The narrator says Edward left the throne to Elizabeth.... Edward actually left the throne to his cousin, Lady Jane Grey. Nine days after she was coronated, Mary rode into London and took the throne. Elizabeth didn't become queen until *Mary* died.
@@cyberspelunker1980 Did not Anne give Henry a crystal ship with a lady on board being tossed in a wild sea? It was her first gift to him and her first acknowledgement that she had feelings for him.
@@cyberspelunker1980 Today, we exchange gifts on Christmas Day, but at the royal court in medieval and Tudor times, it was traditional for gifts to be exchanged at New Year. Gifts between monarchs and courtiers were recorded annually in a gift roll and tended to be plate, such as gilt flagons, bowls or pots. However, there are some interesting gifts when you go through the lists, such as a marmoset for the king in 1534, or the clock or wrist watch that Elizabeth I received from her favourite, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. One gift that appears to have been a New Year gift and that had very special meaning, was the gift that Henry VIII received in 1527 from his sweetheart, Anne Boleyn. Henry VIII described this gift in a love letter to Anne, writing: “For a present so valuable that nothing could be more (considering the whole of it), I return you my most hearty thanks, not only on account of the costly diamond, and the ship in which the solitary damsel is tossed about, but chiefly for the fine interpretation, and the too humble submission which your goodness hath made to me. For I think it would be very difficult for me to find an occasion to deserve it, if I was not assisted by your great humanity and favour, which I have sought, do seek, and will always seek to preserve by all services in my power; and this is my firm intention and hope, according to the Motto, Aut illic aut nullibi (either here or nowhere) [….]” Historian Eric Ives explained that “For centuries the ship had been a symbol of protection - the ark which rescued Noah from the destroying deluge; the diamond - as the Roman de la Rose had said - spoke of a ‘heart as hard as diamond, steadfast and nothing pliant’”, and in his letter, the king isn’t just thanking Anne for the gift, he’s thanking her for her “too humble submission”, her submission to his will. Anne was saying ‘yes’ to the king’s proposal of marriage. Ives and David Starkey also point out how in the original French, the word used for “gift” is not “cadeau”, but “l’etrene [étrenne]”, which Ives states tended to imply a “novelty” or “special occasion” and Starkey believes these were a specific type of gift given at New Year. So that dates Anne’s acceptance of the king’s proposal of marriage to New Year 1527, and would tie in with the king consulting people about an annulment around Easter 1527 and seeking a dispensation from the pope in August 1527. If only that trinket had survived! It sounds beautiful and it was obviously a very important gift.
Thank you. Not sure it's anywhere near the right niche but if anyone's literally obsessed with Tudor Era warfare I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's relative series. Keep up the great job
7:45 Elizabeth I passed in 1603 not 1601. 26:00 Elizabeth did not become queen at her half brother Edward VI’s passing, his other sister Mary did. Aka Bloody Mary.
And let’s not forget Lady Jane Grey even tho she wasn’t ever coronated and only queen for 9 days. I still enjoy weird history vids but it does make me wonder how many other things they’ve gotten wrong.
@@LisafromNOLA Correct. For those who don't know, you don't have to be crowned to be monarch, you just need to be the official heir. Our current King Charles became king the moment the late Queen passed on.
When Edward passed, he specifically left it to his cousin Jane Grey’s “heirs male”. She was “queen” for 9 days. Ultimately the throne went to his older sister Mary I
14:45 Henry married Katherine of Aragon because he wanted to. Also Katherine of Aragon did produce six children, and one of them, also called Henry, was even christened before he died. 19:00 Anne Boleyn was also pregnant more than once
@@Juanita-gf4teIn Lacy Baldwin Smith’s book she noted that Anne was seen as a usurper. The miscarriages were seen by some as punishment for her behavior,
Mary was queen right after Edward died, not Elizabeth. Actually, Lady Jane Grey was queen for 6 days after Edward died. Mary then marched into London, removed Jane from the throne, executed her along with some of Jane's puppet masters, and THEN Elizabeth was crowned queen 5 years later after Mary passed away.
I suspect that those nasty leg ulcers were in large part due to diabetes that just never healed. He was very large and he ate a lot of food. I’m surprised he lived as long as he did and didn’t die from sepsis or DKA among other things!
