- Not a great tribute but I loved this moment and thought this music from Buffy went well with it. Added a couple clips from other episodes but it's about the speech. Long Live the Queen!
All of the Tudors combined did not have the class and dignity of this incredible woman.
you said it ,
Stephen64138 It was Henry who wasnt capable of having healthy male children.. the sex/gender is determined by the male.
Stephen64138 Mary certainly had a wretched young adulthood.... loved, hated, threatened, and ignored by her tyrannical father, separated from her mother and with few supporters or friends to sustain her. Nevertheless, thIs courageous young woman triumphed over the uncertainty that dominated her life. Her successful fight for the throne was welcomed by the English who supported her as the true heiress. Not understanding her subjects opposition to the marriage to Philip if Spain was the beginning of the end. A determined and courageous woman for sure, but without the training and temperament to rule wisely or successfully.
Stephen64138 : Mary Tudor’s difficult life wasn’t the result of Catherine’s “incapacity”. It was the result of Henry VIII’s extraordinary selfishness and paranoia.
Elisemckenna They didn’t know that back then. It was always believed that the women determined and produced the sex of the child for centuries until it was discovered that the men decide it.
What a regal woman, she was my favorite of his wives.
Moonlily mine too. Strong, outspoken, loyal, and faithful.
Under the church she is still the wife
Moonlily same
She was the only wife of his who was actually royal by birth. Like him she was the daughter of a King and Queen, so she had the training since she was born.
After that speech, she filed an appeal to the Pope. And that speech publically humiliated Henry. The trial apparently was held in the public.
The best scene. It makes me cry every single time she bows to him and kisses the floor. She adored him. He was unworthy of the love and of such a woman.
+Helen Davis Not that it mattered much, he cut off Kat Howard's head and went off to marry Catherine Parr :/
Alessandra Jennings Of all the actresses that has played the part of Catherine of Aragon and of all the actresses that that has given this speech this is the best.
She was not kissing the floor after bowing to him. It was taken from a seen where after she was praying and then kissed the floor.
He also loved her. More than the other wives atleast. You're totally right tho
I’m sorry if it shows I hit the thumbs down, i meant to hit the replay button I did change it I promise
The actress who played her was superb.
penusenvy Maria Doyle Kennedy, she moved onto a show called Orphan Black after this. She's amazing.
She was too old for the part though! In reality she was only 6 years older than Henry, yet here she looked like she could have been his mother. Natalie dormer is closer in age to Jonathan Rhys Meyers, yet anne Boleyn was actually atleast 10 years younger than Henry lol
"And whether or not it be true, I put it to your conscience."
*POWERFUL*
That was a polite way of saying "Stop lying Henry." She was the only person who had the courage to call Henry out on his bullshit, and she did it in front of the entire court. Yaas Queen!
Hmmmm... Catherine showed up, showed out, dropped the mic and dismissed court. Love it!
Amen
Her courtroom scene was one of the most powerful scene ever in the Tudors. She was the true Queen of England, no wonder the public loved her so much.
Even to the End, Kathrine always refered to herself as the true and only Queen of England.
It is telling by her mother Isabel I of Castile, never forget who you are
Christ Tapidingan Well... She was. Catherine of Aragón was raised and taught as a diplomat - politician. She was REGENT queen of England when Henry VIII was in battle against France... Catherine of Aragón leaded the English armies to defend England against Scottish invaders... Catherine of Aragón was loved by the people of England. In Spain she was known as Catherine of Aragón or Catherine of Trastámara - daughter of Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragón (Trastámara Dynasty)... In England she was known as Queen of Hearts - because she won the favor of the people of England.
She is to me
Queen Catherine of Aragon was right.
"I take God as my judge!"
so powerful💘
True
The only true queen of england until her death! Henry didn't deserve her at all....she was done the most dirty, yet is remembered as the best of his wives :)
Katherine Howard was murder when she was 19!
I do like 1.30 where Henry nearly shits himself when Catherine says "and whether this be true or no, I put it to your conscience." In other words, "You can say what you like to this trumped up court, Henry, but don't you ever speak to me like you don't know what really happened," She was probably the first and only person who ever called him out on his bullshit, and in front of the entire court as well.
