Anne Boleyn is one of the most famous women in history. Her meteoric rise from minor noble to Queen of England, and even swifter downfall to the block in the tower of London is the stuff of legend and the focus of too many novels and dramas to count. But there are two important characters in Anne’s story who don’t get as much attention. Her older sister Mary was King Henry’s mistress first, and bore him two children. And her younger brother George also had an impressive rise at court, which was cut short when he was accused of incest with Anne and lost his head 2 days before her. I’m at Hever Castle just south of London where the Boleyn siblings lived for much of their childhood. Let’s explore the castle and get to know more about the Queen Anne’s childhood, and the lives of her fascinating and tragic sister and brother, Mary Boleyn and George Boleyn.

I already enjoy this game have great week love your videos ❤❤❤
Just a normal 20 y/o girl binge watching videos from your channel. I love your videos, i love history, i live in southeast Asia
Me too!! I’ve been binge watching her videos for the past two weeks, im definitely addicted!! I live in South America
@@mariaclaudiapinho1967 you should checkout vlogging through history too. basically a historian doing a commentary on famous history videos, theyre great and insightful. I wish Lindsay and VTH’s videos to sleep 🤣🤣
same
Same but southeast America :)
I used Lindsay's videos to help me study for an A-Level exams
Sir William putting bulls on the Boleyn family crest is a Tudor Era Dad joke 😂😂😂😂
I feel sorry for George. His brother in law was so desperate to get rid of his wife (who he had split from Rome for) that he didn’t care if innocents were taken down with her.
I feel more sympathy for the whole Boleyn family now. Their parents knew the consequences of their daughters becoming a mistress of the king but couldn't say no to him, Anne did her best to say no but Henry refused to listen, then he screwed them all over. Mary probably did end up with the happiest ending by staying away from court and had her love match in her 2nd marriage but becoming ostracized by her family must have been hard. I'm glad Anne did have pity. It's sad that even though Thomas and Elizabeth didn't really want the king to make both their daughters his mistress, since they obviously knew it would be short lived, especially after what happened to Mary, and all they did to protect Anne, like making sure Henry couldn't get Anne alone, they still couldn't completely protect her without giving up their court positions and jobs. Henry VIII was a real selfish tyrant.
I feel more bad for the mother, Elizabeth Howard. Her brother and husband are more infamous in shoving their daughters and nieces in King Henry VIII’s line of sight yet they all ended pretty poorly. Namely Mary having the reputation as a whore and Anne and Katherine getting their heads chopped off.
In the end, the Boylens got the last laugh! Henry the tyrant wanted his name to continue, but in the end the Boylen's lineage continued to this day and got the throne while his died and lost the throne. HA!
Not entirely, it was still the Tudor who won... by Henry's sister, Margaret.
@jessicacarrillo1634 but not Henry. His lineage ended with elizabeth if you believe that Mary's first children were not his.
Isn’t the story of Henry VIII so wild? At the start he was the widely beloved golden boy, beautiful and strong, excelling in all things, before his head injury that eventually turned him into this corpulent monster… Henry is such a larger-than-life figure. When I think the word “king”, he is the first thing that comes to mind
@@thenoblepoptartThe worrying thing is that the head injury wasn’t the exactly the ultimate push into his awful nature. He was more than happy to behead his long time BFF Thomas Moore because the latter wouldn’t agree to his marriage to Anne Boleyn aka before Henry got his head smashed. I think the only difference is that had more impulse control to his evil desires and the head injury just caused him to be more spontaneous in his cruelty.
@@KL-ki8db I didn’t even know that he had executed him at that time, it looks like the injury was more exacerbative that the root cause…
Off topic, but one thing I like is when people talk about Margaret of Austria, it's more in relation to Anne Boleyn being a historical easter egg in her service. There's so much more to her than that but one of my favourite fun facts about her is that she was also a double sister-in-law to Katherine of Aragon. Her brother was Phillip the Handsome, who married Joanna of Castile, while Margaret married their brother, Prince John of Asturias. They were both deeply in love and had a passionate marriage. Sadly, John died shortly into their marriage while Margaret was pregnant and gave birth to a stillborn daughter. Plus, she was the godmother of Henry, Duke of Cornwall, Katherine's son.
