Henry VIII - OverSimplified REACTION

[@lovinmclovin5290]

I think the lesson to learn is that Henry was a nice person that turned into a tyrant due to betrayal, frustration and broken dreams. In a way he's a tragical character... Just goes to show that people are more complicated.

King Henry didn't ask for a divorce but an annulment, basically the Catholic version . The difference is annulments work on claiming that the marriage should never have happened for whatever reason (like cheating or marrying your brother's widow). If agreed upon, the marriage is then treated as if it never happened. A minor complaint, but a significant one on why the pope was needed to confirm the seperation.

10:30 Arthur and Katherine left for Wales, where they both caught a sickness, most likely 'the sweating sickness'. Arthur died, Katherine survived. And she endured 7 years of poverty because her father and Henry VII were arguing about her dowry.

[@ms_scribbles]

Nobody really knows what Prince Arthur died of. After the wedding, he and Catherine were moved to a castle in Wales, and after a combination of a really bad, freezing winter and "ill humors" he just got sick and died. Could have been the flu, could have been pneumonia, nobody knows.

[@ms_scribbles]

While it's pretty certain Anne Boleyn was innocent of all she was accused of, Katherine Howard was definitely guilty. Though, honestly, I don't blame her for what she did. I blame her for being so goddamned *stupid* about it. Being 17 in the 16th century was not that young. Many girls had been a mother and were taking care of the household by then, so the excuse that she was stupid because she was young doesn't really wash. Henry was the friggin' king, FFS! Did she really think being so brazen about her affair with Culpeper and keeping all these letters around where they could be found by anyone who had the legal right to search their rooms was a good idea? I feel sorry for most of Henry's wives, but Katherine Howard just frustrates the hell out of me. (And Katherine Parr survived Henry, plus she helped her next husband sexually assault Elizabeth, either out of stupidity or just not giving a shit, so...yeah.)

[@HypeTrain-Follow]

Nice comment thank you.. Yeah it's always hard to know some facts if it was not documented, or documented by someone bias.. True we did wonder why she thought she was safe.. He didn't have a good record and it must have been a huge embarrassment over so long having it rubbed in his face 🤔... Kev

[@NoPowerintheVerse]

Wasn’t he also a sickly child though? I remember reading that Arthur had always been on the weaker side.

[@lalitthapa101]

The reason why henry Vii was very paranoid was bcoz he knew his claim to the throne was very very weak and if anyone came claiming to be one of the prince in the tower he would lose the throne.Thats the reason why henry viii also wanted a son very badly to lock down the Tudor reign. Plus as u saw that henry's mom dies.She actually died while giving birth I think(bcoz having another son would he much better for the future).After her death the one most affected was definitely henry Vii cause theirs was a genuine love story.That became a much catalyst into his descent to paranoia

[@sophiepalmer-doran344]