True
powerful
I think she could only do so because of who her parents are and where she is from, and because he truly loved her, he still did it was only because if a male heir.
and she was like a boss
Lawrence Drake
Exactly
So beautiful and strong. She never shook from her convictions, not once. She lost her daughter, and everything she had ever had...and yet never gave up on her faith in God or her husband. She loved and respected him until the end...even when he was so cruel.
Now a days she would probably take everything he has
Amén
Real princess from Spain and true queen of England
People was always clapping, cheering, bowing down when she went in public. Despite what Henry thought of her. The crowd loved her. She carried herself with dignity and modesty.
.
I love Anne Boleyn, but I think that Katherine of Aragon was a great queen, a great woman, a great mother, and a great wife, and that is not enough tribute to her memorie. Long live queen Katherine!
Elizabeth Tudor why do you love Anne she was a whore
Obviously, she was spanish.
@@ryanireland2201
Anne wasn't a whore
Fuck you Elizabeth
@@ryanireland2201 I hate Anne Boleyn too, but not in the way you do. She's a homewrecker, and believe me, I had enough bad memories with homewreckers. Everything she was accused of may or may not have been true, and I guess I respect people who adored her and saw a multi-faceted side of her. She didn't deserve to be beheaded because of accusations, but her and her family's ambition and the means they went through just to get what they want sickens me.
This woman is above and beyond any other representation that I've ever seen of Queen Catherine. Such grace and poise; this was my favorite scene from this season.
The best scene of all the series. A Queen in the true sense of the word.
I feel so sad watching this. I feel terrible for Katherine of Aragon. Imagine what her life would be like had Prince Arthur lived and reigned with her. Imagine what history would have been like by now!
I also wonder what would have happened if their infant son had lived instead of dying at 52 days old. If Catherine had had a surviving son Henry would never have dumped her for Anne Boleyn and history would have been very different.
@@chooseyourpoison5105 she did had a son. But he died just 4 weeks after he was born.
@@drje3033 Yes, I stated above that he died
@@drje3033 Yeah, that's what he or she said!
Bloody Henry never ever deserved such a great wife in all means.
That is a Queen!!!! She is still my favorite...
SHE was...the ONE, the ONLY...wife for him!.She rank,her blood, her Catholic piety was EVERYTHING a King Of catholic England could ask for.Henry's MISERY began when he discarded her.Where the house of Tudor are concerned it is amazing to me that while Henry VIII went through such misery and CAUSED such misery and bloodshed simply to father a male Tudor to inherit the crown, his OWN daughter,Elizabeth, simply threw it way in the direction of Scotland by refusing to marry and produce heirs at all.
Actually, according to Henry's will, Margaret and her heirs were not to inherit the Crown of England (this was well before the Union). Henry decreed that the crown was to go to the heirs of his younger sister (Mary) if his line died out.
Catherine of aragon is overlooked and her role was really crucial if not for her the Scots would have overran England or at last not suffer a crippling defeat so early in the war.
she looks like how a real queen should be,dignity and grace
Tudor Fact: Queen Katherine’s nickname was actually the queen of hearts because she was so beloved by her people
In the beggining Henry was never meant to be King, but Catherine was always meant to be Queen
The greatest woman Henry VIII ever had but he let her go away... O Hail Queen Catherine 😘😘
Catherine had more royal blood in her than Henry ever did. The Tudors didn't have a strong claim to the throne, so that was why they were desperate for male heirs.
Well, there also wasn't really a precedent for a queen regnant in England at that time. The only time a woman had claimed the throne in the past, a civil war broke out.
I’m a fan of Anne Boleyn Jane Seymour & Anne of Cleves but Catherine will always be my favorite out of his 6 wives, such a strong woman and so loved, I believe Mary became who she was because of how her mother was treated and was a product of her environment
Catharine of Aragon has become an icon for me. I hope I can be 1/3 of the women she was
I feel that deep down, Henry did love Catherine of Aragon, but not in the way she deserved. She was kind, devoted, and loyal til the end. I feel that if he hadn't been so infatuated with Anne, they would have lived a happy marriage of respect and admiration, even if there was no more love
Really? He bedded so many women during his marriage to Catherine. I don't think they were happy at all. Henry loved no one but himself. He married Catherine also because of political reason, fearing her father would demand the dowry back.
Aw Aw I didn't say that he was an awesome husband, but it has been proven that male brains don't connect sex with love. He was very disloyal , but he probably didn't care for the,, considering how many her had. Yes, he loved himself over all others, but he did have affection for Catherine. It's hard not to feel close to someone you were married so long to.
