Perhaps the most incisive British historian alive. Controversy be damned. Talented people attract controversy. He is a treasure, and his intellect and work is above such bileful machinations.
Cambridge's King's Men followed the money. As to be expected. Oxford is set to rename one of their colleges in honour of a Vietnamese bikini manufacturer at present. Dr. Starkey has spoken about it.
I think Starkey, though I love him, does tend to underplay the religious motivations of Henry's break wirth Rome. He's right that it is most fundamentally, for Henry, a jurisdictional dispute. But I think that, in the psot enlightenment world where we instinctively see the spheres of religion and the state as seperate, we miss just how theologically important jurisdiction is in Christianity, particularly in this period. Western Christianity dealt with the fal of Rome by retaining the Pope, and distributing the powers of the Emperor to the European Princes. The middle Ages then commences with a quiet battle between Princely and Papal power over Christendom, and this comes to a head in the early modern period with the rise of powerful states coinciding with the creeping addition of papal power. The old battle comes to a cresendo: the earthly Princes often want themselves to be what the Emperorswere to the Roman Empire within their God given provinces. This was a theological power; they selected Bishops, they resolved theological disputes, they called councils. God put them on earth to do their part in managing a Chrisendom that had no hard borders between secular and religious spheres. By the late Medieval Period, the papacy ahd all but swallowed up this role. This, for those at the time, is theological; the English Church's proclaimation that "The Bishop of Rome hath no jurisdiction of this Realm of England" is theological.
Rome just wanted to dominate Europe under one Pope and this could not be tolerated since it was Rome who crucified the Lord.Rome is evil.The greatest thing the English did was break from Rome.
I could listen to Dr. Starkey's speaking about a lunch he had in 1973 and enjoy it. This man is a gifted story-teller.

Thank you so much for uploading, next time please record it better.
Thanks for Uploading.
You'd think a university would have the facilities to record sound. Place can't be up to much

Excellent.
Dear All
Please let's have this talk/lecture (undoubtedly good) with decent sound - so we can enjoy it!

Sad that the sound was so bad. Couldn't watch what was a subject I really wanted to hear.
The acoustics/sound system in this room are terrible.
A perfect match to the appalling camera angle. An all round wrecking of an otherwise excellent delivery.
It’s ok, and audible. Don’t be so fussy!
The sound quality is excruciating I can barely make out what he's saying.
Terrible sound. Had to stop the video!
Agreed; appalling.sound - and a.terrible.camera.angle!.Had to stop the video.
Starkey, a seemingly rebellious conformist to the western criminal hegemony...
