@@wolfdreamer8113 actually Henry married her at around 17 so I doubt it would be inappropriate or creepy, especially considering that at that timeframe girls could get married a like 14 or so (im guessing, i know it couldn't be any higher than 13)
@@vaquishers Well maybe they would be married (or at least an agreement was made) BUT those marriages were rarely consummated right away, mostly due to the fact that a literal child having to go through a pregnancy wasn't ideal. Actually I researched a topic where I also came across the marriage ages of several noblewomen in the 16th century and they were all 19-20ish or even older. Granted, they were german and danish ladies, not english, but I doubt that makes much of a difference.
@@lequariousroberson9777 you seemed surprised to hear about Henry, which made me go "Wait... does this guy not know what the shows about?" So, yeah, what a twist
Not sure if you want it but here's some disturbing context. Even though it seems like Kathrine is an adult by the end of the song, she was actually beheaded at 17. She never even got to be an adult. This becomes even worse when you know Thomas (the courtier) was a serial rapist; Kathrine was beheaded for being sexually assualted by him as it was deemed unfaithful. Kathrine Howard was preyed upon by old men all her life and only knew abuse. By 9 she'd lived over half her life. Her life was horrific.
@@lequariousroberson9777 Yeah its really freaky what people can do. Sorry to put a damper on such an awesome animatic but I feel like the context is really vital to understanding Tudor England and K Howard herself. I recommend Sam Pauly's performance of this song. She conveys the emotions and conflict really well.
wait...so if she was molested at 13 and beheaded at 17...she was pursued and caught by four guys in four years?!?!?!??!? did she live the last four years of her life in these toxic “relationships “?!? [i put relationships in quotations because it is what they were, but not what i wish to call them. And i’m not shaming her or anything; i’m shaming the world and guys in general (no offense)]
I've never seen this version! It's really good. Her whole story is so tragic. She's been taken advantage of by the men in her life since she was 13. Also, something to bear in mind is that Catherine of Aragon, Henry's first wife, was married to Henry longer than Katherine was alive... :(
OMG! When she says she’s 13 you can just see the realization hit. And he just, stops. Also, I just love his reaction at the end. Like “No! No! No! Don’t kill her! I was just: I know, I know
tours of the palace still tell a legend that she lost her nerve that morning and broke away from the guards, screaming "Henry, it's me! Don't do this!" until she was dragged away again
Not so fun fact - Henry hired an untrained axe man to behead Katherine Howard and this untrained axe man got the axe lodged into Katherine's back twice before finally beheading her. While with Anne Boyeln (hope its spelled right) and her be head ment was with a trained swordsman from France who got the head off in a clean blow. Katherine and Anne are direct 1st cousins and they are both second cousins to Jane Seymour. Catherine of Aragon is Catherine parr's godmother and Catherine Parr married Thomas Seymour Jane's brother. actual fun fact Katherine Howard was the lady in waiting for Anna of Cleves and they got along pretty well. They went dancing together to a ball or something without Henry.
no one is so sure about it but this story comes from drawing of event and artists love to over do things He most likely didnt swipe a clean cut and it was painful to symbolize it artist drew axe on her back.
Some not so fun facts: •This one is wholesome! K Howard loved animals, especially dogs! • She actually had 2 music teachers but fortunately Mannox is the only one who groomed her not whoever the other one is. •She had fake friends who influenced her •Her mother died when she was 5 and her dad when she was 15. Her uncle, Duke of Norfolk was the one who allowed her to marry Henry VIII and got her the job at court, not her father. • She’s Anne Boleyn’s first cousin and Jane’s distant cousin (their grandmothers were sisters) • Elizabeth (Anne’s daughter) was super close to Katherine since they were second cousins • Thomas didn’t only rape her. He blackmailed her and Lady Rochford (Anne’s sister in law) arranged those meetings. • When she was sentenced to be beheaded she ran down the halls of the Hampton court palace and screamed her innocence, begging to be spared. It’s said that she still haunts those halls reliving that traumatic moment. •She was manhandled into the cart the took her to the Tower of London where she passed through traitor’s gate and saw the heads of Francis Dereham and Thomas Culpepper. Thomas was also beheaded and Francis was hanged, drawn and quartered (correct me if I’m wrong cause I forgot what the second word is). • She practiced all night laying her head on the chopping block that was brought to her at her request. She wanted to look perfect • She had to be held up because her legs kept giving away since she was so terrified that day and she had to basically be carried up the scaffolding. • Henry hired an amateur as her executioner to behead her, with an axe, which shows how little respect he had for her. Anne’s executioner was an experienced swordsman from France which showed Henry had at least some respect. • All of her family was arrested except her uncle, Duke of Norfolk.
she was pressured into writing 3 confessions on the implication that it might help her case, only for them to be used to prove her guilt and 500 years later we still do that

Not so fun fact: you see the last guy, Thomas? He's Thomas Culpeper, Kathrine's biologal uncle, brother of the her mum. It was a complicated family tree...
