The man who came to be known as King Henry VIII would marry no fewer than six times, in pursuit of not only a male heir, but also of love. It’s hard to discern the man from the myth. But it's easy to see that Henry VIII has become the most infamous English King, and is remembered half a millennium later for his romantic passion and his tyrannous rule.

To quote Charles Dickens, "Henry the 8th was a big, greasy stain on the parchment of England's history." I couldn't agree more.
Agreed!
Agreed as well@@ClaudiaTellbüscher
tRump is a big, orange, ignorant stain on America's land
Not true.
If that's true why are you watching a doc on him? Why is he STILL so relevant and interesting 500 yrs later?
No wonder his daughter Elizabeth...one of the greatest rulers did not want to marry !!!
Elizabeth wasn't any greater than Henry.
@trawlins396 the facts speak for themselves !!
@@trawlins396she didn't have thousands upon thousands of her citizens beheaded, boiled alive, burned at the stake, etc as her dear daddy is.
The size of that codpiece is a giggle. Looks like a good place to stash the car keys.
Actually it really did serve as a purse. As well as emphasizing other goods...
Wow, what ignorant behaviour to display, the so called "giggle" is on YOU.
HENRY OWNED A MOTORCYCLE :)
Henry VIII did what he did and all for nothing. His dynasty lasted no longer than his children. His glorious successor was not his son but the little red haired girl that he didn't want who was born on September 7 1533. She was one of England's greatest rulers that ever existed. This little red haired girl ruled with her head and not with her heart. She had the heart and stomach of king.
From what I read he was very fond of Elizabeth until her mother’s fall. Of course, right before that, he suffered a permanent brain injury in a fall during a tournament. He’s personality, never that great, changed dramatically after that.
@@dvkaw7780 he wanted a boy. He was trying to secure the succession. Look what happened back in 1135 when a woman tried to be queen in her own right. I mean look what happened during Henry's fathers lifetime. Remember the wars of the roses? Yes other countries had women rulers like isabella I of spain and margaret I of denmark. But these were different countries. Not England. He really wanted a son to continue the Tudor line through the male line. That was his focus. Yes both of his daughters were strong but he wanted a son to sit on the throne. He wanted Anne Boleyn to give him a son that is why he risked invasion and civil war. He broke with 1000 years of religious tradition for her and the hopeful son she would give him. Not for another girl.
That's so eloquent ❤
The irony of it all 😂
His dynasty echoes today thru the break from the catholic church. Not the legacy he wanted, but one that has outlasted his direct ancestors.
" She's afforded a private execution " Gee, thanks a lot.
Hahahaha, good one😂
Yeah, wasn't that nice of him?😕
Comfort is all.
"as a man he was intelligent but vain, hotheaded but benevolent. As a husband he was generous and kind" Wow - what a joke!! This guy was an idiot who was ruled by his lust and insane need for a male heir. He treated Katherine of Aragon horribly, even though she helped him at every turn. He made sure that she didn't see her daughter for years before she died. He married a teenager, ruined her life and then had her beheaded - these are just a few of the horrible things he did. He was a tyrant who would turn on a dime and got rid of anyone who opposed him or disagreed with him. One of the worst rulers of England.
Totally agree. He was arrogant and disgusting. He killed thousands of his countrymen because he believed he had a good given right...
Not to mention that Katherine of Aragon won a war for Henry, whilst he was poncing about France.
Henry destroyed the lives of 4 of his wives, Anne of Cleves and Catherine Parr survived but not without a few scars.
The guy was a complete git.
You know female rulers have done this too right?
@@aarons6935 The video was about Henry VIII, not a female ruler.
@@historylover21 I made that comment because you're clearly the kind of person to blame everything on men.
Harry looks like Henry the Vlll
Harry is not of Royal Blood, he's not Charles son, his father is James Hewitt
Monarchs are ridiculous as is all absolute power! Law and order yes, Kings are and will forever be man’s misfortune.
Thats why the provisions of oxford and the magna carta exist.
Thats why the iilluminati hide in the shadows
Fascinating so interesting, I have always been interested in the Tudor period in history 👍👍
Henry VIII…the first man to ever wear Mary Jane’s 🤭
Can we just talk about the excellent background music 🎶 loving these documentaries
Those charges aginst ann were disgusting . And henry must have known they were all lies . Heknew she was way too smart to chance anything like adultery and incest was ridiculous !
