Henry VIII wouldn't dare to behead Catherine of Aragon. As a daughter of the Soanish Catholic Mahesties, she was a true "Princess of Blood" and also an aunt of the Holy Roman Emperor.
She was also popular with the people, as the true Queen Consort. She had her own power base, an early Princess Diana.History repeated itself, as the true consort was replaced with the mistress.

Henry did not behead Queen Mary's Mom, Catherine of Aragon. He divorced her. If you are doing a history please get the history right. He did behead Elizabeth's mother however.
He didn't divorce her, he had the marriage annulled which meant that he and Catherine had never been married at all. If you're not married, you can't be divorced. As you say, "If you are doing a history please get the history right."
@@maggiematthews3517 Surely it was because the Pope would not annul the marriage, Henry, with the help of Cromwell (Thomas!) broke from Rome to create the Church of England, which of course did grant his divorce? Hence the nmemonic - Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived.
Henry did not behead Mary’s mother, as you say. Catherine of Aragon died a natural death a year or2 after the divorce, which may have been an annulment
An annulment required that the participants in the marriage had not consummated said marriage. She had numerous children of Henry's even though only Mary survived. So an annulment was NOT an option. Also, there is reason to suspect possible poisoning. And Catherine of Aragon had powerful connections to Spain.
She died of Cancer. I think she also died of a broken heart ! Not certain of this but I think Henry separated her from Mary for a long enough time within the couple of years to affect her.
You are correct. Catherine of Aragon passed away three+ years after their "divorce". At autopsy, it was believed that she passed from cancer of the heart. I am in the medical field, but I had not heard of this diagnosis either before or after learning this about poor Caterina. I do not understand why we anglicize and/or change foreign names. Example: Christopher Columbus was born "Cristoforo Colombo", Catherine of Aragon was born "Caterina", Galileo was born "Galileo Galilei", Mark Antony was born "Marcus Antonius".
Henry's 6th wife, Catherine Parr deserves more of the credit for reconciling Henry with his daughters, Mary and Elizabeth, and restoring them to the line of succession. She was also a staunch Protestant herself, and she chose Edward's tutors, the ones who radicalized him. Henry broke with the church for his own convenience. He was a Catholic, but insisted that he was the head of the church in England instead of the pope. Edward started to force Protestantism on England forcefully and Mary enforced Catholicism . England didn't really become Protestant until the reign of Elizabeth and even she was ok with her Catholic subjects as long as they were loyal subjects. It didn't help that the pope encouraged English Catholics to do everything they could to destroy her.
The Pope condemned numerous treaties and attacks with The Moors and Turks, against the rest of Europe There was State sanctioned piracy. (Privateering) Being a gypsy was a hanging offence and Jews were banned, any destitute caught begging was beaten until they reached the town boundary. Protestant Church attendance was compulsary or pay a ruinous fine.. Her chief scientists Dr Dee and Kelley were Necromancers. Henry and his hangers on had asset stripped and looted so much of the country it was set back economically 100 years.
Actually, it was Elizabeth who enforced the Protestant faith. She passed a law demanding that everyone attend the new Protestant Sunday services. Failure to attend resulted in a hefty fine, continued failure meant imprisonment. Loyal Catholics had to choose between staying true to the Catholic faith or feeding their families!
Elizabeth said to many of her staff and close friends that her brother was kind and gentle. This was after he passed so she had no reason to fib. Most of this video is conjecture.
Apart from the claim that he allegedly, *"...ripped a bird into four pieces with his bare hands,..."* I waited & waited for the info that showed --or proved how vicious the boy king was...I'm still waiting. ..😮😕🔥
Certain greedy uncles were up to no good!!!! When Mary Tudor became Queen it was what Henry left in his will. She was second in line, then Elizabeth was third to inherit the crown! Brave young lady to succeed at ruling and she did her best to end religious persecution!!!! Not many stood up to her. She was what she had to be. A tough girl!!!!!!
@@John-qd5of Queen Katherine was never divorced or beheaded, she was "set aside" by Henry after almost 20 years of marriage and failure to produce a male heir. Henry petitioned The Pope for both an annulment and then a divorce, both requests were denied. Henry at the time was heavily involved with Anne Boleyn, many years his junior, and anxious to marry her due to her being young and hopefully fertile. When Anne turned up pregnant, Henry took matters into his own hands, defying The Pope, and set his wife Katherine aside, then married Anne. Henry was excommunicated by The Pope for these actions, which led him to start his own religion, The Church of England, egged on by both Anne and Thomas Cromwell. Queen Catherine died a natural death years later at the age of 51 after many years of exile and virtual imprisonment (she was confined in a convent/nunnery).
Catherine of Aragon gave birth to several male heirs. Unfortunately, none lived past a toddler age. Anne Boleyn miscarried a son. AND Henry VIII had a son with his mistress, Bessy Blount
Historian Retha Warnicke believes that after Anne’s miscarriage, Henry might have been convinced that Anne had cursed him by miscarriage, and he thought his marriage with Anne would never produce a son. She may have had Rh incompatibility.
@@DoreenGaleaVincentiZarb Henry did not have a child with Mary Boleyn. He was born years after Mary affair with Henry ended. Henry also never claimed the child and given he was a boy he would have done so.
@cherrytraveller5915 i agree. I do think it's a good possibility that Mary Boleyns eldest Catherine Carey, was Henry's biological daughter. It doesn't really matter if either of them were Henry's kids. Mary was married to William Carey when they were conceived and born. They weren't illegitimate. Henry couldn't have claimed either one of them.
There are so many inaccuracies in this; Edward didn't have enough time to become twisted, he was ruled by his power hungry uncles, Edward and Thomas Seymour. It was Elizabeth, who was a Protestant; she was his favourite sister. Edward V1 died of tuberculosis in 1553.
