The BRUTAL Execution Of Bishop John Fisher 

There was about 20 Catholic bishops when Henry Took over the church in England, Only one stood up against him St. John Fisher “As his body grew weaker, his faith grew stronger.”

St John Fisher, pray for us. Great example of courage against a brutal tyrant. May our Catholic bishops have a fraction of the courage of this great man.

Saint John Fisher was also a visionary, praying on the scaffold not only for the soul of his sovereign, Henry, but also Henry’s realm. He could see even then where the ideology behind the Reformation would lead, not to just the Dissolution of the monasteries, but eventually to the Dissolution of England herself. We now tolerate the public mocking of Christ and anyone who professes a Christian faith and acts upon it in public life is open to be ridiculed, if not persecuted. Christianity is the butt of comedy and the wilful selfishness of Henry, that you can be and do whatever your own moral compass directs, is the prevailing counsel of modern life. And England herself is becoming less the land of the English and more the land of anyone who sets foot on her, with the English, because of their skin colour, having to deny their own race and their own history.

I always appreciated his final words. He said everything and he meant it. No just or merciful king nonsense

Reason 11,531 for why Henry VIII was one of the great monsters in history.

"The more I hear about this Henry VIII fella, the more I don't care for him." -Norm MacDonald, eventually.

No justice ever existed where a monarch proclaimed to be above all known laws...

So sad. One’s lust led to so many deaths in years to come

Saint John Fisher , Pray For Us All !

I'm learning lots of interesting history from this channel and for that I thank you @TheUntoldPast. Merry Christmas to you and your channel Sir.

This is such a tragic story

Henry the 8th is the worst thing that could have ever happened to England

Great series, and excellent narration. Keep up the great work!

There is a Saint John Fisher College in Rochester New York

Isn't John Fisher a saint in the Catholic Church

Fantastic video and great background music fits the video perfectly

Thank you for sharing. Keep up the good work.

I have been watching these amazing historical accounts and your knowledge and passing it all on in countless video over the 3 days and I have to say what incredibly brave people that stood there ground in the name of faith. As I have stated I have always been into the history of the Tudor’s , but never knew about this amount of history . Thanks for posting 👍

I love your channel, happy holidays 🎄

So many people had high positions, but fell so badly.

Another great video!

This topic was well researched and well presented. Many thanks for your efforts. Rob

Bruh you really teaching me about the 1500/1600's timeframe better then 4 years of IGCSE Cambridge history fr 😂 (to be fair we learned more on modern history, from around WW1 and to WWII and the Cold War and all those damn treaties 😭😶) keep up the good work for real tho👌🏾😤💜

Excellent presentation, thanks

Executed then tortured..... how awful.

Thank you, stay well thru the holidays. ☮️❣️

Henry's disrespect of Fishers body meant little, for Fisher was already in Heaven.

This channel is top quality.... I’m learning so much history

The Tudors were a blight on the history of humanity.

I wonder if Anne Boleyn felt guilty at all over these horrible deaths. Not that she could have stopped it, but she knew this was all so the king could marry her.

Good video. Fanks mate ☺️

John Fisher was my great grandfather (16th). So proud of this lineage!

How could Henry VIII who often spoke of his hatred of protestant heretics, try to steal a bequest that his grandmother left to the church, destroy some of the most beautifull abbeys and monasteries in Europe and loot them and murder Bishops and even his own wives? How can the English take such a King seriously and look upon such a wicked man as a great King? I never understood it.

No wonder Henry died the way he did bloated and disease ridden.

You do some good videos 🙂

What's the name of the music that's always playing in your videos?

Any enemy of Henry VIII is a friend of mine.

Decent man to the end

Impressive man!

0:25 His shortfall? Wrong. His sainthood

Great video, I might changed the title to something else. its more of an inspirational video than well, anything else.

What happens if you say you won’t forgive the executioner?

What would Henry have done if someone tried to assassinate him, and only wounded him ?