Of course he knew he just wanted rid of her asap
Henry VII story to gain the throne is incredible. The perseverance and determination is immense.
Mary Boleyn is the ancestor of Princess Diana
Henry VII is an underrated King. He may well be one of the greatest Kings in English history. He did a lot for England.
He was a psychopath I believe. But not a severe case. Much of it came from his personality mixed with his environment. But he also became more calloused. I don't think he would have been as cruel had he been non psychopathic. Psychopaths can be very calloused when they discard someone. They can be loyal partners up until they're not, until they want a new toy. And if they want to gain at the expense of the partner, then they'll attempt to do so. They can do very seriously evil things and I have heard some real horror stories.
Henry VIII is the king responsible for making Britain a world power through the build up of it's Navy.
@DavidJohnRedwood You are one of those people that scours the internet just looking for people to disagree with.
@@christophersanders5007i was about to say the very same thing about you...
@@christophersanders5007i was just about to say the same thing to you.
You are correct, my friend!
I love the way they mention in history that he broke with the Catholic Church, but didn’t he do that so he could marry another woman while divorcing his first wife? He was a psychopath
Knocking each other off horses at full speed is completely bloody nuts ! Especially for a king . Poor horses . I feel for the animals they have no choice in what they do . Horses are meant to be wild and free .
30:49 The accident apparently also instantly ages him by 30 decades
Incredibly blood thirsty King Henry VIII
And the British still carry on this monarchy Wild!
KH 8 was a sociopath. A cruel man who only cared about him self. it is well to call him a Tyrant king.
Great program 😊❤
At 20:30 it mentions that Thomas More was replaced as the Lord Chancellor. I don't know how that missed the edit room. It's Thomas Cromwell. Thomas More was long dead by that time.
actually it's Thomas Wolsey as that's who they are talking about at that time in the video
@@Pixiestix4681 Thomas Wolsey dies on the way to his trial. Thomas Cromwell is replaced as Lord Chancellor. The next section after correctly discusses Thomas Cromwell who then brought about the fall of Anne Boleyn.
@Viscount3 when wolsey falls- Moore is appointed chancellor. Moore doesn't die until Anne is almost queen. Thomas Cromwell isn't replaced until Anne of Cleaves is divorced. Check your facts. It's wrong yes but you're still staying the wrong person.
@@Pixiestix4681 Perhaps you're right and I'm getting confused on the wording. Too many Thomas' to keep track of although they all lived very interesting lives and more or less ended up in the same spot at the end.
I don’t understand why Henry was actually surprised when poor Jane Seymour died and I used the term loosely poured. She was cheating with Henry while he was still a married man to Ann did he really expect things to go his way all hunky-dory after he had an beheaded for doing nothing. She did not do those crimes and he knew it. There was no evidence at all. They never found any evidence of her adultbehavior
Very good point
@DavidJohnRedwood and ironically enough, it was her daughter that became one of the greatest English monarchs in history and the Tudor Dynasty died with her😂😂 KARMA is a Biiiiiiiiitch😂
Breaking away from the cult of catholicism was smart that long ago and goofs still wearing the costume😂
Correction. The henry the great ship did not weight 1000 tons instead had a capacity of one thousand tons. One Ton means to hold 100 cubic feet water is equal to one ton.
It needed to have a capacity of 1000 tons if it was to carry Henry.
Thank God for Henry VIII. If not for him, things would never have unfolded the way it did. If so, then maybe a small group of people might not have gotten tired of this english garbage and decided to break away.
Cromwell did not become Lord Chancellor. Otherwise, this is an excellent summary of Henry VIII. Well done!
gotta say. prolly the first time i seen the full "Portait Henry" Costume on TV or watever. Props to the costume department. Aliens must think were so f***king strange ahah. "Yea so they take these sticks and charge at each other full speed and try to hit one another off the quadrupeds. - Intrestesting, And this injured him - Oh yes for life."
If he was alive, there would't be tabloids, paparazzos or nutmeg 😂
Henry could have had his daughter Mary marry an English noble and Mary's son could be heir to the Tudor dynasty.
