King Henry VIII liked to live large and luxurious 365. But especially at Christmas. He and his wife of the moment enjoyed decadent feasts including classics we know today like mince pie and gingerbread and more surprising fare like swan, brawn and boars head. All washed down with copious quantities of mead, gruit and wine. His majesty received gop-smackingly expensive and highly political Christmas presents. He partied, played games and generally made himself a very merry monarch indeed. So don your dashing doublet and pull up your hose or lace up your loveliest corset and gown - not too tight! And lets enjoy King Henry VIII’s Christmas feast!
Plum Pottage, Mince Pie, Plum pudding, Christmas pudding
Salad
Roasts: Peacock, partridge, swan, brawn and boars head
Banquet course (dessert) gingerbread, marzipan, sugar plate, royal icing

“He and his wife of the moment”
The justified shade, I cannot 😂
"He and his wife of the moment" 😭
Anne of Cleves and Katherine Howard dancing together? Never would’ve thought, but it’s nice they got along.
Better still... Katherine gave copious amounts of gifts to Anne, as if there was an air of apprehension in her household pre-event.
Weird to consider how timeless certain awkward human interactions are ... Let alone staged diplomatic setups.

Ikr!
They reused pie crusts for multiple pies? That absolutely blows my mind.
Makes you wonder how hardy the crust was don't ya lol. And whether even if they wanted to eat the crust was it even possible when it was made the first time? Probably break a few teeth maybe 😂!
This tradition is mentioned in sing a song of sixpence. Sometimes live birds would be put inside for a bit of entertainment. The version we know today was written in 1780 200 years after king Henry
What nursery rhyme?
The crusts were very thick and not eaten. They were sometimes called a coffin
They weren't made for eating. They didn't taste good. Essentially they were a plate/bowl
It explains his expanding waistline doesn't it😂
Just a tad lol
On one hand, delicious. On the other hand, I get why he weighed like 500lbs at the end of his life more than ever.
I stood in the fireplace at Hampton Court… it was huge! I guess they needed it for the large courses at their meals 😂
Hampton court is one of my favourite places after The Tower of London, that’s my dream home and job lol
I like how you added him and his wife AT THE MOMENT 😅
“A sturdy crust could be used again and again…” 😮
I love the amount of precious, interesting details you put in your videos. I can almost imagine what life was like back then
i always wonder what it was like to work in the kitchens during the holidays. i bet the gossip about the rich guests was top tier
@@1cornicon679 the gossip must have been juicy! Also working as a chambermaid must have been the ultimate way to know everything about a person's intimate life

In Iowa there's a place Salisbury house and gardens that is modeled after English manors. It's like going through various periods of history despite being built in the 1920s. There's even a fireplace that has a Tudor rose on it and has a massive art collection. I've been there twice and once I pointed out which rose was which on the fireplace. One room is modeled after the wooden Tudor dining rooms.

"and the Queen of the moment..."
am i watching this right after watching Tasting History's episode about boar's head? yes.
am i entertained? obviously!
great episode, once again!
A feast for a king! Perfect timing! Happy holidays girl! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
"Queen of the moment" I love it!
I’ve never been so early to a Tea Time video!! I love your videos! I’m enjoying watching them while painting my nails for Christmas 🎄

Interesting to think Henry was once on good terms with Hans Holbein, considering how Henry would later claim Anne of Cleves looked nothing like her portrait
This is a fantastic documentary🙂👍. Tudor age feasts always interest me especially our largest monarch in history at 28 stone at the time of his death.
Going to be honest as I sip on my Earl Grey tea I can't help but just about get a stomach ache just watching this! Think I almost feel drunk just watching this🥴.
I have seen a number of these videos on the Tudor kitchens, what they cooked and ate so interesting.
Thank you so much for all your work and effort you put in this.

I absolutely adore your royal Christmas feast videos!!!!
They are brilliant. I’m getting hungry 🤤 lol
@@katherinewithak2865 Yesss ! Can’t wait for my own holiday dinner 🍽️
Can you do something closer to home like Mardi Gras? I grew up in Louisiana and it's so fascinating but so secretive with how they do the 'krews'
In Tampa we have Gasparilla and we too have Krews my father’s family is in one of them (rough rider)I’d be interested to hear about Mardi Gras too and your krews ❤
I love how you said "wife 'at the moment'" 😂
Wow that's a big feast.😮
Feasting was also a pagan celebration as was the yule log, tge Norse would burn an entire oak tree for 12 days and the celebration of Jól (yule)
I've seen Mrs. Crocombe make some of these dishes.
Love the JC Leyendecker painting at 16:05 😭❤️

Just saw Max Miller’s video on Boar’s Head Christmas so this counts as a bonus medieval history video.
My dad used to make a version of Suet Pudding brought over by ancestors in the 1600s. He served it with a hard sauce. I have the recipe stored in several places and shared it with other family friends when he passed away in 2007. It's pretty good.
Enjoying an eating feast made out of animals of the tutor era in England.
How about the holiday feast of Stuarts era or Handover era?

