[@eliz_scubavn]

This is a gross oversimplification of historical events. Until a certain point in his life, Henry VIII was actually a well liked, athletic and good looking man who charmed people who met him and who had many talents including playing the recorder, dancing and jousting. However there was an accident during a jousting tournament where Henry VIII was forced from his horse and fell, likely sustaining a serious head blow as well as some other injuries. This was believed to be the main turning point for his overall behaviour and personality, as brain injury can change these significantly. He continued to eat in large amounts but was no longer as active as he’d been, with reduced mobility due to the injuries, so he became obese as well as suffering from mood swings.

[@flawlessfluidity7771]

[@thebreadcraft4216]

@@eliz_scubavn I’m glad someone here will give an additional perspective, this whole comment thread is just a circlejerk of people pointing out his flaws. They overlook the fact that his rule was considered one a golden age in English history, and that these sort of executions weren’t uncommon at the time (albeit much less gruesome). I’m certainly not defending his actions, but there’s two sides to every story and history is written by the victors (who didn’t care too much for him). I’ve actually read that he really went overboard when his favorite wife Jane Seymour’s sudden passing. That’s when his eating really became out of control and that is said to have been when he truly became a monster.

It is worse than being burned at the stake, that is why the Catholic Church reserved boiling alive (rather than burning at the stake) for people of some intellect who might become serious challengers to doctrine. Unlike Rouse, who was boiled alive in water, the Catholic Church used a mixture of water and turpentine oil to make it even more painful.

[@marcvslicinivscrassvs7536]

Yep. Families of the condemned were known to pay executioners to make the executions as painless as possible. Skilled executioners knew what to do to make it easy for the victim. In the case of burning at the stake, the executioner knew how to set up the pyre so that the condemned would die of smoke inhalation long before the flames touched his/her toes. Same with the hangman. In the opposite cases for particularly hated people, the reverse was true. Boiling someone alive is pretty much unavoidable in the amount of misery you would feel.

[@Cyberhacker3]

Thats what makes "scaphism" the worst form of execution , it takes days , maybe even weeks to die despite the fact that the victim will be begging for death the entire time , because of the bugs they will feel crawling around inside their bodys as they rot alive. Even as their body starts to rot , there is nothing about scaphism that in itself will kill a person , so they have to wait for starvation to release them from misery.

This one was very sick. I have never heard of it until watching The Tudors. I'm not even sure if I watched it all the way through at that time. Henry was truly a sick individual, and I don't know if he was covering for himself, if he was that far off his rocker to want to poison a member of the clergy. In the show Richard Roose did it because he wanted to make a good match for his daughters. Honestly, considering he was tortured he might have straight up been lying about poisoning anybody.

[@fabiennemitchell2371]

It's a pity that The Tudors had so much unnecessary sexual content, as it was otherwise enjoyable. In particular, the torture and executions were exceptionally well presented as all of its horror was not explicitly shown but alluded to.

I've seen the Tudors. Unfortunately, there are things that can't be unseen. The torture of poor Anne Askew, John Constable's torture😬, all those men being hung in the battlefield while their wives are wailing😭, it's horrible! But it's a pretty interesting series.

What’s remarkable to me is, if Roose was innocent, then so too was Henry of any plot. If Henry was guilty and used agents to get Roose to do his bidding, then Roose was not only guilty but likely knew, who was behind it, in which case, why didn’t he bargain for his life or at least a swift death? Even if Roose didn’t know, Henry was behind it, he never identified those he was involved with, saying he did it for a joke, not realising death was possible. What did Roose gain from protecting those behind the plot? There is so much we don’t know. Did he really get racked? Few survive the rack, let alone are in any condition for execution soon afterwards. Did he have family? Were they under threat so he remained silent to protect them? Horrid times but also recent events have shown us that our history is heavily manipulated and it’s crystal clear that we live in a lie world, so who knows the truth!
