Henry VIII dances with Anne Boleyn

[LucyLovettLestrange]

It's that damn Y chromosome that screwed Anne Boleyn and Catherine of Aragon over, but I couldn't see England with out Elizabeth I. Elizabeth obviously is what makes Anne Boleyn such and ironic figure in English history. Who agrees with me on that?

[Fliegeraas]

 - EDIT: Yesssss... i've founded, in MP3 qualitiy. So good !!!!!

[Pierrelestafier]

Whats this film named?

[katierose333]

@Pierrelestafier its called Anne of a Thousand Days. Its pretty good I found it on netflix

[OttoKrinklebottom]

If ever you happen to be in England or better still in London I urge you to go to Heaver Castle. I went there about 5 years ago and its absolutly beautiful. One of the most breathtaking idilic homes i have ever seen. It not a huge Castle like some in England but it is by far the most breathtaking. The surrounding Kent countryside is also out of this world. Its about 2 hours South of London.

[LucyLovettLestrange]

@OttoKrinklebottom I hear that you can still see the remains of Anne Boleyn's bed. I saw a picture of the bed frame.

[PixPoxy]

this dande made my day

[GCmediacourse]

thank you very much for up loading clips from anne of a thousand days. Ive been looking for this film for years

[schoolgurl95]

How dare you call Katherine a spanish cow, Henry!!!!!!!!!

[TudorRose85]

Catherine should have slapped that son of a bitch when he said that.

[princessivoryrose]

Katherine of Aragon was a pale redhead just like Henry VIII. Look at paintings of her and you will see.

[telamon2011]

@barbiedoll811

Perhaps, but of all the women who have portrayed Anne Boleyn (Dorothy Tutin, Charlotte Rampling, Merle Oberon, Natalie Dormer, Helena Bonham Carter, Vanessa Redgrave), Genevieve Bujold comes the closest in looks, demeanor and temperament. Bonham Carter is a close second. The other women were too fair skinned, and had blue or green eyes as opposed to Anne's very black eyes.

[ripples28]

wow and here for the first time I see an actor who can actually fit henry as depicted in history

[TheNuharoo]

Back then, the dancing looks like it was a lot of fun. 

[yourpersonalbandaid]

henry is a total butt, he ruined Anne Boleyn's life

she could have married Henry Percy, but the royal basterd had to go and have a girl who despised him to himself

[ligreekguy]

Poor sainted Catherine of Aragon.

[PapagenoHannover]

I like the music in the video. Henry loved the recorders....

Great dancing

[emilyyxxxxx]

what is the music :)

[Headlesslouis]

Whats the music called?

[princesaelizabeth4]

4:00 quien es la de verde???

[PalermoMuerte]

DAY XDF7DUYKX CJAOK SOY GAYYY

[renesmee23cullen]

"what ever you command"

" how about i command you to give me a son." lol what a total bastard

[nitewanderer]

0:55 what a total bastard

[mik3nc]

Definitely the best movie adaption. I remember watching this movie in middle school years ago, and since there are literally dozens of different movie versions, I couldn't think of which one it was. I think this movie is a perfect pick for history teachers.

[JuanMacready]

@mik3nc Hardly, it's a boring inaccurate piece of crap.

[emilyyxxxxx]

is there a soundtrack for this? i like the first song they dance too. :)

[orlandobabe]

I wouldn't marry Henry VIII even if he looked like Burton or Myer from the Tudors.

[JuanMacready]

Thank Christ this fucking awful movie flopped. Burton was terrible.

[ooks]

oh my gosh irene papas!!!

[ligreekguy]

@ooks

Great actress!

[DuttyGyal718]

Spanish Cow? Jeez. God save ALL of the Tudor Queens.

[ligreekguy]

@DuttyGyal718

One of the many inaccuracies in this movie is that Henry never used such a derogatory name to describe Catherine, as he still had far too much respect for her. He did describe Anne of Cleves as the "Flanders mare", and it is this utterance upon which the "Spanish cow" comment was probably based.

[lilly032]

Who plays king henry in this?

[EmpressElizabeth1920]

@lilly032 Richard Burton

[ligreekguy]

Irene Papas, a beautiful and elegant Greek woman portraying a heroic Spanish woman, Catherine of Aragon: long live the Mediterraneans!

[jrmetmoi]

@ligreekguy Yes Irene was pretty in this.

[molarmama5]

@jrmetmoi

The irony is Katherine of Aragon was a redhead and fair. The real Anne Boleyn had Irene Pappas' colourings,

with her hair so long it was remarked that she could sit upon it.

[chiaxroscuro]

thanks for posting! i've always really enjoyed tudor period entertainment, and anne of a thousand days is my favorite.

