This man changed SO much history all because of his desperation for a son and to demostrate that he would always had the last laugh

[stingrayreal]

Henry The Eight was a short man. His armour was displayed at the Hampton Court Palace. The TV series The Six Wives Of Henry VIII was filmed at the Hampton Court Palace.

Excellent documentary. I visited the Tower as a kid. It was horrifing, so cold, dark, dank and creepy. Henry sent alot of people to their deaths there. I know he did some good as a King but he put so much fear into people as well.

I wish The Tudors series had continued with Mary’s story. The strong young woman playing her was so perfect, it was heart-wrenching to watch what Henry did to her and no one could fault her for losing some of her humanity when she was trained to be a queen and then treated like dirt.

Henry VII: Oh, my alliance with Spain... My poor, poor alliance with Spain...

A preist- And your son, sire?

Henry VIII- Oh yes, of course, my son. But mostly, my alliance with Spain...

Henry VIII- Hey, pop.

Henry VII- Who the heck are yo- OOOOH YEAH!

The Tudors serie is so good. Sam Neil monologue at his end is so amazing, brings me to tears every time.

I used to live in Eltham for 35 years. As a boy I often used to sit in the grounds imagining a young Henry playing in the grounds and Henry the 7th coming to visit his son. Was a great place to visit and have picnics. Especially with the Tudor barn pub and restaurant. Which is the original hunters lodge

[LoneWulf]

I will never be tired of learning about these people. 😂

[Suprahampton]

No mention of Henry having relations with Anne Boleyns sister?
Also, paintings are 'hung', people are 'hanged'

[swiftsurerunner]

Sure seems like the Catholic Church could have saved itself from decades of grief if it had just given Henry the annulment he wanted instead of bending to the desires of Spain

[danielsantiagourtado]

Loved the first one! Thanks For this! Your hardwork is always appreciated ❤❤❤❤

[brendaowens]

He was a child of his upbringing. Spoiled and pampered, he grew up feeling that he was the supreme being. He could have whatever he wanted. If not he threw them away. In the modern era he wouldn’t have lasted very long. He would have been assassinated by a disgruntled parent.

[michaelsmyth]

Hit the jackpot with Elizabeth. The Tudor family, after having seized the throne, couldn't produce a male heir. The English people used as pawns by both Father and Son.

History is amazing but rarely in a good way.

[larryjones-emery]

Thank you for a wonderful documentary. I have been a student of Tudor history for about 50 years. This docu video is a high quality addition to the historical material. Do more .Thank you.

[moraesneto]

And with you ladies and gentlemen: the English Nero!

While Henry VIII is still famous, or infamous, I knew nothing of Charles V and was prompted to look him up when I saw that he became Holy Roman Emperor at age 19. He was far more than just HRE. He seems to have had much greater influence over a wider swath of the world than Henry ever had.
