Henry’s wife Katherine of Aragon also won a major battle against the Scottish in the north of England. They even killed the King and sent part of his coat to Henry while he was in France.
You do realise Katharine was never within 200 miles of the battle of Flodden. She was regent of England and made the sensible decision to delegate control of the army to the Earl of Surrey, an experienced commander and she administered England. Henry made her regent because he knew you cannot run a Kingdom from a battlefield.

That poor ambassador must've been batshit terrified during Henry's interrogation. He had to make sure he was truthful enough while not bruising Henry's ego. Oh, and based on Francis' suit of armor, he was roughly five inches taller than Henry.

To be fair maintaining amicable relationships with one's inner circle of rich and powerful friends and supporters is always a smart move in the GREAT game of politics and intrigue, unless ofcourse some of these allies become more of a liability than an asset.
The Royal Armouries in Leeds are amazing. As well as Henry's armour, they have a full suit of elephant armour that has to be seen in person to be able to properly behold
After this enlightening little arc is done, you guys should do an Extra History or Mythology video about the ancient Scythian nomads and how the inspired the mythical tales of the Amazon warrior women. I love learning about little bits of history and mythology through your videos and I think this would make for a fun subject to cover in the future.
Reneissance was a crazy time in our history : 1) pepole used large weapons in battle : pikes, great swords , huge windlass crossbows ... 2) the kings were crazy handsome and oozed no homo energy all over the place ... 3) pepole could go study any subject and enter in the top 10 experts in a matter of months 4) the catolic curch was an almost secular organization everyone can kinda go behind 5) banks could go bankrupt ... All of a while the 17th century was the gritty reboot ...
"the kings were crazy handsome and oozed no homo energy all over the place"... how do you know that. Bear in mind that all their portraits were partly propagandist. " catolic curch was an almost secular organization"... yes, they burned witches.

Fun Fact : Thomas Wolsey Was A Best Friend And Advisor For Henry 8th despite him Being About 20 years Older than him (so don't let the animation fool you he's actually Really Old)
Yes, I am so happy that Extra Credits is doing a history video about the Tudor period, my favourite history topic :) My only nitpick is that Henry VIII should have been coloured with red hair but it's just a little nitpick.
Hey extra credits! You guys are really good at making these videos. They are so informational and they have inspired my love of history. I’ve also watched all of your extra mythology videos. They are always great, always impressive so I just wanted to say thank you
The royal armory is an awesome place, I had the honor of going there since I was visiting a few friends who live in Leeds. It's a must see for all historical weapons/armor enthusiasts.
another great episode also the idea that a king would raise his legs in order to show off his calves to somehow prove he was better than another king just tickles me pink what a fun tidbit that was!
We look forward to welcoming the Extra Credits guys to the UK to visit the armouries. You must be good at swimming as the planes aren't flying. You'll have to spend a fortnight in quarantine when you get here. Spend your time sleeping on the streets as no hotels are operating. All to visit a museum that's closed!
When I first heard you describe young Henry and the "Unofficial division of Power" I thought you said Beer-ocracy. Clever Pun or Happy Accident it was great either way
I live on the South Coast of The Uk, and the Royal Armouries have maintained one of Henry's hilltop forts at Portsmouth, to the east of me. The main Armoury is in Leeds, several hours car journey from me, but i plan to get there, its on my "to visit" list.
Henry’s wife Katherine of Aragon also won a major battle against the Scottish in the north of England. They even killed the King and sent part of his coat to Henry while he was in France.
To bad Henry decided to divorce her by severing ties from the Pope and creating his own church, all because his dick wanted another side chick.

Thats actually Happened?
Damn I thought Oversimplified was making a metaphore joke or something like that.
That surprised me too
I was turned on by that
Tudor men wore tight fitting silk stockings in order to show off their legs and some men would even pad their calves to make them more shapely
That was really an aesthetic standard of male attractiveness in that age, despite it being more associated with female beauty standards in recent times.
Nope. Actually happened.
The Hapsburg presence in europe makes a lot of sense when you consider their motto "Let others make war, thou, happy Austria, marry"
Wow an oversimplified episode followed by an extra credits episode featuring king Henry viii
I don't know what's happening here, but I like it
Yeah

Cleary Henry the 8th is popular nowadays. I wonder why..... *Stares at Six the musical*

Na, man. He had the Hapsburg chin. The Hapsburgs were SUPER inbred
@@sumguy0110 "Mommy says it's a strong chin for a strong boy"
- Oversimplified
Dunno about chad, but he was the ultimate inbred
Konráð Ingi so focused in chadness was he that the rest of him degraded. At his autopsy, they found his innards rotted, his heart the size of a peppercorn, not a drop of blood to speak of, and his nards black and petrified.
Or maybe that was caused by inbreeding
Props to the animators for making Charles V look appropriately derpy compared to Henry VIII and Francis I
When the Pope wanted a war in France, Henry VIII went on a SIDE TRIP

Yes, people are allowed to cover the same topic, he made a great video but he doesn’t have a copyright on henry VIII
@@israelramos8828 What do you mean by this?
The Royal Armouries in Leeds are amazing. As well as Henry's armour, they have a full suit of elephant armour that has to be seen in person to be able to properly behold
When Francis allies with the Ottomans, I really hope they bring back the same design for Suleiman from their 2016 series.
Francis was really fed up with everyone ganging up on him by then. But France would end up being allied with the ottomans until basically WW1.
Altrantis Until the French Revolution I think, considering that Napoleon attacked Egypt.
The French did launch an expedition to help the venetians during the Cretan War of 1645-1669. Didn't go well. At all.

England: gains through war
Hapsburg: just inbreed
And diplomacy.
and royal marriage
i love how in the first episode on every series you set the theme
Yes, I am so happy that Extra Credits is doing a history video about the Tudor period, my favourite history topic :)
My only nitpick is that Henry VIII should have been coloured with red hair but it's just a little nitpick.
As a huge fan of the Jonathan Rhys-Meyers Tudors series on Showtime, this episode is giving me so many flashbacks to scenes from that series!

It is said that the whole peace treaty meeting became a leg calves contest.
The royal armory is an awesome place, I had the honor of going there since I was visiting a few friends who live in Leeds. It's a must see for all historical weapons/armor enthusiasts.
Catherine had 2 jobs
1) Secure Spain as ally
2) Give Henry a male heir
She failed at both.

I think Oversimplified put it best "And a chin that can hit a homerun"
Henry’s daughter, Elizabeth I, used the same comparison tactics with the Scottish ambassador when talking about Mary Stuart, Queen of Scotts.
"Tennis!" I can't tell if this is a game grumps reference or not
The Royal Armouries are great to visit!
Well, once the current situation calms down.
You should also do a series on Leonardo da Vinci.
