Henry did not divorce Catherine of Aragon. He had the marriage annulled.
That's incorrect, the Pope denied his requests for annulment for seven years, which is why the entire protestant reformation happened. At that point it was declared a divorce.
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely
Henry the 8th was at no point of his reign an Absolute Monarch. Parliament was firmly established from day one of his reign. Do you any familiarity with English political History at all?
Did you just make that up?
Why are Henry’s love letters to Anne Boleyn at the Vatican archives? How did they get there?
Probably by Royal Mail
He was trying to appeal to the Vatican to allow him to divorce Catherine to marry Anne Boleyn, and they would have been sent to the Vatican as proof of his love. They refused hence he created his own Church of England and divorced Catherine.
Easy, how does anything end up at the Vatican archives? THEFT- and that's when the British Museum doesn't steal it first.
Finally i just love this videos
He’s not orange enough
I don't think he had any connection to Holland.
Anne WAS SLOW AND DESPERATE TO SETTLE FOR HIM! HE WAS MARRIED HE WAS SLEEPING WITH HER SISTER ALREADY AND HAD CHILDREN WITH HER!
Anne really didn't have many choices
I think you are mistaken. In fact, I know it.
Researchers do NOT 'unearth' documents in archives. Archivists arrange and describe records, which enables retrieval and access. The researcher reads the records. Whilst the researcher might be the first person to interpret a document in a certain way, they do not discover or dig up or unearth the records. Without the work of the archivists, researchers have zero access to archival records.
The more I learn about Henry the less I like him. I think this narrator likes him too much.
I remember when my husband and I were dating. We wrote love letters back and forth to each other. One of his letters had the words, "you shot the arrow of love into my heart" We've been married almost 30 years. The love letters stopped years ago. 😢
It surprises me that no docs so far have mentioned his fall from horse was only 2 weeks after Catherine's death - hex on him!
This is what I don’t get. Why was it possible for Ann Boleyn to refuse Henry until they got married.?? But then, when it comes to Catherine Howard, they say she couldn’t refuse him when he had his eye on her because he was the king!! Which is it??!!
Probably because of Anne Boleyn’s fate, and every other person who denied Henry anything. A lot had happened from 1526 when he began pursuing Anne to around 1539 when he noticed Kathryn. He was a changed man, much more demanding, brutal and tyrannical. To cross him at that point would have been dangerous.
I think the narrator exaggerates Anne's influence on Henry. She tried to avoid him at first, leaving and going home from court. This narrator says Anne was the one in charge, but she doesn't give any evidence for that. Remember, he was the king. Any woman he decided he wanted would have a difficult time saying no. Remember he could give and take away jobs that people depended on for their livings.
Because henry wanted a legitimate son to be heir
@@dorothywillis1 As you said, Anne may not have been in charge but wouldn't her parents have wanted Anne to marry Henry in order to elevate their status in sociefy?
@@vickyabramowitz2885 I don't know. Most people would say, "Yes, of course," but we have no way of really knowing. Probably. What he did to Anne was unprecedented so they would not have thought it might happen.
Cromwell didn't manipulate Henry about Anne - Henry was having an affair with Jane Seymore by then; he wanted to get rid of Anne, so Cromwell was helping him.
Boy, am I happy to live in out Time…
Yes
Very interesting history. I'm struck by just how much the English people put up with. This is especially true considering how religious people were at that time. I guess the people of England had been selected by the Romans for compliance. Any non compliant celt was probably snuffed out quickly by them.
It makes sense to me now, how England became the empire it became. Empire, (stealing other countries' stuff) is only possible when the people go along with whatever the head guy or gal says. An unaccountable government has a license for any atrocity, and this fact can be clearly seen in Henry VIII's reign.
People regardless of time religion or ethnicity have been "STEALING" from those less powerful since humans first started walking upright!
Yeah, what’s new?
Put up with, they changed with the breeze. To this day they think the monasties where like that, they believe whatever suits. They are a prodestant country because their king wanted some.
@@ainekearney9041changed with the breeze? Over 70,000 were killed for fighting for their faith. They were also poor and hard worked. You clearly don’t understand how hard life was at that time.
Also it’s PROTESTANT. No surprise your spelling matches your ignorance.
You don't know much about history. Please be careful or someone will think you are an ignorant fool.
Distribution of pamphlets to the common people (25:20) puzzles me. Could these people read?
More than fiction would make you think. Founding a school was a popular thing for rich people to do. Some of the schools still exist.
Cromwell dissolved all those monasteries not because they were supposedly corrupt but he wanted the wealth from them for himself and what is so sad is that these monasteries helped homeless people it kept half of england from being homeless if these people were soooo religious doesnt the king know he will be judged for doing this its so hypocritical.