Wasn’t he the one who put both Kathrine Howard and Anne Boleyn in the kings court? Because I know Boleyn and Howard were cousins and I know they had an uncle who pulled Boleyn from France to be a Lady in Waiting to Cathrine of Aragon, and I know he found Howard at her Great-Aunt’s (who was her guardian as her family was rather poor) and decided to bump up his power by putting them both in the court But I forgot his name
To answer his confustion about them getting married, she still did not love him, but he is king so therefore, even if she does not love him back, she still has to marry him if he wants her too.
Six the musical is all about Henry VIII's six wives: -Divorced (Catherine of Aragon) -Beheaded (Anne Boleyn) -Died (Jane Seymour) -Divorced (Anne of Cleves) -Beheaded (Katherine Howard who is the one in this video) -Survived (Katherine Parr) If you are from America you probably don't know anything about Henry and all of his wives xD If you're interested, don't ask me cus I ain't google, ask google it self XD Loved your vid btw!
I thought they made you study this stuff everywhere? I live in Italy and I've heard about this, though only two of the wives were actuallu described and the focus was on the political state of the Kingdom at that time
His first marriage at 18 lasted 24yrs then in a space of just 10yrs he married 5 more times! I really don’t know how he managed to find the time to be King! Lol 😜
I just can’t get over how people think Francis Dereham never saw her again or interacted with her again. He came back to haunt her while she was with H*nry, and solidified her beheading. When they first got together, Dereham was the Dowager Duchess’ secretary, so when another worker caught wind of their affair, the DD shipped Dereham off to Ireland to silence him by giving him a good job there and katherine left. When katherine was queen, Dereham came back to court, demanding to be placed by the DD, so she did. He had an ok job, but he bragged to everyone and anyone of the illicit affair him and the queen had when they were younger. Word got to one of the men closest to the king, and that coupled with Thomas at the same time meant the only answer to H*nry was death. There’s also speculation that Mannox wrote Dereham a letter telling him that Katherine was queen before he came back from Ireland.
Yeah a lot of ppl don't realize that K. Howard was estimated to be around 20 when she was beheaded...so all of this happens to a child in a span of a decade give or take a couple years before she was tragically beheaded...
Ok, here we go for those who are new to the SIX fandom or are just here and think it’s a cool song. Henry Manox verse: So basically, ‘taught me all about dynamics’ is a term in music for basically, the force such as loud or quiet. Now the definition is “the branch of mechanics concerned with the motion of bodies under the action of forces” so this could either mean he was teaching her all about how to use the piano in terms of the fingers and how much pressure Howard was putting on them, or it could have been a more…sexual sort of approach. So ye, that’s that for dynamics 😀👍 Also, Manox wasnt 23, there was a 23 age gap in between them, making Howard 13 and him 36 :’D Now “strumming the lute” kinda makes sense, but in the general terms of the meanings behind the song, I’m guessing it’s something related to the meaning behind dynamics or such. But “striking the chords”, uh- let’s just say u make a sound when u enjoy something a lot.. and don’t forget, “blowing the flute”. That’s- I think u can work it out for yourself…. Oh and “Plucked my strings all the way to G, went from Major to Minor- C to D” so all the way to G, that’s a high note right? So high body parts? Idk this one very well actually but that’s what I’ve seen. However one theory is that from “Major to Minor” basically means Manox to Howard, as he was sort of a major and obviously Katherine was a minor. Now “C to D”. That’s ..ok so if means the female body part to the male body part, OR it could be Catherine (cause u can spell it Catherine or Katherine, but it is represented as ‘K’ in the show) to well- again, the male body part. K imma stop this verse here. Francis Dereham verse: So “Gets what he wants and he won’t take no” is in short, referring how to he wouldn’t take no as an answer even if Howard didn’t want to have…the sexuals we could say.. Now, “Passion in all that he touches” is basically her ‘private parts’ as we sometimes call them lol (I’m no saying it cause RUclips could ban me as their