Love your content! Thank you for the Angevines, Xerxes and Leopold II videos, they were awesome!! Don't forget George I and George II! Suggestion: Albert I of Belgium Keep up the good work!
Excellent documentary. I visited the Tower as a kid. It was horrifing, so cold, dark, dank and creepy. Henry sent alot of people to their deaths there. I know he did some good as a King but he put so much fear into people as well.
Maybe your brain has filled in a memory for you, but the tower is absolutely not a cold, dark, dank, creepy place 🤦🏻 the tower of London is basically just a walled village, it has houses and chapels and gardens etc, it isn't some kind of dungeon. It literally doesn't even have a dungeon. Most prisoners held in the tower were nobility and were just kept under house arrest in a very nice room. 😅
@@maggieedwards3951africans were kidnapping slaves and selling them to slave traders. Europeans didnt enslave blacks in any significant numbers. Slavery would still be legal all around the world if it wasnt for the English. So have some fucking respect.
I wish The Tudors series had continued with Mary’s story. The strong young woman playing her was so perfect, it was heart-wrenching to watch what Henry did to her and no one could fault her for losing some of her humanity when she was trained to be a queen and then treated like dirt.
I would also love the Tudors series to continue. I think Edwards reign would be interesting, also to follow other characters ie The Semours, Anne of Cleves, Thomas Tallis etc.
@@dantatadangote4700This is not true! Henry VIII had MANY more people executed. Most accounts state anywhere between 57,000 to 72,000. Mary executed approximately 300. She was given the name Bloody Mary posthumously.
That’s partly true, If Richard the third had won the battle of Bosworth, then English history as we know, it would be completely unrecognizable. Heck, Richard would have restarted the 100 years war.
I used to live in Eltham for 35 years. As a boy I often used to sit in the grounds imagining a young Henry playing in the grounds and Henry the 7th coming to visit his son. Was a great place to visit and have picnics. Especially with the Tudor barn pub and restaurant. Which is the original hunters lodge
Much is talked about how Mary I, Henry's daughter w/ Catherine of Aragon, became known as Bloody Mary for killing 312 people (mostly burning at stake and the rest in prison.) This comes from a book published in 1563. But it's estimated that Henry VIII murdered anywhere from 57,000 to 72,000 people during his reign. And yet, few people even realize this, let alone talk about it, instead just focusing on his six wives or the deeds of Mary I.
@@RuthPeake-gq4vk truth is we don’t know, you don’t know. You only know what people in power said happen and like Tudor serie Henry said paraphrased: «don’t let it be known it was a suicide». Maybe it was natural causes, that still doesn’t mean Sam Neills performance wasn’t epic and a great masterpiece acting and the writers did awesome job writing that monologue. It’s great art.
6:20 Henry VII: Oh, my alliance with Spain... My poor, poor alliance with Spain... A preist- And your son, sire? Henry VII- Oh yes, of course, my son. But mostly, my alliance with Spain... Henry VIII- Hey, pop. Henry VII- Who the heck are yo- OOOOH YEAH!
I find the life of Henry the eighth to be better than any soap opera story that could ever be written… It’s amazing how one man can cause so much pain, death, and change in just one lifetime. While he was selfish and narcissistic, his actions set the wheels in motion to bring about the protestant faith throughout England and thus, the Americas eventually.
Thank you for a wonderful documentary. I have been a student of Tudor history for about 50 years. This docu video is a high quality addition to the historical material. Do more .Thank you.
He was a child of his upbringing. Spoiled and pampered, he grew up feeling that he was the supreme being. He could have whatever he wanted. If not he threw them away. In the modern era he wouldn’t have lasted very long. He would have been assassinated by a disgruntled parent.
While Henry VIII is still famous, or infamous, I knew nothing of Charles V and was prompted to look him up when I saw that he became Holy Roman Emperor at age 19. He was far more than just HRE. He seems to have had much greater influence over a wider swath of the world than Henry ever had.
What a beast! Watch the dvd “Wolf Hall”-a glorious depiction of the early years with Anne Boleyn. Starring Damian Lewis, Claire Foy and the brilliant Mark Rylance!❤
Boleyn's mistake was overestimating the power she had over Henry and underestimating the intelligence, cunning, and viciousness of Henry's advisors and of her various enemies. Henry had her beheaded just four short months after Catherine of Aragon died. Then, to add insult to injury, so many of her enemies were front stage and center for her execution and then afterward Henry allowed her body to lay on the scaffolding for hours because he made no burial arrangements for her. In the end, he truly despised her. Such a sad ending to a short life.
Hit the jackpot with Elizabeth. The Tudor family, after having seized the throne, couldn't produce a male heir. The English people used as pawns by both Father and Son.