@@marycaine8874 That seems to have been the case. There have been theories over the years that John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland, manipulated Edward into his “Devise for the Succession,” but I think it was Edward’s own idea. He disliked Mary’s Catholicism, and was doubtful of Elizabeth’s legitimacy, and he trusted Lady Jane Grey, the granddaughter of Henry’s younger sister Mary, to carry on the Protestant vision that Edward wanted. The problem with it is that it proved to be unpopular with the public at large. They had a great respect for dynastic legitimacy, and they thought Edward’s sister Mary had a better claim to the crown than Henry VIII’s grandniece. I find the religious persecutions under both Mary and Elizabeth abhorrent.
Also to say the Henry VIII invented a new religion is ridiculous. The religion was still Christianity. He made himself head of the church in England. That is not starting a new religion. The author should beware of making sweeping statements and placing modern day theories about the past.
@KathleenHudd thank you he was guided by Cromwell and many others who wanted copy the protestant church in the Netherlands. Wasn't creating anything. And Henry was always a Christian at heart. This was one massive dummy spit out at the pope. But a very bloody one. It also didn't help how wealthy the church had become. And Henry needed money for his wars in France. So used that as another excuse. Which Cromwell helped him with as he hated the church.
AI like this, with at least one glaring inaccuracy, is an insult to our intelligence. It is a waste of our time and fills the heads of our less informed friends and neighbors with bad information. Edward may have been a real brat and a danger to the nation but many commenters noted the inexcusable falsehood of Catherine of Aragon having been executed. I'm beginning to think that our only course of action to protect ourself from this kind shoddy history is to "dislike" it and block the poster.
Or, seek the Living God, Yeshua, Jesus the Christ. He will not lie or deceive. It’s interesting; the second city Yah, the Most High, had Joshua conquer and destroy was named “Ai”. Amazing, right? It will be destroyed again.
The narrator just put the deaths of the first two wives together as a short list! And it’s true: one divorce, one execution. He didn’t specify which was which.
It's not at all odd that Edward should have everything an exact duplicate of his father's. It was common practice, even in their queens courts. Daughters and favorite concubines wore exact duplicates of what the queen wore, minus crown.
Henry did not 'create his own religion'. He simply told everyone HE was head of the Catholic church in England from now on, not the Pope because the Pope would not end his marriage to Katherine of Aragon, born Spanish royalty and the Pope preferred weak England as an enemy rather than powerful Spain. As usual it was all down to power politics and self-interest. Henry dissolved the monasteries simply to get hold of their riches and land. He was such a spendthrift that he always needed money. Henry, in fact, wanted no truck with the 'protestants', those who wanted to reform the Catholic church. To the end of his days he carried on in the same religion he had been born into. Edward was a different matter entirely, but he died. Making silly statements like yours simply confuses people.
Sir .. Katherine of Aragon's brother wasn't even alive at that point...it was her Nephew Charles V that was holy Roman Emperor..Joanna was his mother Katherine 's sister
I'm pretty sure that Parliament passed a law establishing Henry as head of the Church of England. It was called, The Supremacy Act. This act terminated the Pope's authority in England, and while the Pope's authority was spiritual in theory, in reality, it was also temporal because the popes taxed English subjects and exercised other temporal powers. Yes, Henry and Cromwell looted the monasteries, but the loot wasn't loot. It belonged to them. People played for keeps in those days.
I do think that Henry suffered some kind of injury, possibly from that jousting tournament in which he was unhorsed. That would explain in part his many acts of cruelty thereafter.
Absolutely no evidence here of him being a brat or of having 'dark' side. He didn't ask for the clothes or forks! Lady Jane Grey was brought up with Edward. They were close. Mary offered to spare her if she converted to Catholicism... She died a protestant martyr.
I am watching this in Britain and rolling my eyes! Henry VIII was not a Protestant as the Protestant faith understands it. Henry had many protestants burned for their faith. Edward was the King of England who advanced the English Reformation. The Wars of Regilion that raged across Europe were a little more complex than the video would suggest. I would love to know what research you did for this video. Wikipedia is not a good source. Can you please provide a list of your reading for this video. Edward has been hailed as a King beyond his years. If he would have survived, his sister Mary would not have earned her name "Bloody Mary" because she burned so many Protestants. We can never forget Edward was young, but young people were expected to mature a lot more quickly. I also believe that there is no evidence to suggest Edward was poisoned.
@marcokite It may surprise you that Elizabeth I tried to introduce religious tolerance in Britain. However, assassination attempts and plots by Roman Catholics led to the religious prosecution of Catholics. These plots were part of a RC Counter Reformation, largely sponsored by Spain and RC Europe.
From the passing of Henry VIII, Edward VI was raised by his Uncles the Seymores who were more interested in lining their own pockets than running the country.
Henry VIII did not “invent” a new religion; he uncoupled the English church from the authority of Rome but it remained largely unchanged in doctrine and liturgy from the Church of Rome. And he didn’t declare himself “Defender of the Faith”, that was bestowed on him by the Pope before the break with Rome.
Yes, and the reformers were pretty dismayed when Henry kept the 7 sacraments after he had made himself head of the churches of English. He hated heretics.
The slang and inaccuracies in this narrative is laughable. As a Ricardian, I hate the Tudors and all the evil mass executions they performed but get your facts right and the language more professional for people to take seriously.
One aspect of Edward's life that most agree on is that Edward was a scholar fluent in many languages including Latin & Greek. He shared his academic excellence with his sister Elizabeth. It seems odd that Edward's academic excellence was not mentioned.
"Rotund father"??? Not for most of his life. In his youth, Henry VIII was known for his athleticism and good looks. He stood about 6 feet 2 inches tall and was considered a handsome, muscular man, often described as the "handsomest potentate" by a Venetian ambassador. . His early years were marked by vigorous activities such as jousting, which he excelled at, reflecting a fit and active lifestyle. The turning point in Henry's physical condition began in his late 30s. A serious leg injury sustained during a jousting match led to complications that limited his mobility and exercise. This injury, combined with a high-calorie diet-averaging around 5,000 calories per day-contributed to his significant weight gain. Reports indicate that he consumed lavish meals, often consisting of multiple meat dishes and large quantities of ale. By the time he reached his 40s, he was already showing signs of weight gain, with waist measurements increasing from around 36 inches to 48 inches.
