Aika Papa In this video, she explains that they had wet nurses to breastfeed because it was believed in that time that babies could absorb personality traits from breast milk so they were fed by women with the most desirable traits. It wasn’t because of her child’s gender and it doesn’t seem much like she had much choice based on the customs at court. Also what the above comment said about her wanting to get pregnant again as quickly as possible. Things were very different back then and there were different beliefs. Nothing was said to imply that Anne refused to breastfeed because she was displeased that the baby was a girl. It sounds like you misheard what was said

It sounds like Elizabeth held Anne in very high esteem and seemed to love her mother and what she idolized her to be even though she was unable to spend time with her. I believe she loved her more than her father, the king and one of the reasons she never married. She knew if she did she would give up her power of the monarchy and her power as a woman. Smart lady!

Shakespeare’s play “Henry VIII” presents Anne Boleyn in a very favourable light, referring to her as a “goodly lady”, which would have reinforced a positive image of Anne in the minds of the public. Also if you read Shakespeare’s play “Othello” between the lines, Desdemona could be seen as an oblique reference to Anne Boleyn, I.e. falsely accused of adultery and brutally made away with.

Whatever we feel about Henry VIII, we can never fully understand the context in which he lived and the pressures that were on him. The idea of a Queen successfully reigning a country alone was unimaginable in his lifetime, so of course he was praying and fighting for a male child. An asshole just does what he wants, lacking any sense of responsibility. My impression of Henry is however (despite all the stereotyping from novels and films) that all his life he was desperately trying to do the right thing.

After marrying Katherine in 1509 he lived 28 years without a male heir. As only the 2nd monarch of a still precarious dynasty the pressure on him was immense. He himself was even a "spare heir" as his elder brother had died. In the eyes of many England was, for 3 decades, one flu or pox away from civil war over a female succession. It could be argued that his by-any-means pursuit of a legitimate male child was in the national interest.

lhzook I doubt very much that she had any conscious memories of her mother. her mother died when she was two. That does not mean she did not have experiences of her mother that are, shall we say, “unconscious“ for a pre-verbal child, that certainly affected her development and psyche but not ones that are accessible to consciousness. Thus, I think she did very much rely on her Boleyn family to tell her about her mother. The younger a child is when she loses her mother, the more profound the loss it is.You need a mother at least for 7-10 years for a solid development. The older the child is who loses a parent, the more they can verbally and emotionally process it, the more time they’ve had with that parent, the more time the parent has had to do their job. but she lost her mother at a very vulnerable age. as a baby and toddler, she knew who her mother was, In her toddler mind it must’ve been something like “beautiful angel lady soft always smells good soft clothes warm sing” and then, “beautiful angel lady again feel so close and good so gentle kiss laugh giggle.“ And on with each episode bonding more deeply with this fantastic, bejeweled figure who arrives and envelops her in love.Perhaps eventually identifying her and announcing “mama!” at her last appearances, and then, no more. The bond violently broken in a way that no toddler could comprehend. that is the profound unconscious loss that unfortunately E.R. did not have Dr. Freud to go to. And then to be raised only to hear the worst horrible things about her mother coming from even her father himself. So she did have an experience of her mother. Probably most of those experiences were very nice for her. The trauma was in the sudden loss and the inability really to process it. And nobody to really replace her either. She had nannies and mothers surrogates, but not that “special angel lady mother” not “mama!” who went away suddenly and never came back. And I think that is why she wore that ring, because she longed to connect with the memory, any memory, of her mother. She knew at some level she was connected to her deeply, that those critical interactions her first two years she sensed and felt at some level her mothers love. Perhaps she needed that portrait to sense a little of that love she received. Because it was in short supply after she went away. I’m quite certain that her mother figured deeply in her life and in her reign. not just for the genetics; but much more than that. I was always a little comforted that Diana Mothered her children through the most important years of their development before she died unexpectedly. Certainly it would’ve been a lot better had she not died and was able to be present at her sons’ marriages. But at least for William, less so for Harry, she was there for the foundation. Elizabeth had no such fortune. Much more wounding.

So many historians seem to be disconnected from the human cost of the events they describe. And I guess in accumulating so much information, that pain can be overlooked or dulled over time. But you always seem to appreciate the human side of it. It’s really refreshing and easier to get into, for me. I’m maybe too empathetic for my own good, lol, so the dryness of most historians really bothers me. I saw a thing about the Titanic and they were just excited about new info and said something to the effect of “and down she goes, and BOOM! That’s what we want to hear!” It was appalling to me. Sure. They are experts. And I respect that. But... so many people died. The site is a mass grave for all intents and purposes. It bothers me for people to be so unfeeling.

