The MOST BRUTAL Execution Of Henry VIII’s Reign!

- Henry VIII is one of the most infamous and brutal Kings in History, and he is known for executing two of his own wives and around 70,000 inside of his Kingdom of England. He executed some of his victims inside the walls of the Tower of London, and it was there where one of the King's most brutal and savage executions took place. Margaret Pole was the Countess of Salisbury, who had royal blood as she was one of the remaining members of the Plantagenet family who ruled England. Her father also was executed in the Tower of London as he was drowned in malmsey wine. But during the reign of Henry VIII, the notorious King stamped down on Margaret Pole.
Margaret's son Reginald was a senior figure in the Catholic church and he became a Cardinal. But he was also the leading critic of Henry VIII and he also encouraged people to rebel inside of the Kingdom, and with this became Henry VIII's biggest enemy. But Margaret Pole also fell under suspicion, and with this was arrested and also imprisoned inside the Tower of London. She was around the age of 65 when she was imprisoned, and she was held as the King's prisoner for 2 years before she was then executed. But the elderly Margaret Pole's execution allegedly took more than 10 swings from the axe to take her life. It was performed by a 'blundering and wretched,' axeman who did not perform his job well. Today it is considered one of the most brutal executions of the Tudor period.

Margaret Pole's execution was totally unnecessary and Henry VIII must have been completely paranoid to agree for her death. She was completely innocent and suffered a horrific death, may she rest in peace.
This definitely was the most brutal execution and the worst part was he was related to Margaret. She was a fighter till the very end. Henry was so paranoid about her taking his crown. There was never any indication she ever wanted the throne. Henry was a monster.
That poor woman having to endure such a horrendous act of pure murder.
King Henry the 8th was truly a monster hope that he himself suffered in agony.
The boiling to death of Richard Roose was the most brutal by far.
Margaret Pole was executed because she was a Plantagenet and could have had a claim to the throne and this worried Henry as he was only the second Tudor monarch and the dynasty had a very tenuous claim to rule and virtually no Royal blood. Henry was paranoid about his successor so he had a very elderly lady brutally killed.
Also due to her son Reginald Pole, who was attempting to get England invaded by forces backed by the pope.
No royal blood? Elizabeth of York was literally his mother, the dsughter of Edward IV and the sister of Edward V.
Henry VIII's grandmother (through his father), Margaret Beaufort was a Plantagenet as was his mother Elizabeth of York. Ironically I don't know if the various last names that historians use were ever actually used in historical documents etc. The term "Plantagenet" seems to have been a term that referred to Geoffrey of Anjou due to him using a sprig of broom plant to show where he was on the battle field. Historians then apply this term to the English monarchs from Henry II to Richard III but will also sometimes insist on starting the term with Henry III and use the term Angevin Empire with Henry 2, Richard 1 and John and will act as if Henry 7 and the Tudors weren't Plantagenet even though the mother of Henry was a Plantagenet (she was descended from John of Gaunt, the father of Henry 4) and his wife was Plantagenet being the daughter of Edward 4. So perhaps it is more accurate to say that the terms Tudor, Plantagenet, etc from a historians' perspective are more accurate as a means of marking branches of the same royal family or possibly the different periods of English history. I honestly do not know if the term Plantagenet is actually mentioned in the Medieval accounts.
That's what you get when you think you're above everyone else. All so called royals should suffer the same fate.
Margaret Pole was murdered to send a message. One of her sons was on the continent making trouble and allying himself with the Church in Rome. Henry couldn't get to him, so he murdered the Poles he could get to.
And as someone else said, the Tudors were also technically Plantagents. As were the Stuarts.
Henry was a terrible human being
No he wasn’t
@@jayinwood647 Pre jousting accident maybe no . Post jousting definitely
@@jayinwood647 Executing 70,000 people and killing huge numbers in fruitless wars makes you a terrible person.
This guys bio should have been retitled "I Married An Axe Murderer".
With an Ax to grind ! True evil
70,000 executions- that’s like 5 a day. Must of been horrendous living in those times
That portrait of Mary @ 3:20 is pretty intimidating.
Henry VIII killed 70,000 people including many "innocents". A most notorious monster of a Monarch,
When Henry executed Teddy that broke my heart, he was a simple minded young man, in my little opinion, Teddy was no threat to Henry. The older Henry got, the more paranoid he became, such an awful, brutal tyrant
Sounds like the Hendrix photo on Twitter of being at a stove boiling something in a big pot ,taking his cigarette 🚬 and flicking them in the boiling pot ! I saw this after my late sons ash's where stolen. I screen shot all of it. Everyone knows what an Alister In there carrers did !
Teddy could have been manipulated by more powerful family members. Remember the princes in the tower. Henry knew exactly what he was doing putting Edward’s uncles on the privy council. He wanted to protect his son.
Was Henry vii that had teddy executed, he had a stronger claim to the throne. The Tudor’s reign started by killing a king and that’s how the whole reign went down, between Henry vii, Henry viii, Edward, Mary and Elizabeth executed 100,000s all down to paranoia because they weren’t true heirs. Margaret Beaufort has a lot to answer for.
@@Lorriemc114 very true, I believe the old king was in the tower then he was smothered., the Tudor’s were nasty and vile. I love history, I watch a lot of documentaries, especially during the Tudor reign, So many people were executed during their reign, and from what I’ve read, Henry and his kids died slow extremely painful deaths
@@theresareynolds3133 yea it really intrigues me I’ve watched stuff on the war of the roses and it’s really interesting
A psychopath and serial killer was Henry VIII.
