[@lordtj63]

In conjunction to my other posts below on this subject (during my time as a tour guide at Hampton Court), even though Henry made such a scene about Anne of Cleves being an ugly 'old mare', he sure spent a lot of time in her company after their divorce, they played cards together and played musical instruments for each other, recited poetry with one another and discussed religious matters into the small hours, taking long walks in the gardens, exchanging gifts often etc, and then toward the end, gave her a title calling her his " Sacred Sister". For someone who couldnt stand her, he definitely had a lot of respect and admiration for her, always had time to see her and arranged for her to well looked after. So I would like to feel that he had an attack of conscience about his raw treatment of her at the beginning, after all, she was a true blue blooded Princess like Catherine of Aragon.

[@h.calvert3165]

Terry Mastriantonio He could afford to be generous, because she always went along with whatever he wanted. I want a divorce, he said. Right you are, she said. The woman was no dummy. She knew the history of his married life. She realized that she would have a much better life as his ex-wife 'sister' than she would have had in her own brother's court as his actual sister. And so she did. Her own homes, servants, jewels, clothes, a free pass to court whenever she liked, good relations with her former stepchildren - - - she was even the guest of honour at Mary I's coronation. After all, she was a foreign princess discarded as wife by Mary's father, a situation with which Mary was well-acquainted.

[@tracyhodgkins7516]

Anne of Cleves, or Anna to give her her correct name, was given the title of ‘the King’s sister’ as soon as the marriage was annulled. The other thing is that Henry never referred to her as ‘an old mare’, or even ‘the Flanders mare’, that was an 18th century invention. Henry never used the words.

My guess is that she was a typical woman from the Rhineland, much like Heidi Klum, the people from there are direct, honest, carefree and likeable.

@@h.calvert3165 also when he was having other people tortured and beheaded I guess she never uttered a word about that and never tried to persuade him to be kinder to those other people ... ?

A lot of tourist places do this: they name buildings or rooms after some famous person who had a distant link with them. Anne of Cleves OWNED this house, but she probably owned a lot of property elsewhere too. If an old house has a "King's Chamber" it may mean he spent ONE night of his life in it.

Although this house never housed Anne it was great to listen to the guide described various parts of the house and how life was lived at various times of history.

[@crustyoldfart]

A couple of points of information [ to supplement the multiple pieces of information put out by the lady ] : the Weald is I presume Old English and is comparable with the modern German word ' Wald ' meaning forest. She explained the word ' parlour ' as having a French origin which [ I do believe ] she suggested was ' parler '. [ to speak ]. I think it more probable that the root was ' parleur ' - a speaker. It's not a common realization for us today to think of windows as being luxury items. I believe that in Elizabethan times there was a tax on windows, which may account for some windows in old buildings having been bricked over, although this is speculative on my part. This was a very interesting and informative piece built on a veritable tour de force on the part of the lady, who at times seemed to be lecturing to a rather stupid child. As others have remarked, the video shots and subsequent editing were amateurish with their inconsistent lighting and interlaced shots of seemingly random views having no relation to the dialogue. As a former engineer and one interested in wooden ships, I was intrigued by the similarity of the house construction and the ' wooden wall ' ships of bygone eras. Both are characterized by use of both long straight [ and often massive ] timbers with individually chosen curved pieces. In ships the latter are known as ' fashion pieces ' when used in the rounded bows of the ship or ' knees ' when they connect cross beams to the side walls. Another use was in ' futtocks ' used in the ship frames. Such was the abundant choice from the then extensive forest that these curved members had to be and were matched side to side.

[@tintinhickey5869]

I heard Anne of Cleves ended up in Hever Castle after Henry VIII gifted it to her.

[@MissWitchiepoo]

I was expecting to see Anne Of Cleves house but this has nothing to do with her. Why not ask how did the house look when she lived there? like where did she sleep? and is there any of her things here? are the furniture hers? how long did she live here?, did she have Henry on visits? what would she eat? did she live alone? and I could come up with ton of questions and he asked none. So why the heck call the video the house of Anne of Cleves when she isn't even mentioned? And every time the historian began to tell the story of something the camera goes off around the room so you can't see what the heck she is talking about. If you want to know about the things I have mentioned and you don't want to be in a foul mood then don't click on this video.

+Lisa Sullivan My pleasure! Anne of Cleves rarely stayed in this house. It was received as part of her annulment package in 1541. She was said to be a sweet, down to earth, pleasant person and although Henry VIII was fond of her, he didn't find her the least bit attractive and refused to consummate the marriage. After the annulment she remained close to Henry VIII's daughter Elizabeth. Henry VIII also gave Anne a generous monthly allowance and she was said to enjoy spending every penny of it.

