What a inspiration this man is. From humble working class piss poor background he showed the is greatness in all of us if we just want it bad enough and study hard. He is a national treasure.
@@Released_Sausage I know his mother had to take to cleaning to support David in his early years and his father was rarely in his life or seen at home apart from coming back from work to sleep & eat. His father never even visited him in hospital during the years David had Polio and the operations for his two club feet he was born with.
I believe this to be one of the great lectures of real historical value I have ever heard. Clear, erudite and forcefully delivered with informed narrative. Thank you.
Dr Starkey's oratory is so original in its delivery; it is breathless and builds apace to a spellbinding crescendo. I could listen to him all day. An encyclopedic memory and still formidable and sharp at his ripe age. Thank you Dr Starkey.
Thank you for this very interesting lecture. Dr. Starkey is so knowledgeable, it's always a pleasure to listen to him, no matter at what length, I'm always satisfied.
I have to say, I enjoyed Prof. Starkey's takedown of Suzannah Lipscomb's general theory about the etiological source of Henry VIII's tyranny. I have heard Lipscomb suggest that Henry was devastated to learn about Anne Boleyn's "adulteries," too. No he wasn't. Henry was devastated to learn about Anne's cousin, Catherine Howard's, adulteries. Whereas the intention to get rid of Anne was the reason that she was put in the dock for "adultery" in the first place. Henry was a tyrant because he liked to have his own way and he was imposing deep changes on the realm that a number of people disliked. Hence the resort to force and terror.
For those in the audience who have never visited the Huntington Library ( near Los Angeles) I gladly recommend it. Precious historical archives surrounded by classical19th Century English paintings, all in a park like setting with world class Zen, Chinese, desert and English gardens. I lived a mile away from it for several years.
I adore listening to Doctor Starkey..love his style & the way he blows apart Historical nonsense 😂..... Absolutely hooked on Tudor history since I learned about it in middle school. Obsessed!! Thank you, David X
That was so interesting and entertaining. I did not know about embalming at all. I learned something new today. Splendid jokes, too! The one about the twelve year old prince and modern Wales was excellent! "Henry meets a new woman.". What a change in the story!
When I was in school late fifties to mid 60s history lessons about Henry the eighth and about one subject his wives and the order that he married them in ,that was it when I was asked if there were any questions about Henry the eighth I put my hand up And asked what were the toilet facilities like in Henry the eighth time well the rest is history?
THE RECALL OF MPS ACT 2015 (RECALL PETITION) REGULATIONS 2015. This instrument sets out the detailed procedure to be followed when a recall petition is triggered under the Recall of MPs Act 2015 (“the Act”). The Act provides for a recall petition to be held in an MP’s constituency if that MP has been found to have committed serious wrongdoing by Parliament or the Courts, thereby starting the process by which that MP may be unseated and a by-election held. These regulations prescribe how the petition should be conducted, the arrangements for signing the petition, the mechanism for challenging the outcome of a petition and the creation of offences in relation to the petition. Without this instrument the Act cannot be commenced. Kier Starmer was elected with 11,572 votes out of 71,300 voters, and so, if 12,000 people of that constituency sign a petition needing only 10% of that constituency and delivered to the local party chair person. The local party chairperson then must organise a by election. Then that constituency can vote out Kier Starmer. Ergo- we are saved.
Forget about Henry's forebears+ how tall they were - henry was obese,a glutton,a wife beater (OK he may not have punched them - but he did organise the removal of their heads from their bodies), added to that list he was a scumbag. - David I'm sure you would have had a jolly old time in his court.
I have the strong impression that David Starky is emotionally very inexperienced if he really thinks Henry V111 was genuinly in love with Ann Boylin. Perhaps infatuated for a while after courting her sister (& apparently having sex with her - which is why, when Ann opened his letter in Heaver castle she exclaimed she would marry him or nothing!),but he'd already bankrupted the treasury & desperately needed the church's money to carry on with any war in France, or even continue running Englad.

Hope you are in good health, Dr Starkey. You had a curious colour about you in this video. Erudite as always. Thank you for sharing.
This man is a national treasure we are proud to have him, great story teller so engaging. ❤

I think his dad was a toolmaker.

