  • Throughout History, one of the most ruthless and brutal Kings to reign over England was Henry VIII, who during the Tudor period sentenced many people to death including two of his own wives. The King showed little mercy and he would also not take any nonsense from his subjects and he ordered everyone to follow his rules and orders. Henry VIII during his 4 decades on the throne of England sentenced between 50,000 to 70,000 people to death inside of his land, and this was roughly 3% of the population of the nation. But the King in his final days was a shadow of his former self, and he was someone who put on a huge amount of weight as he became very immobile due to an accident he had in the years before. But despite the chaos of the King’s reign and the blood shed all across England, Henry VIII’s death was one that did not mirror this. He died in peace and in a relative state of calm, but Henry did in his final moments acknowledge the sins that he had committed which included the execution of his wives Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard, and for this he thought that he would be destined for the flames of hell. But what did the most infamous King in History die from? Let’s look at the disturbing postmortem of Henry VIII.

    As a retired ICU /trauma RN, I am pretty sure ole fat Henry sustained an injury to the frontal lobe of his brain and this caused a change in his personality (as it usually does in people that suffer a closed head injury in that region). As far as his actual death, I lean toward hypertension, diabetes, and morbid obesity. I’m pretty sure he’s frying somewhere now. I’m not a MD and don’t deign to be one. This is my opinion, not a diagnosis.

      After doing 2 years as a general surgery residency with days and nights spent in the SICU with open heart patients, peripheral vascular patients and any others post-surgically, I recognized very early that those SICU nurses were an incredible asset. They could make you look good if you treated them with respect or they could leave you hanging out to dry. Your years of experience gives great credibility to your opinions. There are many former patients whose lives can likely be attributed to your outstanding care.

      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.

    What caused this…. My thoughts lean to the morbid obesity coupled with likely type 2 diabetes. Add a traumatic brain injury causing behavioral changes, and medical care based on voodoo and not science, you have a perfect recipe for death.
    Lastly, I have been seeing quite offensive comments lately on the channel’s videos. Please don’t be too discouraged by them. I really enjoy your videos. And to go after your voice, is honestly such trash bs and not worth your time thinking about. You’re doing great 👍🏼

      I've read two contradicting accounts one that his medical records show He received none of the treatments for syphilis known at the time. Another alleged that all his children suffered from hereditary syphilis which was why they had such trouble producing heirs.
      And yet again one of the allegations of Anne Boleyn was that she did give his majesty the king the French Pox which may well have been as false as the other allegations against her.

      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.

    • @auroraborealis6009
      @auroraborealis6009 Месяц назад +1

      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.