@@neptunedawn7121Mary did in fact marry to a prince of Spain, a close cousin, and had several phantom pregnancies or else miscarrys once and a phantom pregnancy that are documented. Elizabeth the first having watched what happened with her father, sister, and brother she refused to marry and decided that she would find a relative to rule after her which leads to James the first of England and third of Scotland. Henry tried to marry Mary off but couldn't find a good protestant prince. He was also severely worried about his own son and preparing him for kingship to worry too much about his two daughters that were pointless to the line of inheritance to the crown, or so he thought. Edward didn't make it a woman successor until he was dying and it wasn't his own sisters because neither swore allegiance to him.
@@automechs360Ectopic pregnancies.
😅 and no meghan markle (sorry cant help i
This woman lives rent-free in your head doesn't she? Get over it... Harry married a biracial woman. You'll survive....lls
Henry is proof that no matter what we do in this life, no matter the status, or wealth that we achieve, if it is not Gods divine will there is NOTHING we can do to change it… even for a king.
A kind husband? Tell that to Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, and Catherine Howard. He also had no problem bastardizing both of his daughters.
Stop it... I'm not crying, you're crying...
I love that his daughter ended his dynasty by not marrying 😂
ironic isn't it.
What’s more ironic is the battle between Elizabeth and Mary Queen of Scotts and then it all goes to Mary’s son anyway!

What an uneducated person,you are! They don't even have the same bloodline!
I thought the Church of England was Protestant?
My college European history is coming back to me - this guy was a real low-life! He cared nothing for his subjects, nor for any rules that limited his authority. He's the perfect example of what happens when a narcissist is given complete authority.
Did you say he had red hair??
The sound effects are so unnecessary and quite disruptive. Hard to watch even though the substance is good
This makes me fall asleep.❤
Henry grew to be old fat and funky. Not quite what he used to be,fact.But Henry didnt see himself that way.👑🤔
Anyone commenting must understand that he lived in a world most cannot comprehend.
Stop making excuses for european horrors
They don't care. They only believe what they watched on the "tudors". People are ignorant of the truth.
They only believe what they see on the "tudors".
Yep. Like only Europeans had horrors to speak of, smh.
Henry as king was supposedly the closest person on earth , to God. He was supposedly God's emissary on earth . But slashing and murdering his way to making himself so legally was against all of God's teachings ! There is son much going on here it's I possible to comment on it all . Why could Katherine not have granted the divorce . If she made it a condition that her daughter was next in line if there was no male heir then what was the problem. I think she played a very bad hand here . She could have saved so many from death. In fact who would care if her daughter didn't become queen . She would have been so much better without being queen .
I believe very little of this. musician. scholar athletic. And incredibly handsome well, he must have been the only good-looking Englishman ever.
why is this reuploaded?
If Henry were to be alive today, is there any more modern day/more current than his time (or present day) ruler(s) that you think is similar to him (or how he ruled)? Of course taking into account the modernization of things.
Putin an authoritarian who eliminates rivals.
Yes, I can think of a particular modern fellow I like to refer to as the Cantaloupe Caligula.
Great video and first 🎉
Who is the obese actor who plays the obese King Henry VIII in this video? 🎭🩰🎨
Very Good!! This Is Wonderful, Great Job! The beginning reminds me of what Meghan desires will happen for her & Harry. The gal just couldn't bare to be Only A Duchess. Thankfully we don't live in the Medieval Times. She's the type to make it happen I think. History knows it occurred many times.
This is a ridiculous comment.
People want accurate facts but the truth is ---- History all depends on the publisher lol
As if anyone, other than maybe a very small group of closely guarded people, actually knew how these monarchs acted. Everyone else is making assumptions based on a very small collections of excerps written by people jealous of royalty.
Did anyone else notice Benedict Cumberbatch at 34:50 or is that just me ?
It had to be the ultimate slap in the face when Elizabeth I was born after all the hell he had put the country through to marry Ann Boleyn.
I can never understand why we have to hear multiple experts repeating the same facts one after the other
change the narrator to British..
I know why would they pick an Australian to narrate this?
The older Henry as depicted in this documentary resembles EVERLAST from House of Pain.
