Henry VIII | Broken Crown 

Too bad he became a gross blob.

Henry VIII WAS not good looking in my opinion from the portraits and pictures I've seen of him.

@@lindatimmons3675he was good looking he just got fat

If Ruairi O'Connor (Irish) was Henry at his 20s, Brendan Gleeson (Also Irish) can be the King at his 50s.

I know!!! He is my new obsession since this show come out lol. I can’t wait for part 2

I love redheads. He should let it grow!

Jean Bakula Irishman Ruairí O’Connor isn’t a natural redhead. His curls are dark Irish brown.

Ah redheads. The actor from Outlander is also very fetching :)

Cause you ain't see nothing yet.

So what, that didn't change the fact that it was extremely well done series loved by many.

They picked the actors not to look like the actual people. They picked them to potray the characters.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers did a great job portraying Henry on The Tudors tho 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@nezaeya I understand, but I still have Keith Michell in my mind. Saw “Six Wives” on PBS. Several times. I just don’t think that The Tudors was historically accurate.

@@sandranorman5469 this is even less so lol

Are we talking about the same person? Is this because he cried over his mom's deathbed because other than that he's a complete sociopath. A cute one yes, but kind and loving no. Jesus Christ lol.

Actually Henry as a young man and King was said to be kind and generous, he was still hot tempered, but he wasn’t truly a tyrant until his later years. He was a good and loving husband to Katherine and a good father to Mary pre Anne Boleyn. Also u have to remember I’m talking about good and loving for the time period. Not what we would consider good and loving by today’s standards

Guys, king henry is a complety different person than he was portray in the series. He beheaded two queens because he counld't have a son. He was such misogynistic that his daughter with Catherine never married, because she knew what man are capable to do in that time, since her mother was prisioner until her death. So he wasn't kind and loving. He was a king, who didn't love woman, just uses them, as we know he married six times. You have to separete real life and history from ficcional series. P.S: His daughter with Ana Bolena, Elizabeth, that was the last tudor and never got married. Thank you guys for the correction.

@@jessicaschmeling209 Yes, he beheaded Anna Boleyn, because he thought She was a witch(or wat) And he beheaded his 5th wife because she cheated him. (Sry for my english:/)

@@jessicaschmeling209 i think you meant Mary and Mary actually did get married. Elizabeth didn't get married.

Oh sure... for a few weeks. He started off with the affairs immediately, even caused a big to do by screwing a noblemans sister during Catherine's first pregnancy then had the gall to blame it on her for being in confinement, real charming!

Lizzy York That was the way of Monarchs back in the day! The French King was notoriously the worst!

Ah, you read The Constant Princess! She lived in England poor and lonely for years before Henry VII and Lady Grandmother died, leaving only Harry, or Henry VIII as an heir. I believe he did love her then. They were married for 24 yrs and she had 6 or 7 miscarriages. The other 5 wives never lasted more than a year or two, and he had two beheaded.

I'm so glad I can share my inspiration and this video encourages you to do something amazing. Thank you💕💕💕

All cool but you know he wanted her executed but couldn’t because she was a princes of Spain he made her life hell because she wouldn’t divorce him. Changed the religion of the land so he could get rid and re marry. And made stuff up about the others so he could have um beheaded. The last one probably only lasted because he dropped dead first. I’m English I love kings queen lords knights and all the other. I’m big fan of Henry 8th but let’s not pretend he wasn’t a cunt

Well, it is a TV show, so it's more about glitter than history. In the show, Catherine is no virgin either, so maybe they met their match in each other. I've read some history that suggests she was a virgin. She was noted for being generous to others, as she is to poor people and those around her who are upset.

The real King Henry VIII never slept with Katherine's sister and Katherine probably never consummated her marriage with his brother because he was probably too sick and weak to have sex. And why would Henry be upset? Katherine was married to Arthur and it was expected for them to sleep together.

Yeah their conversation at 1:40 proves it. He clearly knew. Then when their first son died, Catherine said if it's their punishment and basically told him just by giving him a look. Henry knew it but at that time was still in love and hopeful for an heir.

