Am I the only one who's comparing Henry ViIi with Vladimir Putin?
ОтветитьThat dude that gave Henry VIII credit for the US is just dumb. That was indeed a stretch. LMAO
ОтветитьHenry was and unstable, insecure, horrible man
ОтветитьAnne didn't pursue the king.
ОтветитьI love tudor history its truly fascinating
ОтветитьHenry needs cloning and replacing Charlie boy.
ОтветитьPoor Anne thought she had a handle on the king..until it came to her head on the chopping block. Seems to me she was an excellent manipulator in the beginning when she had the kings ear but when it came to lies against her, she could not manipulate any longer. Tho We do thank her for our dear Queen Elizabeth the 1st..what a historical and fascinating woman! I hope both Henry and Anne are very proud of their daughter 👏👏
ОтветитьGreat doc! Though history sometimes makes us mad, I wish Norfolk got his due 😅
ОтветитьKeith Richards playing Cromwell it's a good performance
ОтветитьCatherine of Aragon did actually conceive more than one son. One survived for 7 days and I think there were another two (?) that she miscarried or were stillborn.
ОтветитьBrilliant and compelling, thank you.
ОтветитьVery much like Domald Trump in personality
ОтветитьAnne's 'heading' to the scaffold....i see what you did there lol
ОтветитьHenry was not the king that insisted on being called 'your Majesty' that was Richard ll.1377- to 1399. Richard ll was vain to fault. His courtiers hated his arrogance. 'Your Majesty' is French derived. The nobles of England only spoke in French then and Saxon English was only used by the plebians but was making inroads to all levels of Société. All landed gentry only spoke French. French was falling from favour by the English by then. I watched this rubbish documentary and after about fifteen minutes in as the infantile rambling sent me to the wine cellar.
ОтветитьIt is almost like you are talking about Trump
Ответить"He was a man of an unbounded stomach".
Queen katherine
I can well understand the desire to want to better yourself but pretty much anyone close to the King risked death due to his capriciousness. I suppose the people you don't hear about are those that choose as much as they were able to steer themselves and their families clear of the same even if in his orbit.
ОтветитьOh dear, was expecting more, it’s yet another talking heads programme))
ОтветитьI am not a religious person but only limiting the Bible to Latin is a way for the church and the priests to maintain a monopoly. Translating the Bible into all languages makes sense. Other professions - religion is a profession, look at how rich and influential Iran's mullahs are - such as Lawyers and doctors use Latin as a way of trying to exclude people.
ОтветитьAs an historical graduate and student of Early Modern England, I would like to congratulate PDS on this episode. It includes testimony from respected historians and covers the entire reign of Henry 8 with very few contentious assertions. Well done.

“She wanted to be queen”. I believe this is a false accusation. I believe she truly loved her betrothed and wanted to marry him. She went into a fit when Henry forced them to split and I believe she wanted away from him in earnest when she fled his presence. Slowly but surely he made himself her only option and eventually she grasped the chance. That said, no, it wasn’t her initial intention, how could it be. In catholic Europe, divorce was unheard of. She would not have expected Henry to get him and she didn’t want to be a mistress. You can’t treat her intentions as if she knew marriage was a possibility, she had zero reason to believe it was even remotely possible. We know it - she didn’t.
ОтветитьThis is a breath of fresh air after the previous documentary i just watched on henry vii. Props to the cameramen, editors and many experts.
ОтветитьOh the likes are hidden so we can't see people's views
ОтветитьThink this documentary has its facts slightly confused - if i remember my history classes correctly, Richard II was actually the most tyrannical king England ever knew, and he was also the one that started the whole " your highness/majesty" crap too.... just saying...
ОтветитьWell at least Henry VIII held court indoors eh? I mean how else are some people since then who are tyrants outside too supposed to get away with what they do while blaming everybody else except Henry the VIII and themselves too while NOT taking proper responsibilty for their own choice of which set of hats to wear all at the same time too. For example a priest offering a re-baptism of the mother of his children n a very slippery river bank during a flood with 2 infants looking on at the time. Or how about a tyrannt who decides to become both a gender expression policeman and executioner both at the same time. Every woman during their lifetiime has a story about a male tyrant like that. A lot of men during their lifetime too has a story about a female tyrant like that who only once or who more than once always held court indoors only too instead. How does a personality best described as being tyrannical get planted and then formed? Could that have at least something to do with what is called human based only respector of persons? Respector of persons human nature which enables some of us to recognize our marriage partner for life. Turned into something else. Something else which fails to recognize how the word was made flesh in its fullest sense. A tyrant cheats himself or herself of being able to look into the heavens when outside resting without feeling bitter and resentful about anything written down about what he cannot see there yet too. Plato was like that. So was a lot of tyrants who insist they are the best interpreters of the bible around. As if they could be better at that than both Saint John the Baptist and god himself too..
ОтветитьVery good presentation TY to all who contributed to the production....
ОтветитьHenry the HATE had royal blood?? Based on his rule he had BAD BLOOD. Hope he is burning in hell for all eternity for the brutal crimes he inflicted on his people.
ОтветитьI have read works by T. Borman and R Hutchinson but of them all Professor MacCulloch's biography of Thomas Cromwell is masterful.
ОтветитьHenry VIII - a malignant narcissistic psychopath.
ОтветитьWhat goes around etc.
Ответитьthat was incredible! i was hooked from beginning to end. thank you
ОтветитьSounds like a complete narcissist
ОтветитьThe pain he would have been in would be beyond excruciating. Leg ulcers are more painful than kidney stones.
And nothing to even take the edge off of his pain and nothing to cure the infection.
What makes Catherine Howard "a silly, silly" girl, please? A statement like that discards the whole documentary. The statement is outrageously unprofessional for a historian.
ОтветитьBrilliantly made documentary.🙌
ОтветитьThis is possibly one of the most interesting programmes l have seen on Henry V111 ...having read much about him it was good to know that inadvertently he left important legacies..including historical fascination with his reign for ever ...
ОтветитьFun fact: all of Henry's wifes and himself were related, although you have to go back 200 years to find the common ancestor, Edward I.
ОтветитьThat background'music' is revolting
ОтветитьThis was a great watch, thanks for posting
ОтветитьThis narrator has a great voice for historical documentaries. It is clear, captivating, and commands one's attention.
Ответитьthat's a sh**hole country
ОтветитьThe actor playing Ann is a babe.
ОтветитьTHANK YOU...!!!
ОтветитьA Paranoid Ruthless Tyrant just like Joseph Stalin