new policy is a bit stricter T-T) “Helped him in his office, had a duty to fulfil” Guess what? That’s sexual interaction too!! Yup. “He even let me use his favourite quill” that’s his Di- and that’s his ‘favourite thing’ basically. “Spilled ink all over the parchment” is saying that Dereham got a bit too excited…oh, and the ‘ink” would be white, not black 😀👏 “My wrist was so tired” that’s what happens when you help with his di-…anyways, that’s it for Dereham verse, but they actually had a cool relationship cause they really liked each other it’s shown in History, but Manox found out, told the ‘Dowager Duchess’ aka Katherine’s grandmother about what’s been happening, and got them sent away from each other. Tell me if I’ve missed anything! Henry VIII verse: Well, obviously Howard didn’t love him cause she was only 17-19 and he was like 46 (correct me If I’m wrong pls lol) so…yeah… also, we all know that Katherine wouldn’t be with an obese ‘monster’ as some people refer him to. And soon, she ‘met’ Thomas and he was actually her cousin! And then she got beheaded at 19 :’( Thomas Culpeper verse: So, this is really sad tbh. So as soon as Howard got married, she met a guy names Thomas (not Seymour’s brother tho) and she really liked him- AS A FRIEND. Or did she only like him as a friend? We don’t actually know, believe it or not! They could of had a sexual relationship, but it doesn’t seem like it. Anyway, she liked him. Now obviously, they probably did a sort of sexual interaction cause men didn’t go around saying “we have a connection” to random mistresses lol. I mean they could have, but it was unlikely. However, they probably did, which is sad cause 1: He’s her cousin. 2: Katherine only wanted a friend, not a lover, and 3: she was actually cousins to Anne Boleyn too! Runs in the family I guess ;-; But then she got found with Culpeper and she got reported for treason and ‘plotting or going against the king’ and then she got beheaded. As Katherine Howard was going down towards the block, she kept collapsing and fainting and to top it all of, the heads of Manox and Culpeper (or was it Dereham? I can’t remember lol) we’re on spikes to make herself even more scared than she already was. She actually had to have at least 2 people hold her up because she couldn’t walk. And the night and nights before, she would request a wooden block to practise. However, Henry hired an inexperienced Axeman, so he got the axe stuck in her back first, for an hour or so, then her head, so it was very messy. Katherine only ever wanted a friend, she loved dogs, reading, writing ext and music- which led her down the dark path but oh well u could say, we wouldn’t be here now if it wasn’t for her
(Not telling you that somethings wrong but:) Alot of pages on the internet sya that Thomas didnt do anything to her. He actually liked Kathryn, but Kathryn just had a horrifying experience with men. So yea.
Katherine Howard was the 5th wife of King Henry the 8th Her song most people say in the musical is the saddest song ever out of all the queens She died at a very young age (about 17-20)
Finally, someone actually reacting to the context of the song. Nothing against the musicians and vocal coaches, but they just seem more focused on those aspects of the songs and I want to see reactions to the lyrics/story. Thank you for this. 💕
One the MANY heartbreaking thingS was in reality, he had Anne boylen’s head taken with a sword (smoothly, no mistakes with a sword) with K Howard they used an axe (often times takes more than one swing more often than not and more swings means they are alive for most of it too so unimaginable pain) and she was so so young, and that she was punished for what happen before she met the king and after smh. One of the ppl who interrogated her had hated her up until he actually saw her and said no man would be unmoved by the state she was in during her “trial” she was a scared child with no way out of it
If you didn't know, Kathrine Howard was 13 with the first guy, he was actually 36 (23 years older) and the second guy, she was 13-14, and then Henry the 8th, the was 15(and he was 50), married him when she was 16, and got beheaded at 17 for not being a virgin before marrying him.
As you know, this is from Six the Musical. It is telling the stories of King Henry the Eighth's wives via song. Obviously some things are dramatized, but there is quite a bit of history behind it. This is Katherine Howard, his fifth wife. As you can figure out from the name of the musical, he had six wives in total.
