March 4 - Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn and Mary Boleyn star in the spectacular Chateau Vert Pageant

A theme of unrequited love, damsels in distress, lavish costumes, a peal of guns, fruit throwing and dancing - the ingredients of the lavish entertainment put on for the royal court on this day in 1522. And two of the participants were King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn!

In today's "on this day in Tudor history" video, Claire Ridgway, author of several history books and founder of the Tudor Society, shares an account of the spectacular Château Vert pageant performed at York Place (Whitehall Palace) on 4th March 1522 as part of the Shrovetide entertainment.
