Queen Katherine's last letter to the King has survived. It is an astonishing testament of fidelity to the man who betrayed her.
Can't help but imagine Damien Lewis wandering round the set between takes quietly going "I'm 'enry the eighth I am, 'enry the eighth I am I am"
xentoip The funny thing is, he probably *did* do that ;) From what I've heard about him, he's pretty funny when the cameras aren't rolling :)
mallory marvin Did you see the video with wolf hall edited like a sitcom? Oh, Cromwell you rascal!
I would love to see that outtake! 😆
You've made my day! I can even hear the accent
One foreign ambassador is said to have remarked that during one-on-ones with the king, he sometimes felt as though he were about to be physically assaulted. The man's "presence" must have been overwhelming.
Beautifully portrayed triangle between a scarred Anne, a lecherous Henry, and an absolutely petrified Jane - all done with a flick of the eyes.
Jane sensing Henry's gaze is rather haunting, especially since you know her future. :(
i doubt henry sounded like this guy who plays him ! too soft spoken
Jane seymour the weakest Queen Ever
Catherine was the true victim in all of this... May her soul RIP
And their daughter Mary!
And Elizabeth
Amen
What was most interesting about Wolf Hall is that (for better or for worse) it gives a very different perspective on the same historical figures that we've become so familiar with.
However, Henry VIII is still a rotter.
Priyesh Soni well clearly no one knows him personally but someone who murders two of his 6 wifes can be actually called a rotter. He wasn’t a pleasent person and you don’t need to know him to know that
@Priyesh Soni The head injury isn't proven or likely to have changed Henry's personality, as the sort of behavior that happened after, also happened before. Claire Ridgway has an interesting video on the subject, examining contemporary accounts of the incident.
In short, Henry was a rotter.
The "morals of today" argument is dubious too. There were many well behaved and gentle people back then too, even among the monarchs.
I suggest you take your own advice.
Haha maybe bc he was that
@Priyesh Soni Strange you should call someone an idiot for calling Henry a rotter without peronaly knowing him, yet also say he was quite a pleasent person equilaly without knowing him?
I mean, we've had dozens upon dozens of kings and queens, with some of them being good, even. Henry was a pos, no shame in admitting that
The funny thing about Henry VIII's divorce is if he would have just waited a little bit longer Katherine would have died and he wouldn't have even needed to get divorced, he could have just remarried as a widower.
They weren't divorced.
MrQuakeroat Annulled.
Right anulled but still, if he would've just waited one year it wouldn't even have been necessary.
Maria Regina But there were other important implications from the annulment, eg concerning Mary's legitimacy.
MrQuakeroat The church law, from what I have read, stated that if an invalid marriage was made in good faith, the resulting children were legitimate. "Good faith" meaning that both parties thought the marriage was valid.
Still find it upsetting that 24 yrs of marriage and he can’t even grief over a large chunk of his life with Catherine
He did; her treatment haunted him for the rest of his life. He saw what remained of her in Mary.
Damian Lewis is a fantastic Henry Viii - he has the mannerism that’s I’d imagine the real Henry to have as well as conveying his power, strength, agility and height. Henry was by all means a very tall man for his time I can’t imagine what it would be like standing next to him!! What a skyscraper.
what do you mean tall for his time? were people inherently shorter back then?
@@Fondrom king Henry 8 was tall compared to the people of his time he was said to be about 6'2 many people did not reach those type of stature back then
@@Fondrom yes, they were
Right? Im only 30 seconds in but his walk, his mannerisms, his way of speaking really is pitch perfect for how we all imagine Henry to be like. Far better than Jonathan Rhys meyers who acted Henry like a whiny little playboy.
@@parissanders1800 Nutrition would definitely play a role in that. Being of royalty, he probably would have been given the best foods, (and he was also an athlete )- up until he got hurt and became an overeater.
This entire production is perfection.
I can't imagine there'll ever be a better portrayal of Henry VIII
Robert Shaw's in 1966 "A Man for All Seasons" is better, but Damian Lewis is pretty close
Claire Foy is phenomenal... cant even imagine the same actress played elizabeth ii
Superb viewing, I've watched them twice over and they are such brilliantly rendered shows.
