Published 2023-03-05
Suzannah explores Anne’s childhood home, beautiful Hever Castle, to discover what made her - what formed her into the extraordinary woman who would change the course of history.
With special access to a remarkable new exhibition at Hever, Suzannah joins the curatorial team to handle and analyse the original evidence relating to Anne’s upbringing and the shaping of her character, including a significant illuminated book of hours complete with Anne’s personal signature and a newly re-examined original painting, reattributed as being of Catherine of Aragon, Henry’s queen when Anne arrived at court.

I could listen to Dr. Susannah Lipscomb all the time! She is not only a great historian, but she has a way of setting the scene-you become immersed in the story!
-
Dr. Susannah Lipscomb is like the David Attenborough of historians. ❤

I can listen to Suzie Lipscomb for days. She has this soothing yet not boring voice which suits really well to inform <3

I had never researched Anne Boleyn's background. Here Prof. Suzannah Lipscomb presents it all quite nicely from the beginning of Anne's life. Now I can fully appreciate Anne Boleyn from a better perspective. We typically meet Anne when she joins Henry's court, not knowing anything about her other then having been at court in France. That is like picking up a story in the middle instead of the beginning, which does her a disservice. Excellent video!

whenever I see Suzannah is the host of something, I suddenly find myself particularly interested in that bit of history I wonder why that happens
-
I believe Elizabeth I remained unwed purposely to end the Tudor line as revenge for her father beheading her mother. Henry VII was obsessed with ensuring the Tudor succession and made sure young Henry followed suit. She was the greatest of the Tudor monarchs and she made sure it ended with her.

“If you play the Game of Thrones, you win or you die….” - Anne Boleyn, probably

I’ve visited Hever I was surprised by how small it was nice place though well worth a visit .I love this historian so knowledgeable and likeable.

The dynamic duo is back! These two are absolutely smashing together. I could listen and watch either of them for hours on end. Thank you for posting this for free; I am a paid subscriber of History Hit but this is a delight for those who aren't.

Fascinating. I didnt want this to end. So much additional information about Anne. She was ahead of her time.

Like any British person could ever say no to Henry, She needed to say no tempered with maybe to hold him off. Her family could have been ruined and her head removed. The man was a complete tyrant.

Thank you for sharing this fascinating insight into Anne Boleyn's life before she returned to the English court. It's amazing how much we think we know about her, yet there's still so much to uncover. It's really interesting to hear about her childhood home, Hever Castle, and the rise of her ambitious and talented father, Thomas Boleyn. Your passion for history is infectious, and I'm excited to learn more about Anne Boleyn and other historical figures through your videos. Keep up the great work!

Who knew that much personality was in such a short woman. Short girl, unite! And i could listen to Dr. Susannah Lipscomb talk about history all day
-
I love this and the wonderful Dr Lipscomb and as a direct ancestor it is weirdly fascinating. Anne was my 13th grand aunt.
-
That is a really warm and cozy home even though it's a castle. Very interesting.

Forgive me, but I’ve just discovered your beyond fabulous channel thank you so much got your posts. Here in America, I’ve been an A Boleyn fan for decades I love the way you bring this young woman to life.