This makes me tear up every time...I can BARELY relate to what Katherine Howard actually went through but, even though I was only pinned down and threatened...it's a HORRIBLE thing to go through...especially at such a young age...
the song was about Katherine Howard the 5th wife of Henry the 8th, she married him at 17 and was beheaded at 19... She didn't really have a good childhood and was sexualised throughout, that's why the song had some childish lyrics like "enoughsies" and " birds and the bees" because she was still a child but had to act like an adult and do all of these things. She never knew the feeling of someone loving her for her instead of her body. She was beheaded for supposedly cheating/sleeping around but in reality Henry was doing the same and she was unable to have a boy, Henry also had fallen for Catherine Parr his final wife before his death. P.s fun fact, not so fun fact the Thomas she mentions after Henry was her cousin/ relative
you should watch the live version of this song. really conveys the emotions of this better, also puts a bit more context (though not as much) between the verses
This song is catchy but it’s also about a 13 year old girl being ‘taken’ by a man before she is even suppose to know what being an adult means. England back in the early era was full of bad stuff.
I love their songs and everything made by them their lyrics are so catchy and pleasant to hear (my opinion) Even tho there singing about 6 girls/wives from the 15-16th century
And this is why I vote her to be the lead singer of the band. In my opinion at least, of all the girls she had the worst deal of them all. Sexually abused from a very young age, forced to marry the king and then beheaded for something she didn't even want to do. Anne may also have been beheaded...but in her case it was due to her own actions.
While I agree that K Howard had it the worst, the musical doesn't really portray Anne correctly (A fact they admitted to; If I'm not incorrect, they stated they regretted writing her the way they did) King Henry wanted to marry Jane, so he had to get rid of Anne. Supposedly he lied about her having an affair so as to have her beheaded. Obviously we don't know for sure the exacts of what happened, but it's heavily believed that this is what happened (People couldn't exactly question the king, and there was never any evidence that she actually did anything) So in actual history, it wasn't Anne's actions that got her beheaded, it was an evil man who would do anything to get his way. However, if you just meant in the musical itself, yeah no. You're right. Sorry for the long reply! I just recently researched all of the history behind this and wanted to clear that up.
I love how right when it says “Thirteen” he stopped bobbing his head
He was like "Oh hell no"
BIANA IS THAT YOU I LOVE KOTLC!
Also when she married king Henry she was 17 and Henry was 48
Yeh, is the best part like when she says "so we got married"
When I first heard that i was like "what did i click on?"
Everyone, "it's such a catchy song. I like it." Then you listen to the lyrics and realize that it's 100% about child molestation.

I recommend the one from the same channel that made this one!!!
@@Cally_bbykid yeah me too. I subscribed to her when she made her AYWD animatic and I do not regret it! She's so talented!
Six the musical is all about Henry VIII's six wives:
-Divorced (Catherine of Aragon)
-Beheaded (Anne Boleyn)
-Died (Jane Seymour)
-Divorced (Anne of Cleves)
-Beheaded (Katherine Howard who is the one in this video)
-Survived (Katherine Parr)
If you are from America you probably don't know anything about Henry and all of his wives xD If you're interested, don't ask me cus I ain't google, ask google it self XD Loved your vid btw!
@Sarah Garner there's a book series? what's it called i'm interested xD
I thought they made you study this stuff everywhere? I live in Italy and I've heard about this, though only two of the wives were actuallu described and the focus was on the political state of the Kingdom at that time
His first marriage at 18 lasted 24yrs then in a space of just 10yrs he married 5 more times! I really don’t know how he managed to find the time to be King! Lol 😜
The first thing i thought of was that horrible histories song, you know the one
I'm from south America and I know about this
You should see the Broadway performance. She really goes into the horror of it
I just can’t get over how people think Francis Dereham never saw her again or interacted with her again. He came back to haunt her while she was with H*nry, and solidified her beheading. When they first got together, Dereham was the Dowager Duchess’ secretary, so when another worker caught wind of their affair, the DD shipped Dereham off to Ireland to silence him by giving him a good job there and katherine left. When katherine was queen, Dereham came back to court, demanding to be placed by the DD, so she did. He had an ok job, but he bragged to everyone and anyone of the illicit affair him and the queen had when they were younger. Word got to one of the men closest to the king, and that coupled with Thomas at the same time meant the only answer to H*nry was death. There’s also speculation that Mannox wrote Dereham a letter telling him that Katherine was queen before he came back from Ireland.