As an act of final defiance to Henry she signed that letter as Catherine, Queen of England.
Lewis is so good.
"Oh, he'll have the furs..."
Baby Elizabeth is so cute and pretty. Curly hair is the best.
+jrmetmoi We're very lucky to be able to see Elizabeth as a baby. Very little film footage from the Tudor court of Henry Viii survived.
Michael Johns :P
Very good... >D
It´s also deeply important that they got her with red hair - already than a kind little symbol being her fathers daughter, all life through if necessary flamey and wild
Henry VIII did indeed read Katherine's last letter, and he wept.
It was a very touching letter.
Juanita Richards did he really?
Really you were there
How do you know? Catherine of Aragon is my favorite
Brandy H sources that were there said he did. However, it is also stated that those sources just hated Anne and wanted to show that she was the only one who was very happy; those sources might have wanted to show Henry in a more sentimental way, so we will never know if Henry did cry over the last letter. However, it is certain that days after Catherine died, Anne grew worried because she knew that Henry could do with her as he did to Catherine, and he wouldn't have the pressure to return to his first wife. Anne realised with Catherine dead her position was more precarious than when Catherine was alive because with Catherine dead Henry can do what he want, like getting rid of Anne.
Katherine died defiant to the very end!! A true queen of England!!!
She was the daughter of THE Isabella of Castille.
Luckily for elizabeth resembled her father, that is what "saves" her later on. The reformation of the church in England did not really start until Edward. The differences between the churches under Henry were minor. In public, Henry and Anne celebrated Catherine's death but in private, he mourned her. Poor Anne refers to the fact that she pushed Henry to cast aside catherine and she only gave him a daughter as well. 1536 is the year of the three queens as Catherine dies in January, Anne in May and Henry marries Jane Seymour.
Henry could not divorce Anne while Catherine was still living. The Pope had been pushing Henry to reinstate Catherine, and the populace still regarded her as Queen. But, once Catherine was dead, all bets were off.
I love the Tourdion in the background!
weird how claire foy's last two shows were her playing a queen. well anne's a consort, but still.
Not weird at all.
Anne how did you not see your end coming? Women always think they won’t get the same treatment as the last.
I love how he thought none of his wife culd give him an heir but anne boleyn and hreny daughter rained for over 70 years so in a sense she did give him an heir xx
The series is coming along very nicely, will follow it through to the end.
I love the music in this clip!
Henry VIII was a tyrant , but he was a popular tyrant. Believe it or not. Everyone was scared of returning to the carnage of the civil wars, and the only way this could clearly be avoided would be if Henry had a son. That’s why Henry made great use of Parliament , because it gave him the ability to show that the Commons were on side , through out the reign, obviously Some of this was done through coercion. People had felt much more confident rebelling against Richard III after his son had died. It’s much to great an undertaking to bring down a dynasty of male family members... It takes just one knockout blow to destroy a king without an heir.
So true after the war of the Roses with constant civil war there was a need for continuity no wonder Katherine & Anne had miscarriages can you imagine the stress to produce a son
I find it adorable that Henry would carry Elizabeth when she was still a princess. I, however, recalled he hated Elizabeth the most not only because she was a girl, but Anne Boleyn's daughter. So he kept his distance and neglected her all her years.
Despite this Elizabeth wanted to please her father and wanted his devotion and love like he did with Edward.
The music that can be heard in the background is a song titled: "Quand je bois du vin clairet." It is also a dance called a "tourdion." Here is an English translation of the first verse:
When I drink light red wine, friend,
Everything goes round and round
So from now on I'll drink Anjou or Arbois
Let's sing and drink and wage war on this bottle
Let's sing and drink, my friends, let's drink!
“Mistakenly” for 25 years she was queen and had a better claim to the throne than either of them
she may have been of greater royal lineage than him, but not for the English throne.
Gad to see someone playing Henry who is near his height, in the show The Tudors the guy playing Henry was bloody 5'9
The Tudors blew it - JRH is a good actor but wrong for Henry.