How about a video on the horrible death of Henry viii?

Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. - Carl Sagan

What is so brutal about death by a clean 1 stroke axe cut, in a time of when there were many beheadings, some needing 3 or more hits to sever the head ?

" Mr Fisher .....there's a letter for you ! " " Put it in the basket . I'll read it later... "

So all this happened because of some King who cared about his flesh more than he cared about what was right?

In all fairness Henry treated his own body poorly.

What these people did to each other!! What these people stood up for and died for!! Insanity

Emaciated

Like comment below says, thank you for educating me on important history! Great channel, wen I saw this I thought of someone who was brutally excuted in Gloucester at the stake or somthing an the fire kept going out, I won't say no more incase you haven't done that one yet, if you ain't I'd love to hear from you as I don't know what to believe, swear he was a monk an it was glouster cathedral an I swear a queen or something came to watch from a window that I have seen in the flesh b4 knowing any history an I SWEAR To YOU I felt a presence at window then saw window in a ghost book yrs later stating many have seen a lady ghost there! Swear his name was similar to this one so I was especting him, I'll check now if you've done him if not please consider him as it facinating history 👍

Why Henry VIII always associated with executions? does he likw to execute people? his he that paranoid? likw Caligula🤣

When I watch these, I'm waiting for John Cleese to pop out with a dead parrot wanting his money back🤣

After watching your videos...... I'm glad we left England in 1776.

I heard you say "emanciated body". I think the word is "emaciated body"...very thin. 7:42.

St John Fisher was a wonderfully brave and decent man who stood for the true faith, but Henry was an evil man

At 7:44 you seem to seem to say "emanciated". I think you mean "emaciated".

Richard Rich. God, look at that name.

This is the movie a man for all seasons. I thought it was about Thomas more. Have u done that one?

I would be genuinely curious to hear the opinion of any active member of Church of England on Henry VIII. I studied many books about Henry VIII and Tudors in general, including the religious affairs, foreign affairs, etc. I noticed that many British authors stick to the old propaganda about how monasteries were evil, how catholic church was bad and corrupt and so on. Luckily, more and more authors now reveal that accusations agains monasteries were the combination of Henry's and Cromwell's hatred against Rome and the effort to earn money and treasures because of the empty state treasury. Of course, there were corrupted bishops like Wolsey, but the example of those was highlighted, while the work of thousands of monks who were helping poor or ill people and provided the care of orphans, was diminished on purpose (the increase of poverty after the abolition of monasteries was enormous). What is even more embarrassing is that Henry VIII created the church that was not Roman Catholic but not protestant as well. He ordered the burning of protestant "heretics", but banned some key features of catholic religion as well. He surely did not realize that he created the "mixture" which will collapse after his death. I mean, no matter what do you believe, if you look at the Henry's madness that was unleashed after cca 1530, you simply have to admit he became a tyrant without any self-awareness, killing everybody who opposed him without any logical key. He ordered to execute his wives, his former friends (More), members of clergy (Fisher, abbots, monks), his right hand (Cromwell), nobility (Surrey, Pole, Grey), common people, etc. His attitude towards his family members and closest friends was horrible. I mean OK, I don't have any problem to admit that Roman Catholic church made many mistakes during medieval ages and the reformation was kind of expected outcome which actually helped also the church itself to change into today image. So I can accept the opinion of any protestant saying - our denomination was created because of the errors in Roman church. But what will the member of the Church of England tell me? Our denomination was created because our king wanted to divorce? Because that was the origin of British reformation, nothing more and nothing less. The subsequent events (increased acceptance to protestant ideas, partly due to Boleyns/Cranmer influence, the abolition of monasteries, etc.) were only the consequences of one man's foolish ideas. It is interesting to discuss these issues with English to see how they are influenced by hundreds of years of propaganda, how straightforward they see those events. Henry VIII - the founder, Elizabeth I - Golden age.... While as you look closer to the sources, you will find the oppression of Catholics during Tudors reign (except 1553-58) as quite horrible, actually the estimates of Henry VIII victims are worse than Spanish Inqisition, especially considering how short timespan his reign covered. However, many people in GB still see it like - Mary = bloody evil, Elizabeth I - almost saint. It is interesting that many people there still believe that catholics actually were responsible for many attempts on queen's life, while even British modern historians suggest that most of them (if not even all) were actually the work of protestant infiltrators/agents provocateur to further discredit catholic minority. It is interesting to read how Cecil and Dudley were actually paranoid and they saw catholics everywhere. Nevertheless, history is written by winners and the result is that many people in GB still see Catholics as bad. From my point of view, we should really move on and stop excusing the deaths of catholics during the reign of Elizabeth by the deaths of protestants during the reign of Mary. I think we should get rid of that historical propaganda and admit those were cruel times, things like "Golden age" are actually creation of propaganda and the religious acceptance and tolerance was really bad during the reigns of both sisters. The religious oppression in England was a fact (honestly, nobody can really accept that all those priests, monks and common people were trying to commit treason. From what I read about Campion - he made an oath not to even criticize Elizabeth) and we really shouldn't make an excuses for that. We should rather reconcile, forgive the faults of our opponents, ask for forgiveness for our faults (and there were also many, saying this as catholic), forget the past and live in peace. We believe in the same God!