[@carmelsileo6520]

She actually made out the best of Henry's wives. Because she stayed on friendly terms with him, she was given, as Shirley Pena noted, a generous allowance, a full staff and several homes. Her only condition was that she couldn't get married, which didn't seem to bother her in the least. She enjoyed her $$$ certainly. She was also very kind and generous to her staff, even leaving them inheritances when she died. Sounds like a lovely (and very smart) lady!

There is a grain of truth in what is being said here.. I was a tour guide at Hampton Court Palace for 6yrs.. and we had to specialise in different parts of history, I choose to major in the Tudor Period. In Tudor times the way women dressed and the way they certainly looked, was nothing like we view attractiveness in todays world. Anne of Cleves was more than likely the most gorgeous of the bunch, and certainly felt out of place there. But she didnt 'conform' to the Tudor view and way of things.. they used to joke that she dressed weirdly (she continued to wear German fashions of the time) and the Tudor court didnt take kindly to that, or her appearance. Tudor 'attractiveness' and beauty was small hands, high foreheads and high hairline, no make up, full or bushy eyebrows, big hips and behind, small breasts etc.. if you had pouting lips and heaving breasts you didnt get a look in, everything that seems opposite to how we view beauty today. There again lets face it, at that time, Henry was hardly a basket of cherries himself (and he knew it), but Anne was no fool, she knew, and played the Royal game perfectly, and as we all know, if you wanted to keep not just your reputation, but also your head, you gave Henry exactly what he wanted! She had a fantastic 'pay off' including Hever Castle (Anne Boleyn's family home), Richmond Palace amongst others, so she did better than all of them. Although she still had a few close calls with the block!

Awesome video but sound keeps cutting down to a whisper. :-(

[@renab2581]

Yes very interesting but would have enjoyed some detailed information on Anne of Cleves who seems to have sadly been forgotten amongst the narrative …

I thought I was going to watch a video about Anne of Cleves house. How did this get so off

[@spinstersuccess6941]

Thank you, this was very educational! Would have been better to show what she was talking about as she was talking… The camera does wander a bit but that’s poor editing.

Anne of Cleves' House is a 15th-century timber-framed Wealden hall house located in East Sussex, England.[1] It formed part of Queen Anne's annulment settlement from King Henry VIII in 1541, although she never visited the property. It was restored by the architect Walter Godfrey. Owned and operated as a museum by the Sussex Archaeological Society under the operating name "Sussex Past", it is home to wide-ranging collections of furniture and artefacts of Sussex interest. These include one of the best exhibitions on wealden iron making including large machinery such as a hammer from Etchingham Forge and cannon boring apparatus together with a collection of iron fire backs.[2] The bedroom and kitchen are furnished to resemble their appearance at the time of Cleves's ownership. The house is open to the public and plays host to functions throughout the year, including parties, weddings and small informal concerts.--Wikipedia. "[A]lthough she never visited the property." Bit o'a cheat on the name then, init, Sussex?

Nice to know that Henry VIII put his ""sister" Anne of Cleves into a really rich and elegant house after their divorce. She spent the rest of her life there and had a pretty good life.

Raizel M Elsewhere here they are saying that she never actually lived here.

[@tamielizabethallaway2413]

What an idiot! She never even visited it let alone lived in it! She was given lots of houses! This one was never her home!

[@Kelly-tj8xv]

Ugh, I can't even finish watching it. How unprofessional - the music is too loud and distracting, so you can't concentrate on what she's saying. PLUS what's worse, is that the cameraman pans across trees, stonework, etc, while you can hear her talking about dresser drawers, and about the kitchen. So you are looking at the outside grass while she describes interesting things in the house. Cameraman doesn't understand what's going on.

Beautiful house. My flat has Victorian features, and I'll make faux beam patterns out of wallpaper, which is supposed to look like wood.

I live in Haverhill in Suffolk and we have a Tudor building called Ann of Cleeves

The museum lady is straight gilf 💥🤘

[@jules2565]

Discussing the beams overhead and the camera is a tight shot of the people speaking. If only there were a way

[@maryh4650]

The camera operator RUINED this not the presenter. What a lovely lady being interviewed.

[@benadams5029]

So, did Anne of Cleves live in that house? And it is very frustrating that the nice lady talks about an object and the camera shows something else, even students do a better editing. Oh and...did Anne of Cleves live in that house?
