Blah!
8
Sigmund, I don't have much longer.
9
Tell me, was I a good king?
10
Uh, you were okay.
11
Will I be remembered as the great warrior king who invaded France, revolutionized English healthcare, and developed great park lands?
12
Um, probably not.
13
Because of the wife killings?
14
Because of the wife killings.
15
Blah!
16
Blah!
17
Sigmund, how did I get here?
18
I still remember the good old days when I was a boy with a heart full of fire.
19
And mummy would teach me.
20
Okay, Henry.
21
This is a horse.
22
Can you say horse?
23
Ho.. ho.. divorce.
24
What?
25
No. Okay, let's try this one.
26
Can you say loaf of bread?
27
Loaf with her head.
28
No, Henry, that's wrong.
29
You know what?
30
Last one.
31
Okay.
32
Can you say soap?
33
Soap.
34
Yes, that's it.
35
I'm the supreme head of the church.
36
Screw the Pope.
37
You know what?
38
You're my son and I love you, but you're freaking weird, man.
39
The year is 1491.
40
England has just come out of three decades of civil war in which a bunch of Henry's, Edwards, and one Richard had a little ding -dong over which royal house should rule the realm.
41
Finally, a Henry I, Henry VII, and he had a son.
42
What should we name him?
43
My royal lineage is full of Henry's.
44
A fine name.
45
A vigorous name.
46
A tenacious name.
47
A muscular name.
48
How about Arthur?
49
And so Arthur, Prince of Wales and next in line to the throne, was born.
50
Five years later, Prince Henry was born, but nobody cares about him.
51
He's not the heir, just a spare.
52
The king wanted to make an alliance with Spain.
53
So one day, he said to his son Arthur, Hey, baby, you see that lady baby?
54
That's gonna be your wife.
55
But father, I'm not even three years old yet.
56
Listen, there's something you have to understand.
57
You're my son.
58
But more than that, you're a political bargaining tool.
59
But you love me, right?
60
I love you as a political bargaining tool.
61
Yay.
62
Hey, pop, who the heck are you?
63
I've written you a poem.
64
Listen here, tiny man.
65
Can't you see that I'm busy?
66
But I'm your son.
67
I have another son?
68
As Arthur was in another palace being prepped to become king Henry lived with his mother
69
and two sisters at Eltham where he was being trained for a church career
70
and not just that Henry learnt languages He played sports.
71
He learnt the recorder.
72
What a nerd.
73
Am I right?
74
Wrong.
75
Henry was the coolest kid around So I told my Latin teacher he could kissy us my buddy us Anyway,
76
here's Wonderwall Great scholars and theologians from across Europe came to meet and teach the young Prince Henry, who by all accounts was a very enlightened,
77
bright and charming young boy.
78
Everybody loved Henry, and out of everything Henry was taught, more than anything, he came to adore and respect theology and Catholicism.
79
One of Henry's tutors was English poet laureate John Skelton, who wrote a textbook for Henry that we still have today.
80
In it, he wrote a number of important lessons for the young prince, such as do not be mean, loathe gluttony, and do not violate widows.
81
Important lessons for any 9 year old boy.
82
Around this time Henry's older brother Arthur, now 15 years old, was married to Catherine of Aragon, sealing the union between England and Spain.
83
And then he died.
84
Oh my alliance with Spain, my poor, poor alliance with Spain.
85
And your son, sire?
86
Oh, yes of course, my son.
87
But mostly my alliance with Spain.
88
Hey, Pop, who the heck are you?
89
Oh, yeah!
90
And just like that, an unprepared Prince Henry was now the new heir to the throne.
91
And how about that alliance with Spain?
92
Well, the solution was simple.
93
Hey, boy, see that full -grown woman over there?
94
That's gonna be your wife.
95
What, my brother's widow?
96
Yes, you're a freaking weirdo, man.
97
Now, in the Bible, there's a verse that says marrying your brother's widow, that's a big no -no. So the king needed to convince the Pope and get his special permission.
98
Hey, can I please have my son marry his brother's widow?
99
Eh, sure, why not?
100
And so it was.
101
Henry's life was turned on its head as he was moved to the royal court next in line to the throne.
102
But tragedy struck when just a few months later, his mother, with whom he was very close, suddenly died in childbirth.
