Oh better still, Cromwell got his own very well deserved comeuppance. Cromwell's body, was hanged, drawn, and quartered, and his body was thrown into a pit. His head was displayed on a pole outside Westminster Hall until 1684. All his work was undone, his son Richard overgrown, and the British monarchy was restored. Several of Cromwell's children faced early deaths too.
Supposedly, on first meeting Henry pretended to be someone else, but she rejected this ‘ugly old man’ saying where’s the king? When he said ‘Me,’ she couldn’t hide her disgust. His ego made it him rejecting her. Not sure of source, but IMO not far from truth.
It was a Tudor thing, really. Henry VIII learned this behavior from his father Henry VII Tudor. Upon ascending the throne, Henry ordered his henchmen to destroy all written documents about his predecessor, Richard III, so that no 'evidence' of his reign would be left, especially the good things, which is why we for example don't know what happened to the Princes in the Tower. Henry Tudor burned all written documents. Now the petty, vindictive behavior of his monstrously obese, psychopathic son makes perfect sense, right? He had to learn it somewhere. Also, the fact that Henry VIII was a tall and fat womanizer comes from his grandfather, Edward IV. Henry took mostly after Edward, and then after his mother. Edward IV was also tall. Actually, he was and still is the tallest king on the throne of England, with hs grandson Henry VIII follow wing. Both Edward and Henry had girly voices, were womanizers (although Henry was more of a mislead romantic and serial monogamist, rather than a true fuckster, which Edward definitely was), and loved to gorge on enormous amounts of food, which is why both men grew massively obese in their mid 30s. Poor Henry VIII DEFINITELY inherited tge worst genes possible, or their combination.
No not really. A narcissist would be more likely. A psychopath would have no problem facing their victim and rubbing it in that they got one over on you. Henry never did that. He ran away every single time.
@1123pio7 he was worse than a psychopath, he was a down man who murdered at least 2 of his poor wives & many more people, at least some 70,000 innocent people & he really deserves to be punished severely in hell 😢😢😢😢
Henry's younger daughter Lady Elizabeth had grown to love her latest stepmother (and late mother's cousin) the new Queen Catherine who had been kind to her- and that the eight-year-old girl's reaction upon hearing of her stepmother's execution was to declare that she would NEVER marry ( regardless of this claim's validity, she managed to stay single the rest of her life even when teasing rival monarchs to do her favors for her to possibly consider marrying them).
@@ruthbashford3176 That's a good question and I agree that virtually every woman who'd had family/friends who had gone through childbirth would have been quite aware of the risks. However, there is no record of Elizabeth expressing a fear of childbirth- and, in fact, when she was told of her cousin Mary's having safely borne the future James VI&I, Elizabeth was recorded as crying out 'Alak! The Queen of Scots is lighter a bonny son but I am of BARREN stock!' So, it's possible that Elizabeth had reason to believe that she had fertility issues. OTOH, she kept teasing male kings via dangling the possibility of her marrying them IF they did her political favors well into her late 50's with her courtiers even claiming that God had somehow miraculously preserved her body to be able to safely bear children that late! Of course, she often disdained marriage one time holding up someone's wedding ring and sniffing that ' I should call it a YOKE ring!'

Lessons to be learned from this. 1. Men, stop creeping on women way too young for you. 2. Parents, teach your daughters that nothing good ever comes from getting involved with much older guys. Most of them are predators who just want to use them.
@FredPorlock-1892 , consider that one of the men who testified against Catherine was her music teacher who admitted to what we would now call grooming and molesting her.

Henry wasn't supposed to be king as his older brother died young but without Henry British history might be completely different i.e getting rid of the pope.

You'd think her uncle would have warned her that cheating on the king was very bad for her health. I mean it's not as if Henry did not have prior form for chopping people's heads off. Likewise for her two boyfriends. Did these people have a deathwish?
A Courtier was someone who had a place at a Royal court. Many but not all were of the nobility, in Dukes, Earls etc. These people were companions or advisers . Other courtiers were ordinary people like soldiers, secretaries, clergymen.
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Obey them not only to win their favour when their eye is upon you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not King, because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free. And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favouritism with him. - Ephesians 6:5-9
and this right there is why mentally sane people hate and revile religions, as churches are nothing but instruments of oppression and tools for abusers..
Don’t you dare compare the two. Henry for all his faults actually did some good. Trump isn’t even in the same field. Because of Henry England had four Queens. Two actually got rule in their own right. One ruled on behalf of Henry while he was fighting a war. The other lost her head before she could be crowned and take power. Trump wouldn’t have done that. He wants to take all women rights away.
Oh my goodness! I can’t believe thatI’ve just found your comment! I was thinking exactly the same thing! It just goes to show that five hundred years further on, civilisation really hasn’t progressed very far with some folk! I wonder if trump will get so big that he’ll explode too?
Exactly. She wasn’t naive at all. She was at least 16 and had seen how her cousin was treated at court. She knew she was playing with fire, she was just not used to consequences.
Well her and the boyfriends were not very wise. I guess it's hard to be wise when you're horny though, as many I'm sure will attest. I think if it were me the very real danger of getting my big head lopped off might just keep the little guy from getting his way with the king's wife.

