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.
This is the beautiful thing about the many channels having overlapping video topics; by the differing styles and delivery, we the viewers are given a richer and more expansive understanding of the topics.
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.
That was really an aesthetic standard of male attractiveness in that age, despite it being more associated with female beauty standards in recent times.
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.
Bud, if you really want to learn more about the entire life of Henry VIII, then I suggest that you check out Oversimplified: Henry VIII. It's another TH-cam video.
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.
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 ...

"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.

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
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)
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.
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.
Sponsored by the Royal Armouries! This one strikes close to home! I knew exactly which armour you were on about the moment you showed the arm. Of course, the codpiece would have been an even bigger giveaway, haha.
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!
Hahaha dammm bro I love your illustration and narration always makes my day after a long day of work especially because it's Saturday .....thankyou guys 👍👍👍
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

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.
@@sakataginko9092 To be fair she was a hand me down wife from his brother.

Ah yes, the giant calves measuring contest between French Henry and English Francis
Oversimplified
Yup
English henry*. French *francis
When the Pope wanted a war in France, Henry VIII went on a SIDE TRIP
So ExtraCredits is filling the blanks left in the simplification of OverSimplified's version of this story.
Nice.

Wait?
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.

"really strong jawline"

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
This was done with my local museum!
Oh i love learning new stuff like this
Wait didn't Oversimplified do a summary of Henry VIII life
Yeah he did. Pretty funny actually
They did
Yes, and Oversimplified punished Extra Credits severely for this.
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
The Royal Armouries museum is genuinely awe inspiring. I didn't think I would enjoy visiting an armoury so much, but it's just that good
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.

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 17th century is the new 52?
Victor Oh it wasn’t secular at all

i love how in the first episode on every series you set the theme
Catherine had 2 jobs
1) Secure Spain as ally
2) Give Henry a male heir
She failed at both.

Anne of Cleves actually got a fairly good deal out the whole mess with her.
Henry’s daughter, Elizabeth I, used the same comparison tactics with the Scottish ambassador when talking about Mary Stuart, Queen of Scotts.
5:44 Finally a good map! Even though Anatolia wasn’t shaded as part of the ottomans...