Katherine of Aragon, Mary's mother was not beheaded she died in exile after Henry broke with the church made himself the head of his new religion and divorced her. It was common place for royals NOT to raise their children and only see them a few times a year but to get regular reports as to education and behavior. It was only the pore that actually had regular daily contact and really raised their children.
Henry didn't make or establish a new religion. He changed absolutely nothing about the Church of England aside from making himself as monarch the head of the head of the church, sacking the monasteries, and appointing bishops. He instituted no reforms or changes in liturgy or doctrines.
@Beez-k7v Henry VIII created the Church of England as a religious body unique from the Roman Catholic Church in order to achieve his goal of divorcing his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, and then marry to Anne Bolyne.
I cant begin to go through all the historical inaccuracies, my A level history tutor, the late Mr (kevin) Jolly, a misnomer if there was ever one, would be rolling in his grave.
Edward was raised by women. He had a governess until age 6. Edward at that age was placed in the care of his tutors. He was never at anytime with his father. He stayed at Hatfield which was well away from his father. Henry feared sickness and it was well known that children needed to be raised in the country side where the air was clearer.
It was the practice in those days for the children of the aristocracy to spend most of their time with a governess or nanny, and boys till they were seven, when they started being taught by male teachers, learning lessons and sports that were seen as suitable for an aristocratic man. Children, if living in the same residence - they were often raised in another residence in the country for the sake of their health - would be brought to see their parents perhaps once a day for a short while. Aristocratic parents were not hands-on. This is a rubbish post.
People, if you really are interested in Tudor history, or any history for that matter, don’t try to learn it from these stupid TH-cam posts with robot narrators. Get a few books by actual historians like Alison Weir and others, and READ. There is a ton of information about the Tudor period, but these sensationalist clickbait posts are worthless. Get BOOKS. READ.
Wasn't 'rotund Henry VIII' actually a sports fan until he suffered a serious injury while jousting, or something? That's what I seemed to remember from a documentary I saw a long time ago, but maybe I'm wrong?
He was quite athletic when younger. But a jousting accident left him with a chronic infection. The concussion seems to have triggered a profound personality change.
@@lindaterrell5535 Thank you for confirming! I also seem to remember that it was speculated that the jousting accident caused weight gain, which may, in turn, may have caused diabetes or something. So Henry VIII, seen as a villain, may actually have been a tragic figure.
I thought Henry's widow married Thomas Seymour and bore him a child, dying afterwards. That man also was trying to bed Edward's sister, the future Elizabeth the First...
Catherine Parr did marry Thomas Seymour. She died giving birth to their daughter, who sadly likely died very young as well as there is no record regarding what happened to her.
Pedo phil ia when he crept in his stepdaugher's bedchamber every mirning to creep on her. The same when he tied her to a tree and cut her clothes to ribbons whilst her stepmother laughing, looked on. 'Tried to bed her' makes it sound like equals not in loco parentis middle age step father, orphaned child, spineless or twisted, complicit step'mother'
There’s a short record- Catherine Parr’s baby daughter was taken in by Katherine Willoughby, the 4th wife of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. It’s assumed the child didn’t live very long, because there is no further record of her.
You are totally correct. Thomas Seymour married Katherine Parr, she died after giving birth to a baby girl Mary who is thought to have died aged about two. Thomas Seymour flirted dangerously with the young Elizabeth, eventually being executed for treason in 1549.
The 2022 showtime series “Becoming Elizabeth” made efforts to portray Edward in a more realistic manner and how his father’s influence shaped the teenage King. They captured his volatile temper a trait he inherited from Henry 8 and his court shared similarities with his father’s ruthless court politics. Unfortunately the series was cancelled due to low viewership and would have loved to see the succession crisis he created unfold.
Henry VIII had sons within marriage previously, but they died within days or weeks. He had an illegitimate son (Henry Fitzroy) who survived to age 17 before dying in 1536.
Royal children didnt live with their parents, but in their own separate houses. Henry's six wives were 1.divorced 2.beheaded 3.died 4.divorced 5.beheaded 6.survived.......
Apparently Anne of Cleves, Henry's discarded 4th wife became good friends with Henry, and it was said that he regretted getting rid of her in such haste because everybody liked her.
The young Edward VI may have seen a Religious shift in England, but as far as Kings go, this isn't anything too damning A spoiled brat as a royal child seems like it would've been a common trait for more than not. His father wanted to give his son all the gifts a prince could have Had Edward managed to grow into his majority and had a proper regency period before hand, maybe he would've been a decent king. We'll never know (though the Scotland thing was wild to hear about... dramatic beyond belief)
I disagree with your truth. For his age is was a highly intelligent and well read young man. He sadly passed away at the age of 14. There is no way to predict how he would have turned out as a man 500 years later.
People fixate on celebrity victims but Henry VIIIs reign saw a huge number of "vagabonds" executed in the region of 50,000 - way more than average for the times, mostly turned out of the dissolved monasteries
Terribly stilted narrative, evidently read by someone with no interest or familiarity with his material. If you are interested in this period, consult one or more of the many reliable, well established printed sources. Any good library will have some.
For those complaining about 'divorce and beheaded'. Yes it is bad phrasing the connector should have been 'divorced or beheaded' to make it clear that it was Catherine of Aragon divorced, Anne Bolyne beheaded. As everyone knows 'divorce, beheaded, dies, divorced, beheaded, survived'.
PSA: TH-cam, while a great entry source for couriosity about history, should never be taken as an accurate or irrefutable source on the topic. There's a reason you can't cite TH-cam or Wikipedia as a source in academia...
