The BRUTAL Execution Of The Nun Of Kent - Elizabeth Barton

- Henry VIII's reign as the King of England was an incredibly brutal and dangerous one as 70,000 people were executed in his realm for different crimes. But one of the most shocking executions saw Elizabeth Barton being executed at Tyburn. She was a woman who suffered from a condition such as epilepsy, and during seizures she would have visions and she also made predictions. Elizabeth Barton became a celebrity, as Thomas Cranmer and Cardinal Wolsey had an audience with her. But she made a big mistake, as she predicted the death of the King, Henry VIII.
During meetings with the King, she said that if Henry VIII married Anne Boleyn then he would be dead within a month. She also said that if the King did this then a plague would hit England and cause chaos. But because of the prediction, she was sentenced to death and was accused of treason. However she suffered a terrible execution, as she was also to face the axe and her head was placed on London Bridge. She was the only woman to have her head placed on a spike in London in History, showing the brutality of Henry VIII's kingdom.

Henry was ruthless.
He was an evil Pig.
They are always ruthless
Thanks for an intriguing case. I had heard of Elizabeth Barton but didn't realise that she came from a humble background. When I think about it I should have known, because a young woman from the middle or upper classes would likely have been prevented by family from doing things that were so certain to bring destruction on herself, but she seems to have been an unprotected girl, subject to epileptic episodes, imagining herself to be divinely inspired.
I think the most frightening of all times in which to live must be times when religious beliefs are changing. For devout Christians their beliefs were (and I suppose are) the most important thing in their lives, with eternal salvation the prize. At the Reformation there must have been painful uncertainty about what to believe, the old faith or the new. What's more, some Catholics must have feared that if the Pope excommunicated the King the land would be cursed. It's easy to see how Elizabeth felt she should speak out.
I wonder why Elizabeth recanted at the end. Was she afraid of an even worse death if she didn't? Or - which seems likely from the touching speech about others - did being subject to the legal process cause her to lose her belief in herself as inspired?
I have heard it theorised (and I think it possible) that she was a fraud but was frightened of eternal damnation if she did not recant.
I think it is possible that she also suffered from mental illness.
Not understanding illnesses such as epilepsy at the time, people would have both been in awe and terrified of her seizures, which they perceived to be a sign of divination or worse.
I am not sure what drove her, but she played with fire.
She knew what she was doing was highly dangerous and that she was being monitored by the authorities.
She was told to desist from the public proclamations, but she did not heed the warnings.
How was this execution any more brutal than any other execution at that time?
Clearly you don't follow this account to ASSUME. He titles everyone of the executions he covers as Brutal.
Please do not question the click bait.

