The man who came to be known as King Henry VIII would marry no fewer than six times, in pursuit of not only a male heir, but also of love. It’s hard to discern the man from the myth. But it's easy to see that Henry VIII has become the most infamous English King, and is remembered half a millennium later for his romantic passion and his tyrannous rule.

Henry VIII did what he did and all for nothing. His dynasty lasted no longer than his children. His glorious successor was not his son but the little red haired girl that he didn't want who was born on September 7 1533. She was one of England's greatest rulers that ever existed. This little red haired girl ruled with her head and not with her heart. She had the heart and stomach of king.
From what I read he was very fond of Elizabeth until her mother’s fall. Of course, right before that, he suffered a permanent brain injury in a fall during a tournament. He’s personality, never that great, changed dramatically after that.
@@dvkaw7780 he wanted a boy. He was trying to secure the succession. Look what happened back in 1135 when a woman tried to be queen in her own right. I mean look what happened during Henry's fathers lifetime. Remember the wars of the roses? Yes other countries had women rulers like isabella I of spain and margaret I of denmark. But these were different countries. Not England. He really wanted a son to continue the Tudor line through the male line. That was his focus. Yes both of his daughters were strong but he wanted a son to sit on the throne. He wanted Anne Boleyn to give him a son that is why he risked invasion and civil war. He broke with 1000 years of religious tradition for her and the hopeful son she would give him. Not for another girl.
That's so eloquent ❤
The irony of it all 😂
His dynasty echoes today thru the break from the catholic church. Not the legacy he wanted, but one that has outlasted his direct ancestors.
The size of that codpiece is a giggle. Looks like a good place to stash the car keys.
" She's afforded a private execution " Gee, thanks a lot.
Monarchs are ridiculous as is all absolute power! Law and order yes, Kings are and will forever be man’s misfortune.
I love that his daughter ended his dynasty by not marrying 😂
ironic isn't it.
What’s more ironic is the battle between Elizabeth and Mary Queen of Scotts and then it all goes to Mary’s son anyway!
@@positiverecoverywithcorinna right?! lol
@@Jackie.D329🤦🏻♀️🤣
@@positiverecoverywithcorinna Mary in the afterlife: after all that?!! Really girl?! Smh.
Correction. The henry the great ship did not weight 1000 tons instead had a capacity of one thousand tons. One Ton means to hold 100 cubic feet water is equal to one ton.
Henry VIII…the first man to ever wear Mary Jane’s 🤭
If he was alive, there would't be tabloids, paparazzos or nutmeg 😂
Henry could have had his daughter Mary marry an English noble and Mary's son could be heir to the Tudor dynasty.
@@neptunedawn7121Mary did in fact marry to a prince of Spain, a close cousin, and had several phantom pregnancies or else miscarrys once and a phantom pregnancy that are documented. Elizabeth the first having watched what happened with her father, sister, and brother she refused to marry and decided that she would find a relative to rule after her which leads to James the first of England and third of Scotland. Henry tried to marry Mary off but couldn't find a good protestant prince. He was also severely worried about his own son and preparing him for kingship to worry too much about his two daughters that were pointless to the line of inheritance to the crown, or so he thought. Edward didn't make it a woman successor until he was dying and it wasn't his own sisters because neither swore allegiance to him.
@@automechs360Ectopic pregnancies.
"as a man he was intelligent but vain, hotheaded but benevolent. As a husband he was generous and kind" Wow - what a joke!! This guy was an idiot who was ruled by his lust and insane need for a male heir. He treated Katherine of Aragon horribly, even though she helped him at every turn. He made sure that she didn't see her daughter for years before she died. He married a teenager, ruined her life and then had her beheaded - these are just a few of the horrible things he did. He was a tyrant who would turn on a dime and got rid of anyone who opposed him or disagreed with him. One of the worst rulers of England.
change the narrator to British..
Cromwell did not become Lord Chancellor. Otherwise, this is an excellent summary of Henry VIII. Well done!
At 20:30 it mentions that Thomas More was replaced as the Lord Chancellor. I don't know how that missed the edit room. It's Thomas Cromwell. Thomas More was long dead by that time.
actually it's Thomas Wolsey as that's who they are talking about at that time in the video
@@Pixiestix4681 Thomas Wolsey dies on the way to his trial. Thomas Cromwell is replaced as Lord Chancellor. The next section after correctly discusses Thomas Cromwell who then brought about the fall of Anne Boleyn.
@Viscount3 when wolsey falls- Moore is appointed chancellor. Moore doesn't die until Anne is almost queen. Thomas Cromwell isn't replaced until Anne of Cleaves is divorced. Check your facts. It's wrong yes but you're still staying the wrong person.
@@Pixiestix4681 Perhaps you're right and I'm getting confused on the wording. Too many Thomas' to keep track of although they all lived very interesting lives and more or less ended up in the same spot at the end.
I love history, but how many Tudor documentaries can they keep wash, rinse and repeat? The Shakespeare Tudor propaganda still reigns in the modern era of 2024 lol 😂
Henry's dynasty did not end with Elizabeth but with his son Edward. No child born of Mary or Elizabeth could bear the Tudor name. Any child born of the sisters would bear the husband's name. I am amazed how people overlook that surnames in that time were patrilineal. Henry's first child Mary followed Edward on the throne. It was Mary who laid the foundations for much of what Elizabeth achieved.
I don’t understand why Henry was actually surprised when poor Jane Seymour died and I used the term loosely poured. She was cheating with Henry while he was still a married man to Ann did he really expect things to go his way all hunky-dory after he had an beheaded for doing nothing. She did not do those crimes and he knew it. There was no evidence at all. They never found any evidence of her adultbehavior
Great program 😊❤
CORRECTION - Henry executed 72,000 of his own subjects.
Henry did all that if u stoped being so blind in wanting a son his daughter Mary could have married young produced children if he didn’t kill his two wife’s Elizabeth probably wouldn’t have been scared to Marry mary Tudor could have even became queen and his dynasty could have continued but instead he wanted to do all that just to have a son that didn’t even last to adult age
You forget that up to his time there had not been a successful queen of england. Not one that did not bring war behind her. He was not alone in thinking that there had to be a man on the throne of england.
Some seem to assume Henry was some sort of monster for his efforts to produce a male heir. I find that assessment rather dim. It was the king's primary duty because a male heir was the best means to secure the future peace of the realm. Ego and lust were no doubt a factor but nowhere near the priority.
Isn’t being a tyrant a prerequisite to becoming a King?
Historians are boring and add little in this one. There are millions of bio videos, was hoping for a little more engagement besides he loved sports, is handsome, etc.
They were bastards, every single one of them.
There are debates on how Arthur died. I've only seen a few secondary sources that list local sweating sickness, but I don't see any primary sources. Anyone have info?
Look at how Prince Edward died also Henry Fitzroy. As well as Henry Vll. Weak lungs. It's alluded that all of them died from TB.
The earliest primary source comes from a larger document called: *_"The Receyt of the Ladie Kateryne."_* Which was written at least four months after the death of Arthur, and possibly written by John Writhe, Garter King of Arms. This account described Arthur's death as: *_".. .. the most pitiful disease and sickness that with so sore and great violence had battled and driven, in the singular parts of him inward, [so] that cruel and fervent enemy of nature, the deadly corruption, did utterly vanquish and overcome the pure and friendful blood, without all manner of physical help and remedy."_*
Sweating sickness, was a disease of unknown cause that appeared in England (except in 1528-29) as an epidemic on five occasions-in 1485, 1508, 1517, 1528, and 1551. Prince Arthur died in 1502, a time when cases of this disease wasn't prevalent. Sweating sickness remains a mystery, as without DNA testing any hypothesis is just a theory. Contemporary scholars have suggested that the illness was caused by hantavirus infection.
The primary source could be interpreted and also misinterpreted as many things: "Sore and great violence," could be painful convolutions. "In the singular parts of him inward, [so] that cruel and fervent," could be a singular internal constant agonizing pain. "Deadly corruption," could be the four humours, or principal fluids - black bile, yellow bile, phlegm, and blood. "Vanquish and overcome the pure and friendful blood," likely describes blood letting. "Without all manner of physical help and remedy," means just what it says.
"The Receyt of the Ladie Kateryne" also states Kateryne & Arthur, both became inflicted with sickness at the same time. I don't know how her sickness was described, as it's behind a PayWall. But all later accounts should be viewed as dubious.
My apologies for the long rant of poor grammar in regards to your question, but OCD & Time allowed / prevented me from simply answering it without explanation. Wiki, Google, or others, state the cause of death for Arthur from much later elaborated sources and provide little to no reference from which their information was obtained.
HIGHLY suggest searching for the TH-cam channel: History Calling, and her video called: Tragic Death and burial of Prince Arthur Tudor | What killed Prince Arthur | Grave of Prince Arthur.
She is outstanding at finding & reading primary sources and discusses simply without prejudice in a uniquely calming toned down Irish accent any relevant faults or doubts in primary & later sources.

