The Wives of Henry VIII (episode2, part5/5)

[annazt11]

What if she knew her daughter would be Englands regent for such a long time! And successfull too

[r0zesefid]

ppl throughout history have used religion to protect their own desires ... Henry VIII, Al-qaeda, and etc :\

[Kiuesque]

moral of the story: karma's a bitch.

[MsCLavette]

Well Anne wanted Katherine's husband...and she got him...madness and all.

[CuteCatFaith]

Men usually get bored with and throw women and children away.

[nesqualomimocho]

she wasn't consdered attractive in tudor terms - olive skin, brown hair and eyes, not like the other pasty sallow women. Elizabeth I was the product of this amazing strong woman

[princessivoryrose]

She was reburied there by Queen Victoria! She was originally buried in an unmarked grave in an arrow box.

[Iusedtobeacat93]

Anne wasn't send to the tower on charges of Adultery alone. Adultery wasn't a capital crime at that time. She was accused of having lovers and plotting to overthrow the king with those so called lovers. The Adultery, incest and witch craft charges were all used to taunt her reputation and portray her as an utmost immoral character in the eyes of the people so as not allow someone to suspect she was ever innocent.

[fanfave101]

I will never be able to take any other persone besides natial domer as a portrayal of anne bolyne

[ShadowbirdX24]

"Anne is a whore" ~ really,lets see, who chased who.Anne was in love with HENRY PERCY,H8 put a stop to the match because he just wanted to sleep with her,he INTERFIED with her life,anne & percy was a LOVE MATCH it wasnt an arranged marriage. & it took henry 6 YEARS to get anne to sleep wih him.she NEVER cheated on him,they just needed to get rid of her,it was all politcal

& yes Karma did catch up to anne, "what goes around comes around"

[Iusedtobeacat93]

@ShadowbirdX24 Actually there isn't any proof that Henry Percy and Anne were negotiating marriage or that Cardinal Wolsey put a stop to it by the King's orders. For all the evidence there is it probably was nothing more than a flirtation or a passing fancy the English court was notorious for those. Cromwell in his quest for ruining AB questioned Percy and tried to accuse him of Adultery but no proof was given. Anne of the thousand days though fun isn't a very accurate movie.

[hotcat70]

interesting though, that some people still call Anne a whore today.. instead of seeing that she was a proud woman who gambled too high, and lost. That is sad indeed.

In my eyes all of Henry's wives were victims in some way.

[PrincessKarrah]

poor Elizabeth it head to kill her inside knowing her mother was beheaded by her father

[Iusedtobeacat93]

@PrincessKarrah It probably took its toll on her but lets not forget that her mother was beheaded when she was only 3 she hardly had any memories of her mother or father's marriage. She grew up used to the idea that she was an unwanted daughter even her relationship with her father isn't memorable with all his marriages going around and he died when she was only 12-13. Can't lose what you never had I say.

[discosultan]

In the end it wasn't all that bad for Anne Boleyn for she gave birth to one of the greatest queens that England ever had.

Surely if king Henry hadn't died and if he'd known about that he would've felt very proud of his daughter queen Elizabeth.

Too bad he never really lived to see such great moment in English history.

[calihartley2010]

@discosultan It was all his fault. He and his madness is to be blamed.

[tinydusty123]

serves henry right!!!none of the queens deserved to be killed or divorced(except anne boleyn because she was evil and just wanted power)king henry didn't get a son because he wanted one.eventually he got one b ut he still died when he was 15

ppls say henry was buried next to jane seymour because he loved her the most and she gave him the son he wanted.but...koa:divorced so he cudnt be buried next to her.ab:beheaed and done treason against the king.js:died:aoc:outlivedkh:sa­me as ab.:cp outlived:)

[KDVx3]

Served Anne right. In the end, she got exactly what she deserved. :o)

What's up with these royals, anyway? I guess too many generations of inbreeding have to take a toll sooner or later. No wonder they were so frikkin' ugly!! And no wonder Henry was nuts!! And the no heirs thing - well, maybe that's just nature's way of weeding out the weak and undesirable...

Wondering about the lineage of the "Windsors" now - how many kissing cousins have spawned bastards that have married cousins?

[QueenWaterLily]

Dude she was executed on fucking tower green they got it wrong

[TheVideoCat]

this day and age Henry would be tried for molestation, rape, fined for millions and sent to confinement. And treated for clogged arteries.

[PrincessKarrah]

What type of Uncle would feed his niece to the wolfs like that

[vk45de]

She made Henry wait 6 years, divorce his wife, split with the church, and then failed to deliver the goods.

[Natulcien1992]

@vk45de Yes but, a miscarriage (hope I spelled that correct) is not something Anne or Catherine wanted. Though I wonder why they both had many of them. Perhaps the pressure was to big? And to give birth to a son or daughter was not their choice to make. Otherwise, Henry would have had many sons with Catherine d'Aragon. Anne played indeed a risky game and lost, but not on her account.

