- Throughout the reign of King Henry VIII, the infamous Tudor monarch executed up to 70,000 people inside of his own Kingdom, and this included two of his own wives. But those who were of very noble status and birth were allowed what was regarded as a private execution away from the eyes of the general public inside of the Tower of London. Truth be told, when these executions were carried out inside the Tower, there would actually be hundreds of witnesses some of whom even snuck into the fortress as the gates were regularly accidentally left open. But one woman who is often forgotten about when compared with the two wives of the King who was condemned inside of the Tower was a woman who had royal blood, and who many regarded as had a legitimate claim to the English throne. Some classed Margaret Pole the Countess of Salisbury as someone who had a better claim to the throne than Henry VIII, but the King would dispatch her at the hands of a brutal executioner who made a terrible job of the execution. But centuries later the body of Margaret Pole was dug up and exhumed inside of the Tower of London’s chapel, but what is the story of this?
Lady Margaret Pole is my ancestor ( on my mother's side) and it's so heartbreaking to imagine all that she endured in the hands of Henry the tyrant.
Since he apparently was responsible for more deaths than his three kids together, it's Henry who deserves the epithet that Mary I was stuck with: "Bloody Harry" suits him fine.
If Henry VIII had been a woman, they would’ve called him something similar but “Bloody Harry” is perfect!
Margaret’s brother Edward was executed by Henry VIII’s father Henry VII because his very existence was a threat to his reign. Margaret was no threat to Henry VIII he executed her to get back at her son Reginald. Henry VIII was a cruel and vicious king.
Henry the XIII was a BUTCHER
Margaret Pole was loyal to the Tudors, served as Mary’s governess, and was a close friend and loyal to Catherine of Aragon. Margaret Pole was executed because Henry VIII could not get his hands on Reginald Pole, who prudently stayed out of England. Her execution was a judicial murder. Henry was a murderous king who left England broke and in financial distress.
Henry was actually a good king to the people in general. It's only if you got to close that you were in danger.
I can’t imagine what Henry VIII’s eternity in Hell must be like. Just one evil man.
Not in his mid to latter years, once the jousting accident had infected his blood for the rest of his life. Could turn anyone’s brain without modern medication,
You usually have to die on a battlefield to get that sort of treatment done to your body. Poor woman.
Search an awful and horrific death for this poor lady. I think the choice of executioner was thought out very well on Henry side that he really intended to shame her and her son for beliefs that differed away from the King
Henry no tenía creencias sino objetivos; él creía lo que quería y su poder absoluto le permitía hacer ejecutar a quien le estorbaba y hacerse con sus bienes. Sin necesidad de subir impuestos era rico al apoderarse de los bienes de la iglesia, órdenes religiosas y nobleza. Por eso era popular.
Can you imaging the horror of feeling being hit by an age and on adrenaline jump up from the block?
What?
*axe
I think there's a special place in Hell for Henry... That is if he did not repent of his sins before he died, of which there were many!
I was shown an ornate stone crypt inside😂 Salisbury cathedral (?) dedicated to her, by one of her descendants
Poor woman.
This is all so sad 😢
Of the blood-soaked Tudors, Mary was the least bloody.
Learn a bit more about Tudor history.
💯
Poor woman, absolutely horrific.
Poor woman. Henry was such a terrible human being. A cold blooded murderer.
It's a wonder that any decent human being managed to survive in that time. Just existing was a threat to the Monarchy.Sad.
Not for ordinary people. Only the Court was dangerous for some.
The comment made by Henry viii regarding the elevation to Cardinal and the recipient having no head to wear the hat if it arrived was made regarding Bishop John Fisher of Rochester, a supporter of Katherine of Aragon.
Closed captions?? The auto generated one is not accurate.
Henry was a psychopath.
Please????? Can you find out why two small arched windows on the top floor of the Tower. That are over the entrance used by the tourists visiting. You can see I believe eight windows with two of them bricked up ( or stoned up). I have for years tried to learn the reason for this even sending requests and emails to the Tower workers but have never received a reply. Could you possibly find out and maybe do a video as to the reason.
Those are the windows of the room where Edward Plantaganet was kept. They were sealed on order of Henry VII. He couldn't allow any possibility of Edward being rescued. Or, allow anyone to see or speak with him. As he was the rightful heir to Henry's throne.
He was kept in solitary confinement, in the dark. From childhood until murdered in his early teens. Once again on Henry VII orders.
I know she was an elder lady, but it would have been awesome! Considering the circumstances, if Margaret could have wrestled with the executioner, took the axe 🪓 away from him, and used it on him!
70k? wow!
The comment about cardinal hat is not about reginald pole but for john fisher, a bishop henry executed. I really like how the narrator tell story but the facts seems to be jumbled and spliced together.
Christ Jesus Shall Revenge
for soon all will be raised up some too Everlasting Life
others to eternal Damnation ❤😢😢this country has much Blood spilt ❤and will pay during the Day of the Lord which is not far away ❤
Thank you so sad evil were Henry the Eighth and many others
The headline is a lie!
I think it’s supposed to be a figure of speech like “uncovering” something
There is a excellent TAN BOOK on this period in English history title "The Rise & Growth of the Anglican Schism" by Nicholas Sander first published about 1583 reprinted by Tan Books (extensive footnotes) on this treacherous period of English history. 🦘