103
The loss of his mother almost certainly had a big effect on the young boy.
104
In his older years, King Henry VII went on a bit of a paranoid trip.
105
As was normal for a king at the time, Henry VII had had to quell a number of rebellions and as he aged, he became ever more suspicious of the nobility around him.
106
To keep them in check, he began levying huge, ruinous finds left, right, and center.
107
Dukes, bishops, barons, even his own mother.
108
No one was safe from his tyranny, and the nobility of England began to suffer.
109
So when Henry VII finally got sick and died just after Christmas 1508, there was a lot of celebration.
110
Not only because the tyrannical Henry VII was gone, but because his replacement was the ever popular, charming and handsome 18 -year -old King Henry VIII.
111
Henry married Catherine of Aragon in June 1509.
112
You may be wondering, if it's so weird to marry your brother's widow, and since he's now king, couldn't Henry just decide not to?
113
Well, yes, he could, but by now, Henry wanted to.
114
The thing about Henry that was unlike many kings of the time was he married for love, and he had grown quite fond of Catherine.
115
Very fond.
116
Historians say their marriage was unusually good, and so he was coronated king.
117
And what a king.
118
Compared to his tyrannical father, he was an absolute joy.
119
Having the blood of two royal houses, he was widely supported.
120
He was really, really ridiculously good -looking, and those famous calves could achieve world peace.
121
Hey Henry, now that you're king, you know what that means.
122
Costume party!
123
Henry pranced around the palace playing dress up with his friends.
124
He wrote plays, he sang songs, he danced.
125
A true renaissance man, very different from the gluttonous wife killer we think of today.
126
In his early reign, people from near and far would come to ask favors of the generous king.
127
Hey man, could I gain ownership of some land near Upton Snodsbury?
128
Sure thing, pal.
129
Hey, could I be an earl or a baron or a viscount or something?
130
Anything you want, man.
131
Could I get like just like a really cool pig
132
that It has like freaking metal wings and eight legs
133
and shoots flipping lasers and it can grow more pigs out of it for extra pigs.
134
Say no more.
135
Hey guys, I was just checking up on the financial report and what the hell?
136
We can't afford this.
137
Henry's council that he inherited from his father weren't happy with all the money he was just throwing around
138
and they worked hard to curb the king's spending.
139
Since they controlled the royal seals needed to get stuff done, at first they were largely able to control the young king.
140
And for Henry, the most infuriating things of all was they wouldn't let him joust with his friends
141
because it was too dangerous, nor would they let him do the thing he wanted most, to go on a great, glorious, and expensive conquest against England's historic enemy, France.
142
Please guys, I'll keep it cheap.
143
How?
144

163
Now, where were we?
164
Oh yeah, sexy calves, excessive spending, and war with France.
165
Henry wanted glory.
166
He wanted to go down in history.
167
If he didn't go to war in France, Was he even the King of England?
168
Man, I want to go to war so bad.
169
But the council won't let me.
170
Hey, maybe I can help with that.
171
Whoa, it's Cardinal Wolsey.
172
One of my best friends, despite being an old ass man, Cardinal Wolsey knew that if he helped King Henry, there'd likely be something in it for him.
173
So what was his great, intricate plan to curb the council's power?
174
You're the king, dum -dum.
175
You can do whatever you want.
176
What?
177
Wolsey began writing bills that simply didn't require the seals, and thus Henry was back on top.
178
For his efforts, Wolsey began to climb the ranks, and he became something of a yes -man for King Henry, encouraging Henry to frolic and play while Wolsey took care of business.
179
Hey, kid, you want to go on an adventure?
180
Do I ever!
181
The Pope was at war with France and he needed some help.
182
He offered the young, impressionable King Henry 100 Parmesan cheeses, some wine, and a golden rose if he came to the Pope's aid, and Henry was all in.
183
At this point in his life, he still respected the Church and and loved the Pope.
184
And here was the chance for war he had been waiting for.
185
He still didn't have an heir, a fairly big problem for a monarch at the time.
186
But right now, the only kind of smashing he was interested in was smashing French guys in the face.
187
And so off he went.
188
The English already held the French city of Calais.
189
From there, Henry made a glorious victory at the Battle of the Spurs.
190
He took the French cities of Terouin and Tournai.
191
Word of his victory spread.
192
This was it.
