  • Throughout History, Henry VIII was one of the most notorious and brutal Kings of England and he would execute 70,000 people inside of his kingdom. He is most remembered for having six wives and executing two of these, (Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard) but there were many more barbaric executions the Tudor King ordered that have been forgotten about.

      The cook wasn’t his. His name was Richard Rouse, or Roose, or possibly Cook, and he was accused of poisoning members of the household of John Fisher, Bishop of Rochester by putting a white powder into some porridge. He claimed he was given the powder and told to put it in the porridge as a joke. Two people died and Rouse was arrested and tortured for information. Henry’s part in the matter bearing in mind he was terrified of being poisoned, was to address the House of Lords on the case. He was probably responsible for an act of Parliament which attainted Rouse and made murder by poisoning a treasonous offence mandating execution by boiling and that is how Rouse died.

      They were all awful. Everywhere throughout the world and especially those who held power. Unfortunately, it was the time period they lived in and almost impossible to comprehend or make sense of over 500 years later. Hopefully, we have evolved much more as humans and aren’t as ignorant, power driven and fear based but then again….. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Learn from the past!

    francis I valois king of france,
    distant cousin to Henry VIII ... is called tyrant or formidable king of france...
    however, he executed far less people and did not execute any of his wives...
    maybe we should know him as *henry the terrible or henry the tyrant*,
    as in european history he is viewed as formidable for his long rule,
    less so compared to his daughter ELIZABETH I TUDOR... that was respected far & wide as most intelligent queen in christendom,
    even rivals and contemparies like queen catherine medici & her cousin queen mary stuart of scots , would have viewed elizabeth I as better ruler and less notorious than Henry VIII...
    he must go down, in european history as one of the most , notorious and infamous kings in english-british history by far,
    even his own nephew king james V of scots, thought so...
    very few kings, ever execute bishops and archbishops..
    even Henry II has a better reputation than henry 8th, even after the thomas a beckett affair...,
    possibly for publically regreting what happened,
    henry 8th did not regret anything he did...
    tudor court politics, and even executing your various ministers, was a common trait of henry VIII,
    probably thought the public fandom, was statisfied with here today- blamed and gone tomorrow...
    as for HENRY VII, he often is called a miserable old welsh miser or worse.., in reality he gets few if any books, tv series and only had one wife that he loved..
    often gets forgotten as the monarch that united the kingdom of england, wales & was lord of ireland...
    from feuding
    lancaster & york into peace after decades of war and depleted finances....,
    of course there was going to needed, a time to shore up finances and have peace with the old enemy of france..., war was too costly and did not achieve foreign policy,,,, , marriage was prefered...
    PROBABLY THE MOST FORGOTTEN
    VICTIM OF HENRY 8TH
    his distant cousin...
    Rhys ap Gruffydd (1508-December 1531) was a powerful Welsh landowner who was accused of rebelling against King Henry VIII by plotting with James V of Scotland to become Prince of Wales., many historians regard this as part of a welsh & later irish rebellion... ,
    wherby another distant cousin, the earl of kildare... was plotting to become king of ireland, therfore the acts of union and tudor conquest of ireland stepped up a pace...
    He was executed as a rebel. He married Lady Catherine Howard (b. abt 1499 Ashwellthorpe, Norfolk, England), the daughter of Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk and his second wife Agnes Tilney.
    By this marriage, he became the uncle of Queen Anne Boleyn and Queen Catherine Howard, and granduncle & distant cousin of Queen Elizabeth Tudor.
    90% of historians never every mention him, let alone his ancestery , his grandfather sir rhys ap thomas the knight of bosworth fame, magnate of tudor wales..., cousin to HENRY VII...