Also Rebecca Moon also a Cheek descendant maintains a page The Cheeks of Alleghany County which traces Cheek ancestry in the United States. They both are great scources. I then traced backwards from my known ancestors in America to England via postmortems and rolls in Latin. I concluded a male to male lineage from myself to Sir John Cheke. Then from John Cheke to his father Peter. To Mottistone Isle of Wight. From Peter Cheke's father, I used the history of the Isle of Wight,postmortems and rolls to track him back to Hugh De Chekenhull the Sherrif of Whippingham on Isle of Wight. In his postmortem from his father, he inherited Chekenhull, present day Chyknell in Claverly Shropshire,Wolvestone,still a manor in South Hampton,and Osterbourne in Whippingham which is Queen Victoria's Osborne house. Hugh's father is listed in a roll in 1209 for embladement on Morph Forrest which was the King's land. He farmed on the Kings Land illegally. His mother was Cecilia and they are both found in the Document. Then from there I traced heraldry. Robert De Chekenhull was descended from William De Buville,a Norman and his brother and likely his father, all participated in the Norman invasion. William is listed as a cousin of King William the Conqueror. He had a brother Humphrey. Both landowners in the Domesday book. Saxwallo is listed as their father. Saxwallo is also called The Sire De Beville et Yveline . Then I used DNA testing. I am a Y to Y descendant at least to 1209. Saxwallow appears to be descended from Torquitil and Angquitil of Harcourt. Who are descended from Beranard The Dane. Bernard is the brother in law of Rollo. They married sisters. When I consult say the Beville lineage or the Sewwal lineage, varient spelling of Saxwallo descendants, I match with a Y marker . Noel, knollyes matches are autosomal but all 3 claim descent from Saxwallow or William his son or even Humphrey his other son, I match. So I can conclude with reasonable certainty that I am a direct male descendant at least to 1209 and possibly a male to male descendant of Bernard. But nevertheless certainly of familial descent from Bernard. DNA,Heraldry, post mortems and rolls as well as people being recorded in similar locations within a probable period of time seem to indicate it is true.

Her father and his male ancestors can be traced back through Roman records to about 40 B.C. So heraldry says I am descended from Saxwallo Sire De Buville, Desendants of Tourquital and his father Anquital De Harcourt,descendants of Bernard the Dane,Descenadant of Holstein Saxon.

Thank you Claire! I appreciate the details you've included in the video that are never mentioned in fiction, such as the pagaent that includes Anne Boleyn as well as Henry, and her use of the falcon badge. Has anyone published the sympathetic biographies by Wyatt, Fox, etc? Regarding the locket ring, I've seen photos online and my initial reaction was that the miniature was of Anne. I always feel touched when I see it. Has anyone identified or speculated on the artist? Again, thank you. I'm glad to have found your channel.

When you think all that changed just so Henry could have her it’s pretty amazing. I understand your love for her.

Thank you, I really like your presentations. I've read everything that's come out in the last 10 years. I think that there's 2 schools, one school wants to portray Ann as a horrible person, & the other sympathetically. The way I look at it is she had to do what she did, she was meant to do what she did to change the world, provide the opportunity for mankind to progress, and go forward. The United States had to happen, and honestly, everything happened because of Henry, the 8th, thru Ann's support, changing his religion. If he had not done so, the United States of America would not exist it's as simple as that. It would have been established under the old program of the Pope, such as South America. People really don't understand the difference, but those countries were kept under, I would say a feudal system way up into the late 1800's until they were able to overthrow the power of the church or people who supported the old style system over their country.

I really enjoyed the longer video. Could tell about Queen Anne as a Queen? How much do we know about her acts as queen and how did the people of England react to her AFTER she was Queen? We know that she didnt agree about the money coming from places of worship and into the king's pocket but wanted it to go into places to educate. So she did care about the people of England. When people speak of Anne it's like her whole universe was Henry and nothing else. The way I picture Anne - she was a woman with grit & fight in her. She is smart and plans ahead. So I think she would have went into this role with a plan of what she wanted go accomplish. I know the 2nd thing Anne is connected to is the Reformation but I havent read anything thus far to make me think Anne solely focused on this subject. Although, I would love to talk to George about all of it. I have been studying religions in general. Sorry for the long comment. I hope you feel better soon. I could email you instructions on how to make a shower or bath bomb that could help open you up. I would use a humidifier as well. It could help break up all that is in your head. P.s.

