The Marriage And Fate Of Anne Boleyn | Lovers Who Changed History | Real Royalty 

Ann had the last laugh given that she gave birth to one of the greatest monarchs in english history

I love how in Movies and Reenactments they always show Henry as a thin good looking man, then you see his actual portraits and he looks like the fat uncle at the family Reunion no one likes.

He WAS indeed obsessed with me

Imagine having your love letters and personal diaries published and analyzed by millions of people for the rest of time.

Her daughter Queen Elizabeth I accomplished everything Anne could not. She would have been so proud of the amazing matriarch her daughter had become. A successful, strong Queen for 40 years, and beholden to no man. Anne’s strength, intelligence and cleverness were clearly displayed in Elizabeth’s personality and character.

“tried to elope but the pope said nope”

Henry knew Ann never betrayed him, he just wanted to be rid of her.

Obsession is correct. Because that's all it was. A temporary obsession. Henry never loved her. When he finally married her, he quickly tired of her

‘What hurts more than a broken heart?’ ‘A severed head.’

A documentary that finally shows that Anne Boleyn was more than just some schemer or fool but rather a very complex individual and an intelligent woman during a time where it was still dangerous to be just that (gladly her daughter left a huge impression on the world two decades later)

Anne may have given a child that Henry didn't want, but she (Elizabeth) was the child he needed. She ushered England into its Golden Age and making it one of the most powerful nations in 16th century Europe.

No one who truly loves someone feels okay with murdering them. Henry didn't love her, and to push that narrative is a dangerous sentiment. Henry Lusted for Anne. Plain and simple. He was willing to wait because she was beautiful, and the fact that she was literally "hard to get" probably only served to make the prospect more exiting.

This is why Elizabeth wanted no man. She wanted to make her mother proud❤️

Was he good at sports or did people not want to risk death if they beat him?

How could you say “its the sweetest” when he is a married man writing to other woman? it was extra marital affair not some romantic story. A story of an obsessed man who destroyed lives of many women.

They way they used to talk back in the days is so mesmerizing

There wasn’t any “Love” in this relationship, there was infatuation. If he loved her then he wouldn’t have her beheaded.

'Kind and Gentle' he was cruel and ruthless he executed his 17 year old wife ffs

Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn were the only two to have seen henry in his fit and handsome phase, where he wasn't crazy and was actually pretty nice .

They say Anne Boleyn was NOT beautiful at all. In fact i read somewhere she was quite plain BUT it was her sharp wit and intelligence that gave her her charm and ultimately made her win Henry's affection from her much more beautiful sister.

Could you imagine how Kathrine felt, I feel so bad for her and how she was not able to make a son and was made fun of for it. 😭😞

I do believe that king Henry had STDs And passed it on to his wife and "lovers" that's why his wife and "lovers" couldn't qive healthy babies

To everyone asking why Henry is seen as young and handsome when his portrait shows him as a medieval Big Mac connoisseur: he was once robust and good looking, before his jousting accident that screwed him up forever and put an end to his athleticism. That, combined with age and gluttony meant that he became mondo sized

What Anne wrote in her book reminds me of what Diana said about herself. Very prophetic in an ambitious way.

I don't know why they say Henry was handsome as a young man. I've seen the paintings of him and he was not at all handsome.

Why all these films make Henry look good like we all know he looked like Humpty Dumpty it ain’t a secret.

If Catherine had given Henry a healthy son we never would have even heard about Anne Boleyn.

Anne won in the end for it was HER daughter that reigned England as the most notable of all Queens

So many coments from no lees than 2 weeks ago. Quarentine anyone?

Henry had a serious head injury from a jousting accident. Head injuries can radically change personality.

Imagine if this happened when Facebook existed. The King sliding in Anne’s DMs and historians reading all of their private conversations 😫😫😫

05:37 that gave me so many chills. For me it's so hard to remember that all these people that we see in paintings and hear stories from were real, they had they're thoughts and desires, likes and dislikes, dreams, they had a childhood and grew up. They were as much human as me, the only difference is time, it's so fucking crazy to think about that. Time is just such a crazy consept

King Henry's daughter made a WAY better ruler than he could ever hope to be.

Henry was obsessed with every female and married them and had syphilis, it's really no compliment to be lusted for by him. He's no prize.

English teachers be like : "I, Anne Boleyn" so poetic

*"my heart and body will be yours forever"* S C A M ! He declared Jane Seymour as the only woman he loved and even had his body buried beside her.

