Anne Boleyn Part Six - Betrayal

[Naomi203]

really good videos you have made. well done on a brilliant piece of work!

[cranky1chick]

Very engrossing and well edited videos. I'm a fan of English history, particularly the Tudor years and am great enjoying your work. Well done!

[naomilaboo]

Well Cromwell got was coming to him then.

I often wonder what would have happened if Anne did gave birth to a son...Would she have remained queen and therefore Henry VIII and his 2 wives since everything depended on the birth of a male heir. Surely Anne greatest legay is through her daughter Elizabeth I....but it makes you wonder what d happened and therefor would it have changed the course of history

If she had a son,I suspect that King Henry still would have found a way to rid himself of her. Now if the son was born FIRST,when their relationship was still strong,she'd have been untouchable. But towards the latter part of their relationship,it would have been over. Too many hated her,Cromwell was down on her,and King Henry favored a Spanish alliance. Plus,their personalities clashed so violently. Anne Boleyn was also serious political liability.

I love all the video's here about Anne Boleyn, but I see in this doc a few scenes from movies that I know but some that I do not know , can someone tell me wich moviescenes they used here?

[MrBoasu]

@cestlavietrav bbc series, henry iii and his six wives

[bidarsho1972]

what a family ...its continuing to this day....

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

I just posted on the other video to all the Anne haters saying that I hated her-I wonder if they'll stop thumbing me down now.

Hey does anyone know whether Henry would have believed the charges against Anne? Also, when precisely did Henry reconcile himself with executing Anne? The vid goes really fast, Cromwell investigates her without the King's knowledge...then Henry cancels Norris' trip to Calle, presumably already decided that he will move against Norris. The letter he recieved on May Day...did that have to do with his decision...?

[brownscot1070]

Keep in mind that Henry was extremely superstitious, case in point, he thought that his marroage to Queen Katherine as cursed because she never gave birth to a "live" son as was the case with Anne Boleyn. Furthetmore, Cromwell was already aligned with Jane Seymour and he had ti give Henry a reason to despise Anne because it was his head or hers.

thanks for replying :)

[ultradumbass]

there are a lot of people who say that henry may have had mercury poisoning placed in his drink for many years that slowly made him insane. which is why the terror only actually became visible in the second half of his reign.

[psyche100]

Actually given on how he reacted to Catherine Howard's very real betrayal vs her staged one, he probably didn't believe much of it

[lookinglass123]

What are you replying to? I don't know what I said...

[namesnotimportant2u]

He did know Cromwell was investigating her. He wanted to marry Jane Seymour, but could not have another divorce so they had to find another way. Rather cruelly Henry on hearing the sound of the cannon to announce Anne had been beheaded, got on his horse and went to the Seymour residence. And the following day announce his intentions to marry her. They were married if I remember correctly only a week or a week and a half later.

[LadySarahMichelle]

I think at first he would haave known they were false but as cromwell gathered more evidence ( with Henrys permission) In my opinion he convinced himself that she was guilty.. But take in to condsideration that wether or not what he thought, he just wanted rid of her.

[clickgal]

I've studied all of this. Henry conspired to bring down Anne in order to marry Jane and to have male heir. Marriage to Anne also meant a break with Rome and by 1536 Henry wanted to reconcile with the Emperor, a Catholic. No Henry did ok Cromwells proceedings aganist Anne. In public Henry would have never have said so. I don't understand your last question, if you'd explain it, I'd be happy to answer it.

[lookinglass123]

@clickgal I've studied it to, now!! I hadn't when I asked the question. It was so long ago, I think I meant 'What has the letter he received on may day got to do with anything?' or something like that. thank you for taking the time to answer.

[clickgal]

If you have any more questions let me know. I have lots of books on the subject so I can help out.

[lookinglass123]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, I haven't seen this all yet but I am so delighted to hear that you take up the view that it was not solely Anne's miscarriage that doomed her and that Cromwell and his own ideas, Spanish Alliance yadda yadda was a major reason...everyone always thumbs me down when I say that :(

[DarkLadyAthena1]

Thanks for uploading this. Anne of a thousan days as the tudors beheadings of anne and thomas more is still difficult to watch because it is a very tragic story where romeo betrays his loved juliet. And I was in tears in anne of a thousand days when she is put to trial, out of all wives I have more in common with her since I am really ambitious and willing to fight for something even going beyond others, that scene and when anne is to dies she showed she was every ounce of a Queen!

[Lionstar16]

Thomas Cromwell got his comeuppances in the end, he was beheaded for arranging the disastrous Anne of Cleves marriage in 1540

[squirrly001]

Bravo Owen - great to see you have continued the saga. Very well done, as usual!

[TheBullen1]

Aw thanks my love, glad u enjoyed :)

[littlemisssunnydale]

Amazing! I just logged on and I am thrilled to see all these new vids! Love it!

BTW Ive just purchased Elizabeth Nortons biography of Anne (it has yet to arrive but I suspect it is popular history rather than a serious piece of work that is going to propose anything new!).

I am looking forward to G.W. Bernards work (although it is bound to annoy me!)

[TheBullen1]

Aw thanks my love. I too have purchased Nortons biog... it seems to have some very mixed reviews... and eveyone suggests Ives over her, so will be interesting to see.. im guessing it will be rather Denny. Im really looking forward to Bernards work too.. I can feel my blood boiling as I type! Glad you liked my ducks x

[viiixxxen]

I really enjoy watching your videos - they are very well done and bring information that I really enjoy knowing.

Congratulations for the amazing work!

[TheBullen1]

Aw cheers very much, really nice to hear
