  • I Love history like if you agree

  • I actually think this song is disrespectful to Queen Anne Boleyn. However it is cute and catchy!!!!!!

  • She is my 11th great aunt. Mary is my 11th great grandmother.

  • @koddaver1 Mary's daughter Catherine Carey had a son, Thomas West who came to Virginia in the United States in 1618. He is my 9th great grandfather on my mother's side of the family. My mother is from America and that side of her family had been there since the first colony in Virginia when West came to America.

  • @RichardMontalban .. ummm Catherine had a daughter called Anne who married a man named Thomas West. But he died around 1602.

  • @Racheli74 Thomas West was the 3rd Baron De La War and died in 1618 on his second journey to the American colony. Some believe he died en route, others say he died in Virginia and is buried in Jamestown. He is Mary Boleyn's grandson. He is my ancestor, direct through my mother's family. You're thinking of Thomas West, the 2nd Baron De La War who was the son of William West and Elizabeth Strange.

  • @Racheli74 I'm sorry... actually, Thomas West was Mary's great grandson, not, grandson. The Thomas West you are talking about is his father, Anne's husband, who was Catherine's daughter. So Catherine's daughter was Anne and Anne's son was Thomas West, my 8th or 9th great grandfather.... Catherine's grandson, not son. That was my mistake.

  • Catherine refused to eat anything that wasn't cooked in her rooms by either one of her attendants or herself. Henry broke with Rome, but it was his son Edward and Archbishop Cranmer who established the first book of Common Prayer and shaped the Anglican religion. By then there was a generation that had never been Catholic at all. Queen Mary burned more people for heresy during her short reign than the Spanish Inquisition did. It could take up to 8 hours for a heretic to die in damp England.

  • the ravens never ate her head because it was buried with her. she had been crowned a Queen so her head wasn't put on a spike to rot. the type of divorce where a Queen who was to old for children went to an abbey to live was usually granted. Catherine wouldn't go to keep him from marrying Anne.But the main reason the Pope wouldn't consent was because he was under house arrest by her nephew after Spain sacked Rome and the King of Spain and his army controlled the Pope.

  • She was not a martyr nor a happy woman with this adulterous king. Because of her the king separated from the Universal, Catholic Church. She was a victim of this sinful, cruel king. Many people got killed and the king in order to justify his illicit union established his own church, Anglican church.

    What is the most interesting that majority of British people still believe in Anglican church knowing that it was created by this monstrous king.

  • @franciszek8D You're absolutely right.

  • Comment removed

  • She was the only true wife of King Henry VIII. He could deny up and down and such, but she was truly faithful. Anne Boleyn was a martyr.

  • @serene91 I No Catherine of Aragon was his only true wife. He wed Anne while still married to her. Even if she had slept with Aurthur (Which I dough) the Pope granting a dispensation. Which makes the marriage legal, no matter how you look at it. Anne's married to Henry was only ambition, either form her self or her family, or a little of both. Though I'm sure she loved him in some way.

  • @Varney86 While Henry separated from Rome, it was his son Edward who took a greater part in developing the Anglican prayerbook and laws with Archbishop Crammer He had gone along with Henry on the split and married him to Anne. He is considered a martyr, one of those burned by Queen Mary.If Henry had gotten the divorce he wanted, the Anglican Church might not exist. If Catherine had retired to an abbey, Henry might not have looted , destroyed, and given away the RC lands.

  • @TheWagbert Sounds nice in theory, but why did not H8 simply slip Catherine of Aragon some poison, and say she died of the sweating sickness? NO! He used the law to feather his own nest, as his advisors had told him. Remember Henry II wanted to tax the church also, but Rome had more bite back then, as it was a more pious age. How could H8, get a Papal dispensation, when he had received one TO MARRY Catherine? The Vatican would be contradicting itself?

  • @Varney86 OMG Henry got his devorice from Catherine by leaveing the catholice church. Anne WAS he true wife. If you ask me Henry got the poor end of the deal with he had to marry Catherine after his brother died. IF they had real law back then Henry could have gotten his marriage to Catherine annuled and Anne would have been his first real and true wife.

  • Remember Anne Boleyn was sent to France where she was being groomed for the Palace. I'm sure she was no dummy when it came to matters of the heart and Lust. She used her brains along with her lustful ways to elevate herself above the Queen of England. It's too bad Lust can never be satisfied... and Henrys eyes soon fell upon Jane ... and many other mistresses... etc.