@@tonib9027 I'm sure "burglarize" is in the Simpleton's Dictionary as well. Happy reading!
@@huolalupin6008I wouldn’t know. Can I borrow yours?
“To put a crown on someone's head in an official ceremony that makes that person king, queen, etc. Some people think this use is not correct and prefer to use the verb "crown.": King Charles was coronated, greeted with great excitement from some but apathy from others.” Cambridge Dictionary
Has anyone noticed th resemblance to Prince Harry
Please, continue to do the narrating, you and the gent can pronounce the Queens English (King now) and not mispronounce every second word.
Henry had problems
he was the problem, usually.
Henry must have been Mexican cartel
avant la lettre, yes.
Very interesting piece of history thank you.
Henry the 8th.... Oink oink...
pigs are very intelligent animals, as such this could be an offensive remark.. but the smell is uncannily similar. ☺
Poor thing
When I was a kid and learned in school what this monstrosity was allowed to do to his wives, I wanted nothing to do with the English. Don't know why it hit me like that, but I figured any country that would allow it's leader to do that wasn't worth much.
Don't be such a stupid melt. Compared to the unbelievable atrocities caused by other nations across the world at the time and since, the English ( British) have been paragons of virtue. You should read up on history as you seem to have absolutely no concept of what has been going on. We had one infamous king and you go to pieces.
I am struggling to believe that someone could actually think that. One king who had men.t.al issues and you condemn a whole nation??
@@spanishpeaches2930 I was a kid, and had issues at the time involving what my Mom was going through. Thought those who let someone do that to a women was not worth much. Still think he should not have been allowed to do it. Still look at most royalty with disrespect.
@@phucdims1984 Castigate a whole nation from the acts of one person ? Who are such.people who would stand up to a mentally ill, tyrant. Are they the same people who would have stood up to Stalin or H./itl.er or Pol Pot ? A country like the UK has given the world every important invention from the Steam Engine to the WWW. Think on.
yep, and that's why people do not look kindly on murrica these days..
head of the Anglican Church. no pun.
Coronated? Isnt it "crowned"?
Coronated is also acceptable.
look it up, you have access to the internet, obviously.
the words both mean the same thing.
Enough of your man hating of Henry , whether it is Catherine Howard and others It is their family members who were so ambitious they would use their young daughters to advance their own position within the Royal Court?
Yes, the young ladies' fathers and brothers! Let the man hating recommence!😂😅
@ Look with what happened to the unfortunate Lady Jane Grey, I hate to expose your ignorance about British history? Unlike the left, I will criticise whoever you are wherever you are whatever religion you are if you are against the good people of the British working class people Margaret Thatcher knew all about this. Donald Trump has now appointed a good loyalist and I said the word loyalist to take over the FBI against the instigators of him for the last 4 to5 years.
@ yes, absolutely against women who have a problem with men, whether it is their fathers, their brothers, their partners are husbands who have a hatred of men they are called Misandrists. Do I hate them with every fibre of my body and what are you gonna do to me as per normal all verbal no action. If you want to take it further than that it’s up to you, we will take the challenge on?
@@valeriemarott1923😂😂😂
You'd think her uncle would have warned her that cheating on the king was very bad for her health. I mean it's not as if Henry did not have prior form for chopping people's heads off. Likewise for her two boyfriends. Did these people have a deathwish?
So horrific 🤮
Es ist kein kadavre zu erblicken!!!!!
What the expletive is a "core-TEER"?
A Courtier was someone who had a place at a Royal court. Many but not all were of the nobility, in Dukes, Earls etc. These people were companions or advisers . Other courtiers were ordinary people like soldiers, secretaries, clergymen.
A king's hanger-on, a "homie", with some king's, a noble groupie. All kings and superstars have them of one kind or another.
@@FranFinley-e1u It's pronounced COR-tee-er
a courtier.
look it up, or is your google broken?
@esmeraldaweatherwaxe970 The AI voice or whatever pronounced it wrong.
These people are nothing to do with the native Brits.
I've seen guys on #4
Hey y'all 😮
Maybe they pretended she was killed and stayed at the convent
and he was ginger... bit red flag there
So was she.
I think Henry changed considerably after his jousting accident. He may of even had a brain injury , altering his behaviour and mood.
David Starkey has pointed out that Henry VIII had been executing his friends before his jousting accident. The actual dates prove it.
There's also thought his medication after the accident contained lead. And that altered his personality.
Yes, i think long term use could be a factor.
Probably frontal lobe injury as causes significant behavioural changes
infections do drive people nuts..
it's why we started with the mandatory dentist check ups back in the day..
🤮
This guy was disgusting 🤢
The royals would do the same today if they got away with it😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Charles did. He just used a car
In fact, they are not.
@@MTClassicMovieChannel😂 conspiracy theories do not make a fact .
@MTClassicMovieChannel that is very good I like that, plus the fact she was getting to close to a Muslim.
Didn’t stop any of the women
like they had a choice, back then it was law to give the king whatever took his fancy.. if you refused you were his enemy and those did not live long.
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Obey them not only to win their favour when their eye is upon you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not King, because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free. And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favouritism with him. - Ephesians 6:5-9
lol yeah !
and this right there is why mentally sane people hate and revile religions, as churches are nothing but instruments of oppression and tools for abusers..
This is full of gossip. Not facts.
Please enlighten us all with the facts, then.
If Trump lived back in the 16th century, he would be Henry VIII. But without any semblance of intelligence.
Don’t you dare compare the two. Henry for all his faults actually did some good. Trump isn’t even in the same field. Because of Henry England had four Queens. Two actually got rule in their own right. One ruled on behalf of Henry while he was fighting a war. The other lost her head before she could be crowned and take power. Trump wouldn’t have done that. He wants to take all women rights away.