Jane Grey's father tried to raise a rebellion vs Mary. It became clear that as long as Lady Jane Grey lived, ppl would be inclined to rebellion...especially the protestants. So Jane had to go
Actually King Henry VIII killed many times more per year than Mary, and Elizabeth killed as many per year as Mary did. The only reason Mary is considered worse is because she picked Protestants to execute instead of the less popular Catholics.
@@alexeichoquet7822People, especially kings, played for keeps back then. Once Henry made himself head of the C of E, "it was on" between two regimes and worldviews. Neither could creditably claim any moral superiority to the other, and yet they did just that. But IMO, the protestant ascendency after Henry was largely healthy and inevitable. Elizabeth I was reasonably tolerant of Catholicism and a growing Puritan sect. The trouble came with James I.
H8 did NOT start a new religion. H8s Church of England, that existed prior to its union w/ Rome, was 100% theologically aligned w/ the Roman church, except over polity. It became Protestant & theologically more biblical & more like the pre-Roman CoE under E6 & Elizabeth.
What a good thing no Tudor was able to have children after Henry 8th. Anyway. Catherine of Aragon had the second best deal of all Henry 8th's queens (the first being probably Anne of Cleves) and died of natural causes, surrounded by people who cared for her. Catherine Parr did not have a happy life after the king's death.
Are you kidding? Henry treated Catherine horribly! Kept her away from her own daughter, was stingey with money, stripped her of her jewels, titles, etc. 😮
@@valeriemarott1923 I know, but she was still better treated than Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard. Catherine Parr had a better life with him than Catherine of Aragon, but her life after his death was really bad. Anne von Cleves is the only one who was treated with respect for as long as he lived, and although she died of the plague when she went back, she pretty much did what she wanted once back home. .
@@valeriemarott1923 And Jane Seymour died in terrible suffering. So I will maintain that Catherine of Aragon was lucky. She must have feared for her life a few times.

Oh FGS. He did not tear the falcon into four pieces. That would have been physically impossible for a young boy. .He apparently tried to pluck its feathers, without success, as understandably the bird struggled and freed itself.
Henry and Catherine had sons. None survived childhood. They also lost daughters. The losses probably had to do with inbreeding in Catherine's family and bit in his as well. Also Edward was not all that fragile.
This is one of the most historically inaccurate videos I have ever seen. I'd list all the errors of fact, but that would make this comment 50 pages long. Henry never beheaded Katherine of Aragon. It was perfectly normal for royal children to be brought up away from court, with their own household, especially the heir to the throne. It was thought to be safer, as it kept the children away from the risks of disease living at court would bring. Henry and his siblings themselves were primarily brought up at Eltham Palace. They would join their parents for Christmas, Easter, and other festive occasions. Of course Edward's school books were decorative. Books were precious back then, and many, especially religious manuscripts, were adorned with jewels. Also, the boy was the heir to throne, he's going to have things like that. It's not like modern times, where people want royalty to seem like ordinary people. He was not into spells or witchcraft. The very idea is laughable. Henry never "indoctrinated" Edward. In fact, Henry's Church of England was basically Catholicism w/o the Pope. When Edward became king, he rejected this and made it fully Protestant. The Scots never agreed to a marriage between Edward and Mary Queen of Scots. She was betrothed to the Dauphin of France and sent to live the French court. Henry's anger over this provoked "The Rough Wooing," where he attacked Scotland in revenge. I could go on and on about the rest of the errors, but really, I don't have the time.
Henry VII did not behead his eldest daughter (Mary’s) mother. Henry had her, Katherine of Aragon banished from court to live the rest of her life in seclusion, being moved from castle to castle, where she died at Kimbolton Castle with her head attached.
Henry VIII wouldn't dare to behead Catherine of Aragon. As a daughter of the Soanish Catholic Mahesties, she was a true "Princess of Blood" and also an aunt of the Holy Roman Emperor.
She also did noting to warrant it.
She was also popular with the people, as the true Queen Consort. She had her own power base, an early Princess Diana.History repeated itself, as the true consort was replaced with the mistress.

Apart from the claim that he allegedly, *"...ripped a bird into four pieces with his bare hands,..."* I waited & waited for the info that showed --or proved how vicious the boy king was...I'm still waiting. ..😮😕🔥
basically this is bollocks. Turning it off now.
Not only conjecture, but numerous inaccuracies too. Click bait 😂
He was little more than a clueless child when he died. His advisors were really the people in charge, not Edward
I don’t think he was clueless.
@@roberthead9149
Still too young to rule with full powers as a king
That's what I thought
Certain greedy uncles were up to no good!!!! When Mary Tudor became Queen it was what Henry left in his will. She was second in line, then Elizabeth was third to inherit the crown! Brave young lady to succeed at ruling and she did her best to end religious persecution!!!! Not many stood up to her. She was what she had to be. A tough girl!!!!!!
He wasn't clueless, by no means.
Queen Mary’s mother was not beheaded.
Indeed, Queen Karherine of Aragón was divorced, not beheaded.
Divorced ,beheaded ,died
.
Divorced ,beheaded ,survived !
He said "their mothers were divorced, and beheaded". The "respectively" was implied.
@@John-qd5of Queen Katherine was never divorced or beheaded, she was "set aside" by Henry after almost 20 years of marriage and failure to produce a male heir. Henry petitioned The Pope for both an annulment and then a divorce, both requests were denied. Henry at the time was heavily involved with Anne Boleyn, many years his junior, and anxious to marry her due to her being young and hopefully fertile. When Anne turned up pregnant, Henry took matters into his own hands, defying The Pope, and set his wife Katherine aside, then married Anne. Henry was excommunicated by The Pope for these actions, which led him to start his own religion, The Church of England, egged on by both Anne and Thomas Cromwell. Queen Catherine died a natural death years later at the age of 51 after many years of exile and virtual imprisonment (she was confined in a convent/nunnery).