193
Here was the glory he had been waiting for.
194
Back home, his beautiful wife also led armies to victory in Scotland.
195
And better yet, she was pregnant.
196
Soon, Henry would have an heir.
197
All of Henry's wildest dreams were coming true.
198
Oh, he ran out of money.
199
As the French prepared to invade Italy, all Henry could do was go home.
200
Well, at least now I have an heir to cheer me up.
201
Bring me my son.
202
Henry, this is Mary.
203
Mary?
204
That's a funny name for a boy.
205
Henry.
206
It's a girl.
207
This was Katherine's fifth pregnancy that had not resulted in a male heir.
208
Happy Henry wasn't so happy anymore.
209
You still haven't given me a male heir.
210
Well, how do you know it's my problem?
211
Maybe it's your problem, Henry.
212
It couldn't be my problem because I've been boinking half your maid staff
213
and one of them gave me a boi - uh, I mean, sure.
214
Yeah, you know what?
215
Maybe it's my problem.
216
I'll look into that.
217
Cardinal Wolsey, now Henry's Lord Chancellor, knew his job depended on keeping Henry happy.
218
And so he said, well, if you can't be the great warrior, then how about the great peacemaker?
219
Not as cool, but okay.
220
And so the field of the cloth of gold, a glamorous peace summit between England and France, was held.
221
The King of France, Francis I, was essentially the French version of King Henry.
222
And the whole thing was basically one giant codpiece measuring contest.
223
The two sides did agree to a peace treaty.
224
However, it didn't last long.
225
You see, there was a third major player in European politics at the time.
226
An exquisite specimen of royal inbreeding, an heir to a huge inheritance and a chin that could hit a home run.
227
Holy Roman Emperor Charles V.
228
He was Henry's wife's nephew.
229
Henry had helped him out in the past to put down a Spanish rebellion, and now the two wanted to make an alliance, and so a marriage was arranged.
230
Mary, I'd like to introduce you to your 22 -year -old, fully grown adult cousin, and now your future husband.
231
Ew, he looks inbred.
232
Mary!
233
We're all inbred.
234
With their new alliance, Charles and Henry agreed to team up and relaunch a campaign against France.
235
In 1522, the English landed and stormed as far south as Agincourt, but Charles didn't commit significant forces.
236
Whoops, sorry man, not sure what happened.
237
I'll join in next year.
238
The next year, England swept northern France, almost taking Paris.
239
But once again, where was Charles?
240
Oh man, I'm so sorry.
241
I promise, next year, I'll be there.
242
The next year came, and a fed -up Henry decided he was gonna sit this one out, just as Charles ravaged the French at the Battle of Pavia and captured the French king.
243
Holy crap, dude.
244
Yeah, I totally kicked France's butt.
245
That's great.
246
So can I have the French throne like we agreed?
247
No. What?
248
And also, I don't want to marry your ugly daughter anymore.
249
Ugly?
250
Have you seen your chin?
251
Mummy says it's a strong chin for a strong boy.
252
As Henry's alliance with Charles fell apart, Henry knew his days as a warrior were over.
253
This was a problem for Henry, but it was a bigger problem for his wife.
254
Catherine of Aragon had two jobs.
255
The first was to give Henry a male heir but the second was to maintain an alliance with her relatives in Spain, including her nephew.
256
She had failed, and Henry's sexy eyes began to wander.
257
Home from all his wars, Henry ate up his daily 5 ,000 calories of meat as
258
an infatuation began to grow for one of his wife's ladies -in -waiting, Anne Boleyn.
259
Beautiful, intelligent, cultured, she was exactly Henry's type.
260
Now, Henry had had dozens of mistresses, including Anne's sister, but Anne didn't want to just be Henry's side chick, she wanted to be his queen.
261
Henry sent dozens of letters, thirsty love poems.
262
In one, he proclaimed that he would like to kiss her pretty duckies.
263
Henry's loins were on fire.
264
But Anne kept him at just the right distance to drive him crazy
265
and push him to find a way to get rid of his current wife.
266
Woolsey, I want a divorce.
267
And as the representative of the Pope here in England, I expect you to sort it out quickly and quietly.
268
I don't want this to turn into a Europe -wide scandal.
269
You got it, your majesty.
270
Hey, big papa!