"would to god i could, henry"

...too bad it's the male that decides the gender :/

[saga2828]

good film :)

[Crimelord2k10]

What a fat asshole, short retard, he invaded Ireland!!!

[KayakMan003]

ahhhhh...the politics of court....not much has changed in 500 years, has it?

[ChoiFungWa]

She was drunk~

[JuanMacready]

Burton was fucking awful as Henry VIII.

[MrBaddel77]

ilove to see the beautiful irene papas as katherine of aragon in this movie

[Fliegeraas]

Nice! And very beautiful music!

[Vydio]

This movie has some historical errors, if I'm not mistaken. I don't think Henry was interested in Anne when Wolsey broke them up.

[arwenanarion]

@Vydio He wanted to break anne not, but the end of their relationship to percy and this is historical correct. that is the reason why she wanted to Wolsey's end.

[newlifetolove]

what the name of this movie??

[jennybx24x]

what is this clip taken from?

[romuloVG]

Magnificent awarded "Anne of the Thousand Days" (1969)

[celebration81]

Medieval England was a little country with little inland revenues. Medieval Hungary was stronger country with larger populaTION territory and inland revenues.

[Vauthier]

gosh, the dancing looks fun... the people actually look as though they enjoy it. today, it seems the only purpose of dancing is to make the opposite sex horny. I wish such class still exsisted. These people could teach the whores and morons of hip hop a thing or two.

[MichaelJackson4eva9]

@Vauthier I totally agree! Those dances look so much fun. I also love the dresses. Ya, I wish people were still classy.

[PapagenoHannover]

@Vauthier You are RIGHT

[nitanewsreader]

@Vauthier The days of chivalry! it exists no more. In those days women were much more subtle, as men expected them to be

[JuzTudor70AD]

Richard Burton sure makes a mean Henry VIII

[speculate1]

I like the banter between Henry and his subjects as he makes his way towards Anne...amazing what a king can get away with!!!

[hell0hkitty]

g. bugold gives me a royal pain! lol

[YoukonJill]

percy was heir to the dukedom of Northumberland i thought...

[Lionstar16]

You mentioned in your notes littlemisssunnydale that Eric Ives and David Starkey are conflicted about whether Henry was involved in Anne's broken betrothal to Henry Percy. Who do you personally think is right?

[leoseries]

Some bad editing here. Who was Richard Burton's dance "double?" Michael Flatley?

[jpandyaraja]

oh Henry ! you were an incurable sodomist !!

[schoolgurl95]

can someone tell me what katherine said after henry told her, " suppose I command you to give me a son."

[InnateNobility]

"Would to God I could, Henry."

[schoolgurl95]

thnx so much. I watched the movie many times, but never could hear that line.

[xsexyminxyx]

im confused. 2 films of henry 8th say that henry percy and anne were openly betrothed and it was the king who broke it of. other films say it was a secret betrothal and when the cardinal found out he seperated them - during this time the king was with mary boleyn (anne in his eyes didn't even exsist) so... which story is true?!

[katylovejohn]

I love this film i saw it when i was a little girl and the dresses just captivated me. It got me into Tudor History and i love it. Henry Percy would never have been allowed to marry Anne anyway to unconected i would assume, Henry percy was from a large great family where as the boleyn family wwere just making it from what i can remember from dr starkeys book. The howard family basically made it. clever anne but as in all tempest relationships its passion and when that goes theres nothing.

[don1schon]

wats the neame of this movie

[mrw650]

don1schon: Anne of a Thousand Days

[AnaliaHyrule]

I wish Henry would have let Anne and Percy get married.

[YeOldeTune]

Yes, but it could not be possible because at that time Henry and Wolsey were busy working for the marriage between Anne and Butler.

[69Bluntsmoka420]

Weed historians believe Henry VIII was the first English monarch to recreationally smoke marijuana, which had to be imported from the recently discovered new world.

[AnaliaHyrule]

you're joking.

[Albukhshi]

1-Marijuana is native to India IIRC, and was already known to the crusaders via me people (Arabs): a heretical order of muslims known as the hashasheen were called that because they smoked the stuff before assassinating people/ jumping off a cliff as per their leader's orders ( they are where we get the word assassin from).

2-are you joking?!

[69Bluntsmoka420]

No I am not joking. Some historians suspect that King Henry was under the influence of marijuana when he made the decision to take control of the Church of England.

[Albukhshi]

interesting. you have any recommendations for a good read?

[AnaliaHyrule]

what are your souces?

and who wastes their life studying weed?

[69Bluntsmoka420]

Henriensus Rex: The Hidden History of Henry VIII by James Joynt.

The Isles by Norman Davies

Recreational Drug Use in Early Modern Europe by D.J. Tiesto.