Henry divorced Mary’s mother and beheaded Elizabeths’s mother.
Lady Jane Gray was executed because her father was involved in another plot against Mary.
Catherine of Aragon gave birth to several male heirs. Unfortunately, none lived past a toddler age. Anne Boleyn miscarried a son. AND Henry VIII had a son with his mistress, Bessy Blount
and a son with Ann Boleyn's sister, Henry Carey.
Historian Retha Warnicke believes that after Anne’s miscarriage, Henry might have been convinced that Anne had cursed him by miscarriage, and he thought his marriage with Anne would never produce a son. She may have had Rh incompatibility.
@@DoreenGaleaVincentiZarb Henry did not have a child with Mary Boleyn. He was born years after Mary affair with Henry ended. Henry also never claimed the child and given he was a boy he would have done so.
@cherrytraveller5915 i agree. I do think it's a good possibility that Mary Boleyns eldest Catherine Carey, was Henry's biological daughter. It doesn't really matter if either of them were Henry's kids. Mary was married to William Carey when they were conceived and born. They weren't illegitimate. Henry couldn't have claimed either one of them.
@@DoreenGaleaVincentiZarbAnd a daughter, Catherine Carey
Beheaded their moms? What are you talking about? He did NOT behead Catherine of Aragon.
1 minute and 4 seconds in . "Seymour fought for over a week before succumbing to her illness" (shows a picture of Anne Boleyn)......
"Divorced and beheaded their moms". Makes it sound like he divorced both and beheaded both. Badly made sentence.
That was the problem here- bad sentence structuring- not incorrect history.
There are so many inaccuracies in this; Edward didn't have enough time to become twisted, he was ruled by his power hungry uncles, Edward and Thomas Seymour. It was Elizabeth, who was a Protestant; she was his favourite sister. Edward V1 died of tuberculosis in 1553.
That's what I've always understood. Edward wanted Protestant Lady Jane Grey to succeed him.
@@marycaine8874 That seems to have been the case. There have been theories over the years that John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland, manipulated Edward into his “Devise for the Succession,” but I think it was Edward’s own idea. He disliked Mary’s Catholicism, and was doubtful of Elizabeth’s legitimacy, and he trusted Lady Jane Grey, the granddaughter of Henry’s younger sister Mary, to carry on the Protestant vision that Edward wanted. The problem with it is that it proved to be unpopular with the public at large. They had a great respect for dynastic legitimacy, and they thought Edward’s sister Mary had a better claim to the crown than Henry VIII’s grandniece. I find the religious persecutions under both Mary and Elizabeth abhorrent.
Also to say the Henry VIII invented a new religion is ridiculous. The religion was still Christianity. He made himself head of the church in England. That is not starting a new religion. The author should beware of making sweeping statements and placing modern day theories about the past.
@KathleenHudd thank you he was guided by Cromwell and many others who wanted copy the protestant church in the Netherlands.
Wasn't creating anything.
And Henry was always a Christian at heart. This was one massive dummy spit out at the pope. But a very bloody one. It also didn't help how wealthy the church had become. And Henry needed money for his wars in France. So used that as another excuse. Which Cromwell helped him with as he hated the church.
Yeah he was a small child didn't get up to anything.
And yes his uncle was the problem.
And of course Henry spoilt the boy. 1st boy to survive.
AI like this, with at least one glaring inaccuracy, is an insult to our intelligence. It is a waste of our time and fills the heads of our less informed friends and neighbors with bad information. Edward may have been a real brat and a danger to the nation but many commenters noted the inexcusable falsehood of Catherine of Aragon having been executed. I'm beginning to think that our only course of action to protect ourself from this kind shoddy history is to "dislike" it and block the poster.
Or, seek the Living God, Yeshua, Jesus the Christ. He will not lie or deceive. It’s interesting; the second city Yah, the Most High, had Joshua conquer and destroy was named “Ai”. Amazing, right? It will be destroyed again.
The narrator just put the deaths of the first two wives together as a short list! And it’s true: one divorce, one execution. He didn’t specify which was which.
I'm wondering how much of the blame can be laid at the feet of AI?
It's not at all odd that Edward should have everything an exact duplicate of his father's.
It was common practice, even in their queens courts.
Daughters and favorite concubines wore exact duplicates of what the queen wore, minus crown.
Henry did not 'create his own religion'. He simply told everyone HE was head of the Catholic church in England from now on, not the Pope because the Pope would not end his marriage to Katherine of Aragon, born Spanish royalty and the Pope preferred weak England as an enemy rather than powerful Spain. As usual it was all down to power politics and self-interest.
Henry dissolved the monasteries simply to get hold of their riches and land. He was such a spendthrift that he always needed money. Henry, in fact, wanted no truck with the 'protestants', those who wanted to reform the Catholic church.
To the end of his days he carried on in the same religion he had been born into. Edward was a different matter entirely, but he died. Making silly statements like yours simply confuses people.
Sir .. Katherine of Aragon's brother wasn't even alive at that point...it was her Nephew Charles V that was holy Roman Emperor..Joanna was his mother Katherine 's sister
It's more complex than that.
@@EwanCummins meh something like that
I'm pretty sure that Parliament passed a law establishing Henry as head of the Church of England. It was called, The Supremacy Act. This act terminated the Pope's authority in England, and while the Pope's authority was spiritual in theory, in reality, it was also temporal because the popes taxed English subjects and exercised other temporal powers. Yes, Henry and Cromwell looted the monasteries, but the loot wasn't loot. It belonged to them. People played for keeps in those days.
I do think that Henry suffered some kind of injury, possibly from that jousting tournament in which he was unhorsed. That would explain in part his many acts of cruelty thereafter.
I hate AI art
Agreed plus there's literally portraits of Edward- it'd be one thing if there wasn't but there is so this is moot.
Same I prefer old painted portraits . 0:04
Bye!!!!