She gave birth to a stillborn daughter not a son.
@jamellfoster6029 oh yes, thank you. I'll fix it.
Thanks for sharing that❤very interesting
I just love getting the historical "tea" from you lindsay. The ammount of information you manage to convey is AMAZING! Your story telling skills are incredible. English history is mt favorite and you always make it better! Keep the tea flowing. I'm here for it!
Thank you!
@@LindsayHoliday you're the Best
Your videos are the VERY best of all history videos ! Thank you for posting so many but it is still not enough 🩷🩷
The three siblings became stranged, one die far away from her loved ones, the other two were falsely accused and killed. Two women one man.
But the next generation had better endings, one was queen on her own right, and put her cousins in big roles close to her. Two women one man again.
Oh I loved Hever Castle. You can just imagine Henry riding into the courtyard
I personally may not have the most sympathetic or warm feelings towards Anne Boleyn, but I'm actually quite proud to be a descendant of her sister, Mary. Her contemporaries would say that she was just a pretty face and not very bright but in the end, she turned out to be the smartest one. She outlived all of her family, found real love in her second marriage, her current descendants sit on the throne in the UK, and most importantly, she managed to keep her head.
I love Anne, but am also descendant of Mary. I also have the initials AB and proudly rock the B necklace, even though I'm married now lol
Anne was a victim of terrible men, she deserved none of what happened to her.
@@MicaiahBaron EXACTLY!!!!!
@@Janelane529 Anne Boleyn was my favorite of the wives of Henry VIII.
@MicaiahBaron She was the driving force behind Katherine of Aragon's suffering, a wonderful woman who was nothing but kind to her. Well, Anne wanted him, so she got him and looked at what happened. Karma.
Mary was his mistress too, but at least Mary never tried usurp a wife from her marriage.
You forgot to mention that Henry VIII's Fifth wive Catherine Howard was actually Anne Boleyn's maternal first cousin. Catherine Howard's father Thomas Howard was the brother of Anne Boleyn's mother Elizabeth Howard. A video about Catherine Howard's tragic life, including how she was mistreated (that's the safest way I could say it) by the men around her would make a great episode too. Also, Princess Diana is also descended from Mary Boleyn, so not only are Prince William and Harry descended from Mary Boleyn through their father Charles III, but also through their mother!
Cant belive a research study when I was in 6th grade could lead me to such an amazing youtube channel. Im in Colledge now and still a massive fan of you for 6 years now. Love you so much Lindsay💟💟💟
Thank you!
No way I also found her when I was in 6th grade! Rough times… rough times 🥲
I see Anne boleyn as both ambitious and victim of schemes of the court 😢😢😢
A scheming madam
@@Happyheretic2308 👍👍
I'm a direct descendant of the Boleyn's, Anne is my 15x 1st cousin. It's so fascinating yet sad how they rose through the ranks, only to be betrayed.
You'd be a descendant and Anne would be your ancestor. You have very cool ancestry
There is no direct line to the Boleyns. However
@@jessicacarrillo1634 there is and I have it on Ancestry website
@@jessicacarrillo1634 I am related to Lady Elizabeth Tilney, she is my 15x great grandmother, if you know your history then you'd know she is Ann Boleyn's grandmother.
Hi. I am from her sister Mary.
Margret of Navarre and Margret of Austria did NOT in fact, push Anne to embrace her protestant faith. In fact, those two women HATED protestants. They were horrified about the English schism and out right hated Anne.
I'm a Queen Anne fan. But lets be honest, Thomas is the reason behind all of this. He wanted power and used his daughters. Anne couldn't tell her dad no.
I thought in this video she said it was the mom pushing it along with the uncle and the dad was against it
Ironic that Mary Boelyn turned out to have the common sense to steer clear of the Tudor court intrigues and kept her head. She truly got the last laugh. Kudos to her because she was street smart. 😂😂😂😂
Are you blaming her siblings for getting executed? How on earth is that their fault? I’m sure she was laughing at the fact that her family was ruined 🙄
@bbybella9937 NOT at all. I'm just commenting on the fact that Mary, unlike her siblings, was NOT ambitious for more and was smart enough to be content with what she had. After all, Mary was also Harry #8 mistress, but never aspired to be Queen. Once again, she was VERY smart and took what she could get because she realized the higher the climb, the further the fall. Thanks 😃
@@alisaoliver1969 You’re still doing it. Someone being ambitious doesn’t mean they deserved to get their head chopped off. And how on earth was Anne ambitious when Henry wouldn’t leave her alone? It was normal for families to get special treatment at that time.
