It's honestly nice seeing this side of Anne Boleyn, it puts things into so much perspective. My mom says we are actually related to Anne (Not sure how my mom has the paper records somewhere, lol) I had mixed feelings on it after because we'd just watched The other Boleyn Girl a movie about it, but it leans into the stuff that I have recently discovered might have been false or twisted. I know it's strange but I can relate to her on some level after this video, having gone through heartbreak similar to her and knowing that pain. I also relate as far as her love language, I love seeing people enjoy things I've given them. Thank you for this video, I appreciate seeing this side of my ancestor and hope to see some more amazing history videos from you.
Also Might I suggest you touch on the Witney Blanket weavers company and the how they went from a small group to one of the oldest known Wool blanket companies still running to this day. It's not just the company either, that whole town has a rich history in wool dating back to the 1200's.

The names of the kings & queens were changed a lot of the times when they had their coronation. Symbolizing their new status but mostly due to showing respect etc to their ancestors who sat on the throne. Giving royals of even today a name to honor a current or deceased ruler continues. ie Queen Elizabeth has multiple granddaughters with her name somewhere in their name. Charolette Elizabeth Diana, then Elizabeth Diana, harry's daughter. Of course they took Charolette's name to make it their own trying to butter her up. So even today they continue to use same names over & over to honor previous royals. Elizabeth is 5th most recurring name since late 1800's. Others in the top ten names used by royalty: Victoria leads the number by having been used the most at 9 times. ( I think) also used. Alexandra, Margaret, Alice, Louise, Charolette, Diana, etc.

I both admire and hate Anne Boleyn.
Hate - because she usurped the rightful place of Katherine Aragon. Now, I'm not a massive fan of the Spanish queen but I dislike women who, despite knowing that the man they're after, is already committed to another woman, will still cling around him like a moth circling a light bulb (she may have done that in order to gain power and prestige under the intense pressure of her patriarchal members of her family but still.
Admire - because she wasn't a meek and submissive one like her sister Mary Boleyn, and was a fighter. She fought against the likes of Cardinal Wolsey - a formidable male figure both men and women found intimidating.
I could write a whole dissertation on this but that should be enough.

No the papal dispensation had nowt to do with marrying Anne. Katherine of Aragon needed it because she married his older brother first, but a CONSUMMATION never happened. Its nothing to do with hooking up. Henry then challenged the dispensation, as he worried (concerns he had before Anne; she was just a catalyst) that he had gone against the old testament. He was left without a son, the first worry that pointed to God's wrath, and he was TERRIFIED of sickness. So the plagues, in his mind, were further proofs of his sin with Katherine.
There's a couple of misinformed facts here.

Yellow was the colour of mourning in Spain. No respectable historian knows if wearing yellow was a slight or a sign of respect and they always state as such.
Why you felt the need to CHERRY PICK recorded facts is beyond me

The portrait of Elizabeth Howard, mother of Anne Boleyn is wrong. The person in the painting is Lady Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury. She was Elizabeth of York's (mother of Henry 8th) cousin.

Great video and I enjoyed the humour thrown in! Only one slight critique: the expression to bite the bullet means to do something unpleasant, it doesnt mean to pass away (03: 42)

Yellow was the mourning color in Spain at that time, so she and Henry, who also wore yellow, may have been doing the correct thing by wearing yellow.