Haha. Good one. It was a very creepy comment. So bye was the appropriate response 😂 @StephanieFlynn-y3i
Omg, yeah. Many likenesses- but we are all at the mercy of cyber- things.
Absolutely no evidence here of him being a brat or of having 'dark' side.
He didn't ask for the clothes or forks!
Lady Jane Grey was brought up with Edward. They were close. Mary offered to spare her if she converted to Catholicism... She died a protestant martyr.
I've learned more accurate history from the comments than the video.🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am watching this in Britain and rolling my eyes!
Henry VIII was not a Protestant as the Protestant faith understands it. Henry had many protestants burned for their faith.
Edward was the King of England who advanced the English Reformation. The Wars of Regilion that raged across Europe were a little more complex than the video would suggest.
I would love to know what research you did for this video. Wikipedia is not a good source. Can you please provide a list of your reading for this video.
Edward has been hailed as a King beyond his years. If he would have survived, his sister Mary would not have earned her name "Bloody Mary" because she burned so many Protestants. We can never forget Edward was young, but young people were expected to mature a lot more quickly.
I also believe that there is no evidence to suggest Edward was poisoned.
I don't like Edward VI but his upbringing is a lot to blame. A shame good Queen Mary didn't live longer, then we had the heretic Elizabeth I.
@marcokite It may surprise you that Elizabeth I tried to introduce religious tolerance in Britain. However, assassination attempts and plots by Roman Catholics led to the religious prosecution of Catholics. These plots were part of a RC Counter Reformation, largely sponsored by Spain and RC Europe.
Author of the script should try reading a book or two about the Tudors instead of relying on Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is far better than this.
He was child - he did not live long enough to reign. the grim and gruesome events you speak of were down to his Regent, not him.
The misinformation though eek
😂😂😂😂This is total crap😂😂😂😂 some poor kid is gonna use your slapstick Tudor history in a project 😂😂😂😂 F-
Jane Seymour gave birth to Edward V1. Jane died of puerperal fever a few days after the birth.
From the passing of Henry VIII, Edward VI was raised by his Uncles the Seymores who were more interested in lining their own pockets than running the country.
England hardly dodged a bullet by installing "Bloody Mary" after Edward died
She moved too quickly, and personal animosities caused her to make some errors in judgment, but she was trying to save her realm from heresy.
@@EwanCumminsI'm sure that's what Al Qaeda thought they were doing but it doesn't make it right though
She was Queen Mary the first, calling her bloody was the work of the Protestant nobles; who hated her for trying to stop the reformation in England.
Poor analogy
Poor analogy
Henry VIII did not “invent” a new religion; he uncoupled the English church from the authority of Rome but it remained largely unchanged in doctrine and liturgy from the Church of Rome. And he didn’t declare himself “Defender of the Faith”, that was bestowed on him by the Pope before the break with Rome.
Yes, and the reformers were pretty dismayed when Henry kept the 7 sacraments after he had made himself head of the churches of English. He hated heretics.
I often wonder if King Henry VIII was reincarnated as Kim Jong Un.
The slang and inaccuracies in this narrative is laughable. As a Ricardian, I hate the Tudors and all the evil mass executions they performed but get your facts right and the language more professional for people to take seriously.
One aspect of Edward's life that most agree on is that Edward was a scholar fluent in many languages including Latin & Greek. He shared his academic excellence with his sister Elizabeth. It seems odd that Edward's academic excellence was not mentioned.
I learnt the 'divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived'.
"Rotund father"??? Not for most of his life. In his youth, Henry VIII was known for his athleticism and good looks. He stood about 6 feet 2 inches tall and was considered a handsome, muscular man, often described as the "handsomest potentate" by a Venetian ambassador. . His early years were marked by vigorous activities such as jousting, which he excelled at, reflecting a fit and active lifestyle.
The turning point in Henry's physical condition began in his late 30s. A serious leg injury sustained during a jousting match led to complications that limited his mobility and exercise.
This injury, combined with a high-calorie diet-averaging around 5,000 calories per day-contributed to his significant weight gain. Reports indicate that he consumed lavish meals, often consisting of multiple meat dishes and large quantities of ale. By the time he reached his 40s, he was already showing signs of weight gain, with waist measurements increasing from around 36 inches to 48 inches.
Katherine of Aragon, Mary's mother was not beheaded she died in exile after Henry broke with the church made himself the head of his new religion and divorced her. It was common place for royals NOT to raise their children and only see them a few times a year but to get regular reports as to education and behavior. It was only the pore that actually had regular daily contact and really raised their children.
Kind of like our rich people here in the US who hand kids over to nanny😮
Henry didn't make or establish a new religion. He changed absolutely nothing about the Church of England aside from making himself as monarch the head of the head of the church, sacking the monasteries, and appointing bishops. He instituted no reforms or changes in liturgy or doctrines.
@Beez-k7v Henry VIII created the Church of England as a religious body unique from the Roman Catholic Church in order to achieve his goal of divorcing his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, and then marry to Anne Bolyne.
Although Henry did divorce Catherine (Mary's mother), she was not beheaded. She likely died of cancer.
I cant begin to go through all the historical inaccuracies, my A level history tutor, the late Mr (kevin) Jolly, a misnomer if there was ever one, would be rolling in his grave.
There are 37k+ users regularly listening to this sort of rubbish?
There really is no hope for humanity.
I did not think the prince was feeble, certainly not intellectually
Edward was raised by women. He had a governess until age 6. Edward at that age was placed in the care of his tutors. He was never at anytime with his father. He stayed at Hatfield which was well away from his father. Henry feared sickness and it was well known that children needed to be raised in the country side where the air was clearer.
It was the practice in those days for the children of the aristocracy to spend most of their time with a governess or nanny, and boys till they were seven, when they started being taught by male teachers, learning lessons and sports that were seen as suitable for an aristocratic man. Children, if living in the same residence - they were often raised in another residence in the country for the sake of their health - would be brought to see their parents perhaps once a day for a short while. Aristocratic parents were not hands-on. This is a rubbish post.
