How Every Tudor Died (HISTORY DOCUMENTARY) 

I think Mary 1 was the saddest. She was desperate to have a child, and died of a disease that mimicked pregnancy.

Henry VII: Although Elizabeth and I lost many children; I loved her deeply and we were able to work through our losses and our problems as all husbands and wives should. Henry VIII: Hehe axe go choppy-choppy

Thank you so much. I thought I knew a few of these but the whole list was fascinating. I think the saddest death was the execution of Lady Jane Grey as, from birth, she was nothing but a pawn in her father's and then father-in-laws machination's. She was ALWAYS powerless and therefore executing her at 17 years of age was abominable.

If you are bothered by anything David Starkey said about Catherine Howard, you might be interested in his latest lecture about her. I found it respectful towards her and he explains how the adults in Catherines life were eventually responsible for her behaviour and fate.

The Tudor dynasty would have lasted longer if any of Henry's legitimate children had heirs, but none of them did. Edward VI died before he got the chance, Mary was too old and sick for children by the time marriage came, and the chance never came for Elizabeth for one reason or other. And if Henry VII had remarried, he might have produced some sons who could have carried on the line. And of course, if Henry's son Henry Jnr by Catherine of Aragon had survived, history would have been totally different.

Thanks for uploading this video! Some of the saddest deaths include Mary I, who wanted a child so badly, but actually had ovarian cancer, which mimicked pregnancy. Elizabeth of York as well, as she understood that she and Henry VII needed sons. After her death, Henry VII was so devastated that he didn’t want to remarry. As for Edward VI, I feel that he now rests in peace knowing Protestantism is now a thing, mostly because of his half-sister Elizabeth I. If anything, I’m sure Edward VI wanted to only exclude Mary, but couldn’t do so without excluding Elizabeth as well.

I am a descendant of Aurthur Plantagenet who was Elizabeth of York's half brother, and also one of her other half brothers, Thomas?? Grey. I don't have any proven Tudor blood, but am a descendant of Mary Boleyn thru her son Henry Carey. I also have an unproven descent thru a daughter of Maurice the brother of Prince Rupert, who was one of the Pirate Princes of the Caribbean who went down with his ship in a hurricane. His mother was King James daughter Ann. This shows on my family tree, but where is the proof. These tudor stories are very interesting, and I see a lot of the Tudor Court people as ancestors, and a lot of them were executed by my dear cousin Henry VIII many times removed.

Great vid eventho she's not technically a Tudor I will always love Anne Boleyn best, there is just something about her whole sad story that has always struck a chord with me. I remember hearing about her ghost is a little girl and then I just kept looking into her story for the majority of my life. She has always fascinated me. One day I will make it to Hever Castle! 🥰

I have an obsession with Swedish royal history. Would be fun with a video about some of them

I couldn't learn about history without you. Thanks for your videos.

Lady Jane Grey makes me feel so much sadness, being so cruelly used as a political pawn then executed as a teenager, she's actually my ancestor

Much love! Your videos are amazing and entertaining ❤❤

Amazing video! Loved it so much. You have been improving alot since last time! Keep on the good work ❤❤ ((Also the sentence, *”army of children”* made me laugh so hard))

Brilliant video. I’m surprised as much information survived to this point in time as it has.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but was Edward sickly when he came to the throne? I think I read somewhere that was somewhat of a myth. He was young and went through bouts of sickness (not surprising for the time period) but I thought Edward was described as a healthy kid during his father's reign.

Thank you for posting this. It is interesting. 😊

Thanks for saying that about Katherine Howard, I had the very same thoughts as well!

Love your videos love Tudor history

Fascinating, and a nice presentation too. How about the Beauforts? John of Gaunt and Katherine Swynford produced several monarchs, but they are mostly overlooked by historical channels. Thanks for your videos!

I enjoyed your video. I'm curious about your criteria that one doesn't count as a Tudor due to their last name (Henry Fitzroy and Jane Grey), yet they have Tudor blood (and DNA). They are actual descendants of Henry Tudor, as opposed to someone who just married into the family.

6:05 Correct. Henry VIII’s first ever child was an unnamed stillborn daughter.

Love you video Henry the eighth exploded in the coffin because I don’t know how to explain it in text but his body was making gases

That was very interesting Thank you

I’m OBSESSED. This is a bit of me ✨🤩

good job

Great video I enjoyed it can't wait to see more soon. Greetings from Canada 😀

Whats the song playing in the background? Great video by the way.