Lindsey, I love your videos on Christmas traditions in history.
Could you do a video about Christmas in early
America with our Forefathers, or perhaps
how Christmas was celebrated during war time?
She left out Canada and it's widely served during our Thanksgiving and Christmas
No wonder he was over 300 pounds when he died. He sure loved to eat 😂
The Christmas song by Henry made laugh cause of whoever was singing it. I had no idea he made a Christmas song, I will definitely search it and listen to the entirety of the song.
As my daddy used to say, "Me, I like to eat till my belly swells round and full. Till I get so big I attract the women with my gravitational pull."
Plum Pudding sauces:
Brandy Sauce is a brandy laced custard.
Hard Sauce is a mixture of sweet butter, sugar, and brandy that has a firm "hard" consistency.
Merry Christmas to you Lindsay 🎄🧑🎄
Henry Vlll is fabulous 👌 👏 👍 😍
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's to you as well, from "across the pond". More specifically, from Henryville Indiana, in the United States. I hope you have a blessed holiday season.

Jennifer Love Hewitt from Family Guy: "You ordered a pie for an appetizer?"
With all of these days of feasting what did they do for bathrooms? They didnt have indoor plumbing back then. The sanitation and smells must have been horrendous.
Castles and palaces had privies which were basically little closets built against the outer wall of a building, and there would simply be a shaft leading to the castle exterior. Visiting castles today and looking below the privy shafts, you can still see the fertile results from hundreds of years ago. Aside from that, most people would have simply went for a walk outside. The thing to keep in mind is that yes, sanitary standards were much lower, but we are still talking about people here and they would have had SOME standards for themselves. There is an olfactory and evolutionary imperative to not shit where we eat.
A hundred years after Henry, when palaces started getting really decadent, the ultra-wealthy started having interior privy rooms with little stools that contained chamber pots. That was the precursor to our modern bathroom.
thank you
I'm impressed by your research! I suspect no one would believe the extravagance, had there not been some accounts/ledgers written.

Really am so glad I discovered your videos they are wonderful to listen to. It's like story time and I can imagine everything that you're talking about back in the day
I love learning something new 😊 , lol giving me ideas for Christmas
My family has flaming persimmon pudding with hard and soft sauce, as a Christmas tradition dessert.
How can he eat after beheading two wives?
"Over spiced" Lindsay how are you seasoning your food?! 😂