@bbybella9937 Whatever. Just because Harry wouldn't leave Anne alone does NOT mean that Anne should've aspired to be Queen when Harry already HAD a queen who went by the name of Catherine of Aragon. Here's where the ambition to replace the queen came in for Anne, and it worked for her--for a time. Since it was deemed easy to replace Catherine, someone else deemed it easy to replace Anne in time, and that is exactly what happened, and Anne lost her head as a direct result of the ambition of Jane Seymour and HER family. All of this is what Mary was smart enough to avoid by being content to just be Harry's side piece and not try to be the next wife/Queen, and kept her head as a result. It might help for you to learn some history. Thanks 😃 😊
@@bbybella9937Anne was ambitious in the part that she wanted to be Queen. However, I wouldn’t completely blame her, it was either be a mistress like her sister and get dumped or try to be a Queen and have political power in the matters that interest her.
Thank you for covering Mary Boleyn! She is one of my great great great great great+ grandparents, and it’s fascinating to hear her story and the tragic loss of Anne. Much love
I didn’t know she was anyone’s grandparent.
@@CplArvinBethe yep!! The Boleyn/Bullen family is still around and strong! We still have noble ties to this day, but I’m just an artist lol.
@@sunski_arts That’s really cool to know you can trace your family that far back to her, like when they found descendants from Richard III. 👍🏼
@@sunski_artsI’ve seen a few on here saying they are descendants of Mary. King Charles is too it seems. I’m a descendant of William brereton brother one of the men killed and accused of sleeping with her. Him and his brother my ancestor were tax collectors for the king and privy to the throne I think it’s called. Anyway it’s all fascinating history
@CplArvinBethe they did not find descendants of Richard III, when his bones were rediscovered a few years ago it was DNA from his siblings descendants that was tested
RIP To All The Dead Mentioned 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
I'm descended from Mary Boleyn through Catherine Carey (Knollys) daughter, Anne Knollys who married my ancestor Sir Thomas West, Baron De La Warr. Anne & Thomas's sons went on the be the first governors of Virginia & the US state of Delaware is named in honor of the eldest (surviving) son, also named Thomas. I am descended from their son John, who served as governor of Virginia & was in the House of Burgesses ( sort of a colonial predecessor to Congress). His son, also named John, married a relative of Pocahontas.
Seems that being disowned saved Mary from the same fate as her siblings. Interesting to find out that the Queen Mum was a direct descendant!
Lindsay definitely has gotten me more addicted 2 history
Coming down with a cold and henceforth having a crummy day. When I saw your video it made me smile. Thanks! 🤧
This is my fav channel! Thank you for your deep dives into the Tudor dynasty!❤❤❤
Love that you state Mary bore Henry 2 children. I agree with this.
No it’s wrong. There is simply no evidence for this and she shouldn’t state it as fact.
EXCELLENT as always! And top production
Thanks for the upload!
I kinda feel sorry Anne. Imagine how you would feel to have a King chasing you, in the beginning, you were not interested at all because of how he treated your sister, and you wanted to marry a man of your own station only for the king to push all those men away and reluctantly break you down emotionally. I mean Anne can be forgiven to think that Henry really loved her seeing as he went through the church and discarding his wife and the whole country just to have her. I mean what woman wouldn’t fall for that, what woman wouldn’t think “wow this guy really loves me”. He did all of that only to discard and kill her just as how she foresaw it. But her greatest legacy was her daughter Elizabeth I. Henry knew the accusations against Anne was false but went along with it cause he wanted to get rid of her for having a daughter. Funny how Henry killed Anne because he gave her a daughter only for that daughter to be the one to give his dynasty the glory he always wanted. Oh the irony. Rest easy Anne.
