      Henry fell off his horse while jousting with Sir Henry Norris, his good friend, at Greenwich Palace.
      The horse fell ON Henry VIII, causing what's considered, _through historical accounts,_ a traumatic brain injury.
      He was unconscious for two hours, and the thought was he as going to die. Historic record, again.
      He suffered another head injury, losing consciousness for a brief time a year later, while pole-vaulting.
      Frontal lobe injuries can cause noticeable personality changes. Up to that point, Henry was good-natured and well-liked.
      This doesn't excuse his abuse of power. But it does explain why he really went off the rails.

      I was thinking about him while I was vacuuming today. I was thinking about how unfair it is that he blamed his wives for birthing girls, or stillborn children, or miscarrying boys. I’d really like the opportunity to tell him that it’s the father’s genetics that determine gender and it was never the fault of his wives for having miscarriages or still births. What a jerk he was.

If you love a man, bear a man a child and absolutely did NOT betray anyone--proven over and over again to be an excuse he conjured up to get rid of her--being beheaded is a pretty darn ultimate betrayal. Did Thomas More sleep with him, and bear him a child who indeed WAS the heir? You are valuing the man, and a male perspective over reason.

    There was no postmortem of Henry VIII. The title of this video is misleading. There are multiple things which probably contributed to his death. He weighed over 300 pounds. He had chronic skin infections, including a large festering ulcer on one of his legs, which could have eventually caused a generalized sepsis. He most likely had diabetes, which would have accelerated his heart disease, vascular disease, high blood pressure, and propensity for infections. His personal hygiene was probably abysmal, as was the case for most people at that time, but made worse for him because of his huge bulk.

      Henry executed Anne Boleyn because he believed Anne was unable to bear him a son. Historian Retha Warnecke thinks Henry believed Anne was a was a “witch” because she miscarried a malformed male fetus. Warnecke thinks Henry would have viewed Anne’s miscarriage as a sign he would ever have a son with her. One historian believes it’s possible Anne may have had an Rh antigen that would have prevented her from bearing more children. He executed Katherine Howard, a cousin of Anne’s, because of her sexual escapades before her marriage, and her affair with a younger man during her marriage with Henry. He also treated Catherine of Aragon abominably and she died of a rare cardiac tumor.

      He wanted a son and heir. At the time people didn’t know that the child’s sex is determined by the father’s contribution of an X or Y chromosome. Many people STILL don’t understand that and blame the wife for not producing sons.
      So many people were illiterate and never ventured more than a mile or two from their villages and never developed critical thinking skills. Their lives revolved around staying alive. At the time, that was a difficult task.
      If people have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever it’s not hard to come up with what we see as nonsensical explanations for things.
      Since he was the king with absolute power, his “advisors “ had a vested interest in telling him what he wanted to hear because they wanted to stay alive. Since they couldn’t say that maybe it was HIS fault that he couldn’t produce a healthy heir, it was more expedient to blame it on all of the women he slept with.

    Sadly, I see some of symptoms working as a nurse currently. My patients are getting bigger and bigger. Lots of diabetes and non healing wounds. Lots of people get cellulitis (a skin infection)on their legs because now they are bacteria farm with all the blood sugar. It starts to ulcer. It takes getting someone’s sugar controlled just to properly treat it. The poor immune system, etc. High blood pressure, coupled with just high blood pressure makes you medically vulnerable. Untreated, it’s a stroke waiting to happen.

    Even the images of him are pretty gross, but imagine what he really looked liked! Hans Holbein who painted the most famous images we see today would have been all too careful to flatter Henry as much as possible in order to preserve his career and quite possibly his life!
    As to what he died of, well you can easily say a mix of absolute gluttony in everything from booze, food and sex and the whole host of complications and diseases associated with that, which given the time with no medical treatments to speak of, then he was lucky to have lasted as long as he did!