Also! The 'he was 23 and I was 13 going on 30' line was, I assume, written that way for better flow, but Mannox was actually 32 or 33
When she says "playtime over" birds and the bees" and some other ones it shows how she was just a kid.
I really appreciate your reaction going in cold and not knowing anything in advance. Those honest reactions are great.
Yeah a lot of ppl don't realize that K. Howard was estimated to be around 20 when she was beheaded...so all of this happens to a child in a span of a decade give or take a couple years before she was tragically beheaded...
"That was so dirty"
the real dirty came: oh.
THE CHILLS AND YOUR REACTIONS 🥺😭 This was awesome
I think this is my favorite reaction to all you wanna do :')💕
3:58 I don’t know why but I love the way he said “how?!”
1:04 your face says "damn hell, I guess that's punishable" xD
Ok, here we go for those who are new to the SIX fandom or are just here and think it’s a cool song.
Henry Manox verse:
So basically, ‘taught me all about dynamics’ is a term in music for basically, the force such as loud or quiet. Now the definition is “the branch of mechanics concerned with the motion of bodies under the action of forces” so this could either mean he was teaching her all about how to use the piano in terms of the fingers and how much pressure Howard was putting on them, or it could have been a more…sexual sort of approach. So ye, that’s that for dynamics 😀👍 Also, Manox wasnt 23, there was a 23 age gap in between them, making Howard 13 and him 36 :’D Now “strumming the lute” kinda makes sense, but in the general terms of the meanings behind the song, I’m guessing it’s something related to the meaning behind dynamics or such. But “striking the chords”, uh- let’s just say u make a sound when u enjoy something a lot.. and don’t forget, “blowing the flute”. That’s- I think u can work it out for yourself…. Oh and “Plucked my strings all the way to G, went from Major to Minor- C to D” so all the way to G, that’s a high note right? So high body parts? Idk this one very well actually but that’s what I’ve seen. However one theory is that from “Major to Minor” basically means Manox to Howard, as he was sort of a major and obviously Katherine was a minor. Now “C to D”. That’s ..ok so if means the female body part to the male body part, OR it could be Catherine (cause u can spell it Catherine or Katherine, but it is represented as ‘K’ in the show) to well- again, the male body part. K imma stop this verse here.
Francis Dereham verse:
So “Gets what he wants and he won’t take no” is in short, referring how to he wouldn’t take no as an answer even if Howard didn’t want to have…the sexuals we could say.. Now, “Passion in all that he touches” is basically her ‘private parts’ as we sometimes call them lol (I’m no saying it cause RUclips could ban me as their new policy is a bit stricter T-T) “Helped him in his office, had a duty to fulfil” Guess what? That’s sexual interaction too!! Yup. “He even let me use his favourite quill” that’s his Di- and that’s his ‘favourite thing’ basically. “Spilled ink all over the parchment” is saying that Dereham got a bit too excited…oh, and the ‘ink” would be white, not black 😀👏 “My wrist was so tired” that’s what happens when you help with his di-…anyways, that’s it for Dereham verse, but they actually had a cool relationship cause they really liked each other it’s shown in History, but Manox found out, told the ‘Dowager Duchess’ aka Katherine’s grandmother about what’s been happening, and got them sent away from each other. Tell me if I’ve missed anything!
Henry VIII verse:
Well, obviously Howard didn’t love him cause she was only 17-19 and he was like 46 (correct me If I’m wrong pls lol) so…yeah… also, we all know that Katherine wouldn’t be with an obese ‘monster’ as some people refer him to. And soon, she ‘met’ Thomas and he was actually her cousin! And then she got beheaded at 19 :’(
Thomas Culpeper verse:
So, this is really sad tbh. So as soon as Howard got married, she met a guy names Thomas (not Seymour’s brother tho) and she really liked him- AS A FRIEND. Or did she only like him as a friend? We don’t actually know, believe it or not! They could of had a sexual relationship, but it doesn’t seem like it. Anyway, she liked him. Now obviously, they probably did a sort of sexual interaction cause men didn’t go around saying “we have a connection” to random mistresses lol. I mean they could have, but it was unlikely. However, they probably did, which is sad cause 1: He’s her cousin. 2: Katherine only wanted a friend, not a lover, and 3: she was actually cousins to Anne Boleyn too! Runs in the family I guess ;-; But then she got found with Culpeper and she got reported for treason and ‘plotting or going against the king’ and then she got beheaded.