Oh fk this, , I've replied twice, , both times returning to this page my reply isn't visible or been deleted.
@@straingedays That's the way of YT. Once you get on their "to delete" list, very few of your comments will ever see the light of day.
If Henry were to be alive today, is there any more modern day/more current than his time (or present day) ruler(s) that you think is similar to him (or how he ruled)? Of course taking into account the modernization of things.
Putin an authoritarian who eliminates rivals.
Fat Henry looks like Action Bronson
The older Henry as depicted in this documentary resembles EVERLAST from House of Pain.
Fascinating so interesting, I have always been interested in the Tudor period in history 👍👍
why is this reuploaded?
KH 8 was a sociopath. A cruel man who only cared about him self. it is well to call him a Tyrant king.
❤❤❤❤❤
Some things never change in that part of the world.

Great video and first 🎉
American documentary 😳
He was a strong leader .... today's politicians must learn from him...
He was a self-absorbed jerk. We have too many politicians who behave like him.
CTE
Very interesting 😏
So much wrong in this video..... Waste of my time.... The Historian who put this together needs to be sacked and not paid....
AI crap!
Henry was really a good guy... women just don't get it with their toxic femininity.
I can't watch a Henry VIII documentary with an American narrator... Sorry.
lol ive felt like that hearing a brit tell american stories
I agree. It's just awful. The narrator ruined it. It's a shame, the documentary was good until he spoke.
Sanctimonious Brits. Ugh
That’s how as an American how I feel when I hear an english person talk about American history especially the civil war, it sounds out of place and cringe, an American with a slight southern accent will do for me like a James Earl Jones or Morgan Freeman
And how many Brits narrate docs about American historical figures?