Excellente émission
H8 was the infertile one. Catherine should’ve just done the stable boy and saved all these women and herself from this nightmare. Although, it was pretty awesome how he ended up producing 2 female rulers with one outshining him x 1000.
A murderous madman
Henry may well have suffered from a case of CTE.
There are debates on how Arthur died. I've only seen a few secondary sources that list local sweating sickness, but I don't see any primary sources. Anyone have info?
Look at how Prince Edward died also Henry Fitzroy. As well as Henry Vll. Weak lungs. It's alluded that all of them died from TB.
The earliest primary source comes from a larger document called: *_"The Receyt of the Ladie Kateryne."_* Which was written at least four months after the death of Arthur, and possibly written by John Writhe, Garter King of Arms. This account described Arthur's death as: *_".. .. the most pitiful disease and sickness that with so sore and great violence had battled and driven, in the singular parts of him inward, [so] that cruel and fervent enemy of nature, the deadly corruption, did utterly vanquish and overcome the pure and friendful blood, without all manner of physical help and remedy."_*
Sweating sickness, was a disease of unknown cause that appeared in England (except in 1528-29) as an epidemic on five occasions-in 1485, 1508, 1517, 1528, and 1551. Prince Arthur died in 1502, a time when cases of this disease wasn't prevalent. Sweating sickness remains a mystery, as without DNA testing any hypothesis is just a theory. Contemporary scholars have suggested that the illness was caused by hantavirus infection.
The primary source could be interpreted and also misinterpreted as many things: "Sore and great violence," could be painful convolutions. "In the singular parts of him inward, [so] that cruel and fervent," could be a singular internal constant agonizing pain. "Deadly corruption," could be the four humours, or principal fluids - black bile, yellow bile, phlegm, and blood. "Vanquish and overcome the pure and friendful blood," likely describes blood letting. "Without all manner of physical help and remedy," means just what it says.
"The Receyt of the Ladie Kateryne" also states Kateryne & Arthur, both became inflicted with sickness at the same time. I don't know how her sickness was described, as it's behind a PayWall. But all later accounts should be viewed as dubious.
My apologies for the long rant of poor grammar in regards to your question, but OCD & Time allowed / prevented me from simply answering it without explanation. Wiki, Google, or others, state the cause of death for Arthur from much later elaborated sources and provide little to no reference from which their information was obtained.
HIGHLY suggest searching for the RUclips channel: History Calling, and her video called: Tragic Death and burial of Prince Arthur Tudor | What killed Prince Arthur | Grave of Prince Arthur.
She is outstanding at finding & reading primary sources and discusses simply without prejudice in a uniquely calming toned down Irish accent any relevant faults or doubts in primary & later sources.

@@straingedays That's the way of YT. Once you get on their "to delete" list, very few of your comments will ever see the light of day.
Henry's dynasty did not end with Elizabeth but with his son Edward. No child born of Mary or Elizabeth could bear the Tudor name. Any child born of the sisters would bear the husband's name. I am amazed how people overlook that surnames in that time were patrilineal. Henry's first child Mary followed Edward on the throne. It was Mary who laid the foundations for much of what Elizabeth achieved.

Why do modern English historians all have fancy earrings and arm sleeves, a bit gawdy, no? Show some respect for the craft.
A malignant narcissist
Related to ALL UIS Presidents..
I’m not sure why they said he was so beautiful and good looking because if he looks anything like those portraits, he was far from it🙄
Typical serial killer...
Isn’t being a tyrant a prerequisite to becoming a King?
(PART 2 … see PART 1 in above comment)
I will concede that the treatment of his dear friend Sir Thomas More is a mystery to me. They were such good friends, or at least historical documents suggest as much. How he could mistreat Thomas More as King Henry did, a result of their differences concerning the Catholic Church and the divorce matter, and then his subsequent execution. It seems senseless. Could they not have just agreed to disagree? Keep in mind though, Sir Thomas More had many non-Catholics burned at the stake for heresy. Yes. Nothing saintly about that. But I know ... there is always more to the story than we are privy to. And distorted by many with less than honorable intentions. Only God knows, and maybe one day we will find out in the hereafter.