Clearly you're a clueless twit 🙄
Good morning, and as ALWAYS, Thank You for your videos. I Appreciate All you do!
Prayers for All of the Innocent Victims, Survivors, and Those That Fought for Them.💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️ We Must Never Forget.
Too late. History already has
They are but only footnotes in history
None will remember their names
Only the people who killed them
They achieved immortality
Yeah, prayers will help. Ha.
@@mysticdragonwolf89
Nonsense. Don't be so obtuse 🙄
@@rayyy3
Prayers won't help fools like you
Henry the 8 th was so evil
And so many of his family.. 👍
You're only saying that because it's true.
Yes that’s why his corpse blew up in the coffin all his evilness came spewing out
Evil bastard he is
So glad that his filthy line died out as none of his children managed to breed .
Yet agin another story of Tudor England 🏴. Many thanks for posting up ❤
can you bring a serious of catholic nuns and priest who were executed during 16th century ?
Heavy VIII was probably the worst ever monarch. The numbers who were executed were probably far more than official estimates. He was a bloody thirsty tyrant who executed friends, foes and acquaintances at the merest whim. When he died, the treasury coffers were almost empty after a series of expensive and futile wars. His paranoid suspicion of individuals as well as the church and monastic institutions, led him to land grab on a huge scale. His belief in the absolute right that monarchs could do anything they liked resulted in him committing national vandalism on a massive scale by deliberately destroying many magnificent, medieval religious works of art - together with the organised desecration and destruction of churches and monasteries. His unbridled and relentless quest to have a male heir, led him to fatally undermine the once religious unity of the country and leave it in religious turmoil.
He was satanic illuminati free mason Lucifer worshipper
The Catholic Church killed alot more people then Henry did yes he's a tyrant but the church had no right to tell anyone how to live think about it they have billions of dollars in art while people starve ,christ turned over the money lender's stalls yet the church has it's own bank
Well I think its nowvagreed that the accident didn't help nor would walking around with untreated chronic conditions like Type 2 diabetes along with a manky leg probably didn't help matters!
Heavy VIII is a great rap name.
It was actually down to Henry that he was unable to produce a male heir. The man, not the woman, determines sex :D😂.😅 😅
I'd never heard of her. Thanks ❤️
If there’s such a thing, I hope there’s a special circle of hell for Henry VIII.
@@wildebeeste no, strange. 🙃🤣
And don’t forget that the Anglican (Lutheran) Church was founded by that brutal tyrant!!
@@Valmontst Not Lutheran. Just Anglican.
I just read about her in Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel. Just tragic. Tudor England was fascinating, and Henry VIII was such a tyrant.
Tragic, yet she was incredibly foolish to keep making those public proclamations when she was repeatedly warned to stop doing so.
A brutal king
I find it really strange how so many British documentaries portray him as some kind of hero king who did so much for the nation.
And don’t forget that the Anglican (Lutheran) Church was founded by that brutal tyrant!!
It's funny that so few who claim to predict the future truthfully, ever manage to predict their own sad ends.
It is because the Lord gives them prophecy in order to try to convert evil but powerful leaders. They have been many Catholic Saints, such as many of the early disciples, whom the Lord had revealed would be murdered for their faith. Still, even knowing the outcome if they continued, they chose marred them rather than stop, preaching the gospel.
It’s too bad we only have the historical record of those in power .. or the winners… it would be interesting to hear her own full story. Clearly she was used.
This is so fascinating! I love this period of history. I just found out about triangular scaffolding. More to explore! Many Thanks! 10322
Wait a second, you started the video saying it was thought she COULDN'T read or write, yet she wrote a book?
Yeah, that's an interesting observation. Please clarify.
Quite literally a ghost writer.
As I remember reading somewhere, there were instances in the Middle Ages for illiterate people to dictate their words to a person writing them down, and this is how they would write a book. Probably the same thing happened here too.
It is quite simple. Illiterate people simply dictated to a scribe who then wrote down the words for them.
The problem with this claim is the aforementioned title she had .... NUN. If you know anything about these times, you would know the church used illiteracy as their tool to control the masses. And a quick Google search, cuz Google never "lies" you will understand that nuns are part of the church's, and they had to be familiar with the ... wait for it ...
Words in the Bible. Dang, y'all are so gullible. 😂😂😂😂😂
And they weren't afraid of Going to Hell for there ghastly things that they did .

Here we go..
I'm 'Enery the Eighth I am, I am.
I got married to the widow next door.
She's been married seven times before,
And every one was an 'Enery.
Wouldn't have a Willie or a Sam,
I'm 'er eighth old man, I'm 'Enery.
'Enery the Eighth I am!
I remember that one!
Somewhere there has to be a copy of her book.
“She predicted the death of a sick child.” Sadly, that wasn’t too big of a prediction back then, given what medical care was at the time (close to non-existent).
Another amazing video! Thankyou very much for another awesome experience! Patiently waiting for the next one to come out! Have you seen the movie "The Duchess" I've always found her story very interesting, maybe that's another kind of story for your other channel? Thanks again so much and God bless you mate!
How did she write a book if she could not read or write ?
Perhaps she wrote the way many other have in the past. Others did the penmanship while those who told the tale got the credit.
It is quite simple. People who could not write themselves merely dictated what they wanted to say to a scribe, who then wrote down the words.
Epilepsy? I wonder about schizophrenia.
thank you - I was looking for a video about Elizabeth Barton
He was the devil.
And don’t forget that the Anglican (Lutheran) Church was founded by that brutal tyrant!!
A Tyrant
Great information as always. The images of The Tower of London are always stunning, but perhaps the exterior of the buildings/compound could be cleaned. There's no reason not to do it.
Maybe the king was mad
So she was sort of an English female Rasputin.
we see so many of these people who think it is for them to judge
Henry VIII executed 70,000 people, unbelievable
Fret? I believe you meant to say threat! The T does not sound like an F.
This is so typical of the monarchy and absolute power. Just because a monarch has a divine right to rule they can act without impunity. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Thank you for posting this. Your videos are really engaging even if your delivery is somewhat on the nasal side. I guess history is colourful enough without historians becoming personalities themselves.
So typical of the monarchy? This was over 500 years ago.
I thought the Magna Carta was supposed to guard against the monarchy having absolute power, guess not!
The only absolute monarch left in the world is King Mswati of Iswatini, he is a despite. No monarch in Europe has had that kind of power for a very long time!
And yet, the American press slobbers and fawns all over this medieval institution. Go figure.