Imagine how angry Henry VII would be if he found out that Anne Boleyn's descendants are currently sitting on the throne of England. Henry VIII: Finally, that pesky ex-wife of mine is out of the way. Anne: You'll never get rid of me! Henry VIII: But I beheaded you! Anne: You forgot about my sister -_-. Thank you for not executing my sister because my own descendants are now sitting on the throne of England! >:)

I love anything and everything Tudor and this video was spectacular! It was very interesting to hear about Tudors other than Henry VIII and I very much enjoyed it. ❤

I love this video 👏👏😊 could you make one about the Danish King Christian 9. he was knows as the father-inlaw of Europe.

Good video

great video! one correction: Catherine of Aragon didn't starve herself, she was a very devoted Catholic and she fasted regularly, so some historians believe that that's why she lost so many children. Keep up the good work!

I just love all these history

10:44 I was actually IRL mid-chugging a glass of water when you happened to say that lol

Anne of Cleves is indeed badass for outliving Henry and the other wives🤟

I enjoyed watching this. I'd like to hear about the Plantagenets.

6:41 Incorrect. This son was also named Henry and was premature, but only lived a few hours

Hello Shy Historian! Can you talk about the Habsburgs as a whole please?

I personally think that James V, Mary Queen of Scots, and James VI and I, and all the Stuart kings and Queens after should have been in the video as they were Henry's niece and nephew by his older sister's line.

I need to know what the background music is because it sounds so peaceful, and I want to listen to it in my free time.

Well this was interesting….thank you

You are so right I knew what the Tudors died but I never realized how many children died of theirs. You have to wonder since many of their ladies and waiting and other help were Plantagenate descendants If this was helped along.

I absolutely love this channel; it very well might be my historical favorite on RU-vid. Give this a thumbs up, binge all that's been posted and subscribe! Note: No; I'm in no way affiliated with this channel, nor compensated in any way for my above comments. I'm simply some American who likes exploring the topics on this channel. The incest ones are a particular delight!

Yes, another video! Could you do a video on those who ruled the Roman EMPIRE, not including the East or West, just those who reigned it in it's entirety.

Just curious where did the screaming lady on the thumbnail come from?

Not true Mary queen of Scot’s was Henry the 8 sisters granddaughter so the Tudor bloodline didn’t end the royal family are all descendants Of house of Tudor

Jane Grey was 16 when she died although in her 17th year. She was born in 1537, the same year as her cousin,,Edward VI

Did Princess Mary or Margaret (sisters of Henry VIII) have any descendants that are living today? I could follow down to the Douglas's and then I got lost with no records.

I made a few mistakes on the last request. Here is it, accurate: Please do Roman Emperors. I know it is a lot but here are the basics: Augustus- Peaceful Natural Tiberius- Peaceful Natural Caligula- Violent Unnatural Claudius- Peaceful Unnatural Nero- Violent Unnatural Galba- Violent Unnatural Otho- Violent Unnatural Vitellius- Violent Unnatural Vespasian- Violent Natural Titus- Peaceful Natural Domitian- Violent Unnatural Nerva- Peaceful Natural Trajan- Violent Natural Hadrian- Peaceful Natural Antoninus Pius- Peaceful Natural Marcus Aurelius- Plague Lucius Verus- Plague Commodus- Violent Unnatural Pertinax- Violent Unnatural Didius Julianus- Violent Unnatural Septimus Severus- Violent Natural Caracalla- Violent Unnatural Geta- Violent Unnatural Macrinus- Violent Unnatural Diadumenian- Violent Unnatural Elegabalus- Violent Unnatural Alexander- Violent Unnatural Maximinus I- Violent Unnatural Gordian I- Violent Unnatural Gordian II- Violent Unnatural Pupienus- Violent Unnatural Balbinus- Violent Unnatural Gordian III- Unknown (Likely Unnatural) Philip the Arab- Violent Unnatural Philip II- Violent Unnatural Decius- Violent Unnatural Herennius Etruscus- Violent Unnatural Hostilian- Plague Gallus- Violent Unnatural Volusianus- Violent Unnatural Aemilian- Violent Unnatural Silbannacus- Unknown Valerian- Unknown Gallienus- Violent Unnatural Saloninus- Violent Unnatural Claudius Gothicus- Plague Quintillus- Unknown Unnatural Aurelian- Violent Unnatural Tacitus- Peaceful Natural Florian- Violent Unnatural Probus- Violent Unnatural Carus- Accident (Lightning) Numerian- Unknown Carinus- Violent Unnatural Diocletian- Unknown Maximian- Violent Unnatural Constantius I- Peaceful Natural Galerius- Violent Natural Severus II- Unknown Maxentius- Accident (Drowned) Licinius- Violent Unnatural Maximinus Daia- Peaceful Unnatural Valerius Valens- Violent Unnatural Martinian- Violent Unnatural Constantine I- Peaceful Natural Constantine II- Violent Unnatural Constans I- Violent Unnatural Constantius II- Peaceful Natural Vetranio- Peaceful Natural Julian- Violent Unnatural Jovian- Accident (Suffocated) Valentinian I- Accident (Ragequit) Valens- Violent Unnatural Gratian- Violent Unnatural Valentinian II- Violent Unnatural Mangus Maximus- Violent Unnatural Victor- Violent Unnatural Theodosius I- Violent Natural Arcadius- Unknown Honorius- Violent Natural Constantine III- Violent Unnatural Constants II- Violent Unnatural Theodosius II- Accident (Horse) Constantinus III- Peaceful Natural Joannes- Violent Unnatural Valentinian III- Violent Unnatural Marcian- Violent Natural Petronius Maximus- Violent Unnatural Avitus- Unknown Majorian- Violent Unnatural Libius Severus- Unknown Anthemius- Violent Unnatural Olybrius- Violent Natural Glycerius- Unknown Julius Nepos- Violent Unnatural Romulus Augustulus- Unknown

