Fascinating and well done.. Gareth, as usual, does an excellent job !
Thanks Jean. This really was a fascinating talk about such an amazing family. I hope you’ll make our live chat later in the month where you can ask questions direct to Gareth.
There is an echo of the talk starting from the section on Annalesa. It is very distracting. Is there any way to fix this? It seems to be short, but annoying.
Hi – THanks for pointing that out. I’ve found the issue and am re-making the video… it’ll take a while to rebuild the whole video and then re-upload it… but well worth doing! Thank you for pointing it out!
Fascinating information. Thank you for your scholarship.
The echo sound mentioned by Paulla has now been fixed.
Thanks. That was very informative and interesting.
Looking forward to chatting with Gareth again. I must admit I have a soft spot for him.
Me too, he’s lovely!
If that half-hour chat is anything to go by, the book must be a cracker! Really enjoyed listening about the ‘roots’ from which the Norfolk’s grew. AND l must say his command of the English language and his discriptions are great…not to mention his speaking voice… hahaha. In fact can you send him round to mine to read his book to me 😊
“Young and Damned and Fair” is excellent, I highly recommend it. Ha, I’m sure he won’t mind a trip to Scotland!!
Thank you for your excellent talk. I’ve always been interested in Anne Boleyn and her family.