As Katherine Howard was going down towards the block, she kept collapsing and fainting and to top it all of, the heads of Manox and Culpeper (or was it Dereham? I can’t remember lol) we’re on spikes to make herself even more scared than she already was. She actually had to have at least 2 people hold her up because she couldn’t walk. And the night and nights before, she would request a wooden block to practise. However, Henry hired an inexperienced Axeman, so he got the axe stuck in her back first, for an hour or so, then her head, so it was very messy. Katherine only ever wanted a friend, she loved dogs, reading, writing ext and music- which led her down the dark path but oh well u could say, we wouldn’t be here now if it wasn’t for her
(Not telling you that somethings wrong but:) Alot of pages on the internet sya that Thomas didnt do anything to her. He actually liked Kathryn, but Kathryn just had a horrifying experience with men. So yea.
@@junoshithead oh wow ty for telling me I had no idea! I completely forgot about this so sry I didn’t reply to u sooner lol
@@junoshithead btw Tysm for actually reading this cause I genuinely thought nobody would pay attention-
“I can relate to this person”
Literally everyone: “WHAT DID HE SAYYYY”
you are cute innocent bean, and never stop.
She died at 18...damn it, all of those things happened when she was a CHILD!!!
I am not fully sure, but I believe she died at 17 so if that’s true, she didn’t make it to be an adult which is very sad.
Katherine Howard was the 5th wife of King Henry the 8th
Her song most people say in the musical is the saddest song ever out of all the queens
She died at a very young age (about 17-20)
I LIKE HOW HE WAS ENJOYING IT AND ALL HAPPY HE STOPPED WHEN SHE SAID 13
Finally, someone actually reacting to the context of the song. Nothing against the musicians and vocal coaches, but they just seem more focused on those aspects of the songs and I want to see reactions to the lyrics/story. Thank you for this. 💕
How can a song about child abuse/manipulation be so catchy?
Song: And i was thirteen..
Him: Nope gonna stop jammin
This is the first time I've seen this dude but he has such good energy keep on vibing my dude
Please, react to "In the bedroom down the hall"'s animatic, it's so good!
One the MANY heartbreaking thingS was in reality, he had Anne boylen’s head taken with a sword (smoothly, no mistakes with a sword) with K Howard they used an axe (often times takes more than one swing more often than not and more swings means they are alive for most of it too so unimaginable pain) and she was so so young, and that she was punished for what happen before she met the king and after smh. One of the ppl who interrogated her had hated her up until he actually saw her and said no man would be unmoved by the state she was in during her “trial” she was a scared child with no way out of it
If you didn't know, Kathrine Howard was 13 with the first guy, he was actually 36 (23 years older) and the second guy, she was 13-14, and then Henry the 8th, the was 15(and he was 50), married him when she was 16, and got beheaded at 17 for not being a virgin before marrying him.
"He even let me use his favourite quill, spilled" I only realised what it meant, when she said "my wrist was so tired"
These emotions of reaction.. These emotions seem to be alive and you feel them live. 🥺❤️
Its the "omg" "What?" "WAIT WHAT?!" for me 🤌😫
"I'm sure this time is different"
"I hope it is too baby"
As you know, this is from Six the Musical. It is telling the stories of King Henry the Eighth's wives via song. Obviously some things are dramatized, but there is quite a bit of history behind it. This is Katherine Howard, his fifth wife. As you can figure out from the name of the musical, he had six wives in total.
Remember! She didnt friend-zone you, you girlfriend-zoned her first!
When he was like “It’s so dirty.” I was like “oh no, that’s not even the worst part of this song.”
This makes me tear up every time...I can BARELY relate to what Katherine Howard actually went through but, even though I was only pinned down and threatened...it's a HORRIBLE thing to go through...especially at such a young age...
the song was about Katherine Howard the 5th wife of Henry the 8th, she married him at 17 and was beheaded at 19... She didn't really have a good childhood and was sexualised throughout, that's why the song had some childish lyrics like "enoughsies" and " birds and the bees" because she was still a child but had to act like an adult and do all of these things. She never knew the feeling of someone loving her for her instead of her body. She was beheaded for supposedly cheating/sleeping around but in reality Henry was doing the same and she was unable to have a boy, Henry also had fallen for Catherine Parr his final wife before his death.