The pictures used are confusing, for example 15:52 picture of “Dudley” is actually George Boleyn, brother of Anne and uncle of Elizabeth 1.
People, if you really are interested in Tudor history, or any history for that matter, don’t try to learn it from these stupid TH-cam posts with robot narrators. Get a few books by actual historians like Alison Weir and others, and READ. There is a ton of information about the Tudor period, but these sensationalist clickbait posts are worthless.
Get BOOKS. READ.
Completely agree, beware though, it's a long a fascinating rabbit hole you'll be drawn into
David Starkey is the author to read about serious accurate history, not this clickbait sensational, inaccurate rubbish churned out by this channel.
Wasn't 'rotund Henry VIII' actually a sports fan until he suffered a serious injury while jousting, or something? That's what I seemed to remember from a documentary I saw a long time ago, but maybe I'm wrong?
He was quite athletic when younger. But a jousting accident left him with a chronic infection. The concussion seems to have triggered a profound personality change.
@@lindaterrell5535 Thank you for confirming! I also seem to remember that it was speculated that the jousting accident caused weight gain, which may, in turn, may have caused diabetes or something. So Henry VIII, seen as a villain, may actually have been a tragic figure.
You are quite right. Henry loved and excelled in all sport, but suffered a severe head injury while jousting.
@@lindaterrell5535that's my theory.
Your'e not wrong, apparently he was extremly good looking and "jock like", a "greek god" some compared him to. He did'nt age well but who does
I thought Henry's widow married Thomas Seymour and bore him a child, dying afterwards. That man also was trying to bed Edward's sister, the future Elizabeth the First...
Catherine Parr did marry Thomas Seymour. She died giving birth to their daughter, who sadly likely died very young as well as there is no record regarding what happened to her.
Pedo phil ia
when he crept in his stepdaugher's bedchamber every mirning to creep on her.
The same when he tied her to a tree and cut her clothes to ribbons whilst her stepmother laughing, looked on.
'Tried to bed her' makes it sound like equals
not in loco parentis middle age step father, orphaned child, spineless or twisted, complicit step'mother'
Correct
There’s a short record- Catherine Parr’s baby daughter was taken in by Katherine Willoughby, the 4th wife of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. It’s assumed the child didn’t live very long, because there is no further record of her.
You are totally correct. Thomas Seymour married Katherine Parr, she died after giving birth to a baby girl Mary who is thought to have died aged about two. Thomas Seymour flirted dangerously with the young Elizabeth, eventually being executed for treason in 1549.
Interest in astrology and magic was perfectly normal, and common at the time. Lots of other factual mistakes.
The 2022 showtime series “Becoming Elizabeth” made efforts to portray Edward in a more realistic manner and how his father’s influence shaped the teenage King. They captured his volatile temper a trait he inherited from Henry 8 and his court shared similarities with his father’s ruthless court politics. Unfortunately the series was cancelled due to low viewership and would have loved to see the succession crisis he created unfold.
Wow, why do people do these shows without doing research research research?
The video doesn't show how Edward was such a bad person. Click bait history here.
Henry VIII had sons within marriage previously, but they died within days or weeks. He had an illegitimate son (Henry Fitzroy) who survived to age 17 before dying in 1536.
Royal children didnt live with their parents, but in their own separate houses. Henry's six wives were 1.divorced 2.beheaded 3.died 4.divorced 5.beheaded 6.survived.......
Well technically it should be 1.divorced 2.annulled/beheaded 3. Died 4. Annulled/Survived 5.Annulled/beheaded 6.Survived (just)
Apparently Anne of Cleves, Henry's discarded 4th wife became good friends with Henry, and it was said that he regretted getting rid of her in such haste because everybody liked her.
She was known as the Kings most beloved sister.
King Henry the eighth didn’t create Protestantism, he adopted it.
He became head of the Church of England, so that he could divorce Katherine to marry Anne Boleyn, as the Pope refused the divorce.
The young Edward VI may have seen a Religious shift in England, but as far as Kings go, this isn't anything too damning
A spoiled brat as a royal child seems like it would've been a common trait for more than not. His father wanted to give his son all the gifts a prince could have
Had Edward managed to grow into his majority and had a proper regency period before hand, maybe he would've been a decent king. We'll never know (though the Scotland thing was wild to hear about... dramatic beyond belief)
0:23 King Henry the 8th having a Simba moment with Kevin the Carrot.
Tudor dysfunction never fails to invoke intrigue...
This is a bit of a mess really!
I disagree with your truth. For his age is was a highly intelligent and well read young man. He sadly passed away at the age of 14. There is no way to predict how he would have turned out as a man 500 years later.
Edward died aged 15 not 14! October 1537 - July 1553. .. He.Was a highly intelligent young man and would probably made an excellent king had he lived.
"Your truth"??? What on earth does that mean?
There is Truth (i.e. objective reality) and people's opinions. Nothing else.
This is absolutely ridiculous. 😂
People fixate on celebrity victims but Henry VIIIs reign saw a huge number of "vagabonds" executed in the region of 50,000 - way more than average for the times, mostly turned out of the dissolved monasteries
I'm afraid you seem to be inaccurate on quite a few things.
Terribly stilted narrative, evidently read by someone with no interest or familiarity with his material. If you are interested in this period, consult one or more of the many reliable, well established printed sources. Any good library will have some.
Yes!! Yes!! YES!!
I don't like Edward VI but his upbringing is a lot to blame. A shame good Queen Mary didn't live longer, then we had the heretic Elizabeth I.
For those complaining about 'divorce and beheaded'.
Yes it is bad phrasing the connector should have been 'divorced or beheaded' to make it clear that it was Catherine of Aragon divorced, Anne Bolyne beheaded.
As everyone knows 'divorce, beheaded, dies, divorced, beheaded, survived'.
