This was very well done and so much fun! I thoroughly enjoyed this "What If?" in Tudor history.

Well done! I think this was well researched and thought out, Hannah. So much pain, suffering and death would have been averted. It’s a shame things didn’t happen in this time-line.

More 40 min videos please? 😬😬😬

I love your videos. Thanks so much!!

Did you know that when Queen Jane was having a hard time giving birth the doctors ask King Henry that having to choose whether he wanted to save the baby's life or Queen Jane that he picked the baby? He told the doctors that he could always get a new queen. So much on really loving her huh? Henry loved Henry.

Nothing is impossible I suppose, and surely no one wants to discourage research, but on balance, Richard ordering the prince's to be killed is still by far the most likely scenario.

Wasn’t there a male heir to Henry and Catherine who lived longer than days? I thought it was months

There was a rumor that Edward IV was considering in allowing Henry VII back to England and Wales if he married Elizabeth of York as it appeared to give Henry a small chance since Elizabeth would have been third in succession until her brothers had children. Edward also thought Henry would be loyal to him if he was married to Edward’s oldest. Edward also still had many daughters to make other family royal connections

This is so fun, such a great thought experiment! Would love to see more of these!

I loved the what ifs and that it still put certain things that would have still occured into the time line while omitting some things too. You should do more of these 😊

This was a super fun and different video idea and I LOVE the length of it :)

During the pandemic I started a deep(ish) dive on the War of the Roses & the Tudors. I read through quite a few historians, nonfiction, biographies, & fictional (needed a bit of break from the real stuff) books. I remember in one of the nonfiction accounts (can't remember which) but Sir Thomas Moore was actually able to interview James Tyrell before Tyrell's death. According to this account Tyrell confessed to Moore the who, what, when, where, & how of the deaths of Edward & Richard. Also as we know the Duke of Buckingham at the time & Richard III had a falling out while on progress that year. The reason for that was that the Duke disagreed on the murder of the children & that is why he turned against Richard III. I want to say the account is in one of the books written by a Phillipa Somebody. I just know it wasn't Phillipa Gregory.

I wish Anne had a boy too so she could've fired Jane from her service and kicked her out of court! 😎🤷🏽‍♀️

He likely would have been in line to the throne before Mary and Elizabeth and a third marriage of Jane Seymour might not have happened.

Ohhh What would Mary Queen of Scots reign would’ve loved like if Francis II hadn’t died?

YESSSSS thank you so much for the what if I love them!!!!

As someone who doesn't care one jot whether Richard III had the Princes in the Tower killed or not, it mystifies me how either side of the debate can be so sure of 'their side', given the problems with the evidence for either hypothesis. I recognise that Hannah clearly says that she is working with probabilities, not certainties. I'm going to stick my neck out and say that Henry VII himself was not sure whether Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbek were imposters or not, therefore played it as safe as he could until his hand was forced by circumstances. If he was sure that they were imposters, the evidence would have been presented and swift executions would have surely followed. Confessions under duress are surely unreliable pieces of evidence that they were imposters. Was it possible for the Princes to have escaped the Tower of London? Yes, numerous people did so: Ranulf Flambard, Roger Mortimer and Alice Tankerville to name just three. It's unlikely, but possible that they escaped, especially considering the popularity, wealth and influence their families had. Is it possible that Margaret of York lied, or was duped into believing Perkin Warbek was Richard of Shrewsbury? Possible, and she had the motive of trying to destabilise the reign of the man who had killed her younger brother, Richard III, and bring the House of York back to the throne. However, is it likely that she would risk the great respect and authority that she earned by doing so? Further, is it also then possible that the King of Scotland would allow one of his relatives to marry a known imposter? I can't find evidence of any other imposter ever claiming to be a noble and gaining the support of two Royal Families, and it is somewhat doubtful that anyone could fool two Royal households. Despite that, both of them had motives to do so. How can we be certain either way? Have other imposters remained un-detected? Is it such a bad idea to try such impersonation, that no-one has tried it before or since? Were Warbek and Simnel genuine, but merely failed in their attempted takeovers? The gold chain: Do we have a documented chain of custody of it? Where was it when the young prince was placed in the tower? There are a myriad of ways that Tyrell may have obtained the chain, including as a bribe, proof of the veracity of a message, or even theft. In itself, it is not firm evidence of the death or survival of the owner. Has the methodology of the document search by the Langley side been explained? What was the expertise of the volunteers, and what were their instructions? Did they merely look for a set of keywords, or were they able to read and fully understand the documents that they were reviewing? However, I would like to point out that the documents presented by the Langley hypothesis have been verified by experts, even though we cannot yet be sure that other, contradictory documents have not been ignored, or merely not found yet.