And for Mary I also feel for her. Known to history as “whore” and just the sister of queen only for her descendants to wipe away he shame and give her some glory through Queen Elizabeth ii and King Charles iii. You made it Mary, I hope you are happy wherever you are. ❤
Liebe Lindsay, herzlichen Dank für dieses interessante und sehr gute Video! 💐
Thank you Lindsay! ❤
I LOVE SEEING YOU IN THE VIDEO WHILE NARRATING
PLS DO THIS ALL THE TIME I LOVE IT! ❤️❤️❤️
Lindsay Thank You So Much for making this video on the Boleyn siblings! I am the family geneaolgist for my generation and I have turned up some incredible historical figures in our family background...one of them being descended through Mary Boleyn through her daughter Catherine Carey and then her grandaughter Lettice Knollys! We would love to prove one day through DNA testing that we might be living descendants of Henry VIII (we have no hopes of reclaiming any lost family legacy lol) it would be nice to know for 100% though! In the meanwhile I am proud of the knowledge that my 15th times grandmother was Mary Boleyn! I believed you handled discussing Mary and her beloved Boleyn siblings with a lot of grace and empathy! Keep up the inspiring work Lindsay! Love your channel!
❤😊🎉
Good to see you Lindsay!! 😀 Fantastic video as usual.😊
The Queen was descended from Mary Boleyn , Ann’s sister
Awesome as always❤
Excellent video, as always!! Always looking forward to my tea time and history lesson!!
You’ve really blown up. I remember when there was not that many of us. Congrats and good for you!
Lindsay me and my sisters love your videos so much! We loved your royal quiz video and were hoping you could make another?💗💗
Correct your English! Correct: My sisters and I...Incorrect and makes you look ignorant: Me and my sisters.
There was also a TV series in 2003 starring Natascha McElhone as Mary and Jodhi May as Anne. Author Alison Weir wrote a biography on Mary. It's worth checking out. Mary may have had a not so great reputation but she survived her family's downfall and her line continues this day in The British Royal Family. For all the efforts Henry VIII tried to eradicate Anne she became the most talked about of all of his wives. George unfortunately became a victim of the Boleyn's success and circumstances. The ones who suffered was Thomas and Elizabeth Boleyn.
I just got home from school and I love this video
Love english history with your voice ❤❤❤
Thomas Howard, the true Boleyn villain
Excellent video. Now you need to do a video on George's wife Jane Parker (spoiler alert: she'll lose her head, too, when she becomes embroiled with the other Howard queen) who was an interesting character in her own right.
Thanks so much, Lindsay! Every week I tune in to enjoy your tea and amazing work! Absolutely love your channel! You're the best Anne's siblings have such fascinating lives! thanks for this! Hearth please!
When will your next video be out I have been waiting all day. I am loving your videos !!!!
Catherine and Henry Carey bore a striking resemblance to Elizabeth I. I know that they were 1st cousins via their Mothers. But they look as though they could also be sisters. I am inclined to believe that Mary Boleyn's kids may have been fathered by Henry VIII.
There’s no evidence so. Also Catherine’s father was related to Henry anyways.
There is no evidence whatsoever that they were Henry's.
If, they had been, he would have acknowledged them, as he did with his son by Bessie Blount. He heaped titles, money and honours on Henry Fitzroy : Duke of Richmond and Suffolk, Lord High Admiral of England , and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.
Do you suppose that while Mary was in serious financial difficulties after the death of her husband, Henry would have stood by and watched his children go without, while Fitzroy was living in the lap of luxury at Court?
Henry wasn't embarrassed by the fact he had an illegitimate son - he openly acknowledged him, was extremely proud of him and even took him to France with him to meet King Francis.
Do you really think he only had a couple illegitimate kids .I wouldn’t be surprised if he had dozen he was a horrible person ,father, husband and king
Probably
@@oliviapendergast1 , he was sick to prove his manhood to the World - he would have acknowledged any illegitimate children as he did with Henry Fitzroy.
Also, he may have been an atrocious husband and father, but he was actually a good king who brought peace and prosperity to a kingdom that had been racked with civil wars and wars with France for centuries. Trade flourished and taxes were low. He dragged England out of the feudalist Medieval era into the early modern age.
