Did Queen Elizabeth I Ever Visit Anne Boleyn’s Grave?

[@okpeace4687]

Poor Anne and Elizabeth both lost each other so young

[@paulacapps]

I hope she did visit. What a horrible thing for a young girl to lose her mama, treated so badly

[@ritagillam6401]

I hope she did visit, but it's not surprising if she didn't, she barely remembered her

[@angelanorthcutt4339]

I have always been so intrigued by Anne Boleyn must be why I watch almost all the videos about her regardless. I love Claire Ridgeway and have all her books on the tudors fascinating.

[@cherrytraveller5915]

I like her as well. She never embellishes the facts about what happened or try to rewrite history like a lot of authors have done. She also doesn't favour a certain royal so she doesn't spin facts to make that one royal seem better than they are.

[@Only_In_America_SY]

Elizabeth showed much favor to all her mothers side of relatives. Mary Boelyn’s sons, and daughter. She loved her mother’s side of the family very much which proved exactly how she felt about her mother. She may have never spoken loud about her to many people, but her actions showed just how she felt. She even wore the famous “B” necklace.

[@renatatarnawski5974]

Of course she didn't love her dad's side. He was infinitely cruel 2 both his daughters He played Mind Games with Both. Her 1/2 Brother was just like Dear Ole Dad. He WOULD have turned out your Be Just Like him in his 20's!

[@cherrytraveller5915]

She was held in the tower for several months so there is a chance she visited her mother there. Anne was at peace. Mary didn’t move her mother either

Annes rich clothing was returned to the king, The executioner was paid a purse of 27 pounds. Normally the condemned had their clothing and other good given to the officers of the tower, but because of the clothing laws they were not allowed to have or wear the rich fabrics or royalty or the aristocracy. All the rich clothes went to the king. They would be cleaned and remade and given to some worthy person at court, or they would be kept and stored away.

No Anne did it as well. There is very good description of the dress in all first hand accounts of people who were there at the time. Mary Queen of Scots did it as well but she wasn't the only one to do it.

That painting of Edward looks so much like Henry, and shares with Elizabeth, as well, especially the eyes.

[@ray101892]

She was too young to ever have a personal connection with Anne when she was executed so I think she honored her as a mom in general but when her name came up in issues and discussions, she would be uncomfortable in saying/contributing anything and would stay quiet because of her lack of an emotional connection. I bet she would have felt the irony when she imprisoned Mary queen of scots and prevented her from ever associating with King James in exchange for the throne.

[@laskmj24]

Losing a parent at any age is traumatic and devastating for any child but Elizabeth may have been “lucky” in a way to have been spared this trauma. She was only 3 years old when her mother was executed and being a royal Princess it’s likely she didn’t see her mother often enough to really form any memories or attachment to her.

There's also information out there that says that Anne Boleyn was actually moved to Blickling Hall, as that is the Boleyn family's burial place. I don't think there is a 100% agreement on if those remains are actually Ann's in St Peter Ad Vincula

[@BevHoward-ne9xr]

Isn't that in salle in Norfolk?

[@cherrytraveller5915]

Blickling Hall doesn't even have a church. Also there isn't anything to say that isn't Anne. The description matches. It describes the slender neck that she joked about with the constable of the tower. The height of 5 foot 4 is about right. It even describes her slender long fingers which her daughter Elizabeth also had and had gotten from her mother. I think it is safe to say the bones were Anne. The only bones missing was that of Katherine Howard but then they found lime in the place she was buried. Anne was exactly where they said she was. It is only modern authors who are now trying to argue that it couldn't possibly be her

[@MEAJJEKL]

Emotional bonds can be complicated and rife with what seems lile contradictions. I'm sure she loved them, but her brother disinherited her and Mary. That decision ultimately cost Jane Grey, their cousin, her life. Mary had Elizabeth locked up in the tower and released her on the anniversary of her mother's execution. Her siblings got the memorials due to them as monarchs, not as good siblongs lol.

[@MEAJJEKL]

@michellecrocker2485 I think you're right. She comes from a complicated family but surely must have loved them. Perhaps she didn't bring up the issue of commemorating them publicly because it could have forced her to address traumas she'd rather keep private. She was a precocious woman who did not speak on how she felt about her personal matters.

[@cherrytraveller5915]

Edward memorial was down to Mary not Elizabeth. By the time Elizabeth came to the throne there was no money for anything. Even Elizabeth with her wish to be buried with her grandparents had her wish ignored. She was with them for a time but was ultimately moved in with Mary.

[@happyyuk]

At first I thought the video was about whether Queen Elizabeth II had visited Anne's grave before she passed away, not sure how my brain worked. I don't think it really matters whether Elizabeth I visited her mother's grave or not, not that I am being cold. Having her mother forcefully taken away from her at a young age and not allowed to speak about her ever again when her father was alive, the young Elizabeth must have developed some ways to commemorate her mother in secret and she must have been missing her mother's presence since she was executed. Therefore, whether she visited her mother's grave or not does not constitute an answer to the question whether or not she showed respect to her late mother when she was alive.

We shall never know

[@ajkleipass]

With modern DNA testing, it would be potentially easy to identify the remains. As for whether it should be done, probably not. Royal graves are scattered around the country. One chapel is no greater or lesser than the next. And in this modern era, there seems little desire to elevate royal graves into tourism destinations. That said, imagine a new chapel at Windsor Castle with the graves of every monarch and their families in one location.

[@cherrytraveller5915]

It can't be done now anyway. When they completed the dig at the tower church they covered over the now lead lined coffins with thick layers of concrete. This was to prevent a reoccurrence of what had forced them to do the dig in the first place. It wasn't a little layer of concrete either. It was a thick layer. As for Windsor Castle that isn't a big church either which is why they extended into Frogmore

[@livingincaptivityIII]

This is why funeral pyres should have been used back then. And today. Cemeteries are a waste of arable land.

I can't believe that no instructions were given as to Anne's burial and that no coffin was provided, NOT even a simple wooden one.
