I appreciate all these little tib bits of history.❤

@alancumming6407 20 дней назад

The possibility of a Da Vinci connection is interesting. Anne lived in such a dynamic period in western history, I often wonder if she found the English Court dull, especially after her time in France. Many thanks Claire for this enjoyable broadcast.

@anneboleynfiles 19 дней назад

Yes, she was in France at such a time of change.

Wonderful facts, about the Boleyns! You have whetted my interest in them, especially Anne. Last year, I went to Hever Castle to see where Anne spent her childhood. This year, I’ll visit Blickling Hall.

@anneboleynfiles 19 дней назад

Enjoy Blickling!

So interesting. 8 love how you give the details that move them out of seemingly fictional to actual humans who once walked the earth. Also, you'd be an awesome neighbour 😊 the way you present these in such an approachable, chatting over coffee or a glass of wine is awesome. ❤

@lisaa.4667 11 дней назад

What if Anne had become Anne da Vinci? Then there would have been no Queen Elizabeth I, and the state of Virginia would be called something different! George Boleyn would have become a celebrity poet, and maybe Jane, Anne, and Mary would have started a new fashion line and boutique in Paris..."La Boleyn", or something.

I do like to imagine Henry VIII watching over his children once he'd passed and being devastated that the most successful/long reigning children was the daughter of his first beheaded wife 😂 that he lied about so badly 😂
