Love this.. Could listen to Alison Weir all day.. I like hearing about Anne Of Cleves because its always the other wives.. Nice to hear about Anne.. brilliant podcast x
What a wonderful interview….I just finished ALL of the 6 Wives and the one she wrote on Henry‼️ ALL were so intriguing and I look forward to reading more by Alison‼️‼️
So was Henry actually claiming that Anne had given birth? Not just that she wasn't a virgin? Because losing her virginity would not affect her figure in any way unless she became pregnant.
Some women do. I did. Hormones intensify when you're sexually active. I had a more womanly and less athletic figure. I was 95 pounds prior. Lol then went up to around 115 after my marriage. However, Henry wouldn't know that. As he never met her previously.
@@ashleyleonard8148 The problem was that Henry had once been married Anne Boleyn , n the most fashionable, sophisticated woman at court. Anne Cleves had no sense of style, ability to play cards, talent for music, or make interesting conversation. He probably considered it a comedown to be married to a woman without glamor or wit.
Alison is the best. I wish she would write a book about Dante. Shakespeare got the Romeo and Giuliet story from Dante. Imo Henry didn't think it through. The German countries had a different culture from England, France and Spain.

Great content. Thank you

How refreshing to hear Alison’s take on Anne Boleyn and her over-glorification.
28:30 heather, why do you not want to ask Alison whether or not Anne was a lesbian?
Nope! Really "stretching " you're talking about Henry here. I would believe anyone else before that narcissistic bully
Annoying that voice from a distance!