I for one do not care if there was a few wrong dates, I’m not going to be tested on the info, and I enjoyed every single minute of your wonderful trip back in time! Thank you very much! ❤
Henry VIII adored his greyhounds and kept a large pack of them. The white greyhound was already the symbol of the Beaufort family which was part of his familiy’s claim to the throne by his maternal grandmother Margaret Beaufort. His two favorite greyhounds named Cut and Ball wore elaborate collars adorned with precious metals and jewels. They also had tags promising rewards for returning the lost dogs to his estates. There are records of rewards being paid out for their return. Greyhounds are notorious for chasing prey so fast and far they get lost. I have adopted retired racers for 24 years and can attest at fast they run even in later age. Mine easily run 30-40 mph laps around the yard once or twice a week. They are also incredibly lazy. Mine sleep 18+ hours a day. Henry also paid large annual bonuses to his laundresses for the extra work having Cut & Ball sleep in his bed making the linens harder to clean and maintain. Being awarded the Keeper of Hounds was a high honor just below Master of the Stool. The rest of pack who didn’t live in his quarters had their own housing with servants, coats and sweaters (they have almost no body fat so if you need coat, they need a coat) specific diets and better living conditions better than most of his subjects. I can’t imagine his hounds being as healthy and swift on a vegetarian diet though. They are extremely sensitive and gentle dogs which I also didn’t fare well with his fiery temper. They do not do well with loud noises and definitely not attack dogs. In fact they are gentle giants often described as Velcro Dogs and the 40 mph Couch Potato. Mine do Pet Therapy work and my Archibald knows verbal and sign language commands. Archibald was retired early due to his XL size 94 lbs (as big as a Borzoi or deerhound) which made him too slow on the track but perfect for retirement!
Henry Percy and Anne Boleyn were never betrothed. This is a myth. Percy was already formally betrothed elsewhere and even though he didn't want that marriage he was forced to go through with it. Even if he had become betrothed to Anne it would have been null and void because he was promised elsewhere. Thomas Wyatt told us that Anne had a number of admirers and she kept them all at arms length, not wanting to ruin her reputation as her sister Mary had Later when the king was looking to annul his marriage to Anne before he had her executed he tried to use that rumour about Percy and Anne to effect an annulment. However Percy swore on The Hold Sacrament 3 separate times in an ecclesiastical court that he and Anne had never been betrothed. The king knew when he was defeated and he got Cranmer to find other means to annul the marriage which he did. Anne agreed to the annulment as it appears she was promised life in a nunnery if she agreed. She was tricked......

25:56 when Edward VI died it was Mary I that became monarch- not Elizabeth I. Elizabeth became monarch after Mary passed. (And let’s not forget Lady Jane Grey - after Edward - even tho she wasn’t coronated and only queen for 9 days)
@ferociousgumby The title of the channel is Weird History. That indicates that it is supposed to be history. I've been subscribed for a while, and yeah, they're not ever completely accurate. It's usually not so blatantly full of mistakes, though. So much so that I couldn't watch it for the entertainment it's supposed to be.
@@Ganymedia9for one when his son Edward VI died he left the throne per his will to Lady Jane Grey because per Henry VIII it was to his son Edward Vl and then obviously his children but if he died before he had any children then it was to go to his daughter that he had with his first wife Katherine which is the future Mary l and then the future Elizabeth l if Mary didn’t have her own children. His son Edward Vl was a staunch Protestant that he couldn’t bear the thought of leaving the throne to his older sister Mary because she was a staunch Catholic. To avoid another Catholic monarch he left the throne to Lady Jane Grey since there were no other males in the royal line to leave the throne to and she was also Protestant. When Mary found out that her brother died and that Lady Jane Grey was on the throne she rode to the Tower of London and while she was enroute she ended up with a large following because most of the citizens said that the throne belonged to Mary as the daughter of Henry Vlll. One issue though was that Lady Jane Greys dad tried to lure Mary in to have her arrested so that she wouldn’t become Queen but she was told of the plot enroute and didn’t go. When Mary 1 rode in with a huge following those who supported Lady Jane Grey then switched allegiance to Mary 1 to save their own necks which ultimately didn’t work and everyone ended up on the block!