He broke with Rome and released us from the superstitions and all - encompassing rule of the Catholic Church, built up a formidable navy and created a network of defensive structures around the coast that were still in use in WW2. He left the country in a much better state than it was when he inherited - he changed England from an insignificant island off the coast of Europe into a powerful player on the World stage.
He was a nasty human being in his personal relationships, but a strong king - which is what England needed.
Doing my family tree and the boleyns are in there and the howards, i find it all facinating to hear and learn
i really like how you make your videos! very satisfying indeed!!
Hmm, how funny. I just watched The Other Boleyn Girl yesterday. Awful movie. William Carey just disappears from it. He's just gone all of a sudden and William Stafford is asking Mary to live with him. And that's really just the least bad thing ...
Can you do a video about queen Cleopatra of Egypt?
I love your videos ❤
Another tuesday another amazing video by the Queen of History! Your voice is so soothing and amazing to listen to Lindsay! Could hear you for hours talking about painting and never get bored! Your hardwork is always appreciated, all those AI history documentaries out there have NOTHING on you! Huge fan, and can you please consider a video on the trastamara family?
Thank you!
@@LindsayHoliday Always 🥳🥳🥳
Did i see you post something about the Astor’s yesterday?
I felt sorry for George he did not want to get involved.
This is so sad 😔
They were used, abused and acused by not just the fatso tyrant Henry VIII but also by the ambitions of their family. Mary was the smartest of the siblings since she chose to marry for love and live a quiet, peaceful life away from court.
As if Henry needed to be ensnared 😂
Thanks!
OOOH!! Homegirl is visiting England! You go, Lindsay. It's very well deserved
My mom’s side of the family’s last name is Boling (Bowling) and my mom says that according to my grandfather, it’s because we may be related to Anne Boleyn. Most likely through a relative with a similar last name.
None of the male Boleyns survived. Mary was the only Bolyen to make it out of Henry's court alive, and that's because she became a Stafford. Her daughter by the King, Catherine Carey, married Sir Frances Knollys, and their children founded an aristocratic dynasty starting from the Elizabethan Era.
Mary's son by the King, Henry Carey, was granted the title of Baron Hunsdon by his sister-cousin Elizabeth I. He also had numerous issue, but they are Careys, not Bolyens.
Your grandfather was delusional. The Boleyn bloodline died out specifically, the male bloodline. Maybe have a tiny bit. But it would have been through Mary Boleyn. George Boleyn never had any children
I feel this is a weird twist of fate for me after remembering reading _The Other Boleyn Girl_ at highschool...
How you ever thought of doing a series about China's Emperors and Empresses or even about Japan's?
Thanks👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌹
I'm really not a fan of Anne Boleyn. I do agree she was wrongly convicted. However, I just can't overlook how rotten she was to Henry's daughter Mary, who just wanted her mother to be treated with appropriate respect. That said, this was another great Lindsay video and as always I enjoyed the tea!
I agree with you on this. I can't understand how she could be so cruel to Mary. I'll never be an Anne fan but my God Henry did her so wrong in the end.
On the contrary, Thomas Boleyn returned to Court, served dutifully and still held some influence. He even attended Prince Edwards christening
Is it possible that their father, Thomas Boleyn, sent Ann away to be maid of honor to Margaret of Austria and not Mary because he was hoping that Mary would possibly catch the eye of either Arthur (or Henry) and later be wed to a future king or the spare?
Ok this is not important or anything, but your shirt is so cute! I love it!
Oh, thank you!
I have Mary as an ancestor grandmother. She was aunt to Queen Elizabeth 1st.
i know that the movie The Other Boleyn Girl is a ficcion,but i really love it! thanks lindsay for bringing the true history behind it! kisses from Brazil
I was getting frustrated that I swear I recognized George Boleyn, but couldn't place the face. Then it clicked, I swear I went to school with a guy that looked very similar. Like that sketch could be a sketch of him lol
I've been getting really interested in George's wife Jane, there's so many different accounts of their relationship. Was the notion of them not having a happy marriage based off of them not having any children? Or because of the tiny white lies that she might have said that aided his execution? I'm curious because I've always heard that they did have such an unhappy marriage. However she was with a part of the family for quite some time. Clearly had aided in a future queen that was of course related to the Boleyn family. It's almost hard to believe that she was in no way attached to the family itself and furthermore attached to her husband.