Steel Magnolia- I agree. I think we tend to focus on Henry and what happened. But Anne was much more than just the man she stood next to! What did she do as Queen? What were her relationships like with those that attended on her? And about the breastfeeding... I thought I read somewhere that she had wanted to breastfeed Elizabeth but her ladies and the King said that was just not suitable for a Queen. Granted as I’ve read quite a few things about her life, they can sometimes get jumbled about between fact and fiction so, it may be one of those rumors I picked up from a fictional account of Anne.

Claire, did you see the 'checquers ring' at the 2003 exhibition in Greenwich, marking the 400th anniversary of Elizabeth's death? I saw it there. And I am convinced it contains a portrait of Elizabeth and her mother, Anne Boleyn. The face pattern is all too similar to the one in the NPG portrait of Anne. It can't be anybody else. It would make sense for Elizabeth to pay tribute to Anne so privately, given the fact that many people would have been all too happy to raise the ghost of the trial of Anne to call Elizabeth a 'bastard'. Many were questioning her legitimacy when she ascended the throne in 1558. Politically, Elizabeth had to make noise about being Henry's daughter. Privately, she paid tribute to her mother.

There is a 16th century painting of Elizabeth that has an unfinished painting of another woman underneath Elizabeth’s image. I feel like this mysterious lady looks a lot like the Hever Rose portrait of Anne Boleyn, as well as the gable hood sketch of a lady who is assumed to be Anne, by Hans Holbein the Younger. It would be interesting to imagine that Elizabeth perhaps would have liked to have an image of herself painted over an image of her mother, perhaps as a way to be close to her at least in a painting.

Probably lack of hygiene, and lack of knowledge on how to handle the baby. Like you are not to let the baby sleep on their stomachs and so on. And just imagine a wet nurse doing number two, wiping herself, no hand wash then go over to the baby and using the same hand to pinch the nipple into the baby's mouth. Could be fine nine out of ten times, but that tenth time, a stomach virus or something follows, and the baby dies of dehydration. Also, none of my babies got any colostrum from me as I ended up in the intensive care with every birth. They have great immune defense. while their entire class is sick, mine still go to school unaffected.

Hi Claire. Firstly, I would like to say thank you for your wonderful videos! Like you I love Tudor history and Anne is my favourite ever since I first learned about her at school (long time ago now!). I would love to know if you have a favourite Tudor portrait? My favourite one of Anne is the Rose Portrait but of course this was painted after her death. My favourite Tudor Portrait of all is the one of young Princess Elizabeth where she is wearing the red dress and holding the book. I don't know why but it has always spoke to me....I love the details on the dress and the detail on her hands. Would love to know if there is a Tudor Portrait or portraits that speak to you. Keep up the fantastic work.

Edward was never particularly close with either of his sisters. He did like Elizabeth better, however. Most likely because they shared the same religion, while Edward publicly shamed Mary for her strong Catholic beliefs. Elizabeth had gone to visit Edward at court when she had overstayed her welcome at Catherine Parr's household at the age of 15. Edward had been less than happy to see her, but did listen while she told him about what Catherine Parr's husband, Sir Thomas, had done to her. He allowed her to gather her bearings in his palace, and dear Sir Thomas was mysteriously executed a few months later.

Kiera Haggarty :and she was how old? 15? WoW. Hmm.. K Parr walks in on Elizabeth in the arms of her husband. This is the surviving spouse of her dad, Henry 8, and former Queen, so her former stepmom, Who took this girl (who had no one) under her wing, and gave her some protection for those few years when she was queen, and befriended her. Elizabeth betrays her. 2. K Parr kicks her out of her house; 3. Before the dirt really spreads, she runs to her half brother, the young king, to apparently give her side of the story before he hears the gossip. Plus, she has really no where to go. He registers her grievances. Doesn’t seem to like her very much though. 4. K Parr’s husband is executed shortly thereafter based on what charges? And he was a Seymour, as in Jane Seymour, the King’s mother? Seems like her brother got rid of her problem. Maybe saved her reputation. God knows what her mother’s was put through, fairly or unfairly. Could Elizabeth have been this impulsive and foolish at 15 years old? Of course! she’s 15, Not well parented and probably dying for some attention, love or a reasonable facsimile. Could Elizabeth have been this ruthlessly political at 15 years old? I would say, resoundingly, yes! did she ever have any stable attachments in childhood? Seems like it was just one nightmare after another for her, either lived or observed, directly or indirectly. All quite violent and ruthless and devious.all the other wives, her older sisters reign, and at 15, still no stable ground underfoot. She watched and learned. What to do and not what to do. The young naïve Catherine Howard so foolish. Not up for the game. And this may have been one of the first times she did what she had to do, just as her mother would do as she had to do, but she could not afford losing the little capital she had on this mistake. “Yes go to brother; he’ll protect my reputation. Otherwise they’ll say I’m just like my mother.” Her mothers reputation having been in tatters for years.

