Henry VIII: England’s Larger Than Life Monarch  

I’m not trying to be rude but I have looked at reviews since Simon has stopped doing this channel and best since he’s been gone this channel has gotten half the amount of use at the very best even with some pretty famous people to do episodes about. Just saying maybe Simon could step in and do one from time to time especially someone as famous as Henry the eighth it kind of would’ve been nice to see Simon do this one.

I see you’re a man of culture!

@@makjusufbegovic8186 Oversimplified is the real man of culture. Me, I'm about as cultured as a petri dish.

Yeah, for sure.

Oh dear, what a dull delivery of a most interesting person...

Their shares would have gone way up, that's for sure.

@@Biographicsif he didn’t eat all of the inventory!

I have a theory Chris broad is his reincarnation

He'd rename it to The King's Fried Chicken, and it really would be all his.

American KFC or European/Asian KFC? Cuz American KFC is legit garbage. They focus the good food more in Europe and Asia.

Bring back simon

I can't get into his presentation style and diction. Even if the subject matter is super interesting, I can't bear listening to the guy for more than 5 minutes before I want to smash my phone.

Hell no get rid of this goober and put him back to writing scripts. He isn’t simon who I subbed for, this guy is as dry as his decorations.

@@tally1604his presentation style on fact fiend is really different it's weird seeing him speak like this Edit: I wrote this before I got to the sponsor bit, he's usually more like that over there

Look, I like the guy but he ain’t Simon

You're welcome!

@@Biographics thanks again

​​@@danielsantiagourtado3430Henry VIII broke with the Pope- it was a schizm.. He did not break with the Church like Luther did

Well he has been a writer for this show for years already. And has his own channel

Me too! Love Natalie Dormer as Anne❤

I do too! Any excuse to see Jonathan Rhys Meyers 🎉

Agreed, I watch it every few years also.

@@sendieloo Sam Neill stole the show in season 1 And I love how at no point in the series do they make you sympathetic to Henry...hes truly was a monster

@@joecool9739 yes, I love Sam Neill! I kind of did become partially sympathetic to Henry, albeit only slightly. His father, King Henry VII won the kingdom after a long war. If he wanted a successful hold onto the throne he needed an heir and probably a few spares. He wanted male heirs. Everything he did to manipulate the Catholic Church, eventually breaking with it and creating his own Church was to be able to leave Catherine, who he believed was not going to give him a son. Anne gave him a daughter and he was only getting older and more desperate. After his head injury I believe that changed his personality forever and made him become more and more paranoid. He eventually changed the law of succession allowing his daughters to reign after Edward. I don’t agree with his actions but I understand why it was so important to him.

Yep, it exploded as the attendants tried to force his body into the sarcophagus

A video for another day. :)

This better be a promise!@@Biographics

It also overlooks that his third wife did the exact same thing, and had more grounds to do it. But because Anne got executed for alleged adultery and Jane was the so-called “favorite” who died bearing the longed-for heir and ended up being the wife Henry chose to be buried with (not like he had that many attractive options at the time, given the only other wife he acknowledged outlived him), Jane got deified. I’d argue Jane was worse in a way, since she was actively coached to replace Anne by her ambitious brother, while in Anne’s early days, the precedent for a King setting aside his Queen was mostly unheard of, especially for some random courtier.

I think the "get laid" part was a bit of a joke.

No thank you.

He’s considered skinny by American standards

My son is named "John Henry"

Prince Harry enters the chat... his given name is Henry, "Harry" is a nickname 😂

Henry Stuart (brother of Bonnie Prince Charlie) was recognised as Henry IX, last of the Jacobite claimants to the throne.

Hope you like it!

@@Biographics i sure am! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Will definitely pass the praise along.

Simon's not coming back. Whether Karl stays is up to our audience and the algorithm. :) So, if you like him, share the video around, like the videos, all that algorithmic jazz. We're open to it and Karl is as well.

They’re busy taking a bath.

No he isn't as good as Simon. Bring back Simon!

Too bad he still skips haf the leeers of evy wod

@@darthnowlan you gotta move on, man

@@j.a.weishaupt1748 pardon?

@@jazzykrisis1783 Nope! Never!

Thank you! Cheers!

I mean...

😉

Who's that?

@@eadweard. it's realy sad That people don't remember him So he was singer He made alot of Popular songs such as careless whisper,last Christmas,wake me up before u go and etc unfortunately he did on Christmas day at the age of 53 in 2016

@@FrancoballProduction Oh yes I remember now. But do you think he was as significant as someone like Henry VIII?

@@eadweard. No not really

He will when we make an announcement. :P

Simon is gone

​@@jezalb2710 What do you mean gone?

Peter and Danny broke out of the basement and beat him to death with the remains of ETA. The Simon you see on the other channels is just an AI creation written by Karl and Daven

He left.

@@Biographicswhy?