271
My boy Henry says he wants to divorce his wife!
272
Any chance?
273
To Henry's shock and horror, Wolsey defared the case back to the Pope in Rome.
274
To make matters worse, after all the wars in Europe, the Pope was currently under the thumb of Charles V.
275
Now everybody knew what was going on, and Henry's divorce trial had become a pawn of greater European politics.
276
For Wolsey, the decision was a disaster.
277
His job was to keep Henry happy, and Henry was very, very unhappy.
278
Nevertheless, the divorce trial began.
279
Henry's case rested upon the Bible verse in Leviticus that claimed marrying your brother's widow would lead to childlessness, and Henry was certainly having a hard time getting a male heir.
280
He argued that the Pope had got it wrong when he allowed Henry to marry his brother's widow, and that now divorce was the only solution.
281
However, the Pope and Charles V acquired some interesting letters from an unknown source.
282
He wants to...
283
Kiss her pretty duckies?
284
Man, this guy's loins are on fire!
285
The Pope now knew the case for divorce may not actually be found in Henry's Bible, but in Henry's pants.
286
After escaping Charles V, the Pope did send out one Cardinal Compagio to oversee the trial.
287
Compagio was an old man wracked with gout.
288
It took him six painful months to travel from Rome to England, and when he finally got there, this kept happening.
289
Hey, I need you to take a look at this evidence.
290
I can't.
291
My gout is acting up.
292
Hey, are you ready to take my testimony?
293
I can't.
294
My gout is acting up.
295
Hey, can you please make a decision?
296
I can't.
297
Your gout is acting up.
298
My gout is acting up.
299
Anne Boleyn, with her Protestant views in support of the Reformation, suspected the Pope was just delaying.
300
For two whole years, the trial dragged on and on, and in the end, the Pope simply said, no, no divorce for you.
301
Henry, the king that had previously defended the Pope militarily from France and intellectually from the reformist ideas of Martin Luther, who had once respected the Pope above all,
302
now found the Pope standing between him and fourth base.
303
Your Majesty, what will you do?
304
I'm the King, dum -dum.
305
I can do whatever I want.
306
Whaaaaat?
307
For his failure, Henry removed Wolsey from the court, a decision that was likely influenced by Anne Boleyn, who disliked the Cardinal.
308
Having fallen from grace and with potential charges of treason over his head, Wolsey died of illness a year later.
309
Then, Henry set about removing England from the influence of the Pope.
310
Hey, if you do that, I'll excommunicate you.
311
Who cares, man?
312
Oh no, apathy, my weakness.
313
Henry gathered theologians and scholars together to help him make his case against the Pope.
314
Together, they argued to the people of England
315
that the Pope's rule over the church was basically a takeover of what had once been a self -governing national English church.
316
And if that sounds familiar, some historians do believe this moment may have laid the foundations for English Euroscepticism.
317
That's right, Brexit may have been influenced by Henry's explosive loins.
318
By and large, the people gave Henry their support, and those that didn't were going to be in for a rough time.
319
But for now, Henry assumed the role of Supreme Head of the English Church, and his next divorce trial was a foregone conclusion.
320
Catherine of Aragon was Aragon, and Anne Boleyn was in.
321
Alright, I've upended the entire country to be with you, So you'd better give me a son, okay?
322
Now, did you get my letter about the duckies?
323
Having finally married the girl of his dreams, it was party time for Henry.
324
And what a party!
325
Life in the Tudor court was non -stop.
326
Huge banquets, with each person eating on average 5 ,000 calories a day.
327
And no vegetables.
328
Those are for poor people.
329
Rich people ate meat.
330
And so you know what else is for rich people?
331
Constipation.
332
But don't let that stop the party.
333
The toilets are communal.
334
And Henry himself was the center of everything.
335
He ate the best food.
336
He had 1200 pairs of shoes.
337
He didn't even have to wipe his own bambam.
338
Life was great.
339
Everyone, I give you your majesty, King Henry VIII.
340
But how did they pay for it all?
341
Well, influenced by his fairly Protestant new wife, since Henry had overturned the organization of the church, this is how they paid for it.
342
Oh my goodness, how awful.
343
Selling fake fragments of the cross?
344
Vials of Jesus blood that you got from a duck?
345
Using religion in this way?
346
This is terrible!
347
I must confiscate all this money at once!