How misogynist times were back then. I'm so glad to be alive during a more equitable time. Not completely, but much better by comparison.

5:55 “it seems so prophetic and powerful” Anne’s ghost is probably sitting there like “nah dawg it’s the only thing I know in French”

She is a true historian. so touched by Anne's handwriting in that book.

When she said "we all know how this tragedy plays out, but how well do we know its leading characters?" i got reminded of "You think you know a story, but you only know how it ends. to get to the heart of the story, you have to go back to the beginning 🤩😭😂

Did royalty really need to be undressed by their servants while getting ready for sex? Uncomfortable

60% of comments "Why is she touching the book without gloves?" 35% "Why didn't they make Henry ugly?" 5% "I'm here cause of Six"

"Happiness is the one thing we queens can't have." ~Reign

i love how she teared up when she held anne’s book

She wore the English gable hood to her death along with royal ermine to make a political statement as the true English queen.

ofcourse a bunch of people said good things about Henry, he was the king. His actions show his real character.

Back then peoples love letters were so romantic- like they were really trying- now I’m lucky if I get an “ily” In a text message-

I can’t believe that they don’t wear gloves when they touch these priceless books

Stop making excuses for Henry VIII. He was a psychopath. Erasmus knew Henry when he was a child, not an adult. Unbelievable

"I sent you a buck that I killed with my own hands. Hope it reminds u of the Hunter." How creepy was that line?? I would be terrified damn!!

We ain’t gonna talk about the King Henry actor.... he smokin hot 😌

I am a history buff and I'm in awe of this historian's work ..beautifully put together documentary!! Bravo! More! Please!

Pretty sure she joined forces with Henry’s other ex-wives and formed a girl group or something

I was always that kid in class that would love it when the supply teacher would throw one of these on. Although I loved history lessons anyway I found these far for engaging. Now age 20 without a history lesson in 4 years I still love learning & watching these!

Great program. Love the relics most of us will never get to see. And to think the longest reigning monarchs in England have been Elizabeth I, Victoria and ER II. Well done, ladies!

Please continue to post these documentaries and don't ever disappear from the internet, please. Love you all!😘🥰

I have great doubts that Henry was actually attractive. Who would dare call a king ugly anyway?

Nobody: Henry: HaVE a dEaD DeeR CUs I loVe YoU so MuCh.

The person who wrote the letter with the seals had a great handwriting. Beautifully done

This was my first Dr. Libscomb documentary and it was love at first sight. Her passion for Henry and Anne is infectious!

The dude killed her tho so it’s not that romantic

Anyone watch “The Other Boleyn Girl” with Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson?

It´s so sad when you realize that such a passion he felt for her, such love, then became grudge and made him justify... to kill the very woman he swore to love... so tragic.

Bit shocked to see them handle delicate artifacts without gloves on. Human skin and sweat can leave corrosion on delicate parchments. And they were wearing rings too...

I hate when they say no one has ever divorced a Queen before. Eleanor of Aquitaine. Queen of France who divorced King Louis VII to marry King Henry II of England and was Queen of England.

Yes, she's that Boleyn girl. She broke England from the church, she's that sexy.

yeah, every narcissist is obsessed with their partners right up until they decide to murder them. much romance so wow

I truly appreciate these series, thank you. Lovely narrator

ok but like the sound of the pages 😩😩 i’m weak that was a whole asmr

Thumbnail looks like Anne be a bad girl licking a knife and then i remembered that they only ate with knives back then

This is sooo good! I am enjoying every minute of it. ❤🙏🏽

his excuse to divorce catherine of aragon was nonesense. he literally had an affair with his wife´s sister.

Actress Natalie Dormer who portrayed Anne Boleyn in the Tudor is best suited of this role.

My all time Favorite Queen, Anne Boleyn. It is very heartbreaking to watch different movies, docus and tv series about her without the beheading scene because that was her destiny- however, I feel proud for my Queen as she gave birth to one of the greatest monarch of English history. Henry doesn't need a male heir, he only needed Anne and Elizabeth but he believed on rumors & false information. Anyway, what was written in the history can't be undone but I'm glad we knew now what's true and just. ❤️

In hindsight, I think it would have been better for Anne to die of sweating sickness than being made a mockery of, accused and then being executed. I feel really sorry for her. She did not deserve to die. Rest In Peace Queen 👑👸

Such a pleasure to watch! Well done!

"he was very gentle" boylen and howard are very triggered

There once was a gluttenous King named Henry, who lived in a Castle in the land of Eng, who was a collector of many things..... especially heads.

