The question is why Lady Rochford help Catherine. I always wondered that too, but given that Henry was very older than in terrible shape, and his only legitimate son wasn't the healthiest I guess if she saw it said is Catherine Howard had a child but it could be pissed off as Henry and could be the Future King and then she would be not only in good with the queen mother but she almost could blackmail her she'd have a secret on her. If that was the plan it could have worked

She felt for Catherine Howard because she knew what it was to have a husband who only loved you (or was at least kind to you) when you were useful to him. I believe George loved another but used janes feelings for him to aid the boleyns, she also was the sister in law of Henry 8th so probably understood the attraction between culpeper and Catherine may be Catherine's only chance to conceive and cement her rule as Queen , allowing jane to rise with her. Not sure whether she was wise or foolish but certainly unlucky. Would lobe to find out about her and George's relationship.

What I still can't understand is why Jane Rochford knowing what happened to her husband and Anne Boleyn helped facilitate Catherine's and Culpeper's rendevous. Surely she would've learnt her lesson. Alas she didn't. She played the game and lost her life.

I am beginning to think history isn't kind to Jane & she probably wasn't as Involved in sending AB & GB to their deaths, she sent him food at the tower & he thanked his wife ( wasn't in person) I think at her age & living in a viper pit since 15 she felt a kinship to Catherine H & folly was her downfall. I do think her infamy should be kept getting looked into,, I mean history has her more of a characachour ( bad spelling) than a real person who had feelings & reasons

She was an extreme narcissist pure and simple. Maybe she did it to get back at Henry viii by using the naive Katherine Howard coz she felt shortchanged not receiving the rewards that were owed to her or she just believed that she was above it all rules, norms etc.

Jane Bolyen was very much a victim of the times that she lived in. Henry Tudor became a very selfish and cruel tyrant, partly because of his powers, and partly because of his head injury caused by a serious fall from his horse during a jousting match. Those who worked for him either were treated well, or in equal measure, treated very badly resulting in much suffering and mental illness. I think the people of England sighed a breath of relief when he died.

I totally see your points and I agree with the notion that Henry’s injury and total power made him a tyrant in his final decade. However, I don’t see Jane Boleyn as only a victim. She certainly overreached herself throughout the course of her tenure as lady in waiting. Also, assisting CH in adultery was a terribly unintelligent move. She literally saw what happened to AB and her own husband from only rumor. She must’ve known she was putting herself in great danger.

Another brilliant video Jon. Great work as always

I just found your channel and had to subscribe. I absolutely love history & Tudor history is a particular favorite. How sad it is that for the most part any details about women, even very important women and the roles they played in society, are lost to time because during that time period women weren’t considered to be important enough to detail specifics about their lives. Every once in a while we’ll have diaries chronicling the every day life of women come to light, but that’s the exception rather than the rule. Very well put together video with the scant information actually known about Viscountess Jane Rochford. I look forward to seeing more videos from this channel.

And then there is the theory that Cromwell was letting her stay on as a lady in waiting so she could act as a spy for Cromwell. She might have felt that she needed to keep in Catherine’s good graces or else be destined for a life of poverty.

Very interesting and thank you very much. Catherine Howard and Anne Boleyn were first cousins though, and not really distantly related. Catherine's father and Anne's mother were siblings.

Another interesting and informative video - thank you. I feel that Jane Rockford was a woman of her time, in that it was always men who held power and she did whatever was needed to ensure her continued status within court and general society, even though it looks appalling to us so many years later. Sadly, her time “ran out” and ended with her execution. But I really believe she tried to ensure that all the scandals which had previously surrounded her, prior to Catherine Howard, did not lead people to believe she was culpable or involved. But a very interesting woman, of whom we really should know more.

I have no idea what Jane Rochford is like, but I do know that her statement over Anne Boleyn and George Boleyn had returned to haunt her. Jane had no choice over Katherine Howard's affair and orders, but Katherine Howard was the queen, and you can't just disobey a queen. But on one hand, maybe she became petty and jealous again that Katherine Howard got what Anne Boleyn had gotten. So, I would say that Jane had overplayed her part too much and that is why she got caught in the game and lost.

She wouldn't play Henry's games

Women had no say at all

Hi all. I have watched all the boleyn episodes and I wondered, It appears like the Boleyn family were becoming quite a powerful family. Could it be possible that king Henry 8th perhaps grew "tired" of the boleyn family and their strive for power and court dealings.and decided to 'remove" their strength and blood line through these "be-headings".as the boleyns had grown too powerful and that would be see as a threat to his kingship and himself. perhaps a warning to other nobel family's striving for power too ?. 🤔

Charles Brandon and the Suke of Norfolk were the ultimate survivors. Imo Charles Brandon was a cad.

I think she facilitated the Culpeper affair to get a baby on Kitty. If Henry was in the physical condition that he was allegedly in during his time married to Kitty, he probably couldn’t get her pregnant. But if Katherine conceived and it was a boy, she would be firmly cemented as wife to Henry. A baby boy would be the only thing that kept Katharine safe

WHO IS THE ARTIST OMG!?!?!?!

Pretty interesting woman I feel bad for her though in my opinion I believe she didn't betray George and Anne, nobody can say no to Henry's will what he wants he gets whatever means possible. One example is mentioned in this video when he manipulated the legal system to have Jane executed despite being declared insane. Truly crazy times anyway Jon nice presentation.