The thing I never understood was how come second sons (and all after that) were never taught to be king? Especially knowing how quickly and easily it was for someone to die back then. You'd have thought they would have taken that reality into consideration and trained all boys to become king, just incase.
The need for a heir was paramount. No matter what the cost. But sadly we still saw Mary taking the crown and encouraging the Spanish Inquisition to slaughter so many on British soil. They like to gloss over that fact.
@@Zyzyx442 saw that to those who she persecuted with the penal laws, and of course she ended the religious wars, by killing, arresting and exiling every catholic in England and Ireland.
This is by far my favorite world leader. Yes he was a mess but he ushered in so much change that is still with us today due to his endless quest for loving sons. Anything Tudor based stirs my grits.
not only the divorced beheaded died thing beeing a pattern, he also married 3 different Katherines (tho they all spelled diffrently) and 2 Annes, almost as if to mock/match the "kings back then all had the same name"
Henry VIII was not only one of the worst monarchs in British history; he was a calamity, an itinerant disaster whose only true contribution was the chaos he left in his wake. Celebrated for generations as a "great" king, Henrique doesn't deserve a shred of this adulation. His selfish obsession with a male heir dragged England into an abyss of economic ruin, social instability and excessive brutality. Your legacy? An impoverished, weakened, divided, and ruled by fear and tyranny country. Let's go to the facts. The much celebrated break with the Catholic Church, which many insist on painting as a movement of political and religious boldness, was nothing more than a petty whim of a monarch who wanted to get rid of a wife who no longer served him. Henry did not break with Rome out of deep convictions; he did so out of pure stubbornness and to satisfy his own lascivious desire. And who paid the price? The English people. The dismantling of the monasteries was nothing more than an institutionalized robbery, a looting of religious institutions that devastated the country's social assistance network, throwing thousands into misery. The break with Catholicism did not bring the progress that many associate with Protestantism; it brought confusion and destruction, something that his successor, Edward VI, had to fix. Even Mary I, known as Bloody Mary, almost completely undoes the damage that Henry did. Only with Isabel I was there a real attempt to rebuild what he ruined. Your military failures are equally pathetic. Henry saw himself as a new Henry V, dreaming of glorious conquests in France. What did he get? One fiasco after another. The temporary capture of Boulogne is presented as a great achievement, but the reality is that it was a colossal waste of human resources and lives, only to be returned to France in a few years. Meanwhile, he threw the country into a state of bankruptcy. Henry inherited a prosperous kingdom from his father, but handed it over in ruins. His military campaigns were vain and purposeless, a desperate attempt to prove himself on the battlefield, but that only drained the state's coffers and left the people hungry and revolted. But perhaps the most revolting aspect of his reign is his domestic tyranny. His six wives are not just a historical anecdote or a subject of morbid curiosity; they are a reflection of the king's emotional instability and personal cruelty. Catherine of Aragon, a woman he initially praised, was abandoned and humiliated. Anne Boleyn, after not being able to give him the son he wanted so much, was falsely accused of treason and taken to death. Henrique was unable to take any responsibility for his own failures. His response to any challenge, whether political, religious or personal, was always the same: brutal violence and repression. Executing ministers, such as Thomas More and Thomas Cromwell, or massacring thousands in the northern uprising, the Pilgrimage of Grace, was the modus operandi of a monarch who ruled through terror, not wisdom. And what about its lasting impact? What did Henry really leave for England? A country on the verge of religious civil war, an economy in tatters and a reign marked by tyranny. What he couldn't conclude, the chaos he started, his successors had to patch. Any glory attributed to Henry should be seen as a colossal deception. He was a monarch who, instead of building, destroyed. Instead of uniting, he divided. Instead of guiding England into an era of prosperity, he threw it into chaos. In short: Henry VIII does not deserve the status of great king. He was a despot, a man driven by selfish interests, whose thirst for power and personal satisfaction harmed England for generations. History treats him with a reverence that is completely undeserved. No wonder that, centuries later, we still try to repair the damage he caused. His reign was not only a mistake, it was a monumental tragedy for the English people and the monarchy. **
Sure seems like the Catholic Church could have saved itself from decades of grief if it had just given Henry the annulment he wanted instead of bending to the desires of Spain
Thank you for the documentary! I like these historical videos, and I'm very grateful to everyone who makes them. But... Please consider to skip this kind of "music", it's annoying.
I have more sympathy for Henry than I did before watching this documentary. The accident he had was devastating for him. Both physically and psychologically. This does excuse his tyrannical behaviour, but for me, it certainly explains it.
It's never a good thing when there is a portion of your nation's history referred to as "The Anarchy", and he was a man of his time trying to do the right thing. Add to that a probable concussion, and possibly a more drastic head trauma, and non-stop pain and there is little wonder that he went the way he did. Imagine all you want of how it could have been the start of a Golden Age, setting Elizabeth up for success even younger in life, but all that adversity did make her the strong monarch that she was. Oh, to be a fly on the wall during this time.