@juliaserento9928 I think the real CoA never consummated her marriage with Arthur since he was very sickly and probably not physically able to have sex.

But they were married for 24 yrs. The other 5 wives only lasted a year or 2 at most, though he courted Anne Boleyn for years. I think he loved Katherine. He was young and different then. They were all a nest of vipers, they had to lie to survive.

@@JeanBakula I think he admired and respected Catherine as older woman but his truly love was Anne Boleyn - he loved her 6 years. Without sex. He did everythink for Anne. And his fourth wife, Catherine Howard was very similar with Anne

@@ellemcdee7013 actually 7 years + marriage. Katherine Howard's fate was the same, but they were very far away with their characteristics.

@@ellemcdee7013 I thought that the one that he loved was Jane Seymour, they are even buried together

@@Mari-cm6ri he barely knew Jane. He loved that she had a boy

it's an ignorant like you which people should laugh at, and more idiots who liked your comment! Henry being not bad and a good husband and charming man in his youth, was something that was reality and everyone are praising what Henry was in his youth, not what he turned into! but I have already seen your ignorance before, you just proved it in here

Probably that dislike is Anne Boleyn.

@@ismael3259 possibly😂

Thank you🖤 I really appreciate it🙈

No problem! I’ll watch as many edits as u want to put out

@@bethanne1221ok🖤😄

Thank you ♡

He killed his two wife, he is awful man.

It's the Spanish Princess and you can watch it on STARZ or another TV shows website :)

YES

Thank youuu❤

Very likely: as all Royal Courts were international in makeup of the Court and had ambassadors from most nations.

Yes, there were, unfortunately, they just get washed out of history. You should check out John Blanke he worked for both Henry VII and Henry VIII and negotiated a high salary for himself

Well.. Catherine was from Spain, near the continent of Africa. It is a known fact that several royals had black servents or kinda " ladies in waiting "... So yes. Also, Marie Antoinette had piano forte teacher who was black from the Antilles.

Yes. At least two directly at his father's and his own court(early in his reign) and we have names. Sort of. John Blanke(the name could be derived from the word Black, they often had weird ways of spelling and nicknames), he was a troubadour and even made it upon Westminster Tournament scroll from 1511. Second Catalina of Motril-woman that was part of Catherine's household and worked in Catherine's bedchamber. But she was not a lady of bedchamber(that was honorary title just for people of higher status), nor was she noble. She was, in fact, a slave(later freed and returned to Spain, married there a crossbow-maker named Ovieto). She came from the town of Motril(near Granada) and was most likely captured during Reconquista, forced to convert to Christianity and given a Christian name, very likely chosen specifically to match her master(or mistress in this case)-Catalina(Catherine). It would, of course, be CoA's parents who would send her to England with slaves(there were at least two, but we don't know the name of the other one), and she may have not agreed with practice (but we don't know really). But it is a very different story than what Spanish Princess told. Real Catalina de Cardones(which was noble) wasn't mentioned by anybody to be black and had returned to Spain before Catherine became Queen, she didn't stay with her during her years of widowhood. Other women did-Maria Salinas, Inez Venegas, Blanche and Isabel Vargas(who stayed with Catherine until she died! those two never left her service).

He didn't grow one until many years later. He was tall like his grandfather Edward IV but lanky and clean shaven.

@@lizzyyork Although his personality is nothing like his grandfathers since Edward actually loved his wife until the end of days even though yes he cheated but they were only warm bodies. His grandfather cared about his people, his kingdom, fairness, believed in justice and didn’t randomly kill people just because they pissed him off. He respected his wife and actually let her make his partner in politics and be able to make decisions on how to rule their kingdom and etc. His grandfather was a peaceful ruler usually while Henry VIII was violent and unpredictable. She didn’t have boy for 6-7 years and never discarded her. He was only married to Anne Boleyn for three years and he executed her because she didn’t have a boy

The Spanish Princess

The spanish princess its on starz its a show

It's a tv show called Spanish Princes, however, it is only good when you seek entertainment, not accuracy. It's mostly fiction. And that is not for everybody.
