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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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!

@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 😃 😊

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.
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. ❤

EXCELLENT as always! And top production
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.

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.

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.

I feel this is a weird twist of fate for me after remembering reading _The Other Boleyn Girl_ at highschool...
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.
This is so sad 😔
As if Henry needed to be ensnared 😂
On the contrary, Thomas Boleyn returned to Court, served dutifully and still held some influence. He even attended Prince Edwards christening

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.

OOOH!! Homegirl is visiting England! You go, Lindsay. It's very well deserved
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.

I have Mary as an ancestor grandmother. She was aunt to Queen Elizabeth 1st.
Who are the monarchs that lived the longest I heard there was a Pharaoh that made it to his 90s.
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
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. Also, we don't know the kids were Henry's kids either. You stated that as fact at the beginning of your video, unless I misheard.

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.
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
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!
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.
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 😮
Ahhh yes another great video thank you my teacher
hello Lindsay
I thought Ann & Mary weren’t close to each other?
Poor Jane Parker her husband died
PHILIPPA GREGORY MENTION🗣‼️‼️ (I know her books aren't historically accurate but I do find them interesting)
Lindsay are those actual photos of the boylen siblings

They both are from what I remember. The only thing about George and Anne’s portraits is that the majority of their pictures were destroyed after their executions so we cannot be completely sure if they are a perfect recreation.

Interesting
I think he chose Anne because Mary had had children to him and thought that Anne would do the same
