Thank you so much for this video! I'm a fan of Tracy Borman and I learned a few new things from this from different people in the time period I didn't know much about before! Thanks!

[@amandajones6481]

Thank you for this wonderful video. And thank you to Tracy Borman for your amazing amount of knowledge. Merely the thought of writing a book about the ENTIRE history of the British monarchy, which is, after all, a thousand years of dramatic history - is mind - boggling. Whether one approves, or not, of the monarchy, it's history never ceases to fascinate us.

What happened to Tracy's five lectures on women in the Tudor era? They were wonderful, but they seem to have disappeared from youtube. I would love to see them again.

[@ElliotOracle]

You don't have to have a LOC to suffer a traumatic brain injury. A fall from a horse standing over 17 hands high (think of a draft horse), wearing a metal helmet & hitting the ground is going to cause the forward & back motion of the brain which is the actual cause of a concussion. American football players receive concussions and suffer from post-concussive syndrome from hitting the ground all the time. A defensive lineman hitting a man wearing a specifically designed helmet and specifically made pads, is a lot less impact than falling of a horse. His other jousting accident, where he was hit in forehead by a lance, is also going to cause a TBI, even without LOC. You get hit in the head with a giant stick going 30 mph is going to cause a concussion. Whether or not Henry or those around him thought he was "unhurt".

[@danaglabeman6919]

I think a driver behind the black and white aspect of "traumatic LOC TBI" theory vs. "totally unhurt" is many historians desire to point to the jousting accident as the cause of this "sudden" personality change. But there was none: Henry had always, from the earliest, been capricious, willing to sacrifice anyone who thwarted him, devious and changeable. But over the course of his life, the culmination of more and more things he wanted that he couldn't have piling up, the gradual pain of all his physical ailments becoming worse and his slow accumulation of ultimate, unchecked power, led up to "bad" Henry. This whole idea of a sudden, swift 180 personality change just doesn't hold water. We must remember that even the most power-mad, dangerous people can be perfectly wonderful while they have everything they want and are getting their way.

I love that she gives Owain Tudor his due as being a powerful Welsh player in his own right. So often ypu hear that Catherine ran off with her groom, that he was a nobody, they weren't even legally married, etc. It's like, no, the Tudors were descended from the princes of Gwynedd and Duheubarth, they were Owain Glyndwr's cousins and heirs. Yes, he was Catherine's chief server, but in the 15th century that was a place that was reserved for high nobility. This whole idea that she "ran away with her low-born servant" needs to die.

[@sempressfi]

Yep! He was given a position in the Royal household, that alone is a mark of having some standing in society

[@ribkan4759]

OMG I love this💖

[@hayley8715]

I have more questions!?

[@stephanbach1652]

Richard III is the murderer of the Princes in the Tower.

[@CountessKitten]

Actually, it's widely believed by historians that he, indeed, is not the murderer. It's thought that The Tudors are who likely murdered the Princes, and you can understand why, if you know anything at all about the subject.

[@HitchcockBrunette]

@@CountessKittenI’m a Tudor Historian and this blanket statement is untrue. The general consensus is he in fact, ordered their murder. You’re referencing the minority group Richard III Society.

[@HitchcockBrunette]

Agreed.

[@michaelwhite8031]

English history should really go back to Alfred the Great.

[@sempressfi]

Not completely accurate that a head injury would result in a quick change nor does losing consciousness indicate one way or the other whether TBI/damage did in fact happen. There are a number of hockey and american football players who sustain injuries in their career and have manageabke symptoms for a while if any at all before getting progressively and noticeably worse later on. I don't disagree that we can't really definitively attribute the change/temperament to this one event but when laid out in a timeline it does seem that things progressed more severely afterwards. Could be coincidence but could also have exacerbated things!