Richard III is the only suspect that makes sense. I also assume his Edward IV quietly had Henry VI killed in the tower also. Which may be what gave Richard the idea to do it. Little boys grow up to be men. And men can raise armies. Which is why it was ironic to me that Richard III was killed in battle by the army Henry VII raised against him.

I just got a new phone today because my last phone became obsolete. I just re subscribed to you with my new phone.

Elizabeth l is my favorite!❤👍🏼

If I want to buy this book, would you please share the link of buying it, thank you

Anne sounds like kind of a monster. I don't think she deserved to be beheaded, but I can't figure out why people love her and consider her to be their heroine. She was pure evil towards Catherine of Aragon and Mary.

Have you tried to extend your horizon beyond a few generations of English monarchs? Tried House Habsburg?

It seems to me that the ridiculous number of failed pregnancies could easily be attributed to the level promiscuity of the period. Consider this: hygiene was almost non-existent, which means that all manner of organisms where sealed up inside the womb for 9 mos brewing...And since it was the Men (most notably Henry) who had relations with anything moving (and it was moving he'd catch it) it was likely the men who were responsible for most of the miscarriages, still births, crib deaths and death "in childbed" they blamed the Women for. It never occurred to Henry that it was not Katherine or Anne because his anointed by God status meant he was Perfect...epic eye roll

I've read every single thing I can find about Anne and the women of the courts. I've sought out every movie, documentary etc about life in the Misogynistic life of the All women of that era were pawns of the men. Anne's biggest crime, in their eyes, was that she wasn't. She was a progressive, intelligent and outspoken woman...the most dangerous kind to those who would subjugate them. Frighteningly enough, I am reminded A Lot of Henry VIII and the Henrician Court in the current events

Thanks Hannah! Looking forward to part 2!

Yes, Katherine of Aragon was tenured 24 years as Queen Consort of England compared to the other 5 wives. I don't know why this song makes me think of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon/ Queen Mum. ♥️🏰👸🏻🇬🇧

I've always wondered how Anne could be accused of adultery/Treason against Henry if he claimed the marriage was invalid. He can't have it both ways.

You still have your tree up, it's beautiful. Your videos are always interesting.

Thank you so much, very interesting 🙏🙏👵🇦🇺

Ayyyy was waiting for this following the Princes videos, thank you ☺️

Eleanor Manners is a distant relative of mine. My grandma's maiden name is Manners 😄

Edward Hall berichtet: "weil er (Edward Warwick), seit frühester Kindheit in strengster Isolation gefangen gehalten wurde, konnte er am Ende keine Gans von einem Kapaun unterscheiden". Er hat nicht gegen Tudor rebelliert, sondern ist aus fadenscheinigen Gründen hingerichtet worden. Im Titulus Regius wird Warwick ausdrücklich als Kind eines Verräters vom Thron ausgeschlossen. Nachdem der Titulus Regius vernichtet war, stand Warwick automatisch in der Thronfolge VOR Tudor. Genauso wie seine Schwester Margarete Pole und ihre Nachkommen

👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐EXCELLENT WORK!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXPLANATION. I LOOK FORWARD TO NEW VIDEOS! THANK YOU

I get sad when I read or listen to any video about Jane Seymour. It's sad she died so young and before she was even crowned.

Love the pink hair

#Meglomaniac

Would you ever consider doing more what ifs? I think they are real interesting

Poor Anne. I wonder if she ever regretted meeting and marrying Henry?

What’s in his hand ?

I would call him ‘his immenseness.’

He heard a Spanish royal referred to as “Your Majesty” and he decided that was how he would be addressed from then on.

I wonder who kept his wardrobe accessories long as they lasted since his January,1547 departure from life? I did some research about it and saw nothing in modernity but a rust colored velvet hat is what remains left of his wardrobe acessories.

LOVE THE OUTFIT, stunningggg