Plum pudding is known as Christmas pudding these days, and is made in a pudding basin rather than a cloth although the scots make a similar dish called a clootie dumpling which is cooked in a cloth
He's a big man indeed.😊
Merry Christmas Lindsay, all the best and have a great 12 days of Christmas! Ciao. Keep all this coming. Love your podcasts.
❤❤ so excited for this! I love the ones about Queen Victoria and the German Kaiser
Your videos are always nice, I learn so much from them. Also, your voice is really soothing and easy to listen to. I´d say you will hit the 1 million subscribers after the tour in May.
Are we sure he wasn't related to Trump somehow ?? 😂😂
Not the wife of the moment!! Lmao
His dish of roasted boar’s 🐗 head is one that I might try at this time next year; it’ll go good with roast goose, and I’ll bet that the alleged turkey leg some artists who have depicted him nibbling is really a goose leg.
Happy Holidays everyone!!
I like knowing what people throughout history ate. I was watching Jon Townsends when this popped up
Isn't this where we get the little jack horner nursery rhyme?
Iconic codpiece!
The EXCESS is truly astonishing. No thanks to all that!
Yep, Elizabeth 1 loved her sweets….ha..me too.
I love this! I would love to see a food centered video for a lot of royal history honestly. That’d be awesome!❤
Do you watch Tasting History?
@@Levacque I do sometimes but I hate to admit it, I’m not the biggest fan of the host 😬 😅 he seems like a nice and knowledgeable guy, it’s nothing personal but he just annoys me a little.
@@BloodSweatandFears
Ok valid! I love him, but I have that feeling about other RUclips hosts. I'm like, "All the pieces are here, this channel is great, I should be interested, but [this person] gets under my skin."
@@Levacque Exactly! And it’s not his fault at all he knows what he is talking about/cooking, so I feel bad 😂
Love your channel ❤ thank you always great informative info ❤
You said that his mother threw a fun Christmas parties. It would interesting to hear about them.
I have on dvd Lucy Worsley twelve days of tudor Christmas and it gives insight to how henry viii spent Christmas. It shows Dr. Lucy literally dressing up as a young henry viii and eating mince meat pies and a real boars 🐗 head boiled in red wine. Of course she was not a fan of the boars ear she tasted dipped in mustard. But at the end of the documentary she heald a reenactment of the a real life Christmas court like in henry viii time. Dr. Lucy dressed like her favorite wife of Henry's Anne Of Cleves. She even tried a very large spice cake and marzipan chess pieces that tasted like rose soap. They even did a remake of a masque. It was delightful to watch. I watch it every year around the holidays to get me in the Christmas mood. 😊
Thank you for your videos.
I recently just found your channel and I'm watching every video from the beginning.
For someone like me who gets bored while reading about history, this place is just like heaven.
Thank you very much❤❤❤❤
Can you please make more videos about british royal family jewelry and HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales?
Welcome!
@@LindsayHolidayyou're amazing girl 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Welcome!
This channel is about history. Recent royals like King Charles III or Catherine, Princess of Wales etc. should only be in videos based on historical facts.
There are tons of videos about the royal family including the current Princess of Wales on other channels.
@@HNSCAPMCA I always believed the comment section is where opinions are shared.
I have a heck of respect for Catherine, the princess of Wales. But since she is still very much alive, I do not see her as a historical figure. But too me, this is what this channel is about.
@@HNSCAPMCA As much as I agree with you on that those things should be reported, I just don't think a history channel is the right place to do so. Much of what HRH Catherine, The Princess of Wales did and does is in the very recent past, present and future. History is about the past, usually the not so recent one.
I appologize if I hurt you.
He played games til he can no longer do so 🤣
The soggy bottom thrown to the dogs… or the peasants 😅
Oh gosh the guy puking up wine 😂
I wonder what people really talked about. After 7 hours and drunk. Who you sat by must have been important.
imagine if Elizabeth had her hands on what we know to be chocolate today! I never put it to thought before that she never tasted chocolate in her lifetime. Your videos are always so good!
13:43
Why is it that the nastiest sounding things always become "delicacies"?
Happy Christmas and Happy New Year to you !
Love this!! ❤
Love this!
Thx to the fool’s we’ve had such a wonderful life time 😂😂😂
❤
Please do more royal food videos!
It's my Dad's birthday today.
What a coincidence. It's my dad's birthday today too.
Happy birthday 🎈🎂
I'm hungry
Waiting for the next Christmas videos!
Enjoyed the video! I liked the grid of ingredients you would show and burst out laughing on seeing the lines to Henry VIII's song!
lmaoooo "wife of the moment"
🎄🎄
Christmas at Court always seemed like a fun time to be there!….
Otherwise I’m good, I’d prefer to keep my head attached to my body!
I can't believe chicken was considered a commoners meat.
It still is, even today.
So the Filipino presentation for lechon (roast pork with an apple in the mouth) during christmas and new year came from this English tradition? Interesting!
coool
EVERYONE QUIET!!!!!! New Lindsay Holiday video is up...
My great Nan used to do this before she died 8:17
Advance Merry Christmas everyone!
We now know that fasting, or atleast intermittent fasting, is perfectly safe! I would not believe that was Catherine's problem!
While intermittent fasting might be safe, I'm not sure if it's safe to do while pregnant.
@@anayadegani626 I actually agree with you now. People with eating disorders do strange things while pregnant. Fasting should not be added to their list or crazy options and obsessions!
Braun is considered souse in the south

Next year, could you do a "George Washington's Thanksgiving Table"?
How does 12th night tie into Dia de los Reyes, celebrated in Spanish-speaking cultures? Was it celebrated in Queen Catherine’s time? The date is the same and the cake looks similar. However, you hide a plastic baby doll in the cake today instead of beans and peas.
Hey how about you do the genetics about the Royal families currently deposed like Greece, Russia, Bulgaria, and the others