  • In the 1860s Queen Victorie visited the chapel in the Tower of London and was told that under the floor was a mass grave holding the remains of people beheaded over the centuries. That included Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard. Queen Victoria immediately instructed that their bodies be exhumed and given a proper burial. They were able to identify Anne Boleyns remains as she had six fingers but had no luck with Catherine Howard.

  • @samk1101 it is highly unlikely that Anne Boleyn would have had six fingers, as legends tells, because the King wouldn't have wanted a wife with any kind of deformation. The bodies found were believe to belong to them but they were never proven,

  • adoro Anna Bolena!!!

  • Oh, I think she was completely innocent of the charges the court placed against her. BUT she was still guilty of being a self serving conniving puppet who got what she deserved. Matched against Catherine, who was HIGHLY educated from a distinguished spanish royal lineage this woman was trash--a SCANDAL to even consider her in the same thought as Catherine of Aragon!! But she was OH so purdy so go ahead and make her your idol if you must be so shallow.

  • @gregnicholas26 you got nerve Katherine is no match for Anne Anne was henry's country woman Katherine was not i dont care how grand her birth was she had more right to henry than Katherine besides Henry loved Anne more and i'll bet he came to regret his decision to kill her and you got some nerve calling her trash you're just a jealous hater

  • @donnylovesayesha1 You represent Anne Boleyn very well! Speaking blusterous gibbish!  See what it got her!

  • @gregnicholas26 she was in the wrong place at the wrong time it was her time to go that's all no see what it got that's just plain ridiculous

  • Me va a permitir que discrepe de sus pobres argumentos. Si bien es cierto que en torno a A. Boleyn existen muchas leyendas, también lo es que, junto a su hermana María, habían ejercido una suerte de prostitución de lujo entre la nobleza y realeza de Francia antes de regresar a Inglaterra. Incluso se afirma que su propia madre había sido amante del rey

    ¿Cómo pretende comparar a esta aventurera con la hija de Isabel de Castilla educada para ser reina, amiga de Thomas More, Erasmo o Luis Vives..?

  • @Arranz1000 Eso no es real. Elizabeth Howard nunca fue amante de Enrique, María sí y también lo fue de Francisco. La vida de Ana en Francia estuvo vinculada a la reina Claudia pued fue su dama de honor. Antes Ana había estado a cargo de Margarita de Austria, tía de Carlos V.

    Recomiendo leas el erudito libro de Eric Ives sobre Ana Bolena, es una pena que no tenga edición en castellano. Ana fue la más influyente de todaslas consortes inglesas.

  • @donnylovesayesha1 If you like Anne Boleyn you should read a book by Philippa Gregory called "The Other Boleyn Girl".

  • @Kedorlaomerist It was...okay.  The movie was...not so much. Anne Boleyn in the Tudors is a lot like I always imagined her; strong, fiery & not a simpering airhead like in other portrayals.

  • @Kedorlaomerist "Brief Gaudy Hour" by Margaret Campbell Barnes is a really well written novel of Anne Boleyn

  • @serene91 Thanks for the title of the book about Anne Boleyn. I'll check it out.

  • @donnylovesayesha1 I like Anne AND Katherine. The same way I like & empathize with both Mary & Elizabeth.

  • @booklover444 Whatever sweet heart. Go back and play with your Barbie dolls if u think Mary Tudor and Catherine were cowards.

  • RyanOIRJNN- You must be quite an ignorant person as have no knoweldge of other descriptive words in the dictionary if you must resort to such language. I am quite sure your momma would be so proud of you.

  • this is weird for me cause my name is amberlyn

  • one legitimate son but he had henry fitzroy a bastard son by bessie blount and it was questionable that 2 of marys children were his children but they all died young

  • Oh dear, I mispoke myself. Allow me to remedy it. "My only question is why that wench wasn't thrown in the pauper's grave for her offences to the King and namely to Catherine of Aragon and Mary Tudor!

  • Why only question is why that wench wasn't thrown in the pauper's grave for her offences to the King, and namely to Catherine of Aragon and Mary Stuart.

  • @gregnicholas26 Offenses to the King? Pray elaborate. And Anne Boleyn never did anything to Mary Stuart.

  • Comment removed

  • This song is pretty catchy. Poor Anne, she's with Elizabeth.

  • Hope its true ...

  • You'd all LOVE to meet this cock-sucker of a signer. It's Dean Gitter. A person that wants to rip down an entire mountain to put a resort up because he "claims" this will give people more money. Yet he fires all the local employees to hire imports for a cheaper price.

  • good song, sad story of betrayal. the movie the other boleyn girl, was awful. it was supposed to be about mary not anne.

  • @chicagocuttie25 the other boleyn girl was historically inaccurate though

  • I love this song . When was it sung ?

