Every year on the eve of the 19th of May, the air at Blickling Hall, Norwich, goes ice cold. In a centuries-old tale, on this night, the spectre of Anne Boleyn makes contact with our earthly realm.
The story goes that as the night falls on the anniversary of the ill-fated Queen’s death, you can spot her ghost riding up to Blickling Hall in a coach driven by a headless horseman.
Anne is seen, dressed in pure white, slowly being drenched in blood from holding her screaming decapitated head in her lap.
As the phantom horses gallop towards the great hall, suddenly, they disappear into thin air.
This gruesome story is one of many that have persisted since the execution of the Tudor queen. Her restless spirit has earned the title of the most travelled ghost in England, a country notorious for centuries of horrible history and haunted locations.
Blickling Hall, where Anne is believed to of been born, is just one of many significant sites that have become paranormal hot spots- even close to 500 years on.

Why do I keep watching Anne Bolelyn docs somehow expecting new information?

[@nuthinmuffins5073]

Try Claire Ridgway’s channel: The Anne Boleyn Files and Tudor Society (she covers the entire Tudor drama, not just Anne). She’s also got a website and has written a book series on Anne Boleyn, which I’m slowly but surely working on. Short of becoming a historian, her content and books are about as thorough in detail as you could hope for. I find her to be a most reliable source, as she dutifully sites her sources, and those sources are many. It’s great that creators with limited resources and experience can make polished videos nowadays, but that also means you don’t always know how reliable the source is. Whether from an established source or not, ocumentaries often make statements that are debatable, or even outright false (like in this one where it says Anne was held in Hampton Court instead of the Tower of London). When you consider how they’re often made with the goal of keeping them entertaining so more people will watch, it means that those of us who are looking for more depth and detail, end up with a feeling of “if you’ve watched one, you’ve seen them all”. I personally have experienced the frustration of hearing about some person, place, event, etc. in history that interests me, only to find that there’s very limited information about it on an easily accessible level. Sometimes, if you’re seriously fascinated by a topic, you’ve got to go back to the old methods of research, which can be more work, but if your interest is keen enough, it can be worth the effort. Sorry for the long comment. Guess I’m just passionate about it!

We have a word now for what Henry the 8th was. And that's narcissist. He love bombs them at first, gets tired of them and then gets rid of them in the cruelest way imaginable. The only lucky one was Anne of Cleves.

[@_fawkes]

She was lucky because Henry himself found her "ugly" and the marriage was only arranged for political reasons (at that point Henry had a male heir who would succeed him as far as he knew). He wanted none of her in his life and allowed her a quiet and generous exit.

IF SHE DIDN'T SCREAM AT HER OWN ACTUAL BEHEADING WHY WOULD SHE SCREAM AROUND AS A GHOST?! She was ambitious but no more than any of the other courtiers, she didn't deserve to be accused of all the things she was accused of or to be legally murdered. But in a small way she won, her daughter Elizebeth1 was one of the best and best loved monarchs England ever had. I kind of hope Henry paid for what he did to her. The people only hated her because she had the nerve to take what she could from Henry's obsession, since it had already cost her the love she had before Henry. They called her whore because she was successful, because that is what men call any woman who becomes successful enough to threaten them. She might have survived if she had quietly had Cromwell taken out instead of threatening him. Her worst mistake was in under estimating Cromwell power and value to the King and over estimating her own importance to henry.

[@valkyriesardo278]

Read more, type less. You do not know enough yet. Boleyn was done for mainly because she failed to produce a male heir. That was Henry's true obsession and his duty to his kingdom. A queen was a means to an end, not the primary objective.

[@user-nr9gz5je7y]

Poor Anne Boleyn. The only thing she ever did wrong was fail to give Henry a healthy prince or two. She never cheated or betrayed him. Henry had her executed out of innate cruelty and spite Plus unlike Catherine of Aragon she didn't have a Spanish royal brother or father to go to war with England for if Henry had had Catherine executed. In the end Anne power powerful father and Howard uncle both betrayed her as well as her brother George and washed their hands of her for politics, period. Too,too bad for Anne and her brother. But Anne had given birth to an unwanted daughter who became England's greatest queen, Elizabeth I who led England into a golden age. Who had the last laugh?

If you were so unfortunate to catch the eye of King Henry VIII, you had little choice but to eventually give in or prepare yourself for you and your family to suffer from his wrath, and that could mean you and your family falling out of favor, being stripped of wealth and property & even imprisonment on trumped up charges.

​@MeMe-nw9mq RIGHT? Often time, their male relatives would offer them up as well. Complete dhit show.

