The Execution Of Margaret Pole - The Plantagenet Threat To Henry VIII

- During the reign of King Henry VIII its estimated that around 70,000 people were executed inside of his Kingdom. This puts the figure at roughly 3% of the population of Tudor England meeting their ends in bloody ways. There were a number of incredibly high profile people executed by Henry including two of his wives, his closest friends and also his advisors. He tried to also eliminate any possibly threats to his throne that may have existed, and one woman who met an incredibly bloody fate inside the walls of the Tower of London was Margaret Pole, the Countess of Salisbury. Even despite being executed at the age of 67, Henry deemed her as a threat due to her links to the House of York.
This execution solidifies the pure awfulness of Henry VIII. Anne and Catherine being killed are horrendous, but this one angers me especially.
Write him a stiff note, then.

Same this one was one of the worst !
Margaret Pole quickly jumped to one of my favorite characters from that time frame. I greatly admire that she didn’t just lay there. She did not give up on life so easily.
Margaret was no threat to Henry and to have her executed in a brutal way by an in experienced executioner says a lot abot Henry,
She bore & raised threats to the House of Tudor, though. A Plantagenet to her core, she couldn't abide the new regime. That cost her her life.
Margaret is my 15-times great-grandmother. Margaret is my middle name, and I was told that it's been passed down for many generations, but nobody in my family seemed to know from whom. Thank you for covering her story.
lol
Wow! So you are part Plantagenet? Cool. I share her birthday 14th August.
@@tobiasvonfalkenskiold5538stop lying
She's my 14th great grandmother. Hey cousin. Lol
She's my 14th great-gramdmother!
I once heard Henry VIII referred to as the most prolific serial killer in Western history.
Henry didn't suffer nearly enough to make up for his evil ways. There was very little justice at all.
Perhaps God rendered the judgement on Henry's soul.
Tyrant
The Brits are proud of this monster
@peterliebe829 not me and I come from Henry VII his dad from my maternal grandfather
@@peterliebe829no they're not.
I was so annoyed when i learnt what Henry did to Margaret!! She was a part of his life from childhood and he treated her horribly.
She raised her children to be active threats to the recently-created Tudor regime. Any monarch worth their salt would seek to eliminate threats to their House (unless, perhaps, Henry had been gifted with several healthy sons.)
@bluerock4456 whilst all that is true...she was still part of Henry's childhood and she was the cousin and close friend to his mother. He should have respected her! It don't matter now it's history 🙂
He was a monster and will be remembered as one!!!😡
@@beckyboo5097 Becky, Margaret Pole didn't respect her king; why should he respect her?
"Annoyed?"
I get "annoyed" when my dog barks at a car passing. Henry's treatment of Margaret was an outrage.
Let’s be honest, Henry didn’t have Margaret executed because he wanted to stamp out any Yorkist claimants to the throne. At the time, there had never even been a Queen that had ruled in her own right, nor was it clear that one could do so. Henry had her executed for the simple point of revenge. He was infuriated by the unending barrage of renunciations and challenges to the legitimacy of his religious authority and administration over the Church of England, coming from Margaret’s son, Reginald. But Reginald was safe in Italy, where Henry couldn’t get to him, that is why Margaret was made to suffer.
it was so cruel how she perished, her poor brother Edward as well, implicated in the Perkin Walbeck plot against Henry 7th. A tragic family
As well as her parents deaths when she was very young.
I always learn from your films
Would you agree, Henry VIII had her killed to spite her son Reginald?
Poor Margaret, she did not have an easy life and her end was just barbaric! Reginald was a cad, through and through. He must have made a wonderfully supportive Cardinal - pigs. 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
Henry was a totally evil person
During his reign
here was around 72,000 people executed he was responsible for up to 57,000 of these
I never understood why he executed Lady Salisbury. She was too old to have children, and he executed Lord Montagu. Arthur had already died and Geoffrey was released after testifying against Pole & Montagu. He also released Lady Exeter. I can only surmise that it was to spite Reginald, who was writing pamphlets against Henry on the Continent. And the way he did it was like an afterthought. Cromwell was already dead so he can’t be blamed.
