Boy she played a very dangerous game at that time.. knowing full well that her family was the opposing family for the power of the thrown and in the end her own Brother pushed too hard and one can see what happened to him.. She is very fortunate she just ended up in a nunery for a bit..
Anne Stafford was definitely playing with fire. Being involved with Henry VIII while her family was already politically charged was a dangerous move. Her brother’s fate showed just how high the stakes were, and she was indeed fortunate to only spend time in a nunnery rather than facing harsher consequences.
Phimosis, if left untreated, could indeed have made it difficult for Prince Arthur to have a successful sexual relationship with Catherine. It’s certainly something historians have considered when speculating about whether their marriage was consummated.
Neuroppsychologist @professorgraemeyorston suggests in his video on Emily Brontë that she was probably autistic. Being autistic myself I found this absolutely convincing. At university I studied the works & biography of EB & was puzzled that she was described as mysterious & even alien - to me her actions & writings seemed absolutely logical and far from strange.
The fact that her execution was NOT justified was in itself horrible, but the way her execution was carried out by Guillotine and witnessed by hostile spectators is horrifying. Human logic and judgment less than 300 years ago was scary.
Hi Jon and Caire! It's been over 40 years since I've read anything from the Bronte sisters. I guess I'm going to have to get the plastic out and start buying! 🎉❤ Great video!