A young tearful American women was interviewed in London following the death of the Queen. She had flown from America because of it.
😳....🙄

henry the 8th should have been the end of the british govt.
6:27 "The Idle Prentice Executed at Tyburn" by William Hogarth, 1747.
I have a copy of this print on my office wall. My coworkers think I'm eccentric. What do you think?
Think it's pretty cool
Does anyone doubt Henry is shoveling coal in the furnaces of hell?
good moring bro..I'm big fan of ur videos
Towards the end of his reign Henry VIII executed anyone who disagreed with him, like his father before him he had turned into a tyrant.
Very interesting but your speech is very ‘mechanical’ , it could be such a better presentation.
Oh it's good to be the king...
*metal illness*
Of all the British kings, Henry VIII was the nastiest of all. He was a murderer, a lousy person, and a really rotten husband. And as afather he certainly did not win any prizes. The ONLY good thing to come from him was a great Queen (Elizabeth I). His first child, Mary was an absolute horror and unfortunately a son who only lasted 5 minutes.
Actually mary was really nice she did alot of things in her reign which is used in Britain till these days
I really love his music. There is a song called Pastime with Good Company he wrote which I find quite beautiful. There is a lovely version by a group called The New World Renaissance Band. Not as well known for his music as ofcourse all of the atrocious acts he committed superseded all of that.
@@daviddaniel6949 Soirry David, not sure you were looking at same video.
@@sarwatplays1223
Nonsense 🤣
@@SolarEclipse1996 sure
Aren't we lucky to have been born in this century? The past really sucked. Humans of the past were mental.
Interesting!
she couldn't predict her death?
Your videos are definitely compelling, but dude, it's time to find a few more brutal or horrific adjectives in your titles! 😺
She kinda asked for trubble
Assumed she wasn't educated, that she couldn't read or write, yet she wrote a book?
You can have someone write for you while you tell them what to write
@@macgyversmacbook1861 I see your point and I thought of that, too. Still, would an uneducated person do that? And who's to say that whoever "wrote" the book for her didn't put in his/her own ideas, because she wouldn't be able to read it to see. Just a thought, anyway.
She became ill in 1535?!! Dates are off.
As much as it is hard to say this , she was the inventor of her own demise… surely you know better than to go before a king such as he and talk about things she knew better than to. And people tried to tell her to tone it down too! Did she just get a bit too full of herself and believe that she actually could predict the future ? That may be possible. Last thing you really wanna do is piss off the person who can take your life with the wink of an eye!
He was horrible...if he was here now,would he do justice to the two traitors here now?Harry and his wife are lucky there isn't a Henry Tudor is not on the throne....pity....
Amen🙏
Then y she dont predict his own death lol..😂
Why he killed a nun?
Maybe henry
I can't listen to this narrator. His narration is completely sing song and it drives me out of my mind.
You see , nazi Germany had a predecessor
Got it your anti Henry.
lol, lets blame the men.
Another happy ending due to religion.
so she was hanged like tens of thousands of others around the world, over hundreds of years.she was beheaded after she was dead, so what is barbaric. all this channel knows is brutal/barbaric/horrifying
According to Google there are 38 million active channels on TH-cam. There are plenty to choose from if you don’t one, find another.
Well they ARE all Brutal, Horrific and Barbaric. I mean was ever there an Enjoyable Beheading or a Lovely Hanging.
Did he ever occaisionally "pardon" anyone? Maybe?

Nonsense 🤣
He executed many catholic loyalists who have become enemies of the English kingdom. But he did it to safe England from the Roman Catholic empire.

16th C… Henry VIII
21C…V Putin
The Viking heritage of you Britains is so prevalent since the ninth century it's curious that the Anglo Saxons are mentioned at all.
Nonsense 🤣
Mate you need to lose the sing song speech and the finishing drawn out word. Overall good job but those other things are boring and somewhat annoying.
I often skip it just not to hear that weird voice.
