That was 'normal' for the time, women were seen as beings to be "wedded and bedded" in the most advantageous way for their father's since they were owned by them as mere chattels.
@@OdeInWessex If it were normal, the rest of Europe would not have found his actions deplorable. We have written accounts from all over during that period from other individuals who detested his particular treatment of his wives and those who served him. He was by no means "Normal" for the time period. While, yes, treating women like objects was common practice, Henry treated his wives worse. Although the little solace his wives may have had is that it is generally accepted that Henry likely never physically abused any of his wives, this being because his sole purpose of having them in the first placevwas first and foremost for the production of royal heirs and thus, beating your wife would be counterintuitive even by their standards.
@@kittye8340 He was actually well documented for beating his wives, actually. This led to the many recorded miscarriages the women had, particularly when Anne misscarried an approximately 22-26 week male fetus. Naturally, he blamed her "weaknesses" for this. Y'know if she were a good, strong woman she could take his beatings better. (This is sarcasm. I have to point that out in my comments these days.) Such an awful, awful man.
@@cassandralyris4918 Um, that is blatantly false. Henry was not well known for that. If he were, historians with actual degrees in this stuff would not be sitting here discussing why his wives miscarried. They have proposed the actual reason for all the miscarriages was the rH factor. Btw, Anne's miscarriageS you refer to, of which we only definitively know of her being pregnant twice, occurred while Henry WAS NOT EVEN ANYWHERE NEAR HER. In one instance he was Jousting and the shock of him injuring himself and reopening his wound was thought to cause enough stress that Anne miscarried. So, no.
My husband is starting to call your videos “Her Disgusting Abuse” 😂 He’s a goof. Everything those girls went through was nothing but disgusting. I feel like his treatment of Mary made her a very hard monarch. 😢
Haha! I think she should change the name to that. Life was very harsh, and usually short even when you’re not being executed.what semblance of what we call healthcare, became more superstition. What they called the dark ages…which were not, but were more enlightened than the Middle Ages.
To be fair, Anne was instructed to be nasty to Catherine and Mary by Henry and Cromwell. It doesn't make it RIGHT, but it does deserve context. Mary suffered greatly in life and even in death she suffers from the anti-catholic myth of "Bloody Mary". I'm not a Catholic apologist (or even Christian) but the fact remains she killed very very few people in comparison to her father and even her sickly (probably slowly poisoned to death) little brother. All of these women were trapped in this awful gilded cage.
How many persons, thereabouts, was it that she burned? Or is that estimated number of public by-burning executions completely an anti-Catholic manufacture created by "white" protestant persons (who were "assigned" male at birth) ... Catholics always having been wrongly maligned with such fabricated deprecations of malevolence that its monarchs and popes have employed.
Agreed. I don't think she really deserves the name "bloody". Even though she did kill a lot of people, killing them for religion was normal at the time(still doesn't make it right) and Elisabeth also killed a lot of people(not as many as she did though) for the same reason and we barely ever mention those. She killed somewhere in the 500's, Henry killed somewhere in the thousands, if any of them deserve he name "bloody" it's him not her.
A lot of people don’t like to remember it, but Elizabeth was arguably just as “Bloody” as Mary. It’s just people tend to forget about it because of the fact that Elizabeth reigned for 45 years and defeated the Spanish Armada.
I wish Henry Viii would have loved his daughters as much as son. Queen Katherine of Aragon suffered a lot to give him a son. Anne Boleyn gave her life for his quest for son. How impatient was Henry.
This is one of my favorite areas of interest. What I find interesting in this is that nowadays we know it is the male chromosome that determines the sex of the baby. So Henry was shooting girls. If they only knew back then….
