That accident - being thrown off a horse - resulted in a severe head injury and a massive shift in his personality. Apparently, Henry VIII was a pretty good guy before he hit brain-damaged.
Actually, if you read histories of him you will see that all is tendencies were there even when he was young. And there's no contemporary evidence that he had massive brain damage. He was unconscious for a minute or maybe two. That was it.
Watch Inside the Body of Henry VIII. They recreate the accident, and surmise he only survived because he was wearing full armor. nd that wasn't the only accident. He was also hit just above the eye with a lance while jousting.
I'm actually currently reading Alison Weir's book, Henry VIII The King and His Court. He wanted Anne gone because she didn't give him a son, the same reason he married 6 times. The one wife who did, Jane Seymour, died after childbirth.
Hey, is it good. I just reviewed a book on my channel about the British monarchy. When it got to the Tudors, It was filled with many errors. I always see that book in my recommended I’ve liked most of her books. The only one I really didn’t like was the book Lancaster and York. I just couldn’t get into it.
Weird History, wrong at the start. Henry ruled England only, not the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom of Scotland and England came about in 1603, and later on, formalized in the early 17th century during the reign of Queen Anne.
This many interesting things about history that they don't teach you because if they did your course would last years and you would complain about that. And this video does have inaccuracies by the way.
3:18 The kid in the image reminds me of the "Knight In Shining Armor" in the music video "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)" by Katy Perry! That is one of my favorite music videos of all time!
in your intro you said Henry VIII reigned over the United Kingdom -- not so fast....Scotland & England remained separate kingdoms until 1707....over 150 years after Henry's death. The Stuart dynasty ruled Scotland until James VI of Scotland inherited the English throne in 1603, but the formal union of the kingdoms was under Queen Anne,
Henry, of course, did not preside over the United Kingdom but rather specifically over *England* (though of course that effectively included Wales and he also claimed Ireland and France, as you do).

On my channel, I just reviewed a book about the British monarchy. Well, when it got to the Tudors, there were several errors. And that’s saying something because it wasn’t that long of a book. I ranted a lot haha.
I've been drinking 6 to 8 Cokes a day for my entire adult life (I'm 41) and I've never had any issues. I eat ALL the garbage and my blood sugar is always 120.
Just for the record, Henry was never a Protestant. He did, indeed, break with Rome, but under his Six Articles of 1539, Catholic doctrine was reaffirmed, with denial of the Catholic doctrine of Transubstantiation being punishable by burning at the stake. Whilst he leaned more toward Protestantism later in his reign, he lived and died a Catholic, a bad Catholic, but still a Catholic.
My great, great, great, etc. grandmother was Mary Boleyn . . . word on the street is that Hank may have fathered her children . . . to this day, his eating habits are alive and well in our family.
I recently read a neuro-scientific report that claimed much of Henry VIII odd and erratic behavior may have been related to head injuries he experienced as a youth and young man. I'm open to reasonable thoughts, just no trollist replies by those wanting to display their ignorance.

@@Monster-yw5od Those people also think he's a Christian even though he's incapable of leading a single prayer. He normally stands there in stonefaced silence while others are praying.
What do I think? I think King Henry VIII's tendency for executing wives is exaggerated. Only two of the six wives were executed, and they were executed, for the most part (if not all,) on false accusations and evidence obtained and charged by members of Henry's court. How much of these fabrications Henry VIII actually knew about is debatable, but the fact of the matter is, Henry VIII was no more of a wife-beat-- er ---killer than (unfortunately) too many other husbands (royal or not) have been throughout history. (edit: word omission)
Ironically Henry's barmy ways allowed England to redefine its monarchy in its own image, breaking away from Rome meant the king/queen had to answer to the people and didn't have the Pope as back-up to support anything they did. It became a constitutional monarchy while other countries descended into absolute monarchs. He set England on the path to becoming a formidable presence, though perhaps his daughter Liz 1 deserves more credit for making the best of these developments. It led to the Bible being translated into English, not just Latin. You could even credit him with creating America, as his religious changes created numerous religious groups, including Puritans.

Henry VIII asked Martin Luther for the right to divorce one of his wives which Luther declined. Henry VIII said that he would convert the Church of England to Lutheranism too. But nope.
Can say really interesting and sorry if I get this skipped but have problems with time and all the inflation and other troubles happening now. Can't always be aware like a lot of people now.

@@roseprevost8081 yeah I thought he was jousting as well. Which he was specifically told not to do ( with good reason)
Yeah, he basically got frontal lobe damage, which is the same brain damage US football players can get

Kind of like Trump
7000 pounds for Hanks Christmas feast in 1509 is worth 12,600,000 pounds in todays money, give or take a few thousand . Thats one hell of a feast

I'm so fascinated by The Tudor Dynasty.Thank you for another video on Henry the VIII and I did see SIX in London and I liked it!
Weird History, wrong at the start. Henry ruled England only, not the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom of Scotland and England came about in 1603, and later on, formalized in the early 17th century during the reign of Queen Anne.
When in the 17th century?
2:44 When I was a student at Burwell Public School, we had that type of scale in our bathroom.
It would be cool if they taught us these things about him. Would make his life more interesting to learn about and even relate to if needed.
This many interesting things about history that they don't teach you because if they did your course would last years and you would complain about that. And this video does have inaccuracies by the way.
The weirdest part of this “history” is that Henry VIII managed to rule the United Kingdom considering it wasn’t united until 1707.
It wasn't even known as the UK until 1801
Imagine living on a island and you still aren’t a developed enough nation to unite
He ruled over England and Wales only because Scotland was still independent at the time.
LOL!! That’s funny that they made that mistake. Haha!
There was no UK in his day.
1:37 I had Chicken à la King on Stephen King's birthday.

I'd love to see a video on Nostradamus and his predictions
You could do a video on Queen Mary I of England.
9:20 basically Anne Boleyn telling everyone to fuck off in the most passive-aggressive way
Always use Alison Weir as a reference for Henry VIII. Her books are brilliant.
LOVE the Six reference💜
Second, lol! Henry was unbelievable!
Thanks for this! 👑
Old King Henry. He made England into what it is today.
Yes he was nuts so thanks for more story.

There's no way in hell Henry wasn't diabetic with how much crap he ate. I can't have a cookie without it spiking my blood sugar to 300.
Well that’s a prob lol
Not everybody gets diabetes from what they eat. You were just unlucky.

So why did he want his wife executed? Just tired of her or something