I heard that there was a reason why the boys ended up as a stillborn, miscarriage or died in child birth, Henry the 8th carried some defective gene or something that only affected the Males of that family

Edward was not sickly until the end of his life.

Did anyone see that mist that passed behind him in the opening of this video? Creepy!!!

You said Queen Catherine’s mother was Elizabeth. In fact, it was Isabella.😊

I love history

Katherine Howard was just a naive teenager who trusted people too much

anne of cleves didnt do nothing she did what they other wives he didnt want did she gave him the divorce and freedom he wanted and even remained his friend and they visited each other and she continued to be involved with his kids he even called her his sister. the other wives died because the were to stubborn or proud to give him what he wanted had they gave in they might have lived. he was a monster who wanted his way anne of cleves knew that and used the situation to set herself up so she didnt have to go home and be remarried.

By any chance you could do the habsburg?

I would love to hear about the Stuart dynasty It’s all very interesting to me but lots of historians tell it differently which makes it confusing and mixed feelings about wether it’s true or not

I wonder if Henry also had diabetes because his wounds wouldn’t heal properly.

You should have done Margaret Pole

Wow I feel like it’s unheard of for a king and queen to actually like each other. I hate monarchy but to hear that the king cried for his wife is weird considering his son murdered a few of his

2:12 what movie is that image from?

Maybe the Plantagenets?

Spa days, in Tudor England! I love it 😂😂

An interesting and well-researched video. I only wish that the narration would slow down some so that I can keep track of all the facts as they are presented.