They did love each other in the early days of their marriage, he wrote to the Duke of Suffolk describing her as "my most dear and well-loved consort" and he also competed in tournaments with the banner "Loyal Heart" for her. Henry did sleep with other women (Bessie Blount and Mary Boleyn among others) but that was expected behaviour for noblemen of the time. Catherine's father Ferdinand also slept his way through half the Spanish court despite his happy partnership with Isabella of Castile. Provided the kings did nothing to embarrass their queens and made sure any illegitimate children were provided for, both Isabella and her daughter Catherine were expected to turn a blind eye. If Henry had simply kept Anne Boleyn as a mistress there would not have been a problem; it was only when he wanted to divorce Catherine to marry Anne that the trouble started.
Ashley Morales he really loved her when he married her ( there wasnt political obligations any more, and many embassadors talked surprissed about the loving husband he was) but just like Anne he proved that he loved himself more. He wasnt capable of having healthy male children and he blamed his wife because of his own ego. Thats why he lost interest in Anne so soon. The second time he saw it was his fault and he couldnt accept it.
Ashley he adored her at the begining. The problem was that Henry' s true love was himself, he could not bear the idea that he wasnt capable of having healthy sons and he blamed his wives. One after another. Giles Tremlett wrote an amazing book about Catherine, i recomend it
She was everything a true Mideval Queen was supposed to be. Kind, classy, pious, loyal, refined and well mannered. She would have prospered and had a better end had she married any other man besides Henry or if Arthur hadn't died. Rest in Peace to a true Queen.
This whole speech is actually what she said in court
God bless the Queen!!
She was too good for him
One of the the great speeches in history.
*Drops the mic* This is my favourite scene from The Tudors. This actress was fantastic at playing Catalina de Aragón.
Poor poor Queen Catherine. She was the true queen
I truly admire Catherine!
Katherine is the best and true queen. love this! 😍😍😍
Spanish lioness
A true queen an incredible scene well acted - such dignity and composure.
An elegant beautiful queen
Absolutely beautiful.
Regardless of the schism between the Catholics and Protestants, I (a Protestant) view Catherine as an inspiration. She had class, dignity, and quiet strength. She knew exactly who she was. She wasn’t afraid to fight for her rights. She was a true queen, and she deserved way better than what she got.
What a great Queen
A true QUEEN.
Well played, QUEEN Katharine!
Every inch a queen. one of my fave scenes.
He is the reason Mary became who she was. I hate him
Estrellakatarinathegreatrussian it takes two to tango. Anne did not do it alone.
He was a horrible man who used women and the kingdom for his whims and ego. Not always the woman's fault. Poor Queen Catherine died alone and isolated because the bastard would not allow anyone, including their daughter to visit her own Mother. I hope he suffered greatly and karma claimed his only son.
Anyone who knows the story of Maria Tudor knows that she was an extremely sweet woman and in need of affection, like the mother desperately in love with her husband. How many wrongs has he suffered from his father that cannot be counted? tried to rewind the tape of history but it was not in the fate of that unfortunate princess.
The picture of dignity
She was too much queen for Henry. Its a pity that Anne made him belive that he was almost a God inside his country. Anne created the monster, and she became a victim of her own actions
Yap. You said it
Anne was a pawn in her families ambition and hunger for power. Sure, Anne had her faults. But Anne didn't create what Henry became. Henry was played by his council and manipulated into putting Anne to death. Anne wouldn't even become Henrys mistress, she wouldn't stoop to that. I think they were truly in love with eachother, and as much as I love Catherine, I don't think Henry should have been forced to marry his brothers wife.
@@hannahmarie6501 Henry was not forced... I am in these days reading a book about the six wives of Henry.
The book clearly said that Henry's father didn't want him to marry Catherine.
It was Henry's choice, after his father's death, to marry Catherine.
I personally admire Anne Boleyn because she was strong and respected herself so much that she wasn't going to become just a mistress.
But I like also Catherine because of her pure soul and loving nature.
My favourite will always be Anne... but I feel some kind of admiration for Catherine too.
@@valentinagorini1996 which book are you reading?