Haha I never noticed that to be honest. They did a good job casting tiny women as his queens.
Steven Waddington at 6'1", who was in "The Tudors", would have made a perfect Henry. He is also a red head and an excellent actor.
Ironically Katherine's death makes anne's situation more dangerous only by katherine being alive made annes sistuation ironically stronger - now Henry was free & immediately hes looking around again this time towards jane
It's written that his grandmother, Margaret Beaufort, (sp?) had a good deal to do with his upbringing - that pretty much explains everything.
I watched the series and I really liked it, Damien Lewis as Henry the VIII was a brilliant performance
Best actor to do Henry the 8th.
Caroline Corma8n still too handsome to be Henry VIII but more realistic a portrayal than in The Tudors
Henry VIII was a very handsome man, fit and athletic until he had a jousting accident. He didnt start gaining weight until after a jousting accident during his marriage to Anne.
Cromwell's facial expressions, especially near the end, remind me of a shark, smelling blood in the water. (6/6/2021)
Wonderful series, was enjoying it anyway but last night's episode (Ep4, "The Devil's Spit") took it to an even greater level!
R.i.p her grace the true queen of England Catherine of Aragon 🙌💐
Wow he is, better than home land
'Mistakenly'. Yeah right. She was Queen for nearly 25 years, and was the daughter of two of the most glorious European monarchs to have ever existed. She is more royal than both you and Henry combined.
"Glorious" European monarchs who sought to annihilate Muslims and Jews and unleashed the infamous Inquisition under the notorious Torquemada. If they were around today, they would be charged with crimes against humanity.
@@marijeangalloway1560 that's really not the point. I'm not justifying that but pointing out Anne's own hypocrisy because by her own standards Catherine came from a glorious monarchical line.
Preach
wish they'd continued the show with more of the story.
It’s getting a second season.
@@joshuawaring4180 can't wait then
This is like the only scene in the whole series where Anne looks remotely happy (until the end, of course) ...and it's because she's celebrating the death of her predecessor.
On the day of this scene 4 months later Anne was dead.
There are three roles I always wanted to see some of my favorite actors play. Angus MacFadyen as Robert the Bruce in a more realistic depiction of those times, Richard Armitage as Richard III (historically accurate), and DAMIAN LEWIS AS HENRY VIII!!!! To finally see Damian in this role is just...fantastic!! :D :D :D Whoever cast him in this, THANK YOU! :D
mallory marvin Well, Richard Armitage is aging out of the role of Richard III, especially as there seems to be no indication they are going to make any movie about RIII any time soon (not counting the Shakespearean TV adaptation). But if he never gets to play RIII, he could play RIII's father, Richard, Duke of York - if someone ever makes a movie or TV series that covers the early part of the Wars of the Roses as well. He was in his 40s when what is known as Wars of the Roses started, and 48 when he was killed. And RIII was said to be the spitting image of his father.
Yes, that's true, sadly enough, since RIII died so young, but yes, that would be nice to have Richard play Richard of York. Darn it, directors need to get moving on this!! :(
The music in this scene is excellent. Does anyone know who it's from? It's not in the soundtrack.
+Zalaz1986 Very old French "party & drinking" song called "Tourdion" ;-)
Brody is looking good :).
Henry read that letter and wept.
Does anyone know the name of the song being played?
Henry was the most spineless king in history…should've told Anne from the very start, be seen and not heard, otherwise get bitten.
Wrong. Henry had many flaws, but he wasn't spineless. I'm not defending him; he was a dick, but not a spineless dick.
As MrQuakerout says, he definitely wasn't. If anything, the opposite was true, he was headstrong to a fault, and proud.
Mr Hook Agree, spineless along with been gullible.
I'd have told Anne, run, run FAST and FAR AWAY. I know women were used like pawns by their fathers, but man, Anne had immense intelligence so why she didn't stand up to her father and go back to France until the King's attentions waxed upon someone else .... !!!!
So this is a series mainly about Jane Seymour and her family?
So are we not gonna talk about how Henry and Anne are wearing yellow...
Supposedly, yellow was the color of mourning in Spain. But I don't know if Henry and Anne wearing yellow was meant to show respect or mockery for Katherine's death.