Fascinating history, with many more details. In fairness to detractors of Henry’s behavior with unfavorable views of him overall, he did have his brutal moments and seasons apart from his medical/mental struggles. I ask what King or Queen didn’t? But it is hard to say IMO why and/or whether those who received harsh treatment/execution during Henry’s reign deserved it or not. There is much more to this story than the versions force fed to the unwashed masses via those with a less than honorable agenda. I personally believe Henry’s strong leadership as a MAN, tremendous national, even global reaching accomplishments, offends the modern-day feminist types, and prefer the “Tyrant” title as appropriate. I say BS.
So, I present only a small picture here. But keep in mind, that Henry VIII ruled for 37 years! He did amazing things besides having wives, that still affect the world today.
----He signed the ‘Universal and Perpetual Peace’ agreement with France via the Field of Cloth of Gold event during Henry and Wolsey’s initiated Congress between England and France in 1518. He was ~28 years old at the time. This brought the beginnings of Diplomacy into the arena of national affairs going forward as the new way to settle grievances and political disputes. Diplomacy continues to be widely touted in our modern times as the only practical way to peace and conflict resolution. This placed England firmly at the center of European politics, rather than the once prevailing view of England as a “rain-swept island at the edge of the known world”. Thank King Henry VIII for that.
----Education was highly regarded, encouraged, and supported, and many learning institutions were started to include prestigious colleges built and exist to this day. Oxford and Cambridge anyone? A direct result of Henry's doing as King.
----Henry is considered as the 'Father of the English Navy'. He built many advanced design naval ships of the day and developed naval war doctrine, and traditions that are used/built upon to this day as well. Upwards of 80 ships were in the Battle of the Solent in 1545 against a French invasion attempt. They failed. Henry understood warfare. Incidentally, the infamous Henry VIII flagship, the Mary Rose, was sunk at this time due to an error in the weight distribution of heavy guns, possibly because the crew left the lower gun port hatches open. Winds had buffeted the ship with a subsequent heeling over and water entering the lower ports, inundating the ship with tragic results. A painful loss for the King. In any event, consensus is that the world's most powerful Navy, the United States Navy, has been influenced largely by Henry's naval prowess, as we come from our cousins over the Atlantic. Yes. He also built numerous still-in-use Naval installations/ports in England.
----Developed a modern army and fortresses, modern for the times, with new and innovative weaponry. Many innovations still used today, and/or built upon, made England prosper and grow as a great empire and world superpower of the day. A direct influence on England's current status as a world power, politically, financially, and militarily. He established the ‘Council for Marine Causes’ which would become the Admiralty, and he transformed his ships and the way they fought from unwieldy vessels carrying soldiers who would board an enemy and fight it out hand to hand, to sleek, fast ships armed with heavy cannon which would blast their enemy into submission. For the first time the kingdom had a standing royal navy, consisting of a fleet of battleships.
----He combined Imperial and Feudal Concepts. He curbed the power of noblemen and their families. Instead, he enhanced the power of the monarchy and the parliament. He paved the way for the Constitution of England, albeit, an uncodified Constitution that is nonetheless recognized in many instances by Parliament and the modern British judicial system. Acts of Parliament were now executed as the norm. Lordships were abolished, the land divided into counties, with royal officials appointed, and members of parliament sent to Westminster. A monarch’s sovereignty now sourced from parliament … no longer the Pope. These legal and political reforms have endured to the present. Not many monarchs of England can claim the enduring accomplishments such as those of King Henry the VIII.
----He separated from the Catholic Church. Much due to the divorce issue the Pope would not grant him with Catherine of Aragon after 24 years of marriage. Corruption of the church was a factor as well. True...divorce is wrong other than for adultery, though God would prefer forgiveness and resolution even for adultery, but the King's 'matter' for Henry, was overwhelming to him to the core. It was anathema to not to have an heir. A son. So, he split from the Catholic Church and created the Church of England, which exists today. This got him his divorce. As a result, eventually, the Bible was allowed into the hands of the common man (coincidence? ordained?), rather than just Catholic priests preaching via Latin vulgate/scriptures/masses, which most commoners did not speak, were illiterate, nor were they permitted to own a bible, on pain of death.