  • I love Anne Boleyn!

  • I love Anne Boleyn, but theres something about this song that makes me love it xD

  • I put this song on my Halloween playlist :) Couldn't find this version, which I really wanted, but one by Stanley Holloway is almost as good! I think it might be the original, actually. I like this one better, though.

  • "The Other Boleyn Girl" was such a horrible movie.

  • It was SO bad...but the book was better....

  • Yeah, I liked the book despite its inaccuracies; I saw it as dramatic license. However, the movie...blech. Both girls are lovely, but neither can act to save their lives. I found Natalie Portman was a sniveling, weak Anne Boleyn. Pretty movie, though. Give it that.

  • Love the song & especially the audio crackles... v nice

  • great creepy song and great pictures ;)

  • I really the movie ´´The other Boleyn girl´´, actually i was looking for her book,does anyone knows the title?in spanish version, so i can buy that book. thanks a lot.

  • Hi! Please, can anyone (english-speaking) write me the text of this ballad? it could be useful for a performance i'm studyng for... i'm not able to understand all the words, even if my english is not so bad...:)

    thank you!

    kisses

  • OK: that was plain weird.

  • While I always will admire Anne Boleyn, you have to give props to this ballard, wonderfully sarcastic and bawdy..love it

  • I wish Henry hadn't killed Anne.

  • Oh wow. Just wow. I'm not sure if I love it or hate it lol. Okay I guess it's okay to love it-but it's so-macabre.

  • Wow! I had a camp counselor who used to sing this , and scare the HELL out of us.

  • I can´t find the song anywhere! Who is this singer?

  • Wow! , That music is dead creepy

  • creepy song =/ but it's pretty good too :)

  • Ann died innocent........and said nothing against that Blue Beard of a husband for fear that her daughter would pay also for a crime her mother did not commit.......Sadly Ann was married to a man ill of syphilis....need one add more.

  • oh, bikiniracer, did u mean HE was a self ignorant womanizer?lol i get u. ne1 know if hever castle has weird sightings?twould make sense

  • heya guys, im a total tudor boffin, ... anyhow, went to the tower for the 3rd time yesterday, twas wicked, n the beauchamp tower is where theres loads of tudor graffitti, indeed interesting, anyway, being distracted, this is quite an old folk song so is not meant to be accurate, Anne i'm pretty sure was not held at the bloody tower, it gots itsname from the 2 princes who disappeared there before richard the 2nd became king, hey ho, bloody tower goes wiv the ol' folke trad, and anne rocks

  • I think you mean Richard III, it's he who many suspect of killing the princes in the tower. Richard II died in 1400 whereas Edward & Richard (the princes) weren't born until the 1470s. You're right that the 'bloody tower' (nickname of the Garden Tower) however it is now generally accepted that they were murdered in the White Tower, if indeed the bodies were theirs. Anne was imprisoned in the Queen's house, a fact which caused her to break down as this was wher she stayed before her coronation.

  • Ok for one she would be a ghost even though she forgives Henry and the people through her speech.She was young when she died. She didn't get to spend her rightful time with her daughter. she was with an ignorant self centered womanizer who didn't love her. Which would torment ones soul.Plus there has been sightings of her with her head tucked underneath her arm. look under Blickling Hall hauntings. it is there!

  • Its true actually , hampton court london is haunted by all the dead wives. Ive seen her grave and it says in this text book at school that there have been many sighting of Anne Boylen , but no head tucked underneath her arm. She is not at rest , and she never will be.

  • whore is a word used to keep women down. Congratulations on your sexism!

  • Yes, I don't really believe Annes ghost would be haunting anywhere judging from her last speech before her excecution. I think her soul would be at peace in a better place knowing her much loved daughter, Elizabeth, became one of Englands greatest monarchs.

  • If only she knew that.

  • I agree. I thought you didn't like Anne though.

  • I have no love for Anne Boleyn, but I agree that Henry deserves the most blame, and I won't say Anne deserved her ending fate either. Even Catherine Of Aragon told her ladies to pray for Anne when they complained about her.

    The ghost story of Catherine Howard, yes, but I prefer to think of Anne Boleyn as something of a guardian angel to Elizabeth rather then a tormented ghost.

  • There is no love lost for Anne Boleyn in my book, but I agree that she didn't deserve to have the charges that were given her. She usurped Katherine of Aragon's throne for herself and treated poor Mary very badly,so I think that justice was crookedly done and Henry should be roasting right now for it.I also agree that Anne might have tried to redeem herself of what she did in her life by watching over her daughter in death.