And what an astonishlingly narrow-minded view you take of Cannibisology, AnaliaHyrule. As marijuana use becomes increasingly socially acceptable, the study of its history, use and applications becomes more important. Cannibisologists have proposed releasing cannabis smoke into the atmosphere tocounteract the pollutants there by emisions

[abrondarbit]

Is there anything you guys dont want to do with weed?

[abrondarbit]

And what then? Did he never come down after that?

[cherries1878]

I love katherines dress

[katharinethequene]

yeah i do too, itreminds me a bit of the one she wears in the poirtrait of her at 16 by Michael Sittow

[fowlerbookcritic]

Hey, Miss Sunnydale, I have watched several of your videos here lately and have especially enjoyed reading the commentary you have put in your information boxes. I am "new" to the Tudor history and have come across these references to Anne's old betrothal to Percy. Since historians are at odds on exactly *how* the engagement dissolved, I would love to hear what you think may or may not have happened there...IF you don't mind, of course. =)

[tudorcito]

mi escena favorita de el film

[Serenityluver]

I agree. Best portrayal of Anne.

[Djmikoxoxo]

hey does anybody know what movie is this from!!!!??????

[afmont1017]

Ann of A Thousand Days!!! THE best movie about

Ann Boleyn

[Serenityluver]

I think that Henry's line to Catherine at the beginning was a little out of character...Henry was a gentlemen to women's faces at least. I don't think he would have said that to Catherine THAT early on in his wish for a divorce. Perhaps later on when he already had Anne...but whatever. Still love the movie.

[bookkeeper57]

Agreed: it's in here so you know the situation. Henry was desperate for a healthy heir.

[h2310]

Brilliant - i saw this film several times about 30 years ago. thanks for the posting, must see if i can the dvd.

[seattlerob7]

thr plantagenets were the rightfull rulers not the tudors ,henry hunted the family down to ensure his dynasty ,even an old plantagenet lady with altheimers who wondered around the scaffold prior to her death and it took two blows from the axe before the old lady died absolute monarchs suck!

[queenme222]

she and natile dormer played them anne boyeln the best

[iamsmoochums]

Henry was so evil the Catherine in that scene!

[MurderMostFoul]

Was it true that Henry ended the bethrothal between Anne and Henry Percy?

If thats the case, Hes alot worse than I thought.

[Miyuuko]

'i suppose i commanded you to give me a son!"

what an asshole! I REALLY HATE HENRY VIII!

[bookkeeper57]

His words were: "suppose I command you to give me a son". Yes: he could be an absolute jerk. He was the reason for all the miscarriages and stillborn babies: syphilis,

which killed Jane Seymour's son Edward VI at the age of 14.

[salvadorsalvona]

she had 6 fingers on one hand and was thought to be a witch! and he was a vile murderer.

[katesatriani]

It wasn't an actual "whole" finger but just the little stub of one near the pinky finger and she designed a particular style of sleeve that draped down over the outside of the hand and these came to be known as "the Boleyn sleeves". She also had a little wen (a mole) on her neck and she wore a black velvet band to cover it - this style was adopted by many as it was considered fashionable as was much that Anne did in the earliest days.

[littlemisssunnydale]

There is no evidence for a sixth finger or even a small deformity on her hand. The idea that any deformity existed, including the idea that she had distinct moles on her person, was first written many years after her death by someone who did not know her (and also did not like her and was therefore writing to blacken her name). Anne also did not introduce the fashion of long sleeves as they had existed in Europe many decades prior to her birth.

[katesatriani]

Found your reply to my comment on Anne's "deformities" when cleaning out my email-think we got off on the wrong foot.! I wasn't saying than Anne had a sixth finger BUT should've clarified it as "it was reported that she did: along with the mole! I did check my books on Tudors & couldn't find any evidence! Prob read it in Plaidy & it stuck ! With the sleeves I meant more that she was fashionable! I'm an Anne Boleyn supporter so hope that we can get on better as I like yr comments/uploads!!

[writerchick10]

@littlemisssunnydale

Thanks for the info!! As always you're knowledge on all things Tudors is much appreciated.

[gingerdots]

@littlemisssunnydale Correct! And I believe she played the lute as well, something I doubt she would have persued it if there had indeed been an extra digit involved.

[theivorydahlia]

Recently, an autopsy was done on remains thought to be Anne Boleyn's (DNA fingerprinting confirmed this) and there was absolutely NO evidence of a deformity/sixth finger. This rumour is thought to have been started by the Spanish.

[ChiudiLaPorta]

Thank you so much for posting this! In Italy tv is transmitting "The Tudors" with Jonathan Rhys Meyers, but for my taste it is too "explicit" and dark, these old films are so full of restrained real erotism!