P.s fun fact, not so fun fact the Thomas she mentions after Henry was her cousin/ relative
Me, first listening to the song: bops along
Me realizing what it's about as I listen: cautiously and disgustedly bops because it's still a great song
you should watch the live version of this song. really conveys the emotions of this better, also puts a bit more context (though not as much) between the verses
Is it wrong to say he is adorable and I just wanna give him a huge hug?
Video: Please me, squeeze me-
Him: 😨⁉️
WAIT HES WATCHING THIS WITH NO CONTEXT OF THE MUSICAL OR THE HISTORY OH GOD
3:52 In that moment he was a part of the story XD
Oh, I really like your reactions
He's so lovely, cheery and. I love his voice ^^
That animation was amazing. That song hits hard though, and the live version is even more depressing.
The video: ‘And I was thirteen, going on thirty’
Him: * stops vibing at all cost *
That was a very unique animation! So glad you reacted.
Gigizette videos are awsome when you can react to get down by Gigizette.
YOUR FACE AT THE END OMG I AM CACKLING
WHY CANT I FIND THIS IN YT ANYMORE
Me neither 😭😭 I've been finding it for so longgg
The live-action video conveys the emotion even more.
I-
I USED TO HAVE THE SAME HEADPHONES AS YOU!!
Also im new sub! :D
That a animatic is so good!!
I love this animatic version so much but cant even find gigizettz channel, does anyone know what happened?
I can't find anything on it, I guess their channel got deleted. Real shame their such a good artist
That's it I'm watching this infront of my grandma.
Also when Henry married Katherine she was maybe 15-16, younger than his oldest daughter, Mary, and he was at least mid 40s. Grossed out yet?
The way his eyes faded….. lmao
I recently listened to the six soundtrack and as a history fan this made me fan so much
I recommend that you watch the live version! It shows more of Kathrine's emotions (Or at least I think so)
This song is catchy but it’s also about a 13 year old girl being ‘taken’ by a man before she is even suppose to know what being an adult means. England back in the early era was full of bad stuff.
I love their songs and everything made by them their lyrics are so catchy and pleasant to hear (my opinion)
Even tho there singing about 6 girls/wives from the 15-16th century
Not so fun fact: at the beginning the teacher isn’t actually 23. And that’s the age difference between these two.
I love when he bops his head and then his faces
*the shock at the first birds and the bees*
*2:19*
That was my reaction the first time.
*5:20*
He wanted to react for the music... we got his reaction for the story
Fun fact: Anne and Katherine are cousins, there both second cousins to Jane, parr married janes brother,and Catherine of Aragon was parr’s godmother
3:37
bruh when i first watched that animatic i didnt even understand that part and now i completely understand it-..
And this is why I vote her to be the lead singer of the band. In my opinion at least, of all the girls she had the worst deal of them all.
Sexually abused from a very young age, forced to marry the king and then beheaded for something she didn't even want to do.
Anne may also have been beheaded...but in her case it was due to her own actions.
While I agree that K Howard had it the worst, the musical doesn't really portray Anne correctly (A fact they admitted to; If I'm not incorrect, they stated they regretted writing her the way they did) King Henry wanted to marry Jane, so he had to get rid of Anne. Supposedly he lied about her having an affair so as to have her beheaded. Obviously we don't know for sure the exacts of what happened, but it's heavily believed that this is what happened (People couldn't exactly question the king, and there was never any evidence that she actually did anything)
So in actual history, it wasn't Anne's actions that got her beheaded, it was an evil man who would do anything to get his way. However, if you just meant in the musical itself, yeah no. You're right.
Sorry for the long reply! I just recently researched all of the history behind this and wanted to clear that up.
I love your voice it is calming
Question... have you ever seen Six before? This is where its from. It's about King Henry the 8th's 6 wives in case you didn't know.
Sorry no. Not before I made the videos.
I heard they get different ends to their stories in the musical, is that true?
I'm sorry but this guys reactions-
So I realise this may come across as rude, so I'm going to clarify this wasn't meant in a derogatory way
the second time i listened to this song was when i realized how messed up this is, Katherine Howard did not deserve what happened to her.
It just shows that women back then were treated more like objects than anything she was talented smart and people didn’t really notice that
Really wanna break your heart? She was only 19 when she was killed. She was a /child/ who had been groomed and abused her whole life.
The video: -hand grabs other hand-
Him: OH MAH GAWD-
'who???'
"henry the 8th"
....
'HOW!?'