0:00 A 1 hour special? A feast for the eyes! AND it's about one of England wildest monarchs! 1:04 This brings the term, "Handle this shite" to a new meaning. 4:30 But the shock upon impact got to be pain-ful! 14:08 She doesn't look impressed! XD 46:52 Makes sense. 51:04 LOL 51:43 With Henry being as big as one! 55:44 SHADE! DAMN!
I doubt _very_ much that there were greyhounds in the pack of "war dogs". Having been a "greyhound mum" for over 35 years, I doubt you could find more than one in ten thousand who'd "happily" attack a human, especially one larger than a hare. They're also too lazy. It's far more likely that they were mastiffs. They're generally lovely now, but they were bred to fight by the Romans.
They were probably kept for racing. Greyhound racing was the poor man's horse racing for generations, particularly in Ireland. Costs less to keep a dog than a horse.
You never mentioned how the Earl of Oxford farted in front of Queen Elizabeth I when he bowed to her he left court for a few years out of embarrassment so when he came back Elizabeth I said " i have forgotten the fart sir"..lol
It would not surprise me, given Henry’s diet, and excessive weight gain, if he suffered from diabetes. Diabetics have a more difficult time with healing cuts and wounds. I could explain why his ulcers never healed properly.
I have a Canadian friend who got mad at me after I lent her the mini series The Tudors. She said she can't believe her faith was based on someone's pecker... 😂😂😂
What astounds me about this period in royal circles was the intrigue & struggle to be a favorite of the monarch & have power. Look what it got them! These folks were primarily of the aristocracy - some not - think Thomas More, Cromwell, Woolsey. Yet those of royal blood were also wiped. There were many with better pedigrees than the Tudors. If I’d lived in this period as an aristo woman, when you had little power except your money and/or your ability to pop out offspring, I would have hoped to marry a country gentleman & avoid the court absolutely.
I love you Weird History but your "joke" about The Other Boleyn Girl movie is fighting words 👊🏼😂 On a serious note tho as a history nerd and Tudor nerd i'm well aware that it's not accurate (it never claimed to be and tbf is based on a fictional book) but at the same time it's definitely one of my guilty pleasure movies- nothing wrong with a movie/tv show being inspired by history you can separate entertainment/fact it's when they claim it's accurate that I have an issue with it 🤷🏻♀️
Awesome History! . I don’t mean for this to sound harsh, but Anne did some fairly evil deeds and finally got universal Justice. So did Henry for that matter……….
Wherever you got this story about Henry Fitzroy, there’s no basis in any reality surrounding it. Fitzroy was never going to be king. Even in the Stuart reign, James II was incredibly unpopular and Catholic…they could have made Charles II’s illegitimate son The Duke of Monmouth king, who was favorably Protestant, but they still didn’t go for it.
Today's Royal Fanily does descend from Mary Boleyn and Henry's sister, Margaret, but I would like to point out that Henry's can't be completely disqualified as an ancestor either. I don't know where this channel gets it's sources but Manu historians do consider that Henry VIII could have fathered either one, both or neither of Mary's children. The reason we aren't sure is because the timeline of his affair with Mary is murky, and there was never a DNA test done on either of Mary's children. I'm not saying that Henry 100% was the father but I'm saying that it's common knowledge that he can't be disqualified as such either. Therefore, to say that he is in no way an ancestor through Mary's children is highly inaccurate. I swear, this channel spews so many inaccuracies in its videos, man 🙄
Eating ANOTHER Weird History meal! Eating a It Follows Sandwich*†...and drinking a Baja Blast Mountain Dew*†...while watching this Weird History video! The It Follows sandwich is two slices of toasted Sara Lee Wheat Bread + Underwood Deviled Ham Spread + One Kraft American Cheese Slice + Stone Ground mustard - I ate this sandwich when I watched the movie It Follows. * The sandwich was inspired by the Weird History video "The Special Sauce Behind the Big Mac's Success" and Baja Blast (which has a Super Bowl Commercial with Aubrey Plaza) is from the video "The Bright Green History Of Mountain Dew" † Amazing sandwich!
It's far more likely that being knocked unconsious for over two hours and having a festwring hole in hia lwg for years was the source of his change in personality and tendency towards rage and violence. A frontal lobe injury perhaps. That its genetic is a common idea these days but id look for a physical injury to account foe these things before i shrug and say, he was born that way.

At 25:57 you skipped Lady Jane Grey and Mary I from the succession entirely, and claimed Edward VI left the crown to Elizabeth, which is wildly untrue
Not historical accurate indeed. But very entertaining.