Is Jane the Venetia girl in The Crown?
Spring Day Is Not Today yes she is
This actress is everywhere. Peaky Blinders, for instance.
Dick Winters got promoted to King
cool
What series is this
Wolf Hall
he would never had to go through 6 wives or gone through so many mistresses for that matter , when mary bolyn gave him a healthy and thriving son in the first place don't know what went through that man head in those days !!!
Henry never recognized Mary Boelyn's children as his. He did recognize Henry Fitzroy; if he recognized either or both of Mary's children, it would have been mentioned.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO I wanted Jane to get married to whatshisname..when does ep5 air?
No band of brother comment here
But WHY didn't they get those French hoods right, why all that lace fhs? It makes no sense at all!
Hey, it's close at least.
DEFENDER OF THE FAITH
Çok benziyor
I am sorry, but these costumers still cannot make a decent French Hood or a proper bonnet/frontlet of the period!
queen katherine who is buried in peterborough cathedral it says queen of england on her tomb i presume spanish mary or mary 1 or bloody mary had that commisioned when she became queen shortly after deposeing prodestant queen jane who was by law the rightfull succesor
Wont be long now before Anne turns into a six fingered witch and falls dramatically out of favour.
Unfortunately for her, thanks to this series, I have no sympathy for her.
Ali CG Well this series is not that accurate. Many people knew Anne was innocent. Much of the negative propaganda was out about by her enemies. Some didn't like Jane Seymour either, and some didn't even like Katherine of Aragon. But only Anne Boleyn's grave has red roses put on it every year on the anniversary of her death and have been for over 50 years. Don't take a cheaply made inaccurate TV series as gospel.
Juanita Richards yup~ as a woman I have immense respect and admiration for her. there's a certain sense that anne was a woman who was born before her time - she had too much independence of thought and personality for that time period. despite her short tenure as queen, she pushed for immense reformation within England and was instrumental in bringing visibility to the alternative, protestant approach towards religious worship.
Cecilia L Tai Yes, and she was ,more of an intellectual than the king. She showed him up and he couldn't bear it. He made sure none of the others had that intellectual capacity, except for Katherine Parr who became a famous author pf religious books, even arguing with the king over his reversing the reformation, and nearly was arrested for it. Henry taught her an almighty lesson. He was a puffed up egotistical bigot who thought he was the last word and authority on every subject under the sun.
+Juanita Richards Well, considering England, he was the last word and authority by the right of men and god at this time.
It's worth noting that Henry was considered a formidable intellectual, certainly a heavyweight in comparison to Francis I across the Channel, with whom he was often compared. He had been brought up in the expectation that he would eventually become the Archbishop of Canterbury. He was very thoroughly educated, engaged in scholarly discourse with some of the leading intellectuals of the time, including his friend Thomas More, and Erasmus, and wrote a number of influential pamphlets on various topics.
Anne was clearly intelligent, and strong willed. She achieved a remarkable thing, transcending the boundaries of her social status and gender far beyond what would have been thought possible, using the few tools at her disposal as a woman from a gentry family. But it's unlikely that she was 'more of an intellectual' than Henry, because she simply wouldn't have had access to the sort of education necessary to match his grasp of law, Latin and Greek, theology, literature, history etc.
They never get the women's costumes correct.
The costumes in this are a lot more accurate than the ones in The Tudors.
Cromwel...l. Fine ...thing...under the furrs🥰🥳
Anne bolden does not like her husband with other woman.

I can believe he killed my great grandmother through 15 times who is Anne Boleyn and I have her necklace so Elizabeth is my cousin through 15 times I have the b necklace and I wear it all the time
Lily Elliker it’s impossible for you to be a direct descendent of Anne Boleyn. She only had one daughter Queen Elizabeth Tudor. Elizabeth was famously the virgin queen and had no children so Anne’s posterity ended with Elizabeth.
Perhaps you are related to Anne by being a descendent of one of her siblings, but like I said it’s impossible to be Anne descendant.
Your. Not related be real. Now. And you haven't. The. Necklace. It's
