JANE BOLEYN, LADY ROCHFORD in FILM AND TELEVISION - PART 1 - WOLF HALL 

did nor notice that ... thanks !

She certainly did! I just read the other day that she's not returning for the conclusion of Wolf Hall (The Mirror & the Light). I like the actress replacing her, but I'm still very disappointed that it won't be Jessica. It's not that she was the "perfect Jane Rochford"-but she was DEFINITELY the perfect Hilary Mantel version of her!

yes, same for me , watched it several times already, and will watch it again for sure ! even better than "the Tudors" I think !

Lady Rochford hated hated hated Anne and her brother. Identity? Her identity was a date with revenge. What are you even talking about?

Actually, contemporary sources don’t support the notion that Jane hated Anne or her Husband. There is nothing from the time that suggests George and Jane had an unhappy marriage other than the fact they never had children which could have been down to a number of reasons. When George was in the tower, Jane visited him and wrote him a letter I believe which sadly has not survived. There is also evidence her and Anne and Mary Boleyn were good friends. It is unlikely Jane was the mystery source of one of the damning pieces of evidence given against Anne - likely another lady in waiting although we cannot confirm their identity. The only two things we have to even nod towards any hostility between Jane and Anne/George is she openly supported Princess Mary towards 1536 during a women’s protest or something along those lines, and Jane being banished from court after spreading lies about one of Henry’s mistresses - likely under Anne’s orders. Whether jane took this badly or not we will never know. But I personally don’t feel she’s ever been portrayed properly in recent times

@@BB-eg2nb feel whatever you want. Mantel’s portrayal of Lady Rochford makes sense. And wasn’t George known for his “gallantry “? Anyway, she went mad and they beheaded her for helping pimp out Queen The fifth/Howard.

@@jimsteele9559 again, we will never really understand her reasoning for getting involved with Katheryn Howard’s affair. Sadly, George Boleyn’s bad reputation stems from a piece written by George Cavendish who called George Boleyn a whoremongerer who raped women. George Cavendish was Thomas Wolsey’s secretary- so hardly surprising he had no love for Boleyn. Chapuys, oddly enough, provides a positive review of George Boleyn. But this was before he realised George was related too Anne. We will never know these people so of course they may well be as they are portrayed in modern times.

@@jimsteele9559that is based on modern writers. Dig deeper and look at some of the interactions that took place between Anne and Jane. Anne trusted Jane with the secret that Henry wasn’t performing in the bedroom. Do you think she would do that if Jane and Anne shared a hatred

True. The only thing I have read that she said was that she was told either by her husband or Anne that Henry didn’t know to satisfy a woman or something like that.

Help mate is not a word that comes to mind when I think of Lady Rochford, although she sure helped Catherine Howard ;)

I doubt they were besties. I also do not the she purposefully destroyed the Boleyns.

Help mate is the technical term for a wife. Best description would be fellow conspirators

Mark Gatiss was awful.

@@a.t.c.3862 Awfully good! Perfect for the part as Gardiner. But if you don’t think so, you’re in luck. He’s out I hear.

She was beheaded for conspiring with Katherine Howard to cuckold the King. It has nothing to do with Anne Boleyn or her brother. But to be sure she did help bring down 2 Queens
