King Henry VIII is probably best know for what he did to his wives than anything he did as King of England. In today's educational cartoon we are looking at King Henry VIII and why he executed several of his wives.

A bit of history for you: the night before Catherine Howard was beheaded, she asked for a block to practice laying her head for the execution happened. She spent hours in her cell practicing before she was beheaded

[@equestriangirly2296]

Some historians claim that it was in fact Anne of Cleves who was visibly disgusted when she first lay her eyes on the obese king. According to people his foul smell (he festering wounds) also made him unpleasant to be near. Henry VIII therefore instinctively reacted like a hurt child and probably thought:"No, I am NOT repulsive! SHE is! How dare she thinking such a handsome king like me looks repulsive?? That German harlot!" And the more she rejected him, the mere he made sure it was in fact *him* who had found *her* repulsive to those who chronicled his life.

5:55 The fact that henry ordered the executioner of calais wasnt a gesture of love or kindness! he did it because anne was the first queen to be executed, so he was already taking a risk to his image by executing her. queens who committed adultery before anne were either kept on house arrest or sent to a nunnery. if anne had a botched, painful execution, word would get around and henry's image would have been ruined. and there's the fact that the way criminals were treated in prison and executed was according to their rank. for example, for some offences, commoners were hanged, drawn and quartered, while noblemen were beheaded, the least painful form of execution, because of their high rank. it was the custom. so while anne was an anointed queen, they had no choice but to get her an exceptional executioner and give her a decapitation by sword. it wasnt henry being merciful

[@KL-ki8db]

I guess by contrast to Katherine Howard's execution with a clumsy axe, it is more merciful.

Don't think it was tradition. It was more based on Henry's fantasies of his story books namely Robin Hood. It would be very understandable for Anna to be frightened and offended because where she came from it was greatly frowned upon to do what Henry did.

1:07 - Producing a son was especially important for Henry since he didn't have any other close male relatives (brothers, nephews, male first cousins) to fall back on; his only living relatives closer than at least the third-cousin point were his two sisters.

His nephew was literally the King of Scotland.

6:47 I read that book by Margaret George twice! It is truly amazing. It’s almost 1000 pages, but you are gripped by the story if you are interested in Henry VIII. I couldn’t put it down!

Funnily enough the musical Six (about Henry's wives) compares Anne of Cleves' situation to a dating app. There's a line in her song that says "you said that I tricked ya/cause I didn't look like my profile picture" and they literally create a tinder-type setting in the show. It's really well done and also hilarious.

Okay but why are many of the women dressed in rococo or regency dresses? Rococo fashions weren't around until 200 years after Henry VIII's death, and the regency dresses weren't until over 300 years after his reign.

Also anne of cleves definitely had it the best after, she never had to do anything nasty with him since he was unattractive and found her unattractive.

i think catherine howard had possibly the worse experience, she was only 17-19 when she was murdered and she was described as being free-willed and giggly, she loved to dance and she just seemed to want someone who truly loved her and treated her well, she was also very important to elizabeth 1 and elizabeth never forgave her father for what he did to her.