@@pbohearn+ The circumstances of their affair is rather sketchy. Some say it wasn't consensual, but even if it was, Thomas should have known better than to put the virginity of a biological princess in jeopardy. I think that's why Edward executed him, though it's hard to tell, considering he would only have been eleven or twelve. Regardless of whether it was consensual or not, it's clear that the adult Elizabeth was deeply ashamed of her teenage actions, and it was probably just a hormonal fling that didn't go too far. Either way, Thomas shouldn't have manipulated or indulged her. He was essentially taking advantage, though we'll never know which one of the two was more in the wrong.

But he was after power. Elzabeth I was the most smartest female ruler you can imagine. As of politics I would say she is number 1 , followed by Catherine de Meddici.( at the time dead rules not incl ) Maria Stuart was the weakest and not fit for being a Queen. Catherine Howard , was a loose girl before she even married Henry VIII. They lied to him. It was well known .Having sex before being married is already a no go. But being dumb enough having sex while being married to a King...she was not only loose she was also not smart .

I found this very interesting. When Anne Boleyn must have known that her days were numbered, she tried to ensure that her daughter was protected. How ironic this is taking into account Anne took utter delight in inflicting cruelty and humiliation on Mary, daughter of Catherine of Aragon. If Anne had spoken to Henry before her execution, it would have been to plead with him for her life and allow her to retire to a nunnery, not to antagonize him by saying her daughter would become queen (she could not have predicted this). To say that Anne Boleyn was not disappointed that Elizabeth was not a son is innacurate. After all, that was the reason Henry divorced Catherine and broke with Rome. The disappointment of Henry and Anne was recorded by Eustace Chapuys, the Spanish Abassador. The concept that men and women are equals and sexism is wrong is fairly recent. Indeed, when Diana was pregnant, the country was largely hoping the child was going to be a boy. I remember the crowds of flag wavers singing 'its a boy, it's a boy, it's a boy'. The rule on males inheriting the English throne and taking president over females has only recently changed. In many aristocratic families, including the Spencers, males still take presedence over females regarding inheriting the family stately home and titles. The reasoning behind the necessity for a male heir was that when a woman married, her husband was the head of the household and she was expected to obey him. If she could not be the head of the household how could she be the head of the country was the logic used. When Elizabeth became queen she got round this by claiming to be a virgin and using the prospect of marriage as a political tool with foreign suitors. In private Lord Robert Dudley was probably her lover. She may well have had other lovers. Elizabeth would not have wanted to advertise the fact that she was the daughter of Anne Boleyn because the English people had hated Anne and had loved Catherine of Aragon. I think Anne and Elizabeth were very similar in personality. Both were ruthless and cruel, both were bad tempered and highly strung and women did not warm to them. At aged 15 Catherine Parr caught Elizabeth in an embrace with her husband Thomas Seymour and Elizabeth left their home. Very much her mother's daughter. Mary I tried to rehabilitate her mother as she had gone against her father, his divorcing her mother and his break with Rome. Early on in her life Elizabeth had alligned herself with her father - had she tried to rehabilitate her mother publicly, then this would be saying her father was wrong in having her mother executed. It is ironic that Anne Boleyn was instrumental in building the machinery that got rid of Catherine. She did not forsee that one day she would find herself in the same position as Catherine and the same machinery would turn on her. Anne Boleyn was probably innocent of adultery, convicted and executed unjustly. Her real 'crime' was failing to provide Henry with a male heir. In those days justice didn't really matter. If a king or queen had to get rid of someone they did it. In the same way Elizabeth got rid of Mary Queen of Scots. Mary had been under house arrest for 20 years. Elizabeth was persuaded that Mary would always pose a threat as long as she lived so a trap was set. Her living conditions were made so unbearable that she became involved in a plot to overthrow Elizabeth, which was intercepted. Ironically Elizabeth had once been in the same position as Mary Queen of Scots when her half sister Mary I was on the throne. Mary knew that Elizabeth had plotted against her but she was unable to prove it. Mary did not have Elizabeth executed even though she knew that Elizabeth would turn the country back to the protestant religion. As Elizabeth had been in the same position as Mary Queen of Scots she knew every trick in the book and used it against Mary, who was far less politically astute having led a somewhat sheltered life.