Props to Anne Boleyn for giving England one of the greatest monarchs of all time

I swear if one word could be used to describe Catherine and Anne's situation it would be irony. Because Anne thought she was so much better than Catherine when in truth they were a lot alike. Both were previously involved with another man before marrying Henry (Catherine married his brother first while Anne was briefly engaged/or having an affair with Henry Percy), both were pushed to marry him by their fathers (Although Catherine's father did it more out of love and thought for his daughter's well being while Anne's was just a power hungry social climber) both suffered miscarriages and only delivered one healthy child which was born a daughter, and both were in the end discarded by their husband Henry albeit they were discarded in different ways. The only really big difference between these two women in regards to their history with King Henry was how they went about rejection and infidelity. Catherine no doubt was hurt by her husband's adulterous nature but she was smart enough to realize that in the time period she lived in, a woman should never scold or berate her husband especially if he was high in rank. She also did not make a big scene about it because she was a queen and a queen is always dignified, respectful, graceful. She serves her people and does not allow them to see if she is angry or hurt because as a monarch she is a symbol of strength and wisdom to her people which in turn earned their respect and devotion. Probably why Henry didn't cut off her head because she was so adored and respected by his people. This behavior applied even when Henry divorced her. Yes she voiced her contempt and hurt but she did so in a dignified manner. And even though her husband spurned her cruelly and unjustily, she would forever be loved and seen as a true queen even after death. Anne on the other hand was more arrogant and prideful. She thought that she should have been seen as Henry's equal which unfortunately was a dangerous way of thinking back then. She wasn't really discreet about how she felt about Henry's philandering ways and didn't take it in a dignified way which probably made her come off as spoiled and whiny to her people. This was especially unwise considering that England pretty much hated her. She probably didn't understand her position as well as Catherine did because unlike her, Anne was not royal by birth therefore she was not trained and schooled in the ways of being a proper queen. In fact I think the only thing her family schooled her on was the benefits of being queen and not the burdens. So she lost her head but left behind a daughter who would prove to succeed where she failed.

The actor playing Henry has the most beautiful colored eyes

I think he's the one who plot her false accusations. Since she can't give him a son

Thank you. Always enjoy history and the Tudors. Really enjoyed this.

okay... imagine writing on a diary and then keeping it away for anyone to see for only hundreds of years later someone reason it... idk why i did that but that sounds kinda scary tbh

When Anne became queen and replaced Catherine of Aragon Henry started making Mary bow down to her stepmother but she didn’t since she disliked Anne for treating her poorly and when Elizabeth was born she made Mary her maid she didn’t like her for replacing her mother and discarding her when Anne got to be beheaded Mary was very happy and felt like she deserved it

This Henry has me feeling some type of way

This is my favorite of all of their videos!!

I honestly think Anne was his favorite cause if Jane never given born to a son he would had gone bored of her way faster than Anne

No mention of Harry Percy, and Anne's wish to marry him frustrated by Henry via Wolsey!

A scoop for earwax? Used? My, that IS romantic. Lol.

This just reminds us yet once again how wonderful and magnificent Princess Diana was.

I enjoyed watching this thank you Dr Suzannah Lipscomb out standing , i love watching historical programmes

That Bible verse was pretty damn specific. Like damn, who hurt you?

I did not know much of this .but I Realy adore this documentary of great love !

This is a really good video.Keep up the good work!

I'm here in America and I cannot get enough of this wonderful historical channel!

The Henry VIII actor looks like Prince Harry XD

Dr. Lipscomb is the actual Goldie Locks! Sitting in Anne Boleyn’ saber! Touching Anne Boleyn’s book! I am green(sleeves) with envy! 💚

Apart from Katherine’s treatment due to the affair, I can’t forget reading records that said Anne mistreated Mary when she came back to living in the castle because she was Katherine’s daughter. But women back in the day did not always support each other. Anne’s death was a tragedy, but I dislike how some people nowadays glorify her. That said is also uncomfortable how people talk on Anne sometimes. “I feel worse for…” it doesn’t matter. Anne did not deserve to die. And to be honest, rather than cheating, to me the worst claims of what she did was how she allegedly treated Mary. And yet she still did not deserve to die. All in all to me Katherine Howard is the saddest story, if only because she was so young and all her records point to the fact that she was assaulted by many men in her life.

Certain untreated STDs and STIs can cause insanity. Henry was probably also an ass but that may have worsened it to actual madness.