Cromwell was a reformist
Yep. But the person who got the wealth from the monasteries was the king. Cromwell was his tool. When the king was done with his tool he destroyed it as he had destroyed many others.
They’re not mutually exclusive… he could’ve done it to satisfy greed and reform.
@@SKILLIUSCAESAR lol rotfl LOL ROTFL hahahaha
No, the Parliamentary Treason Act is NOT 'hidden away' in the Parliamentary Archives. It is professionally managed by professional archivists, which is why the researchers for this programme are about to view it.
Anne and Catherine of Aragon could have been more happier with their first fiancies.
I would’ve desired to become the genghis khan of England 😂
Henry doesn’t divorce Katharine of Aragon. The marriage was annulled (legally, since it wasn’t by the same authority that created it?)
Bishop Fisher and the pope legitimized the Tudor dynasty so when Henry broke ties, did he delegitimize himself? On whose authority did he rule?
Part of the problem was feudalism had collapsed because of new technology. Henry was a big spender who bankrupted the country. Imo st. Ignatius of Loyola is the anti Henry. Both had a leg wound. Ignatius gave all away.henry stole everything.
What Authority do you believe created the marriage between Henry and Katharine?
@@wednesdayschild3627that was certainly the pope’s argument. Hence the excommunication and trying to put Pole on the thrown in a coup.
Cromwell literally cited some obscure ancient document claiming the divine right of kingship, cutting the papal middle man… I certainly understand why kings wouldn’t want to be subservient to Rome, tho
his WIFE failed to provide him with a son heir??? the child's gender depends on the father...
They didn’t know that at the time which is very relevant since history needs to be seen with contemporary eyes to be understood
It was unknown at the time. Looking back, he probably had some genetic disease and made it difficult for him to have boys or children in general. Look at how many times Catherine lost babies. I too had many pregnancies, never had a problem getting pregnant, but having healthy babies was difficult,
@@roodbennett very sorry to hear this
They didnt know that centuries ago.
@@roodbennettshe also fasted a lot
So romantic, a married man writing to a single woman.
Henry didn't believe his marriage to catherine of aragon was legal. The rc had previously given kings annulments for no reason.
Yes, wasn't it? (Can't find a sarcasm emoticon.)
@@deborahproctor9538he didn’t think that at the beginning.. but he was a king, nobody questioned his right to court mistresses. It’s just the way it was. Plus there’s his whole Camelot courtly love LARP, which couldn’t be more ironic.
Where can I watch the rest of the episodes?
Scroll to the top of this page and click on the Avatar on the left. Choose videos...then chose episodes.
Watch them here.
where is the next video, following this one? thank you
S the Vatican have these letters? They are Englands history & property.
After watching this docu i understand the behaviour of Sparry Harry (Henry) much better.
It's in the genes. Even the looks.
Unfortunately for Haznobrains not the intelligence....😉
They are not related.
He buys lots and builds palaces like crazy. Millions spent on his buildings. Millions as in our time.
He was a lunatic but I believe his behavior was colored by the traumatic brain injury he suffered in a jousting accident.
There’s no contemporary evidence of a head injury tho… that was started later.
Anne never wanted Henry in the beginning and she made that as clear as she could. She played her cards as best she was able.
He signed the death warrants.
Where is episode 3?
Any chance his after affects could leave the island of ireland please ? I have no idea why the Irish should suffer
What originally attracted Anne Boleyn to Henry, would be her downfall.
In my opinion you should do more modern ones like the Royals that are still alive and what they have done thus far!😮😮😂😂
I love the documentary, has minor errors. Wish they did not make Henry bald, never seen it in portraits.
Are they actually talking about an ex American president?
Clinton?
The Dorito Dictator hasn't been married enough!
Yeah all of them
@@bobslater4126 🙄😒 Really?
😂😂😂👏👏👏
Henry VIII was clearly a Malignant Narcissist.
BIGTIME
Oh, want to diagnose him from our perspective or from his own time, which is very different.
@@dr.barrycohn5461 his behavior was very extreme to his contemporaries as well
Cromwell is still hated
Henry was delusional. Lies about monasteries,abandons his wife and breaks from Rome but still wonders why 2nd wife is a repeat of his first marriage 🙄🙄🙄
Anne did what he said she did. They had witnesses
Emma Leavitt has the MOST annoying voice
I read somewhere, that she has hearing disability. That' why she's talking like that.
I have so much respect for her and the other historians. I wish I could meet them and talk with them. ❤
This Monarch was obviously an extreme Narcissist like Meghan Markle is today. So Many similar actions and worthy of exploration. I am a 78 years old man who was raised by a Mother who was a narcissist and have studied extensively about this type of personality.
Henry's letters to Anne are a treasure for all mankind? OK. if the Elgin Marbles go back will these letters come back to Britain?
The other boyeln girl
Dr. Emma Levitt has an exceptionally nasally & grating voice.
