I have always felt Anne was so clever and brave. She was used as a pawn by her family. Anne deserved a better life 😔

I’m so happy I found this video. In all my readings I have never known about these priceless items, personal treasures, that belonged to Anne Boleyn. That clock and whistle are stunning. Thank you so much for posting this!

The very young Anne tried to do the right thing and was thrilled by the idea of the English queen taking the time to talk to her when she came to the English court. She had no idea then she would become the object of obsession by that queen's husband. It was a tragedy for both

I'm drawn to her, the energy is breath taking..

[ravynnsnest]

I wish I could go back in time and save her life

I love hearing about her life before evil H8. She was full of promise and so intelligent. Thank you Dr. Emmerson for sharing these remaining treasures of a woman who was viciously murdered by her husband.

I love Anne Boleyn very much. I keep on searching her videos and stories.

It’s interesting to see the pro-and con-Anne comments below. Anne, being human, was not perfect, but was certainly interesting. A friend of mine recently said that she was of “no importance” historically, but I completely disagree!

I’ve been obsessed with her since I was 13 years old when I saw Anne of a Thousand Days. She certainly was exceptional!

This is an absolutely fantastic video. Thank you! Although I was aware of the existence of some of these items, there were many here that I was not. The embroidered bed valances and coif were a couple and learning that they used ear wax for embroidery is weirdly interesting 🤔 (eeewwww!!). I really enjoy these videos you put up on Hever Castle and Anne. Although I would love to visit Hever some day, it is probably unlikely and videos like these make it possible to experience Hever from afar.

Thank you for this informative yet passionate video about the Tudor Queen who still fascinates so many!
Can't wait to visit Hever Castle next month!

Great video!! Will have to go see some of these artifacts that I haven't seen yet someday! I was so thrilled to be able to visit and stay at Hever Castle earlier this year and see the 2 books of hours... would love to see the 3rd, with Henry's inscription in it too!