[@MeMe-nw9mq]

Yes. Offering up a daughter, a sister, niece, could guarantee the family would find favor, and the family could move up in society, being awarded with vast estates, land, money, etc. Your life could be turned upside down in mere minutes if the King was on a rant or was feeling especially benevolent the day you encountered him. King Henry VIII’s temperament changed drastically after he had the closed head injury while jousting. Most people think that the human skull is smooth on the inside but it is not. There are several little bones that have rough edges and when you experience a CHI and your brain gets jostled around, those small rough edged bones can cause small pinprick hemorrhages to the brain. After sustaining the CHI, his personality changed, he began to experience debilitating migraine headaches, he had terrible mood swings…all indicators of a CHI. I almost feel sorry for the poor man but his cruelty towards his wives stops that notion its tracks. If only Jane Seymour had lived after giving King Henry VIII a son. 2 other women could have been saved from his clutches and I’m so glad that Catherine Parr survived him, even though her life afterwards was less than ideal. She married Thomas Seymour for love but I think all he saw were dollar signs.

[@tracyhodgkins7516]

Anne had a choice. She knew that in denying Henry sex she was encouraging him to pursue her. She was also adamant that she wouldn’t be a mere mistress, as her sister had been. She would settle only for being Henry’s wife. That’s why Henry ripped the country in two when he broke with Rome and the Roman Catholic Church in order to have her. It’s quite wrong and demeaning to Anne, an intelligent, strong woman, to say see her purely as a victim of a system that puts women down. Anne knew what she was doing, but she ultimately gambled and lost.

​@@MarixpozaYou have to put it in context of the social norms at the Tudor court. The King was expected to keep mistresses. Ambitous wealthy aristocratic families actively pimped their daughters to be Royal Mistresses or wives. Women were pawns to make advantageous marriages with other high status families . The Boleyns tried to tempt Henry with Anne's sister Mary first, but the King lost interest quickly. Being a Kings Mistress gave the family power, status, gifts of homes & land & once he was done, the mistress got a good high status marriage to an aristocrat that the King arranged & pre approved .

Yeah Henry's behavior is just too gross wayyyy too gross. He did not fit to be tye king of England if he continue his actions like fore example that just having a male heir.

[@dianekeane7740]

Catherine of Aragon was a perfect wife to Henry, but was brutally discarded by her disloyal, philandering husband. They don't call men whores, more the pity, because that's exactly what he was. Their daughter Mary suffered so much heartache and abuse at the whims of her betraying father, being separated from her mother, stripped from her title, and knowing how her mother suffered at the hands of her self absorbed father. Being a stifling Patriarchy, naturally, all blame for their respective fates fell upon Anne, who dared to have ambition. Subservience and unfailing dedication for her husband only brought Catherine humiliation, sickness and isolation. Anne, in turn, must have suffered horribly through her miscarriages; neither woman was responsible for the loss of Mary and Elizabeth's potential siblings, but blamed they were for not "providing" the great gluton with his precious male heir. As if they wouldn't have moved heaven and earth to bear a son. Henry and his misogynistic partners in crime tried to obliterate Anne's memory and make Catherine disappear into a nunnery. I understand that Henry suffered exponentially as he grew older, with his rotound body and reeking leg ulcer. That makes me glad. I hope he rotted from the inside out right up to the time he gasped his shoddy last breath. Cheers.

Anne wears her French hood incorrectly- it should sit up, not back… almost horizontally as shown here. Have a look at the paintings of the period

The hood was worn in different ways. For a formal occasion it was worn high, like a crown. For an informal occasion it was more lax and worn lower. Still, I don't feel like she would have worn it at all while in confinement or awaiting her death.

[@annieodowd6066]

@@stephaniemabee2830 You're probably right about the variations. It looked weird to me.

What choice do you think you would have had. Your family would have pushed you like the female pawn you were. You might have escaped to a convent, you might have killed yourself, maybe you could have taken a lover quickly at court and lost your reputation, your families respect, your own good name. You would have had no way to make money, you could have disappeared into obscurity perhaps as a seamstress, but you were likely never alone. In short there wasn’t much option for a woman then. If you didn’t flatter and fawn Henry you likely would lose your head be tortured or taken prisoner for life.

Henry’s maneuvering to make Chapuys recognize Anne as queen is better described in another video that is on KZbin. Henry and Anne sat in the royal box in Hampton Court’s chapel while Chapuys sat in the ground-level row of seats. Henry took Anne down the stairs that lead from the royal box to ground level. Chapuys was standing and Henry and Anne had to pass in front of him to get to the altar for communion. Chapuys had to bow to Anne and thereby recognize her status as Henry’s Queen- or else risk an international incident that could lead to war. I didn’t keep the link to this other video, and for the life of me I haven’t been able to find it. If anybody else has seen it, I’d appreciate a link to it.

Many have their beliefs in regard to Anne, but there are no hard proven reasons she was executed. There is no hard evidence of adultery, and she may have been able to produce a male heir in time… time was probably more her enemy, he tired of her, as he likely would have any Queen. She was a victim of very bad timing. It wasn’t just about a male heir, although of course that played a part. He could dominate Jane Seymour & she was younger than Anne … so he decides to rid himself of her. So sad, but the cards they played at court then. Sadly the risk any of them took

[@sarahfowler9385]

Henry 8th loved noone but himself if he loved her that much he wouldn't of believed all the crap he was told he got rid of Ann because she didn't give him a son n had his eye on someone else even Jane Seymour who died giving birth to a son he had already got tired of her but because she gave him a son he praised her but soon moved on to the next wife