[calihartley2010]

@Natulcien1992 Maybe Henry's sperm was defective because he had too many sexually transmitted diseases. Herpes and Syphillis viruses can stay dormant in the body for years without showing any symptoms.

[rahya2008]

Male ego..talk about popularity ratings!! Anne got him into this mess and she didn't face up to what she was expected to deliver (a male kiddo, of course!)..so now, she deserves death...King Henry VIII is one reason why the British Royal Family is cursed!

[g1a1r1y3]

@rahya2008 Just as a reference, the current Royal Family is barely related to the Tudors (whose paternal line became extinct many centuries ago) and are not descendants of Henry VIII.

[CutterGrl05]

@g1a1r1y3 They are referred to as the "Windor Family" while Henry VII, his sons, and Henry VIII's children were Tudors. I find it interesting that Elizabeth and Henry both signed their names with "R"

[g1a1r1y3]

@CutterGrl05 Yeah, I know that. I am a former British citizen. The comment was to note that Henry VIII has no living descendants. By the way, English and British (with the united crowns) monarchs use the "R' in their signature to mean Rex (King) or Regina (Queen) in Latin. Only in cases when a monarch has abdicated or lost their throne have they then used a surname. Anyway, "Windsor" is a made-up, picked as a suitable, non-threatening name to further Anglicised the current family.

[feverspell]

@CutterGrl05 The "R" stands for Rex/Regina, Latin for King/Queen. So Elizabeth R, is Elizabeth Regina or "Elizabeth the Queen."

[Joyness333]

@rahya2008

I think what many failed, and continue to fail to realize here, is that no one can will the gender of a fetus; however, the chromosomes in the sperm (which belong to the male) can. An unfertilized egg (carrying an X chromosome) will be fertilized by the sperm, which can either carry an X or a Y chromosome. XX=girl, XY=boy. Looks like Henry had a really hard time delivering the goods.

[AllieCat356]

@7:21, THE HOST SPEAKS THAT JANE SEYMORE WAS WAITING TO TAKE HER CREST AND CROWNE. ALL THE BAD AND DEVIOUS THINGS HER FORMER LADY IN WAITING(JANE) DID. BUT WHAT ABOUT WHAT ANNE DID TO HENRYS FIRST WIFE, THE SAME THING, SHE TREATED THEIR DAUGHTER LIKE TRASH, AND THEY LAUGHED SHE DIED.SICK PEOPLE.SHE WAITED 4 HENRY FOR 5 YEARS AND THE COURT REFUSED TO SUPPORT THEM. SHE WAS STARVING AT TIMES. SO WHY IS IT SUCH A SHOCKING THING, FOR HISTORY TO REPEAT ITSELF.SHE DID GET IT WORSE,HENRY SUCKS

[klutzylynn]

Still can't understand why Henry would not just divorce Anne. He divorced Anne of Cleves with ease. He was probably a sadistic tyrant who enjoyed a good beheading.

[Moods921]

@klutzylynn he can't do that without any valid reason to do so, and of course there has to be proven with solid evidence. If he would able to just divorce her then he could have done that a long time ago to his first wife Cathrine.

[tiki8761]

@klutzylynn He was able to divorce Anne of Cleves because their marriage was unconsummated. It's obvious that he and Anne Boleyn consummated their marriage, especially since Anne became pregnant several times.

[Iusedtobeacat93]

@klutzylynn Henry was easily manipulated someone said of him "do not put an idea in his head if you want him to forget it" hence why it was so easy for AB to convince him of becoming head of church. Henry was frustrated with her failure, she was a tough woman divorce wouldn't do. Thomas Cromwell wanted to be rid of her because she was damaging his political aims with Rome and it was so easy to manipulate Henry into beheading her in that critical moment.

[kidsandjazz]

henry was a nut case

[vellefay]

I think Henry decided not burn her because he knew she was absolutely innocent

[starrynightz]

for all her faults, Anne died with great dignity, and produced one of England's greatest monarchs.

[498chris]

I think Henery had a problem.

[Princess101855]

This Anne Boleyn sounds like Natalie Dorman during her speech.

[oldfurniture]

@Princess101855

Natalie Dormer sounded like Anne. She said the exact words Anne said before she died.

[MilkyShooter95]

Now in modern days if your friend ever fall for a married guy, show her this video!

[punkkimiko]

she was into her bro? ew

[LordAlucardsbride]

@punkkimiko No she wasn't. It was a ploy to blacken her name forever.

[kerinapetshop]

@punkkimiko omg dont belive everything you here u wont get far in life if you do

[missnutmeg95]

@punkkimiko No, that was made up, along with other charges, to incriminate her. That way, she could be beheaded- thus disposed of, and King Henry was free to marry Jane, in the hopes that she would give him the son he wanted.

[celestecristal852]

Anne wasn't as evil and "bewtiching" as some made her out to be. I think people were in denile that a girl who is the opposite of the blonde-blue-eyed beauty won the king's heart. She was very smart, and a good wife too.