details of the downfalls and those later in life if applicable found on wikipidia Cathrine Catherine went to live at The More castle late in 1531. After that she was successively moved to the Royal Palace of Hatfield, (May to September, 1532), Elsyng Palace, Enfield (September 1532 to February 1533), Ampthill Castle (February to July, 1533) and Buckden Towers (July 1533 to May 1534). She was then finally transferred to Kimbolton Castle where, she confined herself to one room (which she left only to attend Mass), dressed only in the hair shirt of the Order of St. Francis, and fasted continuously. While she was permitted to receive occasional visitors, she was forbidden to see her daughter Mary. They were also forbidden to communicate in writing, but sympathizers discreetly ferried letters between the two. Henry offered both mother and daughter better quarters and permission to see each other if they would acknowledge Anne Boleyn as the new queen. Both refused. In late December 1535, sensing her death was near, Catherine made her will, and wrote to her nephew, the Emperor Charles V, asking him to protect her daughter. Catherine died at Kimbolton Castle on 7 January 1536. The following day, news of her death reached the king. At the time there were rumours that she was poisoned, possibly by Gregory di Casale.According to the chronicler Edward Hall, Anne Boleyn wore yellow for the mourning, which has been interpreted in various ways; Polydore Vergil interpreted this to mean that Anne did not mourn.Chapuys reported that it was King Henry who decked himself in yellow, celebrating the news and making a great show of his and Anne's daughter, Elizabeth, to his courtiers.This was seen as distasteful and vulgar by many. Another theory is that the dressing in yellow was out of respect for Catherine as yellow was said to be the Spanish colour of mourning. Certainly, later in the day it is reported that Henry and Anne both individually and privately wept for her death. On the day of Catherine's funeral, Anne Boleyn miscarried a boy. Rumours then circulated that Catherine had been poisoned by Anne or Henry, or both. The rumours were born after the apparent discovery during her embalming that there was a black growth on her heart that might have been caused by poisoning. Modern medical experts are in agreement that her heart's discolouration was due not to poisoning, but to cancer, something which was not understood at the time. Catherine was buried in Peterborough Cathedral with the ceremony due to her position as a Dowager Princess of Wales, and not a queen. Henry did not attend the funeral and forbade Mary to attend. Anne The execution consisted of a single stroke. It was witnessed by Thomas Cromwell; Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk; the King's illegitimate son, Henry Fitzroy; the Lord Mayor of London, as well as aldermen, sheriffs, and representatives of the various craft guilds. Most of the King's Council were also present. Cranmer, who was at Lambeth Palace, was reported to have broken down in tears after telling Alexander Ales: "She who has been the Queen of England on earth will today become a Queen in heaven." When the charges were first brought against Anne, Cranmer had expressed his astonishment to Henry and his belief that "she should not be culpable." Still, Cranmer felt vulnerable because of his closeness to the queen, and so on the night before the execution, he declared Henry's marriage to Anne to have been void, like Catherine's before her. He made no serious attempt to save Anne's life, although some sources record that he had prepared her for death by hearing her last private confession of sins, in which she had stated her innocence before God.[On the day of her death, a Scottish friend found Cranmer weeping uncontrollably in his London gardens, saying that he was sure that Anne had now gone to Heaven.She was then buried in an unmarked grave in the Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula. Her skeleton was identified during renovations of the chapel in 1876, in the reign of Queen Victoria, and Anne's grave is now identified on the marble floor. Jane Jane's labour had been difficult, lasting two days and three nights, probably because the baby was not well positioned.After the christening, it became clear that she was seriously ill.[She died on 24 October 1537 at Hampton Court Palace. Within a few weeks of her death, there were conflicting testimonies concerning the cause of her demise. In retrospect from the current day, there are various speculations that have been offered. According to King Edward's biographer, Jennifer Loach, her death may have been due to an infection from a retained placenta. According to Alison Weir, she may have succumbed to puerperal fever following a bacterial infection contracted during the birthThe same author has also speculated, after medical consultation, that the cause of her death was a pulmonary embolism. Jane was buried on 12 November 1537 in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle after the funeral in which her stepdaughter Mary acted as chief mourner. A procession of 29 mourners followed Mary, one for every year of Queen Jane's life. She was the only one of Henry's wives to receive a queen's funeral. Anne of cleves Anne's health began to fail, Mary allowed her to live at Chelsea Old Manor, where Henry's last wife, Catherine Parr, had lived after her remarriage. Here, in the middle of July 1557, Anne dictated her last will. In it, she mentions her brother, sister, and sister-in-law, as well as the future Queen Elizabeth, the Duchess of Suffolk, and the Countess of Arundel.She left some money to her servants and asked Mary and Elizabeth to employ them in their households.She was remembered by everyone who served her as a particularly generous and easy-going mistress. Anne died at Chelsea Old Manor on 16 July 1557, eight weeks before her forty-second birthday. The most likely cause of her death was cancer. She was buried in Westminster Abbey, on 3 August. Catherine howard Catherine's execution was scheduled for 7:00 am on Monday 13 February 1542. Arrangements for the execution were supervised by Sir John Gage in his role as Constable of the Tower.The night before her execution Catherine is believed to have spent many hours practising how to lay her head upon the block, which had been brought to her at her request. She died with relative composure but looked pale and terrified; she required assistance to climb the scaffold. She made a speech describing her punishment as "worthy and just" and asked for mercy for her family and prayers for her soul. According to popular folklore her last words were, "I die a Queen, but I would rather have died the wife of Culpeper". However no eyewitness accounts support this, instead reporting that she stuck to traditional final words, asking for forgiveness for her sins and acknowledging that she deserved to die 'a thousand deaths' for betraying the king, who had always treated her so graciously. This was typical of the speeches given by those executed during that period, most likely in an effort to protect their families, since the condemned's last words would be relayed to the King. Catherine was beheaded with a single stroke of the executioner's axe. Catherine howard was buried in an unmarked grave in the nearby chapel of St. Peter ad Vincula, where the bodies of Catherine's cousins Anne and George Boleyn also lay. and finaly Catherine Parr March 1548, at the age of 35, Catherine became pregnant. This pregnancy was a surprise, as Catherine had not conceived during her first three marriages. in May 1548 to stay with Sir Anthony Denny's household at Cheshunt and never saw her beloved stepmother again, although the two corresponded. Elizabeth immediately wrote a letter to the Queen and Seymour after she left Chelsea. The letter demonstrates a sort of remorse. In June 1548, Catherine, accompanied by Lady Jane Grey, moved to Sudeley Castle in Gloucestershire. The dowager queen promised to provide education for her. It was there that Catherine would spend the last few months of her pregnancy and the last summer of her life. Catherine gave birth to her only child, a daughter, Mary Seymour, named after Catherine's stepdaughter Mary, on 30 August 1548. Catherine died on 5 September 1548, at Sudeley Castle in Gloucestershire, from what is thought to have been "childbed fever". This illness was common due to the lack of hygiene around childbirth. Catherine's funeral was held on 7 September 1548. It was the first Protestant funeral held in English. Her chief mourner was Lady Jane Grey. She was buried in St. Mary's Chapel on the grounds of Sudeley Castle, Gloucestershire, England. She is the only royal to be buried in a private residence