As usual a sorry blend of a few historical facts with a great deal of conjecture and outright falsehoods.
An inaccurate history of England by American voiced AI!
Your opinion is absolute crap. He was a genuine Christian teenager who promoted the reformation in England. Read unbiased history books!
The fact that you refer to his sister as the "infamous Bloody Mary" tells me all I need to know about your biases.
This is not the Middle Ages
Jane died from a post partum infection.
PSA: TH-cam, while a great entry source for couriosity about history, should never be taken as an accurate or irrefutable source on the topic. There's a reason you can't cite TH-cam or Wikipedia as a source in academia...
This is a good example of why monarchies are an undesirable form of government for the common folk.
Only Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard were beheaded. Catherine was barely an adult when she was executed, poor girl.
Jane Grey's father tried to raise a rebellion vs Mary. It became clear that as long as Lady Jane Grey lived, ppl would be inclined to rebellion...especially the protestants. So Jane had to go
Why do you put in a picture of Anne Boleyn when mentioning Jane Seymour?
Mary is only called Bloody because the Protestants wrote the histories. Mary was certainly no worse than her father.
Actually King Henry VIII killed many times more per year than Mary, and Elizabeth killed as many per year as Mary did. The only reason Mary is considered worse is because she picked Protestants to execute instead of the less popular Catholics.
@@alexeichoquet7822People, especially kings, played for keeps back then. Once Henry made himself head of the C of E, "it was on" between two regimes and worldviews. Neither could creditably claim any moral superiority to the other, and yet they did just that. But IMO, the protestant ascendency after Henry was largely healthy and inevitable. Elizabeth I was reasonably tolerant of Catholicism and a growing Puritan sect. The trouble came with James I.
Good Queen Mary!
Bloody Bess!
Not very correct at all.
If your looking for facts, turn this off and find a better one.
This is awful! Foul language, wrong historical facts, and just mean spirited. Awful!
Not to mention the AI voice...🙄
How so?
At 1:03 that's a portrait of Anne Boleyn, not Jane Seymour!
H8 did NOT start a new religion. H8s Church of England, that existed prior to its union w/ Rome, was 100% theologically aligned w/ the Roman church, except over polity. It became Protestant & theologically more biblical & more like the pre-Roman CoE under E6 & Elizabeth.
The Middle Ages? The Tudor reign was well past the Middle Ages!
The middle ages, ie: medieval England ended in 1485 at the Battle of Bosworth.
The middle ages was between 1066 - 1485.
Even though it was only mentioned briefly, getting the facts wrong about the death of Katherine of Aragon undermines the whole post.
What a joke
Getting Bloody Mary was a blessing!!! LOL
What a good thing no Tudor was able to have children after Henry 8th. Anyway. Catherine of Aragon had the second best deal of all Henry 8th's queens (the first being probably Anne of Cleves) and died of natural causes, surrounded by people who cared for her. Catherine Parr did not have a happy life after the king's death.
Are you kidding? Henry treated Catherine horribly! Kept her away from her own daughter, was stingey with money, stripped her of her jewels, titles, etc. 😮
@@valeriemarott1923 I know, but she was still better treated than Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard. Catherine Parr had a better life with him than Catherine of Aragon, but her life after his death was really bad. Anne von Cleves is the only one who was treated with respect for as long as he lived, and although she died of the plague when she went back, she pretty much did what she wanted once back home. .
@@valeriemarott1923 And Jane Seymour died in terrible suffering. So I will maintain that Catherine of Aragon was lucky. She must have feared for her life a few times.
So many crappy and, frankly, ludicrous images.
Once again, I come across a content creator who purposely peppers inaccuracies in their video in order to generate replies correcting them. This disgusting trolling seems to be a growing trend throughout You Tube.
A common death punishment of the time was to draw and quarter a person. So ripping a falcon into 4 pieces is in line with a punishment of the time.
Oh FGS. He did not tear the falcon into four pieces. That would have been physically impossible for a young boy. .He apparently tried to pluck its feathers, without success, as understandably the bird struggled and freed itself.
Henry and Catherine had sons. None survived childhood. They also lost daughters. The losses probably had to do with inbreeding in Catherine's family and bit in his as well. Also Edward was not all that fragile.
Don't know that you can blame Edward for everything. He had regents and guardians that made the decisions through most of his reign.
This is one of the most historically inaccurate videos I have ever seen. I'd list all the errors of fact, but that would make this comment 50 pages long.
Henry never beheaded Katherine of Aragon.
It was perfectly normal for royal children to be brought up away from court, with their own household, especially the heir to the throne. It was thought to be safer, as it kept the children away from the risks of disease living at court would bring. Henry and his siblings themselves were primarily brought up at Eltham Palace. They would join their parents for Christmas, Easter, and other festive occasions.
Of course Edward's school books were decorative. Books were precious back then, and many, especially religious manuscripts, were adorned with jewels. Also, the boy was the heir to throne, he's going to have things like that. It's not like modern times, where people want royalty to seem like ordinary people.
He was not into spells or witchcraft. The very idea is laughable.
Henry never "indoctrinated" Edward. In fact, Henry's Church of England was basically Catholicism w/o the Pope. When Edward became king, he rejected this and made it fully Protestant.
The Scots never agreed to a marriage between Edward and Mary Queen of Scots. She was betrothed to the Dauphin of France and sent to live the French court. Henry's anger over this provoked "The Rough Wooing," where he attacked Scotland in revenge.
I could go on and on about the rest of the errors, but really, I don't have the time.
Henry VII did not behead his eldest daughter (Mary’s) mother. Henry had her, Katherine of Aragon banished from court to live the rest of her life in seclusion, being moved from castle to castle, where she died at Kimbolton Castle with her head attached.
Good Edward died? For Bloody Mary--give me a break!
Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorce beheaded, survived. That's the order of Henry VIII wives and what happened to them.
Complete drivel