Poor woman to lose 5 babies, by saying this she showed how much she missed and loved them, Henry broke her heart and made her feel guilty and a failure, losing their babies was just bad luck, only thing is as a Catholic she believed in Heaven, hope she was reunited with them all, including Mary who also had a sad life
very realistic spanish accent
What's ironic is that Anne's daughter, Queen Elizabeth I, has a lot in common with Katherine of Aragon. In the history books, Henry did love Katherine (but it wasn't really a romantic love; it was a platonic love based on great friendship & respect). He idolized her & she had a lot to do with the success between alliances with other countries - even acting as ambassador for Henry when it was needed. I can't remember which battle or war, but at one point Henry was busy fighting another battle & the rest of the troops had to go off unexpectedly to fight another one. Katherine was pregnant & road out with the other troops (she lead them, though obviously did not physically fight, but still) to another battlefield b/c Henry couldn't be in two places at once. She had a miscarriage b/c of it, but she did it for Henry nonetheless. I just find it so funny that Queen Elizabeth I has a lot in common with Katherine (the same grace, strength, courage etc.) and yet Elizabeth was Anne's daughter. Weird but cool.
Battle of Flodden :)
The first and only, real, true, legitimate, royal blood Queen Catherine of Aragon.
Out of all his wives her respected her the most and so did England.
How come one of the oldest edits of hers still can be the best tribute to her legendary speech... You are brilliant!!
She WON
poor Catherine. Life was so cruel to her.
The Tudors forgot to shed light on Henry's and Katherine's relationship. She was his queen by his choice as well and he was really happy with her during the beginning. But like all of his marriages, only the beginning.
5 failed mariages after Catherine proves she was the right one.
Lol, nope. How can you consider his marriage to Jane Seymour a failed one? Like dude, she died in childbirth and if she didn't, her position as a queen of England would be far more secure than KoA's, simply because she was lucky to give birth to a boy. Henry would have mistresses of course but his marriage to Jane wouldn't collapse :P
Oh geez, I'm crying over here!
I'm only in episode 2. And i love her so much.
One of the best moments in The Tudors. Catherine of Aragon did not deserve the treatment she received from Henry.
Catherine was a great woman, a compassionate and kind-hearted queen, she used to go among the peasantry and help the wretched by giving them alms, she defended England when the Scots opportunistically attacked while Henry was away in France and she refused to stir civil war when Henry divorced her even though the English adored her and would have supported her and the heir Mary against Henry and his excesses. Henry was a psychopath. He did not deserve her. Oh, and her dynasty the Trastamaras were older than the upstart Tudors.
Catherine Of Aragon was King Henry's best wife
Hell No.
@@savagedarksider5934 i say yes
@@savagedarksider5934 yeah, the one saying no to this would probably be in hell
@@SG-pu3rx Don't come at me with that Hell Crap. I'm A Atheist and Queen Catherine was A fat old bitch.
My favorite of his wives and then Jane
Sovereign Princess , Queen , Regent , Warrior , Patron of Scholars and Artists Philanthropist , Mother : Katherine of Aragon was the complete package .
She had the dignity of a goddess .
Katherine of Aragon is and will always be my hero .
He almost died when she get in her knees
from all the Tudor series' queens I actually like Anne Boleyn best, but wow... did Catarina have a humble grace and dignity about her.
Anne was a whore
@@ritapita1126
No she wasn't
@@annemergler399 indeed she was.. she was pregnant to a living wife's husband.. Henry lost interest in her very quickly. Anne was very ambitious.. meddling in the king's affairs, which was a significant factor in contributing to her downfall.
@@ritapita1126
Anne was also forced by her father, she was in love with Herny Percy and wanted to marry him and not the King, but the King had interesent's in her and wanted to take her as a mistress. Anne's sister Mary had been before her a misstress of Herny, she was called the great whore, so Anne didn't want to end like her. I don't get me wrong i love Koa, as i also love Anne Boleyn. People forget, that they had many parells
Ewww ugly ass anne
The best queen ❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a Narcissist she was married to for years, and the first wife. Bless her!!!!
I got goosebumps
Catherine and Jane are my favorite Queens
I still watch this, she told if she poor woman but her dowry fill The England's royal treasury and for that her been keep in England so her dowry didn't back to Spain when Henry older brother died, turned Catherine become a widow without child
Conqueror of the in the Battle of Flodden Field
Henry was a fickle man corrupted my his own power to see through what true love really meant and all the un speakable karma that followed him after that is truly un bearable !!! The predicament of all his 6 wives what a time to live in !!!