what's the opening tune? thanks in advance

@The Shy Historian, I absolutely enjoyed this video so much, I have watched it numerous times. Humor me with a number of comments I'd love to discuss with you! @14:55 I completely agree with you; not only is Anne of Cleves my favorite of Henry's wives, I also think she was the most successful, if that makes sense. She was smart enough to do what would keep her alive, that being give the man monster what he wanted, which was her out of the way. She could either have land (which produced income), annual pensions, servants and keep her life OR risk losing her life, and have to sleep aside a morbidly obese, smelly, oozing of piss and thankfully at least, a likely impotent man. I often laugh about Henry's comments about how gross he found her body and smells, when let's face it; the likely only one who was fat and smelly was him. I also find it medically curious that despite having six wives, Henry produced only 3 children who lived past the age of 15. Now, we know George Boleyn notoriously read outloud a letter at his trial which indicated his sister Anne commented Henry was impotent. Guess Jane Seymour did the magic trick. @11:36 Hmm... Not a fan of Dr. Starkey? I understand he is controversial, but he did an absolutely smashingly good lecture about Catherine Howard not long ago, which I loved so much I have watched it countless times. While I adore Dr. Starkey, I do understand why others do not, but I will agree with one thing he said, which is historians get better with age, as I think that is true about humans in general. Generally speaking, it is life experiences which teach us lessons, gaining wisdom along the way. Lastly, @15:30 I have always had the utmost pity for Mary 1. I'm not going to list out all the details of why, as it is quite laborious, but here we go. She did not marry until very late in life, and then to a man (and her cousin, ha!) who was younger and found her unattractive, and thus likely didn't enjoy doing his "duty" by her. He often abandoned her, leaving her depressed, lonely and sad, knowing full well that his lack of intercourse with her only lessened her already meager changes of conception. Even after her death, he is to have said he felt "reasonable regret" on her passing. We know he went on to try to woo her sister Elizabeth, and rather quickly, too. As always, I enjoy all of your videos and truly look forward to more, partially about the lesser known and discussed Tudors, such as Henry VII and Mary I. Id also adore videos on Queen Victoria, Mary, Queen of Scots and Lady Margaret Beaufort. While we are at it, let's discuss the mess of Harry and tell "Lady" Victoria Harvey to take a seat and stop defending Prince Andrew. Thank God I have Piers Morgan. Haha...cheers!

Syphiliis. Suitable pronouncement for the lecher King Henry VIII. Sow the wind. Reap the Whirlwind.

How about the Stuart family, Mary Queen of Scots, her only child a son ended up ruling after elizabth as she died with no children and Mary is Elizabeth's first cousin, Henry the 8th was Mary's uncle, through henrys sister I think, I'm the most Interested abiut that family, I love hearing about this kind of thing

Im related to Anne Boleyn

Really enjoyed it, thank you. It seems that Richard the III may not have been a wicked hunched back; pure Tudor propaganda, including the death of the princes. Perhaps a look into this....

Very unique and........ appropriate?

I’m of course distantly related to Catherine Howard, (1st cousin 15times removed) the Boleyn and Lady Jane! Lady Jane’s life was tragic! A pawn of men and their quest for power.

How about the Plantagenets?

this is amazing in all , but why is philp fleeing to england? 15:46

Anna von Kleve is my favorite too. I thought cancer took her life though?

My favorite part about the Tudors is about Henry VIII wives especially Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard I know most of it from the show "The Tudors" So if you want to know more abut that I suggest you watch The Tudors or Six the Musical.

Henry VII was my 13th great-grandfather. I am descended through his daughter Margaret.

Henry this is why you don’t joust in celebration of your first wives death you’ll get hurt Henry :😮😮😮😮

the sound of the cause of death should be more quiet

I didn't realize Lady Jane was so young when she was executed.

10:55 AAAGHH WHAT IS SHE HOLDING!??!?!?!?

If Henry 7th had just remarried and had more sons they future events would not have happened - so really Henry 7th destroyed his line by not giving Henry 8th any younger brothers to ease some of his marital duties

Anne Boleyn And Jane Where Both Called ‘Henry’s True loves’ What about The Others Weren’t They Henry’s True Love As Well It Sounds Like he was a hopeless romantic however Henry knew how strong and fearless and smart Anne Was but The Other Wife’s Where As Well he didn’t treat them fairly he just wanted a son and pretend he didn’t like Elizabeth But he secretly did because she resembled her Mother So Well each child was like there mother in there Own Way

I believe Anne of Cleves passed away from breast cancer. They may have had different surnames but Fitzroy and Jane Grey had Tudor blood. So execution and the sweating sickness I'd list....

Some of your facts are wrong but nice to see others interested in history

Well, this is different to how I've understood history. I didn't think there was any doubt that Henry viii died from sepsis. Also Jane Seymour. Arthur had sweating sickness as I understand. Edward vi wasn't generally unhealthy until he caught measles and smallpox. This weakened him enough to die from TB.

I think Catherine Howard and Jane Grey were the saddest.

Henry 8th: head go brrr

"immediately married Catherine of Aragon" Did he though? 😂

Lady Jane gray is very sad

How about Stuart s

So slay

Kathryn literally fast (starved herself) DURING pregnancy and still thought God was the one killing her babies

Did Starkey actually say that?? 😮

I thought you said yeast

anyone else think abt horrible histories when seeing the name of this???

Which king was locked in the dungeon with a raven and a dog

Henry 8 died of natural causes and Elizabeth 1 died of poisoning from her makeup

Mary didn’t know she married.