That could be extended in a video about Edward.
And the little Christmas ship was from Henry to Anne, not the other way around. Historical inaccuracy is a pet peeve of mine.

She said she can't believe her faith was based on someone's pecker... 😂😂😂
A hour? Happy happy joy joy
Serial killer king
I prefer Drunk History to this weird history.
Henry may have been crazier than a bag full of cats later in life , but least he didnt lose his head , towards the end of his life
What astounds me about this period in royal circles was the intrigue & struggle to be a favorite of the monarch & have power. Look what it got them! These folks were primarily of the aristocracy - some not - think Thomas More, Cromwell, Woolsey. Yet those of royal blood were also wiped. There were many with better pedigrees than the Tudors. If I’d lived in this period as an aristo woman, when you had little power except your money and/or your ability to pop out offspring, I would have hoped to marry a country gentleman & avoid the court absolutely.
I love you Weird History but your "joke" about The Other Boleyn Girl movie is fighting words 👊🏼😂
On a serious note tho as a history nerd and Tudor nerd i'm well aware that it's not accurate (it never claimed to be and tbf is based on a fictional book) but at the same time it's definitely one of my guilty pleasure movies- nothing wrong with a movie/tv show being inspired by history you can separate entertainment/fact it's when they claim it's accurate that I have an issue with it 🤷🏻♀️
There were always problems between Protestants and Catholics way before Henry 8th and after.
Awesome History! . I don’t mean for this to sound harsh, but Anne did some fairly evil deeds and finally got universal Justice. So did Henry for that matter……….
Wherever you got this story about Henry Fitzroy, there’s no basis in any reality surrounding it. Fitzroy was never going to be king. Even in the Stuart reign, James II was incredibly unpopular and Catholic…they could have made Charles II’s illegitimate son The Duke of Monmouth king, who was favorably Protestant, but they still didn’t go for it.
Timeline NOW
Today's Royal Fanily does descend from Mary Boleyn and Henry's sister, Margaret, but I would like to point out that Henry's can't be completely disqualified as an ancestor either. I don't know where this channel gets it's sources but Manu historians do consider that Henry VIII could have fathered either one, both or neither of Mary's children. The reason we aren't sure is because the timeline of his affair with Mary is murky, and there was never a DNA test done on either of Mary's children. I'm not saying that Henry 100% was the father but I'm saying that it's common knowledge that he can't be disqualified as such either. Therefore, to say that he is in no way an ancestor through Mary's children is highly inaccurate. I swear, this channel spews so many inaccuracies in its videos, man 🙄
...Classic Fitz-Roy"😂
hearing the BG music 2:25 outside of a gundam review is weird for me.
Eating ANOTHER Weird History meal!
Eating a It Follows Sandwich*†...and drinking a Baja Blast Mountain Dew*†...while watching this Weird History video!
The It Follows sandwich is two slices of toasted Sara Lee Wheat Bread + Underwood Deviled Ham Spread + One Kraft American Cheese Slice + Stone Ground mustard - I ate this sandwich when I watched the movie It Follows.
* The sandwich was inspired by the Weird History video "The Special Sauce Behind the Big Mac's Success" and Baja Blast (which has a Super Bowl Commercial with Aubrey Plaza) is from the video "The Bright Green History Of Mountain Dew"
† Amazing sandwich!
Early gang🎉
It's far more likely that being knocked unconsious for over two hours and having a festwring hole in hia lwg for years was the source of his change in personality and tendency towards rage and violence.
A frontal lobe injury perhaps.
That its genetic is a common idea these days but id look for a physical injury to account foe these things before i shrug and say, he was born that way.
It might be an idea to study history before producing documentaries on it.
So Mary succeeded Henry’s son…not Elizabeth (she succeeded Mary)….makes me wonder what else the video got wrong….
Why is his title ‘Henry VII’ in this? I thought he was the 8th? Am I not understanding something?
Excuse me...the other bolyn girl is one of my favorite movies....
Imagine it being an hour long without the original narrator 😅
Well this is gonna be a Good Video 1HR LONG!😳 Let me sit down and get ready for this Adventure
Oops, you skipped over Mary I in the line of succession after Henry's death.
At 13:30ish....so he was the original Mr.Burns