  • I don´t think Anne usurped Katherine's throne. Henry gave it to her. It was all Henry's doing. By the way, the original Wolsey plans were to marry the King to a French Princess, probably Princess Renee. Anne took Renee's place.

  • weeell, that's true enough, but she didn't have to accept and egg him on the way she did. Katherine was a good queen and a good mother and she didn't deserve how Henry and Anne both treated her and poor Mary...Anne should have known better...especially Henry! It's no wonder Mary couldn't get past what had happened and took it out on Elizabeth who really had nothing to do with it, Elizabeth being only a baby after all.

  • that doesn't excuse how Mary treated Elizabeth AT ALL!

  • Wow gardens, Elizabeth didn't know if she would be alived the next day or when she would die or live, do gardens make up for this?

    Mary (more or less) played with Elizabeth's life whilst she was on the throne. Elizabeth grew you trust nobody in her life after witnessing her cousins death at the age of eight (Catherine Howard) and realising her own mother had fallen victim to the same fate. Her one true friend in life, Robery of Dudley, was seperated from her when she came into power.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm allowed to have my own opinions. I'm not insulting "the greatest monarch in english history" (which is a matter of opinion btw) if so YOU'RE insulting one of the most misunderstood people in English history. mary was also threatened with death. mary never actually threatened to kill Elizabeth.

  • She did she commonly stated such things as "I can have you gone you know" I am really not going to comment again as it's quite silly to have an argument over youtube! haha!

  • I agree with everything!

  • well actually its a pretty much accepted fact that her speech was so prasing of her husband beacause she and everyone else really thought he would show up at the last minute and pardon her. thats what a lot of people did, they sucked up to the king in their "last words" and then the kings would "forgive" them. but forever reason henry chose to let anne die.

  • Anne knew her fate once she seen the scaffold, she knew Henry wasn't going to save her. I think you have been watching at little bit to much of the Other Boleyn Girl which is quite Historically incorrect.

  • Also he was called "Robert Dudley" not "Robery of Dudley" She ddin't paly with her life, her council again and again told her to exacute Elizabeth, but Mary never would.

  • We're all allowed to have our own opinions you know, I for one agree with katharnethequene.

  • I think TOBG has tarnished Anne's name forever. Good going, PG, I hope you're happy with yourself!

  • Actually, HISTORICALLY, Henry and other kings of his time sent people to the scaffold all the time, then pardoned them last minute. Not just wives, I'm talking generally any courtiers arrested for whatever reason. The kings did this to make a point of not messing with them, but to still look forgiving. This makes it very likely that Anne believed Henry would pardon her after giving her speech. And yes the Other Boleyn Girl is inacurrate but Anne's final words are not.

  • I'm not saying in the back of her mind she didn't wish that, what i'm saying is it is very unlikely that Anne would not confess to the priest before her death just in case it was not a test. Anne was a very religious women (even though some people say she wasn't). She would not of risked eternal punishment in hell by not admitting her sins.

  • i dont think shes a ghost becuz if you read the address she gave to the crowd before she died, it was very heartfelt, as if she was letting go. As she was being executed, she asked Jesus Christ to recieve her soul. I don't think she would be the kind to cling to life when she knew there was something better for her in Heaven. She was very devout, not a person who was spiteful or seeking revenge.

  • poor anne, she was just a tool of her father and uncle

  • bless you?

  • she can't be a ghost cause

    1:ghosts are ghosts cause they have not fulfilled something.but she did everything she wanted to.

    2:she lost henry's love so what would life mean to her?

  • not true 1. She didn't do evrything. She didn;t prove her innocence. And now she comes back to tell off Henry. 2. There were other reasons for her to live other than Henry. Her family for one. Or her loyal subjects for another.

    I believe her ghost haunts the tower.

  • She didn't everything in her power but she would not divorce Henry so her daughter would be a bastard. If she would of it would of saved her life, although she would rather die than see her daughter a bastard. I believe this shows great courage and bravery, without such a decission England may never of seen one of their greatest monarchs.

  • She lost Henry's love but not her daughers. Life would have meant everything to a mother if she could have lived to be with her child-in Anne's case Elizabeth.

  • Does anyone know where to download/get this song, because I can't find it anywhere??

    Thank you for your help.

  • There is a software that downloads songs from Youtube,I don't remember its name but you can search the net for it.

    You also can tape it with CoolEdit Pro.

  • strangely mesmirising

  • God that song is creepy

  • its a creepy song. i dont anything bsd but last night i was trying to fall asleep then some how i thoght of this and a woke up! lol XD

  • weird, but I like it :)

  • Please I need this song,its so beautiful!! but I haven't found it on Ares or Internet. Could someone pass it to me, please?or tell me when can I found it. Thanks!