That must have been devastating to lose two children like that.
Can you make a story of Queen Amina of Zaria
Can you do one about the Spanish inquisition
Did they know queen mary of Scots? I know she also grew up in the French court. Sorry if it was answered in the video. I'm watching while also working so I may have missed it.
Mary Queen of Scots was born/arrived after they left the French court.
Isn't bologna the largest city and the capital of the amalia Romania region in northern Italy ? Yes there is a map in Tudor time bologna in francia that was published in Rome around 1549 or 1602
Yes, it is. Miss Holiday just mispronounced the city earlier. She was speaking about Boulogne in France.
Also off topic, but why (in the thumbnail) is George labeled as “friend”?
The mistress and friend are probably their relationship to Henry before he tried to get rid of most of them.
@@KL-ki8db Now that makes sense. I suppose if we are talking about George, it would be better to say brother in law, but I get your point.
Enjoyed the historical information about the Boleyn siblings. But, I was thrown off a bit by the use of the portrait, painted by Hans Holbein, of Thomas More's family. Specifically, using the images of Elizabeth Dauncey and Cecily Heron, daughters of Thomas More, to represent Anne and Mary Boleyn. What made this an odd choice? Elizabeth and Cecily were both pregnant as evidenced by their gowns being laced open. As there are a dearth of paintings with Anne and Mary, using images from the Tudor period are expected. But I wouldn't have chosen More's daughters.
I always wished we knew about Mary's life post court post Henry post siblings execution. Did she inherit from her parents at all? Where was likely to have been buried? The Boleyns story is sad in some ways
It is actually thought that maybe Mary had no affairs and the man who claimed this also spread the 6th finger of Anne and her bucktooth rumour. It's not thought Francis I even said these things about her being an English mare
Ahhh yes another great video thank you my teacher
That’s so cool! Even though Mary’s descendants were not Tudors, in a way they kind of are (literally cousins to Queen Elizabeth I for crying out loud 😂). And they are sitting on the throne today. So the two Boleyn sisters had their offspring sit on the throne in the end 😮
❤❤❤
Interesting
hello Lindsay
This is very nitpicky from a phonograph collector, but the phonograph at 24:57 is a reproduction. It's a pity that such a grand museum estate can't get a genuine one.
Although it is thought that Mary’s 2 children might be Henry’s, it seems improbable. If Henry had children (even if daughter first), he would loudly proclaim and announce them as his bastards, to show how virile he can be. He wouldn’t especially ignore a son if Henry Carrey was his.
Huge fan of the Boleyns and that family did all they could to secure prominence in that century!

What's the difference between a lady in waiting and a maid of honour for a queen?
Maids were unmarried, ladies married

I heard there was a Pharaoh that made it to his 90s.

Where is Katherine Howard? Is she considered Anne Boleyn's younger sibling?
They were cousins
🤨she wasn't her sibling, she was her cousin
Katherine Howard was the daughter of Lord Edmund Howard who was the elder brother of Elizabeth Howard Boleyn the mother of the Boleyn children. Katherine Howard was their first cousin.
Cousins as I'm doing my family tree and boleyns and Howard's are in there that's how I know they were cousin's, so i was shocked to see their names..
@@lesleyanne1156 Are you also related to the Seymours?! If you go up the family tree one more rung they are cousins too.

16:24 HOLD UP!!
They had indoor plumbing with hot and cold running water in the 1500s?
THANK GOD SOMEONE ELSE NOTICED THAT!!! 🤦🏽♀️
Also the nonsense about the current royal family being descendants of the Boleyns is BS 😒😒.... If she'd have done her homework, then she would know that the Windsor's last name was made up by Queen Victoria after some wars/scandal in Europe painted Germany in a bad light, thusly she chose to change the royal last name officially to Windsor (after her favorite castle -- the castle preceded the name, not the other way around 🙄) and the original last name of the royal family of England tracing back from before Queen Victoria was HAPSBURG.... hence why she married Prince Albert of Austria/Germany because they were 2nd cousins 😅 and the mildly incestuous intermarriages were a typical way that powerful families held on to the monarchies in western Europe (also why you commonly find such Prince/Princess pairings, "keeping it in the family"😉 y'know 😏)
And that one "resource" of Phillipa (cannot-for-the-LIFE-of-me-remember-her-lastname)🤦🏽♀️ that she's basing much of this material on, is well known for being NOTORIOUSLY HISTORICALLY INACCURATE along with the statement about the 🤦🏽♀️ "AND A COLD RUNNING WATER" ( LITERALLY hundreds of years before the new-fangled indoor fountain-like water-pumps were ever mentioned in history in the late 1700s) secured my decision to UNSUBSCRIBE from this channel....
