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

[@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

[@okpeace4687]

Poor Anne and Elizabeth both lost each other so young

[@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]

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

[@cheranschick]

This statement makes the logical sense ❤

[@kelrogers8480]

Her mother was executed when she was 3 yrs old. Wtf are you talking about?!

[@Norfolkgal22]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@kelrogers8480It does make sense. Why couldn’t Elizabeth have visited The Chapel Royal of St Peter ad Vincula as an adult, during the reign of Mary I… It wasn’t a secret her mother and other executed individuals were buried there.

@khusbur1403 I'm well aware of that, thank you.

She clearly did have an emotional tie with her mother, keeping the ring close to her. She didn't need to move the body, or visit, she kept Anne in her heart ♥️

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.

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.

[@kimcripps4139]

£27 was a lot of money in those days.

[@debbralehrman5957]

So sad😔🌹

[@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.

[@cassandrarose2108]

The Scottish lords would've kept Mary from her son, not Queen Elizabeth.

[@ProudKansan08]

I already know the answer to the question is no but I want to watch anyway.

[@angelanorthcutt4339]

[@ajourney50]

Elizabeth probably prayed in the chapel where her mother is buried, when Mary had her imprisoned in the Tower.

[@angelanorthcutt4339]

I wonder if she knew? At that time sounds like a cold thing to tell someone before locking them up. But she probably already knew.

[@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.

[@AnthonyCiconte75]

Queen Mary should be re-buried next to her Mother Queen Catherine of Aragon

[@cynthialewis7460]

For the bones sake, she could be buried next to her mother, but she’s already with her mother now and making up for all the time they lost. What’s in the grave is just the bones.

[@kellyreish]

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?

[@jeffwarren6906]

They were so steeped in tradition & protocol that visiting her mothers grave could of been seen as a challenge to the history of the crown ? When you are Queen , you shouldn't need to worry about something so trivial as visiting your mothers resting place , that is pathetic , period , full stop ... Great information PPpodcast , I truly enjoyed it . I look forward to more content like this ... The narration is stellar , I usually can't follow a British accent well , but I could yours .

Im surprised Elizabeth never had memorials crafted for her siblings. She loved her little brother and thought Mary may had made her life a nightmare, she at least might have understood her wishes

[@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.

[@michellecrocker2485]

@@MEAJJEKL I wanna think that Elizabeth’s stance on them was “ they weren’t the best siblings but they were the ones God gave me”

[@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.

[@mangot589]

She didn’t actually go to Anne’s grave, but I understand she visited the Boleyn family church? Chapel? 🤔 at least once.

[@LisaG442]

I bet she didn’t. She was no fool and wouldn’t associate herself if possible with her “traitorous “ mother. There was also the stink of bastardy about her because of her mother. Elizabeth knew when to cut her losses

[@DavidJohnRedwood]

I have read that as queen, Elizabeth's advisers cautioned her about bringing up / reminding others, of her mother's demise, because it could be politically unwise. There was in fact a coffin but Anne's headless body was shuved in it disrespectfully, skull of course separated. I do not know whether or not Elizabeth I ever visited the grave itself or even were she able, to locate it's exact placement.

[@annewren8845]

Sorry to disagree, but there was not a coffin for Anne Boleyn when she was executed, that’s why she had to be buried in an arrow chest.

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. That's the ultimate betrayal and snub, I've always thought Henry VIII was a crappy guy and husband but at least the king should have provided a coffin for his now executed queen and more importantly the Mother of his Daughter.

[@anthonyford411]

I think you mean 'lack of interest'. not disinterest.

[@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.