Instead of making Anne Boleyn a villain, you should try and understand the historical context. Once Anne was made Queen, she was immediately at odds with Catherine and Mary. Unless both of them accepted Anne as Queen, they were a danger to her. And, considering what had happened just before during the War of the Roses, it was absolutely not impossible for someone to marry Mary and come after Anne and her offspring. It was Game of Thrones. You win or you may well die. Its not like Anne could afford to be all nice and just ignore that Mary would be perfectly willing to put a knife into her back at first opportunity. Anne´s stance towards Mary might have changed if she would have had a boy. That might have secured her position beyond doubt and allow her to feel much safer. Also, surprisingly, there seems there was not that huge a rift between Mary and Elizabeth. They obviously understood that they might one day fight a war against each other. They must have had that present in their minds since an early age. However, they kind of bonded pretty well given the circumstances. If it was not for the religious side of things, it looks almost has they might have worked well together as sisters. Allas....they did follow different rival religious factions and that did open up a huge gap between them. Its also quite surprising that Mary actually allowed Elizabeth to live and even be her heir. She had to like her somewhat considering that she was well aware Elizabeth would turn the country away from Catholicism as soon as Mary would close her eyes.
So it’s okay that Anne was cruel to a child because she needed to secure her position? Anne had a horrible fate, that doesn’t mean she was a nice or even good person. Things don’t always have to be black or white. Y’all want Anne to be a perfect victim so bad
I totally agree with your concise and thoughtful comment. This channel, though thorough, is marred to an extant by the authors opinions. Her opinions reflect todays moral compass, not the historical context of the very brutal times that all the people lived through, dished out and endured, including females. Females, through many writings may have been the top poisoners of people, (their enemies), and for hire. Not sure if her angle here by all these, “trigger” titles and scripts are solely to get more views or she believes her own scripts.
@@mychannel-rt2gn Anne wasn't a perfect victim but, ultimately she was a victim.... of the times, her family, and the king. Imagine if death always loomed over your head, how would you behave? Especially in a world where women were property! You can't imagine that, none of us can. And none of us really know what happened. The record may say this or that but, there's no way to really know the truth.
PLEASE STOP PERPETUATING “THE PERFECT VICTIM MYTH” IN THESE COMMENTS. You can do wrong things and still be wronged. Anne did many unsavory things in her lifetime, including emotionally (and physically through proxy) abuse a child. This fact doesn’t make her fate any less unfair and wrong. Most people aren’t either good or bad. Anne wasn’t perfect but she was still a victim. HerRemakableHistory is giving us facts yet so many of you are concerned that it makes Anne look bad. This way of thinking is why so many modern victims don’t get justice.
I get what you’re saying. Anne wasn’t a saint, but indeed she didn’t deserve beheading. As you say, people have good and bad to them and focusing only on the good, you get a very incomplete picture of who they were.
I agree, it annoys me that anytime Anne Boleyn's behavior towards Mary is pointed out, you get a bunch of Anne Boleyn fans making up excuses for it. Yes, Anne's death was undeserved and she wasn't the only one who treated Mary and Catherine poorly, obviously Henry is the main one at fault, but Anne was her own person who was capable of making her own choices. Hell, she had Henry take Catherine's jewels just so she could have them for herself. She's no saint at all. And yeah, she did try to reconcile with Mary and begged her forgiveness when she was about to be executed, but in Mary's position, I don't blame her for not wanting any part of it even though it definitely would have made things easier for her.
I think this youtuber is exaggerating and omitting HUGE details and just shit posting for clicks. This is the worst historical video I have ever seen. Just a total lack of any depth, understanding and filled with Presentism. This bizarre notion that we should judge people from 500 years ago, by todays standands.
Agreed. I think it's a bogus and twisted idea of feminism. She seems to see victimisation in women as a virtue. She also seems to think the rest of us only find women likeable and interesting if she claims they suffered "disgusting abuse".
@@elegantbird8240 Totally agree with you. If you think this one is bad, listen to some of her others! It goes far beyond just having a different opinion or perspective than me - a lot of her facts are plain wrong and she's getting monetized for the privilege. It's a little arrogant.
How many persons, thereabouts, was it that she burned? Or is that estimated number of public by-burning executions completely an anti-Catholic manufacture created by "white" protestant persons (who were "assigned" male at birth) ... Catholics always having been wrongly maligned with such fabricated deprecations of malevolence that its monarchs and popes have employed.
Lol! Yeah, I said the same thing about her Mary Boleyn video, which was in itself "disgusting abuse" of Mary Boleyn's memory since it perpetuated well known myths about Mary Boleyn and the fiction of Phillipa (The Other Boleyn Girl) Gregory.
