      Sense it’s the season, I think It’s worth mentioning that this decision of Henry’s would set off a chain of events that would lead to the first thanksgiving, with the puritans, and the pilgrims wanting to get away from the Church of England, and establish a theocratic utopia in the new world, and what not.

    I chuckled at the Richard V joke but it made me wonder, why did the name Richard fall into disuse for English Kings after Richard III? I understand why the Tudors never used that name but why did both the Stuarts, the Hanovers and the Windsor families avoid taking that name when one of their own ascended the throne?

    • @stevensutton4677
      @stevensutton4677 Рік тому +24

      It might be less that Richard fell out of favour, and more other names came up the rankings. There are precious few opportunities for this to happen and be tested. If monarchs had a tenure more along the lines of prime ministers (in more stable times of course), I think we'd have seen a few more Richards by now. Certainly more Georges, maybe a Victoria or two.
      Remember up until two months ago, the name Charles was out of favour using the same logic. Many, myself included, were convinced he was going to be George VII. I know what you mean though: where are all the Prince Richards? That I can't answer.

    @magicdog9523 Рік тому +83

    While I realize this is probably a comedy sketch, I wish to clear up a common misunderstanding regarding "annulment" vs. "divorce" in the Catholic context. The Catholic Church allows for annulments, which is basically saying "For X or Y reason, this marriage was never actually valid, so we'll just pretend it never happened". In Henry's case, his father, Henry the Seventh, had arranged a very handy political marriage between Crown Prince Arthur and a Spanish princess named Catherine of Aragon. Then Arthur unexpectedly died. Catholic canon law forbade marrying one's brother's widow, but Dad was able to get special dispensation from the Pope to allow Catherine to remarry his second son... Little Henry the Eighth. Being the second son, Henry had been in training for a Church career up to this point, so he knew his theology. He initially didn't want to get married to Catherine, but eventually agreed to his father's dying wish and went with it. But when Catherine didn't produce a male heir, he decided it must be God's punishment, so he sought an annulment from the Pope. Normally it wouldn't be unusual for an annulment to be granted under these circumstances, but there was a little bit of a complication. Catherine was the aunt of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, whose troops were currently occupying Rome and holding the Pope prisoner. Charles did not like the idea of his aunt and cousin being essentially disowned and his cousin retroactively becoming a bastard. The Pope did not like the idea of being killed by Charles. So the Pope stalled so long that Henry ended up charging the cardinal he had sent to persuade the Pope with treason (luckily for the cardinal, he died of illness before he could be brought to trial).

    The founding Tudors - Henry VII and his mother Lady Margaret Beaufort - essentially banished the name 'Richard' from the courts. It was medieval political marketing: "The Plantagenets have gone, we, The Tudors are now in charge." Here, were I work (St John's College, University of Cambridge, founded my Margaret Beaufort) and live, Tudor symbolism (mostly the Tudor rose) is everywhere but little of the Plantagenets that founded most of Colleges pre-1600's.

Sadly for the popes, the jokes backfired, as the "Cathmania" acts of supremacy continued well past Henry divorcing the Roman Catholic Church.
