The five wives who came before her all met untimely ends...um Anne of Cleves (wife number 4) was not only alive during Henry's marriage to Catherine Parr, but also living her best life thanks to the large fortune she made Henry give her in exchange for agreeing to the annulment of their marriage. Anne had wealth, a fancy home, and a respected position within the royal family. She and Catherine both outlived Henry.
Thank you! Anne of Cleves got an annulment and because she was cooperative Henry gave her numerous estates and a pension and a place at court and she was to be considered below only his wife and daughters who adored her and invited her to their respective coronations since she remained close to all of Henry’s kids right up until her death as a sort of favorite aunt.
@@markblue777 True, but all they had to do was not include the word “all” from “all met untimely ends” Nd replaces it with “most” and there would be no complaints.
WOW! As soon as I've red the title I was trying to find who Jude Law's character was. I've only found it when the King Henry spoke. Unrecognisable! From the Pope series to the King! That's one of the best living actors. Period! 🤗😂👍
Refreshing to have Catherine Parr as the central focus. She’s the surviving wife of Henry VIII but most adaptations tend to focus more on the other wives and her part was treated more as an afterthought. Catherine may be the surviving wife but definitely didn’t have it easy so it’s about time to see that on the big screen.
The people who make silly hats would have loved this era. I guess the owners of those hats were more concerned with keeping the heads they sat on than how they would be viewed by the plebs hundreds of years later.
I can imagine that folks in 500 years time looking at our headwear choices will probably find them just as baffling. Baseball caps worn backwards in particular.
@arthurwatts1680 perhaps not hats per se. But remember these are rich toffs wearing their most expensive and outrageous goodies for purposes of being painted for posterity. Think Academy Awards meets Met Gala meets Paris Fashion Week.
@@lilymarinovic1644 I get that - the selfie was still several hundred years away and one's image was likely to adorn the walls of a castle for centuries.
Why filmmakers and writers are so obsessed with Henry VIII and his wives? There are much more dramatic and intriguing stuff in medieval history that never gets a screen adaptation, but instead we get to see the same tired story again and again. It seems that Henry VIII and Elizabeth I are the only two British monarchs that filmmakers are interested in. Also: “Based on TRUE EVENTS”, seriously? The person who made this trailer really believes that there are people who don’t know that Henry VIII is a real historical figure?
I was thinking exactly this. Tired of hearing about him and his wives. He was probably a revolting human being, a narcissist and a psychopath. So much more to British history than this period.
Outstanding news... Christ's blood, his death on the cross, releases us from the guilt of sin, accepting us as righteous in God's sight Colossians1:20 The cross shows the seriousness of our sin, it also shows God's immeasurable love. There's hope and salvation to all who put their trust in Jesus. Please think about it.
Today, such a household would have been raided by the Texas Rangers and US Marshals joint task force, the innocent women and children taken to hospitals for critical care and evaluation, and Henry facing capital charges that would have him sent to Texas DOC Huntsville as his final stop.
Right off the bat this trailer (and such a bad choice for the title) gave me the impression of an activist film with poor historical claims (e.g., not all his wives met untimely ends, just look at Anne). I usuallyenjoy historical films, but this one is a pass.