Well, he choose the Pope over his king and lost his head for it. Should have left for Spain or Rome.

Terrifying

Did the Tudors just execute all clergy?

So Richard Rich took down Fisher and More.

The problem I have with Catholicism is that they put complete faith and servitude into one human being as the unequivocal and final word on all things related to God. In a sense making them godlike. There is one God and no man speaks for him.

St John Fisher pray for us.

The royals would do the same today it they got away with it.

Excellent. My 13th great grandfather.

did the narrator really say "emanciated" e maN ci ated ?????

I wonder where evil Henry is now, maybe in the same place as his daughter Mary

all killings are horrid and brutal.

Always brutal...

At least henry viii gave England Elizabeth l.

I think that his faith didn't come into play if he was ordering someone elses death. So why does history contend that his death was a tragedy what goes around comes around. Amen.

Ah, religion.

What was with Europe and brutal executions yikes.

He had other men arrested,who were tortured and executed....what goes around comes around

LOL his body was stripped for an entire a day after being beheaded! Henry VIII was such a troll :P

5:31 Spandau Ballet anyone? 😊

The excecution part starts at 6:47 for those who dont want to listen to the background story... Your welcome

I see you have some creepy trolls in comments... Your voice and narration is super good. The only thing I'd say try, is, slow it down just a tad. Otherwise your voice and narration is great.

All of your execution videos are “brutal”. How about a video with a “gentle” execution?

Henry VIII where struck with karma after he fell from horse and horse crush him..from that moment his life change from him in to hell .

Bad idea to disagree with the King in those days as it is in _any_ day! Especially bad idea to disagree with Henry VIII, one of Englands worst tyrants and psychopaths. Just nod and agree as who really gives a crap at the end of the day. Yes sire, of course sire, as you wish sire...

Religion and royalty, 2 primitive beliefs that should be confined to history.

The more I hear of King Henry the more I hate him

Anyone thinking this capriciousness sounds a lil like Trump?

What's so brutal about a standard beheading?

Informative, but you sound like you're reading from a book. ?

Richard Rich did away with Bishop Fisher and Sir Thomas Moore.

History ? Written by the winners .

terance stamp

should have listened to your king buddy. you had the choice

The hipo king. Chicken asss mouth wood to light th hell fires

Henry was a big boob-head.

Fantastic 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️

Dublette is pronounced dub-let.

Did the British have a Ministry of Silly Hats or something?? Who the heck designs a hat like that and for what reason?

This what this very well off lot are like.