These were the times of Martin Luther and his 95 Theses challenges addressing Catholic Church corruption. Henry and Martin knew each other. Did not agree on many matters and let each other know as much. Exciting times indeed. These times were the start of the Gospel being available to all (who could read), to the unwashed masses, which had its roots in part, to Henry and Luther’s actions, regardless of their differences. The Bible was now being printed in English, albeit a very slow process that took many years to come to full fruition, culminating in the King James version via King James I in 1611. Though the 1599 Geneva Bible was developed ~50 years earlier.
It's worth noting here that Henry was pious, albeit his view was somewhat distorted from the environment/culture he was brought up in, yet he was very learned and well versed in spiritual matters. He was originally groomed as a child, up to his brother Arthur's death, to have a career in religious life, educated by the best England had to offer, and ultimately serve the Catholic church in some capacity, almost certainly a Cardinal … or better. But those were the times. We must look at these issues through the lens of those who lived 500+ years ago.
----Architecture was a huge Henry VIII effort. Many new building designs and techniques were employed under his charge. He built a tremendous number of structures, many of which were wonders and some that still stand today.
----Henry was an avid Natural Health advocate, even for those times. He is thought to have created many apothecary-like medicines, which were recorded in medical documents. “Henry’s Little Prescription Book” or “Dr. Buttes Diary” contains around 200 recipes for Tudor treatments and approximately half of the treatments are thought to have had Henry’s own hand in the creation of them. Medicine would never be the same. By Royal Decree he established what would become the Royal College of Physicians, and followed that up with an Act of Parliament which remains in force today. It was a first step to pry medicine away from superstition and setting the stage for medicine as a scientific pursuit.
---- Henry’s impact on English culture was just as profound. He patronized some of the best artists of his day and arts and architecture flourished during his reign. It was under Henry, not Elizabeth, that the great art forms of sonnet and blank verse were created. When he issued the first official Complete Works of Chaucer, Henry invented a national poet, a repository of England and Englishness. A literary past that would run alongside the new history of England created for his Church of England. In some ways, it was Henry who invented the very idea of what it means to be English.
---He was an accomplished musician, singer, poet, and developed/contributed to many modern musical concepts/styles, etc. Wrote a number of musical compositions, a few famous to this day.
Fat Henry looks like Action Bronson
Henry did all that if u stoped being so blind in wanting a son his daughter Mary could have married young produced children if he didn’t kill his two wife’s Elizabeth probably wouldn’t have been scared to Marry mary Tudor could have even became queen and his dynasty could have continued but instead he wanted to do all that just to have a son that didn’t even last to adult age
You forget that up to his time there had not been a successful queen of england. Not one that did not bring war behind her. He was not alone in thinking that there had to be a man on the throne of england.
I love history, but how many Tudor documentaries can they keep wash, rinse and repeat? The Shakespeare Tudor propaganda still reigns in the modern era of 2024 lol 😂

American documentary 😳
in the dictionary the word karma should simply show his image
I enjoyed the music more than the narration!
He wouldnt have executed Catherine to marry Anne, Anne and Catherine Howard were executed because they cheated which is kinda hypocritical but that's the 16th century for ya. Doubt Anne cheated but Catherine Howard definitely did.
Royalty was built on the misery and misfortune of others, that's why they should not exist now.
Some seem to assume Henry was some sort of monster for his efforts to produce a male heir. I find that assessment rather dim. It was the king's primary duty because a male heir was the best means to secure the future peace of the realm. Ego and lust were no doubt a factor but nowhere near the priority.
Monster 👺
Oh fk this, , I've replied twice, , both times returning to this page my reply isn't visible or been deleted.
I understand i just posed a response that magically disappeared.
So basically the movies that show he only loved this one or that one is B.S. people he treated them all like female dogs and just wanted one to breed a son he must have learned how to behave around women from the women who raised him thats how he got his charm but it was alllll b.s. he was narcissistic and with all that power a tyrant, started stuff he couldnt finish ran out of money then tore churches down that people relied on for food shelter and schooling what a horrible person afforded her a private execution WOW how sweet of him. Then his son dies at 15, thank god for Elizabeth one of the greatest rulers how funny
Now let's talk about how muslims and many other cultures treat women to this day. Let's discuss how mohammed treated his nine year old wife. If we are going to cry about how bad women are treated, let's really cry...
Seems to me Henry’s whole rule was drivin by his ego and greed.
Some things never change in that part of the world.