Well clearly a better upbringing than the toolmakers son we presently have squatting in No 10 Downing Street!!
Never knew this. So much respect for Dr Starkey
Old time tanners would use urine in their occupation and ppl who sold their urine to the tanners were known as “piss poor”.
We are lucky to have this great scholar and great popular communicator in these difficult times.
I could listen to Dr Starkey all day!
I believe this to be one of the great lectures of real historical value I have ever heard. Clear, erudite and forcefully delivered with informed narrative. Thank you.
I enjoy listening to Dr. David Starkey. Keep being you good sir!
I truly wish the powers that be will give Dr David Starky a position in the new government when we evict the squatter from No 10!!
Yes please. Love this man ❤

Yeh, not only a renowned historian but speaks pure logic and common sense politically 👏👏
I do enjoy listening to Dr Starkey. What a treat.
Thank you Dr Starkey for this and all your broadcasts.

Thank you Dr Starkey.
Brilliantly illuminating, thank you, David Starkey. 💯📚👑🔍
Thank you for this brief history of Henry VIII
Great episode. Thank you again.
Thank you for this. We are so lucky to have access Dr Starkey’s wealth of knowledge through his wonderful broadcasts.❤️
Wow! What a gift!
Always a joy to listen to Dr Starkey!
Thank you for this very interesting lecture. Dr. Starkey is so knowledgeable, it's always a pleasure to listen to him, no matter at what length, I'm always satisfied.
Please keep posting! ❤
Wonderful lecture, Dr. Starkey. Thank you.
Amazing ,informative and entertaining ,but always with serious intent of great depth.
Wonderful precise, incisive and entertaining work!! Whoever banishes all ignorance has a most certain way to heaven.
Many thanks Dr Starkey for this tremendous lecture.

I'd love to hear Dr. Starkey's opinion on series two of Wolf Hall...full of unrealistic diverse casting

The Blue Boy is there. Quite a place!
Waiting for the next installment in suspense!
Brilliant, Dr. Starkey. Thank you once again.
Henry was striving, brutally of course to have a son. Of course there’s more to the story.
Fascinating stuff 👌 👍 👏
Anyone watching the new series of Wolf Hall on tv?
It's so good...one of the best ever watched...to see Cromwell in a different light thanks to Hilary Mantel's wonderful writing. The cast are amazing
🙋♀️
no, I refuse to watch historical dramas with racially inaccurate casting.
@@countdowntorevolution9986ur missing out. I also can’t recall any cringeworthy anachronistic casting in WH.. (in S1 atleast)
Eta: I see someone else mentioned the S2 casting…
Thank You for Your Lecture and Leadership.

"Henry meets a new woman.". What a change in the story!
Currently researching King Stephen English Monarch from 1135 - 1154. I am finding his turbulent reign very interesting.
"Interesting"? I think perhaps Matilda would have described it differently!
This is very well done. I did not know Thomas Moore was beheaded 6 months before King Henry VIII had his jousting accident.
Well done.
"Jeeeekyll and hyde" lol
Super interesting it’s a delight to listen Thankyou. 🙏💐
Invent cures for things that weren't diseases

I am astonished

David Starkey is the thinking woman’s sex symbol.
I have really enjoyed this
You are AMAZING! Luv ❤️
henry is almost as unpopular as Starmer but will be remembered for far longer.
Is he sipping red wine?..
Henry is a spoiled mama’s boy, is that it?
And a Cancer male… 😉
He was probably better , than the limp lefty lettuce we have now .
Good evening 😊

Shots fired against Lipscumb ? Interesting !
"Henry was the first monarch educated in the new way." And he was the worst. They should have gone back
Some very interesting ideas in this lecture, but far too many asides make it incoherent at times.
Greek… Indo-European Numbers in Classical Civilizations.
So twice a day I have full teaspoons of both carnitine and glycine, for fun I am not medically qualified, as you were!
Ruined by far too many intrusive adverts, David. Otherwise superbly informative.
Forget about Henry's forebears+ how tall they were - henry was obese,a glutton,a wife beater (OK he may not have punched them - but he did organise the removal of their heads from their bodies), added to that list he was a scumbag. - David I'm sure you would have had a jolly old time in his court.

Mr.Starkey why Britain is a United Kingdom, who did unite Her?
Henry VIII with CTE. That explains a lot about his behavior.