hello , horrible beyond the pale....henry was a demon . not only was margaret a plantagenet threat , but she was also richer than henry🤔🤔🤔🤔 . great share , thank you , for sharing
So he absorbed all Margaret’s wealth then?
Horrible man, that King Henry VIII.
It is said that Henry VIII was in great physical pain in the years before his death. Let's just hope this was true.
This is so sad to execute an innocent woman who’s only threat was her royal blood, Henry viii was an evil monster I wonder how he would’ve felt if he was told he only had an hour left before being executed he’s been the most brutal monarch in English history
Henry was selfish and an awful man. The point of history though is to learn from it. We should watch out for selfish awful people who have power now.
In a nutshell, Henry was insane, a horrendous psychopath.
Plane & simple-Henery VIII was evil & a complete psychopath & coward...
What happened to this poor lady was absolutely criminal. And did they also execute her little grandson?
I have a great sympathy for Margaret. Her whole life story is just sad. As well as her brothers.
She had a interesting life but what did Henry gain by executing an elderly woman.
St Margaret Pole pray for us!!!!
Damn Henry VIII. She was/is my ancestor.
Margaret Pole was beatified on December 29, 1886 by Pope Leo XIII. Her feast day is May 28th. 😇🙏✝
Conveniently had a miracle, did she?
the Tudors were all pretty nasty
Well, he had to eliminate the TRUE heirs to the thrown. All the Tudors are fake Kings.
See The Last White Rose: dynasty, rebellion and treason - the secret wars against the Tudors, by Desmond Seward. Henry was very insecure about the Yorkist claimants as was his father. It’s papered over in the history books with incessant descriptions of key later wars and persons - like Elizabeth I; and the Catholic Protestant rivalry, but the Yorkist “claimants” were perceived as a real threat.
They were a very real, putative threat to the new regime.
Margaret is my 15x great grandma!
Which of the five children are a descended from? Thats is so cool!
He was nothing better then a usurper and a fiend, evil beyond words.
What kind of wine?
Henry the viii was a backstabbing queen killing psycho
One of my ancestors 😮
Henry VIII was the biggest fool of them all. He’s lucky he wasn’t beheaded.
In what way was he the biggest fool
Henry VIII was a fool and a pig!! he treated people like sh*t and that's what they became. at the time he thought he was doing good, but since when is hypocrisy the greatest good?? &&& hypocrisy is the greatest of all foolishness. in the way that Jesus Christ preached forgiveness, not condemnation and execution, Henry VIII's actions were total blasphemy against Jesus. Jesus Christ never executed one sinner. for kings and queens to execute people in His name was the greatest foolishness and hypocrisy of all!! the hatred and confusion created from King Henry VIII's madness was the foolishness of a cold-blooded giant child possessed by Satan!! he was mentally handicapped and mad!! if not a total fool!! at least a fool or jester has some cleverness. Henry VIII was just plain dumb!! perhaps the dumbest king in the history of mankind!!
Who exactly would have beheaded him?
@@andrewholdaway813Henry VIII was a fool in many ways. Do you have all day? I could name 5 things right now.
@@onagaali2024
Feel free, I'm all ears.
Ngl, Henry was just a horrible, horrible person. Dang. Embarrassing af...
Fact : The executioner accidentally chopped an innocent person's head while chasing lady margaret
Isabell Neville's father was killed in the battle of barnet, wasn 't he???
The only value that rat Henry had was producing Elizabeth 1.
She was a great leader but as murderous as her father
& Edward, who helped solidify the Anglican church in leading England & Wales out of popery.
Henry was just a little bit like Stalin.
Was it not HENRY the 8th who payed for Margarets husbands funeral ???
I lost the tree in war of rises .what know my Grandma made Annabell
Was told to her mom and dad were cousins and exiled to island but an a duk3 bring them to America with nun that cared for them as Richard is only king with Scoliosos. Which I have an children we're born with. That's as far with my accessory. That much I know
Henry as with all his line were scum.
None of them
My great aunt x,s 17

Misanderistic channel?
No, just representing the awful crimes of one man in particular. Your comment implies misogynistic support of the heinous murder of this poor woman. Disgusting!
