Agnes Howard being spared from execution during Henry VIII's reign, due to her age Margaret Pole: "Are You Kidding Me?!"

@RavenIdril2966 5 ай бұрын

I believe her punishment was disgrace and banishment from court.

@HistorysForgottenPeople 5 ай бұрын

Right? This made me laugh, though. 😂 I think it was just a matter of catching Henry on a 'good day', if there was such a thing. Plus in Margaret's case, Henry really wanted her son Reginald, but couldn't get at him. In Agnes' case, he had his pound of flesh by executing Katherine Howard and Jane Boleyn.

Always had a soft spot for Anne of Cleves. Henry “I want an annulment” Anne “Yes Your Majesty”. Anne backs away slowly making no sudden moves.

It is beginning to seem to me that the moral of most of these stories is that one should be wary of greed and be vigilant (if not afraid) of charismatic and powerful men and the women who chase them, for neither will do one much good, in the long run, especially if you too are a woman. Fascinating as always, thank you.

There certainly is a pattern to human behaviour here, isn't there? 😂Certainly now I think we're coming to embrace the understanding of 'red flags', but of course at the time (and for centuries afterwards) a lot of those traits were confused with romantic notions.

For the question (I did ask it last week but the next day so I don’t think you saw it), if you could put two historical figures in a locked room together, who would they be and why? Tbh idk who I’d put in there, but I think it’d be for somewhat comedic motives- imagine Charles II and Henry VI in the same room, for example😭

@HistorysForgottenPeople 5 ай бұрын

I'm so sorry if I missed it! It's the summer holidays here, so I'm juggling work while watching my little boy, and so I'm not able to check my comments as often. Apologies! But I've caught it this time. 😂 Ooh, it would definitely have to be for comedic motives. No question. The idea of Charles II and Henry VI is hilarious; they would start out all polite and regal, and then Charles would crack a sexual innuendo and Henry would just get triggered. Eventually Henry would try to give him a lecture, but halfway through falls into a catatonic state.😂😂😂 I think I'd choose...Henry VIII and Sigmund Freud, to try and work through the king's several problems. I reckon that would be pretty good. Either all of Henry's problems and trauma are solved, or Freud comes out a nervous wreck. Either way, I would pay good money to see that.

With the exemption of Anne Dacre Howard, I always had a feeling that these Howard wives weren't very motherly or, like Elisabeth Stafford Howard, were rejected even by their own children. Maybe it was due to children dying young (so no point to get attached) or them being hosted in other noble families or that their eduçation was often delegated to tutors or governesses, I think these women themselves didn't receive many attention from their parents.

8:06 Henry and Anne married secretly because Anne WAS pregnant as she was getting older so she got pregnant so Henry was forced to marry her to make his heir legitimate, getting rid of his hesitancy. 8:26 Henry and Anne married publicly on the 25th of January 1533, and their marriage was annulled in May. It wasn’t a few days difference.

You dont have to go into their life history,but maybe along the lines of their name, family connection and where they were from for example England,maybe a city or Spanish and how long they were they were a lady in waiting?.. something along those lines please.

How does a “Lady in Waiting” work? Do they move to the castle for a time? Is it only for special events? It’s all confusing to this American.

@HistorysForgottenPeople 5 ай бұрын

It's a good question! I can't answer so much for nowadays, but certainly in the 16th century, yes and no. 😅 A lady-in-waiting would be expected to live with the household as she had to help with day-to-day duties, but she would have periods where she returned home for giving birth, for example. Their husbands would also be at court in attendance, so there would have been either (depending on the country and time) apartments at the royal residences, or their own properties close to court. The nature of a lady-in-waiting developed over time as well to include a more political role (albeit one that was less obvious than a man's political role), so there were also times she might be trusted with carrying a message internationally, and this would also create a short time away from her household.

@@Romdormer the gossip was already there. The gossip from a servant was what brought Katherine down in the end. If Agnes had dismissed Henry then they could have gotten away with it, as Katherine didn't sleep with him. She should have just gotten a serious lecture on decorum. Could have even married Katherine off if there were concerns after Francis. That Katherine then went and had at least an emotional affair with Thomas said she didn't realise what a serious game this was either.