17:58 Wolsey surprisingly didn't die from poison. He was arrested in his house in York and was being taken back to London for trial and most likely hanging when he fell ill and died in Leicester (He was buried in Leicester Abbey before it was disolved). He was just a sick old man by the time he was arrested

Histeria's Shakespeare song helps me recall info on his wives (with one wife being very ugly). "King Henry VIII has 6 different wives, he's faithful to each till the next one arrives, most of them ended up losing their lives. They're wedded, then bedded and then they're beheaded, it's something that later he kinda regretted."

9:50 actually the king of England and later the united kingdom and the British empire was always a nominate head which meant he didnt have all that power compared to other European nations like Russia or Spain which had absolute monarchy.The monarch did have some really strong powers which it still has today but times have changed and if the queen exercised any of those powers now she would be out

[@ajvanmarle]

9:50 The position of the king in the Middle Ages was complex and very much based on tradition. Tradition limited the king's power, but it was not laid down in law. The king could just make things happen by royal degree, but they typically didn't do that because it pissed a lot of people off. It's the same way that US presidents prefer to have a law passed through congress, rather than just issuing an executive order.

[@HypeTrain-Follow]

Makes sense yes 👍... Kev

[@8bennaboo]

Henry was not stupid, though he could be impulsive. But strictly speaking, he did not have as much power at the beginning of his reign.

[@8bennaboo]

24:50: Correct, it is best not to be noticed at all. In later years, he could love you at dinner and execute you by breakfast.

Y´know, by the end it would have been better to just legitimize the bastard he got from one of the maids... Would have been a big scandal, yes, but at that point he was still extremely popular ad i can even imagine that the people would have blamed the queen more than him, given the times
