Henry VIII & Anne Boleyn's Passionate Love Affair

Video Description

The love story of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn changed England forever. This documentary explores their passionate, seven-year courtship that led a king to defy the Pope. Historian Dr. Suzannah Lipscomb uncovers the real people behind the myths, revealing a young, handsome, and charismatic Henry VIII tormented by his failure to produce a male heir, and a sophisticated, pious, and ambitious Anne Boleyn, freshly returned from the courts of Europe. Following in their footsteps from Anne’s childhood home at Hever Castle to the corridors of Hampton Court, Dr. Lipscomb examines the intimate love letters and treasured personal possessions that have survived for 500 years. This is the story of how a king's obsession and a powerful love affair led to the English Reformation, the creation of a new church, and the crowning of a new Queen. 0:00 The Rise of Anne Boleyn 1:58 Who Was the Real Anne Boleyn? 6:43 The Young and Charismatic Henry VIII 11:53 A French Education: Forging a Queen 22:38 The Secret Love Letters of a King 30:45 Defying The Pope: The King's "Great Matter" From Suzannah Lipzkomb's Henry and Anne, Episode 1 Best History Documentaries is part of The Little Dot Studios Network.