This is more than just a simple oversight --- that GLARING kind of INACCURACY is born either from PURE IGNORANCE or glaring laziness and gullibility for believing any and everything read that coincides with the poster's currently held beliefs and negligence in vetting their sources for historical accuracy....
If anyone would like to watch a TRULY EDUCATIONAL AND TRUSTWORTHY channel for learning about this and many other eras of history in detail then I would highly recommend anything from the @HistoryCalling (one of my favorites,the narrator's accent is enchanting and they not only cite and link ALL of their sources, but they take a subjective approach particularly to written accounts sometimes hundreds of years after the events into context of the sources views and relations to the subject, as well as popular purveying public views at the time of the writings); @HISTORY is also recommended being uploaded from the History Channel itself 😅; @HistoryTime another reputable channel presenting the results of historical and archeological research in a wonderfully narrated format; and I would also recommend @KazRowe also has a selection of well researched and wonderfully hosted videos on various subjects and eras in history and always strives for as much accuracy as can be gleaned from the subject material and NEVER puports to know the ABSOLUTE TRUTH of anything in history because everything is subjective and there is NO SUCH THING AS COMPLETELY UNBIASED SOURCE MATERIAL --as they're all written accounts from the perspective of the eras they were written in...
ALWAYS BEWARE HISTORICAL CHANNELS THAT CLAIM TO KNOW THE WHOLE TRUTH OF ANYTHING BECAUSE ALL HISTORY IS SUBJECTIVE AND UNLESS THEY PERSONALLY WITNESSED IT AND THEY ARE RECALLING THEIR OWN PERSONAL ACCOUNT THEY WILL NEVER KNOW THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH OF ANYTHING IN THE PAST.... TRY TO FIND A TRUSTWORTHY SOURCE THAT LOOKS AT ALL OF THEIR SOURCE MATERIAL WITH A HEALTHY AMOUNT OF SKEPTICISM AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE PREVAILING ATTITUDES OF THE ERAS IN QUESTION....
@ambertypereiraty3627 I had to stop reading your reply about a third of the way through.
Maybe if you would have done YOUR homework you'd have seen that she said Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (the queen mother) was a descendant of the Boleyn so the bloodline that connects them comes through marriage, not directly from the Royal line of tge family.
Second, Queen Victoria was a HANOVER, not a Habsburg. When she married Prince Albert she became a Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
This name wasn't changed until 2 generations later around WWI when KING GEORGE V changed it is Widsor.
Maybe you should do your homework and get your facts straight before you start trying to discredit someone else.
Also, she says right in the video that Philipa's books are not historicaly accurate. She only mentioned them in reference that these works of fiction were INSPIRED by the sisters' relationship.
I personally don't think they are Henry the 8ths kids but a lot of people do so what do I know.
I don’t think there’s a single chance in hell that Henry would have turned down the chance to claim another healthy son even if it meant pissing Anne off. If Henry even remotely believed that he was the father, he would have claimed the boy. The fact that he didn’t speaks volumes
@@emilybarclay8831 Yes, I think the same! Henry claimed his other illegitimate children, so why not Mary's?
@@elizabethduplat5998 especially since Mary’s son was born right before or just as Henry began courting Anne, so she wouldn’t have really had the right to complain, nor would she have had the influence she had over him later. In 1526 he was just trying to have a one night stand and wouldn’t have passed up another son for that
PHILIPPA GREGORY MENTION🗣‼️‼️
(I know her books aren't historically accurate but I do find them interesting)
Poor Jane Parker her husband died
To to sad
We don't know if Mary & Henry were together only once or had a long affair. We only know it happened at all because it's mentioned when Henry petitioned the Pope for a dispensation to marry Anne.