348
Yes!
349
How awful!
350
I must take all of this away immediately!
351
Monasteries across the nation were dissolved and their riches placed in the royal coffers.
352
Obviously many people weren't too happy about this, but Henry had a plan for that as well.
353
Henry's descent into tyranny had begun, as any who rejected his new claim as Supreme head of the English church, found their heads on the chopping block.
354
And so Henry partied.
355
He danced, he sang, he ate, he jousted.
356
In 1536 Henry fell from his horse in a jousting accident.
357
Not for the first time, but certainly the heaviest fall he had taken yet.
358
Some historians believe the brain damage caused by the incident may have violently accelerated Henry's descent into tyranny.
359
Executions in England ramped up.
360
During his reign, it's estimated 57 to 72 ,000 people were put to death.
361
Rich or poor, big or small, no one was safe.
362
And the most prominent victim of all was to be Henry's own wife.
363
It had been three years since their marriage and had been pregnant four times, yet she had only been able to produce one healthy child, a girl.
364
What's more, it's possible she had been going around insulting Henry's manhood.
365
Henry's eyes, once again, began to wander.
366
His new top man, Thomas Cromwell, didn't want to end up like Cardinal Wolsey, and so he came up with a plan.
367
There was a court musician who had been quite flirtatious in public with the Queen.
368
Well, Thomas Cromwell and his boys got a forced confession out of him, saying that it didn't stop at innocent flirtation, and the charges came rolling in.
369
Listen, Anne, we need to talk.
370
Oh no, you're gonna divorce me, aren't you?
371
Just like your last wife.
372
Oh, no, come here.
373
Shh, no, I'm not gonna divorce you.
374
It's much worse than that.
375
Anne was charged with adultery, perversion, even incest, and plotting to kill the king himself.
376
The jury found her guilty, including her own uncle and ex -fiancé, both fearing the wrath of the King.
377
And on May 19th, 1536, Anne Boleyn was Anne Boleyn.
378
Literally the next day, Henry married one of Anne's ladies -in -waiting, Jane Seymour, his third wife.
379
After Anne had smack -talked his manhood, and since he still had no male heir, Henry went on a campaign to ensure the public knew he was as virile as it gets.
380
He had this famous portrait painted of the manliest man I've ever seen, and later, he would even have his physician make a declaration about his health.
381
King Henry is a fine specimen of a man and...
382
Please don't make me say this.
383
Say it.
384
And every time I look at him, I wish I was a woman.
385
The truth is, after his jousting accident, the king had badly injured his leg and was no longer very active.
386
Yet he was still eating his daily 5 ,000 calories.
387
So by now, Henry was extremely unhealthy.
388
For the remainder of his life, he would incur a number of illnesses, and his injured leg ulcers would ooze stinking pus.
389
A fine specimen of a man indeed.
390
On the church front, Henry's new and now pregnant wife was a devout Catholic, and she pleaded with the king to reinstate the monasteries.
391
Henry was sick of wives meddling in his business, and he bluntly warned her to remember what happened to Anne Boleyn.
392
Since splitting with the Pope, Henry had been hard at work determining the theology of his new Church of England.
393
It kept many Catholic traditions, while on the other hand embracing some reformist ideas, such as requiring the use of a new Bible not in Latin, but in English.
394
The cover of Henry's new Bible depicted the people appearing to worship a giant King Henry.
395
And in the corner, there's some people being put to death, just for good measure.
396
For any who opposed Henry's ideas, whether Catholic or Protestant, for any who rebelled against him, it would be off with their heads.
397
In October 1537, Henry finally got what he had been waiting for.
398
His wife, Jane, gave birth to a healthy boy.
399
However, the triumph soon turned to tragedy as Jane Seymour died days later from complications during the birth.
400
Henry mourned Jane, the woman who had given him a son for two years.
401
Your Majesty, it's time to choose your next wife.
402
Thomas!
403
Not now!
404
Can't you see I'm in mourning? That one.
405
The woman Thomas Cromwell had lined up for Henry's next marriage was the sister of a powerful German duke.
406
But all Henry cared about was that she was pretty as pie, and Thomas Cromwell promised that indeed she was.
407
However, when she arrived in England, Henry was less than pleased.
408
Your Majesty, let me introduce you to your fourth wife, Anne of Cleves.