[LadyPerseverance]

To littlemisssunnydale--

Thank you for posting all of these aewsome clips. I have enjoyed them all :)

[FlashGORDONXVFFR]

was she really betrothed to Harry Percy??

[bookkeeper57]

yes: Henry broke it up to chase her without obstacles.

[TatraFord]

oops...should read Banchetto Musicale 1617

[TatraFord]

Although Anne of the Thousand Days does have some of the sweetest period-type music, the soundtrack is actually all new music (1969) composed by one of the greatest 20th century film composers, Georges Delerue. He had a knack for incorporating modal style into scores written for films with a contemporary setting as well. Google his name for his official website. If you like this soundtrack give a listen to Johann Herman Schein's Banchetto Musical 1611, especially the Jordi Savall interpretation.

[TatraFord]

The musical soundtrack to the film is available only on vinyl and was released by Decca DL 79174. The brief soundtrack covers only side A. Side B has some selections of Tudor court music by the excellent, but almost forgotten group, New York Pro Musica and does include, for romuloVG's enjoyment, real pieces by Holborne. Good luck trying to find this rare LP though!

[romuloVG]

This has always been one of my favourite music scenes from this movie. It is excellent to hear original music in these productions (however, only a few productions even today include original music). This galliard is one of Anthony Holborne's

[Amadrieclya]

i'd like to play and dance in that kind of dances in 21th century! XD everyone would think we're all crazy! XD ahaha nice video anyway! XD

[lilanma]

I LOVE THIS SCENE!!! To be fair, the video seems a bit distorted so the music and voices are bit faster and higher but I don't really care--I like it either way.

It is also unlikely that Henry broke up Anne's engagement with Harry Percy because he wanted her as it would have been about 3 years too early for this--but that's not as good drama.

I've mastered both these dances...although I think traditional galliards are slower..

[littlemisssunnydale]

Ok; I accidently deleted someone's comment when I was actually trying to reply to them. Sorry!

[AndromedaMariaCarmen]

please post the whole thing!

[littlemisssunnydale]

Really? The early stuff usually excels over the new stuff in terms of acting and often in aspects like music and costumes. The BBC series 'The Six Wives of Henry VIII' and 'Elizabeth R' are superb and both were made in the 1970s.

[YeOldeTune]

I agree

[XxCrazygal2007xX]

i agree also, the older stuffs better

[queenme222]

okay i think the fliming is weird the coloring u know nvm

[XxCrazygal2007xX]

i think its jus mainly down to the technology of the cameras to be honest

[GhostDragon10]

These movies are always more well acted, the costumes are better, and the story is more compelling. Why, do you ask?

Since moviemakers in the 60's didn't have all this CG crap to carry their movie. This is my favorite movie because the acting is magnificent and so is everything else.

This throws your taste into question, QueenMe.

[justlooking213]

Both The Other Boleyn Girl movies were awful & The Tudors is little more than a guilty pleasure the older movies are better A new movie about Mary Queen of Scots is coming out soon with Scarlet Johansen in the lead & I dont think she can out do Vanessa Redgrave Kate Blanchett & Anne-Marie Duff were good as Elizabeth but Glenda Jackson was better

[lilanma]

The Tudors so silly...they're all like 16 and walking around half-naked :-D

Glenda Jackson is the best, and what I think is remarkable is that what she lacks in her resemblance to Elizabeth, she makes up for in resemblance to Henry VIII--so it's even.

[romuloVG]

@queenme222 The galliard is not wrong. It's Morley's

[YeOldeTune]

What a wonderful music.

[Elisabetta611]

Not bad, not bad at all. Keith Michell still owns this role though. Always.

[YeOldeTune]

I agree. Keith Michell is the best Henry

[Kitty273]

Spanish cow?

My word,he was a nasty sot!

But I think RB nailed the asshole quality that King Henry had!

[Ladyjaxs]

Its a great movie, I recommned  to anyone to watch it. I paid a steeper price for my copy, but it was worth it!!

[Inesminina]

This movie looks so interesting!:o

I want to watch it!

Thanks for this video!

[littlemisssunnydale]

It's worth buying. I bought mine for a very low price on ebay.

[Inesminina]

Thanks for your information!:)

[desertdragonme]

this was a great clip

[ABoleynFan1505]

The cotumes of this film are some if the best i've seen.

[GhostDragon10]

It gives me chills when Henry says the "Madame" at the and of what he says to Katherine.

It's just so poisonous.

[SpanishDescendent]

I prefer Burton for the acting, Keith Mitchell for appearance.

[persephonethemad]

Oh Richard Burton, to think you go to this to the awful Exorcist II: The Heritic.

Burton is very good, but I still prefer Keith Michell.