    Sorry for my english...I'm spanish.

  • search for with her head tucked underneath her arm. that should find something.

  • Its so crazy to think how fate is if Henry had a son(that lived to adulthood) with any of his six wives than england would have been denied a great queen.

  • Creepy much.

  • its not creepy. its a gourgues(SP) song

  • My dad used to sing me this song when I was a little girl. I loved it!

  • my friend told me about now im alittle crepped out

  • HOLY CRAP!!! This thing is scary! I can't believe someone would actually write a song like this! Talk about morbid!!! But still, awesome!

  • Catherine Howard is supposed to also suppose to haunt the tower, Anne's cousin also beheaded by Henry's power.

    She is supposed to be seen running to Henry begging for her life!

  • Look in the fireplace at 2:19.

  • What was this!?!?!?!?!?!?!

  • the thing that remains is every king or queen is now lying very close to each other....nothing lasts forever

  • there's something very errie about this man's voice.

  • This scares me

  • Oh man-this song is tripping me out lol! At first I thought it was kind of love ballad about Anne. Great video btw.

  • Creepy music! Interesting video

  • Do you have the lyrics of the song?

  • I come from Belgium and my teacher History told my, you can see Anne Boleyns ghost by the tower bridge at midnight... And he also said she is walking there with her head under her arm... Is this true??

  • oh yea..

    obviously thats true..

    whatt is wrong with youre history teacher

  • I don't know! I think he's just a bit crazy! :D

  • I don't know about the Tower, but I went to Hever at nighttime around Christmas (when she is said to walk) and I never saw any ghost. Sadly. I DID see several shooting stars, though, so I took comfort in that. ;-)

  • I don't know, but I think Anne Boleyn probably would have moved on by now, considering how Henry passed on just 11 years after her.

  • I bet the success of Anne's daughter, Elizabeth - was all the revenge Anne would have needed. Henry was so obsessed with having a son and the daughter Anne gave him became so beloved a queen - accomplishing more than either of his weakling sons as far as I know.

  • I agree, but there are some Youtubers on here who hate Elizabeth.

  • god i hope your joking who can hate queen elizabeth she was the greatest monarch ever an its no myth its a proven fact, so say all !!!!

  • I don't think it is right to call Henry Fitzroy and Edward VI 'weaklings'. They were just two boys who got sick in an age when medicine was crude or non-existent. It is not their fault they died young. Who knows if there would have been inoculations in those days for whatever carried them off. When you look at it one way it is very sad-they weren't weaklings. They were two terminally ill teenagers who never really go the chance to grow up and that is heartbreaking.

  • @VegasDaisy I agree with you completely but must comment on your use of the word either. Henry VIII had but one son.

  • It's been said that her ghost remains at the London Tower where she was beheaded...

  • i love this song

    its so spooky but totally beautiful

  • When I was a little girl I idolized my grandpa as all good girls should. I lost my grandpa years ago to Alzehiemers. We lost him bodily last year. Grandpa sang this song all the time and even now a good 15 or more years after him losing the ability to sing this, I remember so many of the words. Thank you to whom ever posted this. I called my mom and we shared a good cry over this. You have brought back wonderful memories of a Father and Grandfather.

  • at :25 what is that statue supposed to be. and this is a very morbid video. are those shots the tower?

  • I love this song.

  • This would make a good camp fire song This nutjob computer class went to England and came back convinced she saw Anne Boleyn's Ghost in some Castle The staff there insist she & Katherine Howard still wander the halls at night

  • lol, they should haunt Philippa Gregory!

  • lol!

  • They might have seen them-you never know. I believe I"ve seen a haunt or two-although they are loved ones and not historical figures from the distant past. No one knows for sure if ghosts exist-or not.

  • Just kidding on that last post...I realized that its not a shot of the tower at all...my bad.

  • Hi. Thank you for the comment. The pan shot is from the foot bridge near the Waterloo tube.

  • This is a great video...the shot of the tower panning over to the carousel is so haunting. Where were you standing when you took that? If I'm not mistaken its from the tower tube station?

  • Dose anyone know who sings this song???? It is absolutly haunting!

  • Music: Dean Gitter

    Track: Anne Boleyn

    Album: Ghost Ballads (Riverside, RLP 12-636, 1957)

  • I've never heard this song before, I like it! Great vid!

  • I didn't know this song. Thanks a lot. Anne is my fave Queen.

  • Mine too!