409
What's that smell?
410
I think it's your legs, sire.
411
No, it's Anne of Cleves.
412
She's ugly!
413
This is treason!
414
What?
415
Off with his head!
416
Henry found his new wife so repulsive that he never consummated the marriage, and divorced her just six months later.
417
And for bringing Henry an ugly, stinky woman, along with additional charges of plotting treason, Thomas Cromwell lost his head.
418
The very same day of Cromwell's execution, Henry married his fifth wife, the famed beauty, Catherine Howard.
419
She's believed to have only been 17 at the time.
420
Henry was 49.
421
And like Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard didn't last long.
422
You see, for some reason, she may not have been entirely satisfied with her 49 -year -old fine specimen of a man.
423
And it's possible she engaged in a number of extramarital affairs, including one with her cousin, Thomas Culpepper.
424
When Henry found out, he was devastated.
425
How could she do this to me?
426
But sire, don't you have hundreds of mistresses?
427
Shut up, Barry.
428
That's not the point.
429
Your Majesty, you're crying.
430
I'm not crying.
431
It's just that sometimes when I get sad, water comes out of my eyes.
432
For her treason, Catherine Howard met the same fate as Anne Boleyn in 1542.
433
So we've had divorced, beheaded, died.
434
Divorced, beheaded, look out.
435
Here comes survived.
436
Henry married the daughter of a royal official, Catherine Parr, in 1543.
437
And she appears to have been a good companion to Henry.
438
She cared for the aging king, who by now was so heavy it took several men to winch him onto his horse.
439
She acted as a mediator within the family and convinced the king to restore his two daughters to the line of succession.
440
Their marriage did have one hiccup, however, when Catherine dared disagree with the king over the subject of theology.
441
It's a miracle because when the priest says the words of institution, the bread turns into the body of Christ.
442
Well, if you put the bread in a box for three months, is it a miracle that it turns moldy?
443
Treason!
444
You can't just call everything treason, Henry.
445
The king called for her arrest as serious charges were placed over her head.
446
However, in the end, she told Henry that she had not been disagreeing with him, but simply learning from him.
447
And so when the guards came to arrest her, the king told them to make like an am and cleave.
448
Catherine Parr stayed with Henry right until the end.
449
As he aged into his later years, in increasing pain and ill health, he grew ever more suspicious and moody.
450
The once generous, promising young king was now feared by all around him.
451
Sigmund, I don't have much longer.
452
Hold me.
453
Of course, sire.
454
Do you have any final wishes?
455
How about...
456
How about one last conquest in France?
457
And so in 1544, Henry made for Calais.
458
The pesky French had been supporting the Scottish in their ongoing wars with England, and they also owed Henry some money.
459
So the extremely unhealthy king personally led a siege against the French city of Boulogne.
460
The English dug tunnels under the castle, and on the 13th of September, the French surrendered.
461
A glorious victory for Henry.
462
In actuality, the whole misadventure nearly bankrupt England, and they ended up giving Boulogne back to the French a few years later.
463
But shh, don't tell Henry.
464
He's having his moment.
465
Finally, in 1547, a 55 -year -old Henry, lapsing in and out of consciousness, passed away.
466
His son Edward succeeded him, but died just five years later.
467
His daughter Mary briefly took the reins and steered the country back towards the Pope, but then his second daughter embraced reformist ideas and gradually transformed England into a Protestant country.
468
Henry's desperation to marry Anne Boleyn
469
and his resulting feud with the Pope had changed the course of English history and religion forever.
470
Unfortunately, none of Henry's children had heirs, and when Elizabeth I died, Henry's lineage ended, with the House of Stuart replacing the House of Tudor.
471
So then you might think, all that effort, a life filled with so much frustration, yet he never conquered France, he barely had a male heir, and his lineage died out.
472
The egotistical man Henry grew sick and cruel, and then died.
473
So why are we all so fascinated with King Henry VIII?
474
Why not Henry II or IV?
475
Well, without mentioning the many important things his reign did achieve, one of his biggest goals was to go down in history.
476
And you can put a big green check beside that one.
477
Because everything he did, and how he asserted his control and authority over everyone around him, has come to be viewed as the epitome of the word King.
478
And also because of the wife killings?
479
Yeah, definitely the wife killings.