Honestly Henry was a Bad husband, this is a point were he should have learnd something from his Dad
The most lit mic drop in history
Catherine was his true Queen and wife, I know that she was cast out and that many people argue over Anne Boleyn's guilt or innocence of the charges that eventually led to her execution but she wasn't an innocent when it came to her trying usurp her mistress, her royal highness and even if she wasn't executed, I think she got what she had coming when Henry replaced her with one of her maids and that her marriage was deemed invalid as he deemed his marriage to Catherine invalid. So for what she did to Catherine, and also her treatment of Mary, she was in no way an innocent woman.
She was a real queen, but Henry VIII himself to poor and dumb to understand. He did not recognize.
Duty>Devotion
😔😤
The beautiful and brave Queen.
Even though you know, this scene makes you feel like she will get her way 😢
I cant stand Anne. I will NEVER call her Queen.
Queen Catherine was the TRUE Queen of England. And Henry an 🤬🤬🤬
May she rest in peace. I feel so sorry for her 🥺 and Mary.
All this to get a boy.. The joke is on him.
I cant stand Catherine.She is dumb.
@@cobileanubianca6279 if not for her and her daughters fight & life long works Elizabeth would've been sent like a property to secure a peace treaty at best and never could have worn a crown. Especially if her mother lived given she couldn't even secure her own head as a Queen Consort for 3 years lol I think the events speak loud and clear as to who was the dumber one
Beautiful
He should to react while she was living the Court for asking her to come back together... He looked a little bit affected.
I know the real history and it was a movie... But leaving Catherine for Anne Boleyn was a big mistake from him.
If only this edit had been made during the time of The Spanish Princess, so they could show flashback to Catherine in Spain, the love Henry once had for Catherine, and their lost children.
She worshipped the ground he walked on. He broke her heart 💔
it's not a lie when she came to england she was poor and she didnt have any money catherine of aragon was very truthful person read the book
princesspeachandeveryone1 When Arthur died, Henry VII began to keep Katherine in a state of near-poverty. Ferdinand did not help matters by not stepping in to protect his daughter.
amazing
He did not deserved her
He knows what he did
Bad Henry!!!!!
This is such a beautiful video! What is the name of the song/instrumental music?
First Henry must thanks she got pious woman as his wife
Second she isn't like Isabella of France who put down her husband from the throne
Katherine of Aragon was the only queen , Henry feared .
And that's a fact . She was enormously popular with the people . She could torn the country in two , and if she took the field , she would have won .
Not to mention that her nephew was The Holy Roman Emperor , CharlesV.
Trust me , Emperor Charles had much more muscle .
Henry was scared shitless of Katherine !
She didn't deserve such a tragic fate. But if Henry VIII hadn't divorced her then Elizabeth I and the Golden Age would never had happened. Out of all his wives, Catherine of Aragon was the most dignified.
Is it just mean or does it look like henry is on the verge of tears when Catherine gives her speech.
Quite possibly. She's speaking authentically and he can't not listen.
thank you!!
One thing has to be said Henry never stated that she wasn't a virgin on their wedding night. He was a coward and believed in god so wouldn't damn his soul with such a lie.
Well, Henry liked to view himself as the "good guy" and had a way of twisting things in his mind so that he ended up convincing himself that everything he did was justified, rather than admitting that he'd actually been an a**hole. I don't believe for a moment that he really thought Katherine of Aragon wasn't a virgin, but he convinced himself that she had slept with Arthur and thus wasn't truly Henry's wife, rather than admitting to himself that he had done wrong by his faithful wife of 20 years by running off with Anne the side chick. Same with Anne Boleyn - nobody, not even Henry, truly believed the nonsensical charges that Anne had slept with her brother and performed witchcraft to enchant the king, but good ol' Henry convinced himself it was true, rather than simply admit that he had been a gullible idiot who had thought with his dick instead of his head. Even the rubbish about Anne of Cleves being ugly doesn't stand up to scrutiny - she was actually described by contemporaries as being quite pretty, with blond hair, blue eyes and a curvy figure - but Henry convinced himself she was "ugly," so he didn't have to face up to the fact that he was getting rid of a wife of six months who hadn't actually done anything wrong.
ChooseYour Poison you are right I always thought that if he did not believe Katherine was not a virgin he would said so and not wait 20 years to say so
thank you!