Clinton set an extremely low bar as a governor and president. Be careful what you applaud in politics - it sets acceptable standards.
Oh my goodness! I can’t believe thatI’ve just found your comment! I was thinking exactly the same thing! It just goes to show that five hundred years further on, civilisation really hasn’t progressed very far with some folk! I wonder if trump will get so big that he’ll explode too?
I always think of him watching these.
She was begging for it..she knew who he was
Exactly. She wasn’t naive at all. She was at least 16 and had seen how her cousin was treated at court. She knew she was playing with fire, she was just not used to consequences.
It obvious women in those days just wouldn’t listen
Kings don't listen either.
Well her and the boyfriends were not very wise. I guess it's hard to be wise when you're horny though, as many I'm sure will attest. I think if it were me the very real danger of getting my big head lopped off might just keep the little guy from getting his way with the king's wife.
I could be wrong but I think the videos narrator doesn't like Henry , and possibly hates men😂
hating abusers does not mean one hates men.
unless you are trying to say all men are like Henry?
Dreadful narration . . .
there is no such word as coronated , it is crowned
Coronate "is in the dictionaries", both Oxford and Cambridge, it is a correct term with plenty of history of usage, it is just less commonly used than crowning as a verb for putting a Corona on someone's head.😊
It was first used in 1682, and is def in Oxford dictionary.
here we see the sad state of some people's lack of education, shameless and brazen.
Tbh most of the Aristo's were pretty awful people so we shouldn't feel too much pity.
I see. All women are total innocents, victims of predatory men with no free will or responsibility for their actions. How come I have never met one?
When faced with a king in the 1700’s she had zero free will. He had 6 wives yet you still defend him. Maybe you’re the problem.
@joygimbel7760 The kings of the 1700s were the Georgians.perhaps you should extract your cranium from its hiding place and apply some rationality to your raging bigotry.
A woman or girl and her family could not say no to the king 🙄
So, he was justified in beheading them?!?! Yikes, dude.
@@DNADoesntLie You are obviously not very bright, but please try not to lose the plot so comprehensively. Catherine Howard was not a robot. She had free will and chose to use it to commit what was then, and now, treason. The penalty for treason was death. I don't approve of the death penalty, but that is irrelevant. Henry was justified in his actions,given the then current law.
Shame about the misandry, especially the fat shaming. Without condoning what happened to her no mention here of any fickleness and two timing of women gold diggers. Bias in history is not a good look
Gold digger? She had zero say in her marriage to a grotesque old pedophile.
Dumb comment.
She was a child who had no choice. No one could refuse Henry 8th. Sexually abused. She did not get herself into that disgusting "marriage". The king got what he wanted. How can you call her a gold digger when she was used by her family and others to gain fame and fortune for themselves through her marriage. And he was fat, in fact he was obese. There' s no fat shaming when you tell the truth.
Having 2 of your wives murdered is not a great look either…
Omg!!!!! So, you're JUSTIFYING the beheading of 2 women???? One, only really just a girl. FU. Love how you preface your statement with the useless words "without condoning," though everything you stated after does, in fact, seem to condone it. Ghastly! Women beware this man!!!! Or men. Either way: yikes.