I'd say boiling that cook alive was the most brutal execution by Henry VIII... I'd take Pole's death a hundred times just to avoid it.
Even if every accusation made against the members of the Roman Catholic Cleric were true the relentless persecution of innocent people who practiced Catholicism was so wrong and marred the reputation of Henry VIII and his offspring.
Henry’s daughter Mary 1 killed many innocent Protestants with hundreds being burnt at the stake…
@@PeterPeach21 She was wrong also!
@@PeterPeach21 Not nearly as many as the Catholics murdered by her sister.
@@PeterPeach21 not 70 000
Good afternoon, and Thank You. Checking out your new channel!
You know and correct me if I'm wrong but I think Henry had anger management issues. 🤔
For some reason of all the high profile executions Henry ordered, Margaret Pole is the one I feel most bad for. Such a sad life and horrible end for her.
Poor lady .
Geez , does Henry have any remorse for human life? Gee - whiz … he’s certifiably crazy.
Reading this stuff makes me so angry, and it's hard to imagine how brutal and awful things became for those who remained faithful to the Roman Church and the Roman Catholic faith, Henry the 8th was a cruel and evil beast, but the Roman Catholic Church in Rome weren't very smart either, and played things very badly, Donie
🏆🏆🏆👍🇺🇲🙏
Thank you for sharing.
The tiny mouths and bulging eyes are creepy and look like every aristocrat was hyperthyroid.
What was the hug fish and others you caught??
The older Henry VIII got,the more paranoid and bloodthirsty he became..rightfully or wrongly there was ,more and more,those who did rebel against his tyranny and greed upon the monasteries and wealth of the Abbeys and riches the Catholic monks had accumulated.Hiding behind his zeal to promote his church as primary across the UK,it was but an excuse to pad his coffers .And he took full advantage of his ability and power to eradicate any who point that out as truth or questioned his motives.To me ,this may have been a combined result of his massive head injury in the jousting incident and prompting by sinister self promoting advisors in his ear constantly feeding his paranoia.
More like 50,000 executions but who's counting. Everyone goes on about how Henry the Eighth was paranoid but show me a monarch of the time that wasn't. Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean you don't have enemies. Personally, I believe that Henry suffred severe brain damage in a jousting accident in 1536 and this caused his murderous moods. Poor Margaret....
No excuses for the tyrant please! He like all monarchs of Tudor times were just pure evil.
Who came first, you or "The History Squad" .??
Gruesome fact: Henry once had a chef boiled alive for trying to poison his guests and him, but he couldn't boil them all, BECAUSE TO MANY COOKS SPOIL THE BROTH!
But rlly R.I.P CHEF
That’s wasn’t Henry, it was a bishop or a duke that had close ties to the monarchy. Apparently the bishop or duke has opened his doors to feed the poor but little did they chef had poisoned the soup in the hope to knock the bishop / duke off. It backfired because the bishop / duke wasn’t particularly hungry that evening so evaded the attempted murder though that cannot be said for the people who ate the soup.
TOO
Accept no food from others. Shelters teach us that.
Blessed Margaret's fate was sealed when she refused to play along with Henry's divorce and schism.
And this man is the founder of English church--------
BLOOD IS EVERYTHING...FEAR ..THAT GOD CAN SEE...FEAR...WHEN BLOOD WAS LET...THEY KNEW ...FEAR !!!
She lived a privileged life off the taxes of the poor, she was no saint and should not have been sainted.
just because she was rich does not mean she was an evil woman my dude.
1:30....the York's were not enemies of the Tudors. Henry VII married a Yorkist, and Henry VIII was half Yorkist 🤦
They were still rivals to the throne. Henry Tudor (Tudor from the House of Lancaster) defeated Richard III (House of York) at the Battle of Bosworth, becoming the King of England. They were still rivals even though they married to create a unified house for England, ending the Wars of the Roses.
Also Henry VII killed Teddy (from the House of York) because he was seen as a threat to Tudor rule. So you could still say they were enemies in a sense, though they married for political reasons.
@amatulfulani6390 that is absolutely true. Good point thank you!
The portraits of Mary at around 3.30 show an uncanny resemblance to Greta Thunberg.
What does this even mean? You can’t tell somebody is on the spectrum just from how they look.
Exactly. What a shit comment
@@sandraellis7449 chill - you read and see what isn’t there.
Wow. Greta does look like her.
I always thought that to ! #jFeeeswotld
So Henry reigned over the coupe period of history! Not coup, that would have made sense. But it was the coupe period,, what with all those Tudors and all. If they had 4 doors it would have been a Sedan!
The MOST BRUTAL execution, of Henry?
That's really saying something
😬
..at the 🏰 *TOWER OF LONDON* 🏰
wonder what henrys been doing in hell these days 😂
He's right at home among the devils.
70,000 executions during Henry VIII's reign many of those at the Tower of London.
I read that in its 1,000 year history only 22 people were executed inside the tower - of course we Brits keep that quiet because it's bad for tourism !
Additionally, about 100 were executed on Tower Hill and not all those by Henry VIII.
So only a tiny percentage of executions were held "at" the TOL, but they were the most famous ones of course
I would not worry about monks becoming homeless! I doubt they were out in the streets!
The narrator sounds like a joke!
Henry the Vlll The Worlds first christian nationalist!!
What complete and utter nonsense. Don't use the half-baked buzzwords of modern day socialists to interpret history, you only risk making a fool of yourself.
Good on him 😂