And I don't care what anyone says this guy was a psychopath. He wanted to rewrite the Bible he killed all of his wives and he must have just felt like he was god. It's ridiculous how much power they gave one man
Everything his family did to get the throne down the drain all because of his obsession with having a son. The only good thing that came out of his obsession was Elizabeth i.
Edward VI, Henry VIII's son and heir, was also by many accounts a competent King, although there was speculation that, had he lived (and therefore reigned) longer, his militant Protestantism would've seen anti-Catholic persecution in England to an equal, or worse, extent than the contrary repression that later made his half-sister Mary's subsequent reign so infamous. Unfortunately we'll never know, with his death at such a young age due to TB. Something with which we may agree on however, is the rather unfair stance Edward VI had towards his half-sister Elizabeth on the matter of his succession; she had a much stronger claim to the throne following his death than Lady Jane Grey (the poor girl certainly didn't deserve the cruel execution and attainder she received).
Catherine Howard was executed on 13/02/1542,Thoas Culpeper and Francis Dereham were both executed on 10/12/1941.Aparenttly she could have seen their headson the London Bridge on her way to the Tower.
He was no great leader they will always gloss over history that what historians tend to do ,only his abolition to split the church was his only notable thing 😂
Oh dear. I do love your videos, but please check the facts before posting. Anne Boleyn DID attend her trial and she was executed on 19th May 1536...not 31st. It was Katherine Howard who didn't attend a trial, as she had an act of attainder against her. Otherwise... It's an enjoyable video.
To be catholic means (according to all ecclesiastical rules) to be in communion with the Pope. If the tyrannical king wanted to keep the Latin rite is one, but he wanted to rule his own church, splitting from the Catholic Church, just to fulfill his ego... So, please, be precise in your terms you use and don't do basic mistakes. Thank you!

Society radically pagan, full of rebellious people who attack own authorities. English society is fallen entirely, there is only one option for English society ~ REEWANGELISATION.
Strange that the modern "Spare Henry/Harry" is just as a brat as Henry the VIII! If only Arthur had not died then, six women's lives would have been so different and hopefully William is spared for many years so that Meganomaniac and her toddler Harry can't get their dirty little hands on the throne. Just saying....
King Henry VIII has had so many biographies, documentaries, and movies done about him that it is getting excessive. It's like the JFK assassination, enough already! Try a biography of someone else less well known.

An egomaniac
Henry was a victim of the expectations and ideology during his lifetime . As so were those victimized by him.
Anne boylen died on the 19th of may not 31st of may
Never trust a man named Adolph. Or Henry. Or a woman named Edna.
Father of Queen Elizabeth the first
Henry was a total psychopath!

I pay for ad-free UA-cam content. Kind of offended by your Harry's shave kit advertisement
Oh no!! that must have been a painfull 90 seconds. Hope you survived it OK.
Good for you but these videos arent free to make so obviously he needs a sponsorship of sorts. Not a smart one are you
Consequences his sins are widely visible in today's society. Anglican church are almost empty similar things happened to the Catholic Church as well. Closed down churches or transformed in pubs. Society radically pagan, full of rebellious people who attack own authorities. English society is fallen entirely, there is only one option for English society ~ REEWANGELISATION.
Sooooooo sick of the Kamala the hyena ads. I'm getting really close to uninstalling this app. I'll just go back to good old fashioned READING A BOOK.
Strange that the modern "Spare Henry/Harry" is just as a brat as Henry the VIII! If only Arthur had not died then, six women's lives would have been so different and hopefully William is spared for many years so that Meganomaniac and her toddler Harry can't get their dirty little hands on the throne. Just saying....
I love King h 26:36
"The poet John Skelton* educated Henry in his moral duties"...well that went well didn't !!! 😳🥴🥹
HOLY SHIT .. HE KILLED ALL HIS WIFES ! AND THEY (women) STILL MARRIED HIM ! 😅😅😅😅 DUDE. WHAT A LIFE.
King Henry VIII has had so many biographies, documentaries, and movies done about him that it is getting excessive. It's like the JFK assassination, enough already! Try a biography of someone else less well known.
How about Elizabeth of Russia ?
This channel posted last week that they were updating old videos, hence why there have been some repeats recently
Brown Mary Rodriguez Angela Robinson Thomas
His petulance and selfishness were the result of being raised by women? Oh, okay. Well done finding a way to blame women for Henry's brattishness.
The early version of Trump....yuk!
Sounds as though he was brutal
I would love to watch this but the narrator is beyond boring.
Love the channel but this was a pointless retread.
A 16th Century Hitler.
