The TRAGIC Execution Of The Carthusian Monks

During the Tudor period, there was a huge amount of religious change brought about following Henry VIII's break from Rome. He desperately wanted to divorce his first wife Catherine of Aragon, and as the Pope would not give him permission, he split from the Church making himself the Supreme Head of the Church of England. In England, religious figures and monks were required to accept that Henry was the new Head of the Church, but there was much opposition to this.
One group who refused to accept Henry VIII as the Head of the Church was the Carthusian Monks, with many staying inside the London Charterhouse. These were a very peaceful and tranquil group of men who were devoted entirely to their Catholic faith and they were very respected. However a number of these would refuse to accept the King's changes, and for this around 18 monks were executed in a number of different ways. Some were executed publicly in brutal fashion on Tower Hill in front of a huge crowd, but many more were executed by starvation, dying inside the horrific conditions of Newgate Prison.
Henry VIII's treatment of the Carthusian Monks was completely horrifying, and it showed what an evil and brutal ruler he could be as the King when he didn't get his own way. One of these monks was even one of his friends, and despite trying to convince him to accept him as the Head of the Church, the Monk still refused and was then sentenced to death after staying inside the Tower of London.
So join us today as we look at the tragic executions of the Carthusian Monks.
Minor edit: Anne Boleyn was executed by sword not axe. Figure of speech - apologies.

It's strange how such an evil king, can be used to get the Scriptures in the English language distributed in, and read to every single congregation in the country. In a language, that "every English plow boy," and everyone else could understand. " The Holy Scriptures are able to make thee wise unto Salvation, through faith, which is in Christ Jesus." 2 Timothy 15:3. Providential then, that the Scriptures in English, travelled worldwide as the British Empire expanded. Just sayin.!

This story relates only one incident of those times. There were approximately 800 monasteries, abbeys, and priories in England at the time, not to mention the churches. Henry, and his daughter Elizabeth, ordered the dissolution, ransacking and looting of them all, taking anything of value for the Crown, and distributing the buildings and land to Henry's supporters. Anyone visiting England and admiring those wonderful cathedrals, property of the Church of England, should be aware that they were paid for and built by Catholics.

@@mmiller4569 anyone killing anyone else because of the different view on religion is unacceptable to me as a Christian. Christ will not hold me guiltless. I think that what this shows is the troubled road that Henry in all his brutality took us down. Having started on this road the way back was almost impossible. He set in train the brutal repression that was to mark the next 300 years in British religious life. The unbelievably sick way the Irish Catholic’s were allowed to starve to death in the Great Famine, when they were our fellow countrymen, is for me the final plot twist in what began under Henry. The hatred for catholic’s went so deep that almost 100 years after the enlightenment, in arguably the richest country on the planet at that time, we British allowed over 1,000,000 of our fellow countrymen to die of starvation is a horrid fact. Consider if this famine had occurred in one of the states in the USA. It is inconceivable that a million people would be permitted to starve to death whilst the other states looked on and did practically nothing. But it happened here. And what’s more, it’s not like we could claim geographically it was all so far away, an argument one could make if this was to have happened in the USA. At least they would have the benefit of saying “our country is so vast!!!” Our country was tiny by comparison. Make no mistake, hsd the irish embraced protestantism this woukd not hsbe been allowed to happen but they were catholics. Apologies for going off on this tangent but I see the seeds of Henry’s planting in the final death throes of over 1 million of our own countrymen 3 centuries later. Still want to discuss the 200 killed under Mary?

To be fair, Mary I didn't reign for as long as either her father or her sister, but you're right. They were every bit as brutal as "Bloody Mary," if not more so. Part of the issue is that much of our history is seen through an English Protestant "lens." It would be just as valid to speak of Elizabeth I as "Bloody Bess." instead of "Good Queen Bess."

We were given this supreme example by God as a map for each of us to extract the ultimate meaning from , and to transform the inevitable suffering and crosses in life into Glory. We are born into death and we die into life . When the logos is taken out of sex the person is separated from the Father profoundly. A society that celebrates such is soon enough going to collapse in chaos . The forces of Antichrist or antilogos will tell you you don't need to carry any cross ,that suffering is worthless and meaningless and there is no need to transform Christ like . You are grand the way you are.The viserol anger of people when their sexual deviancy is highlighted is off the charts .

Well, Henry succeeded magnificently. Practically the entire population went from being Catholic to Anglican without a whimper. He and his supporters became incredibly wealthy due to the massive confiscation of the Church's assets. He created his own personal church. HIS Personal Church, now called the Church of England/Anglican church, remains the official state church to this day. The Anglican communion is spread throughout the world. He incited England's own "Cultural Revolution" and unlike Mao, the changes were permanent despite attempts to reverse it. Of course, much of England's pre-reformation heritage, libraries and treasures were destroyed but people don't miss what have been obliterated and forgotten. All made possible by making examples of a handful of people. Whoever said that evil and killing and terror do not work?

@stevenleslie8557 3 года назад

No doubt Anne had witnessed some botched beheadings and feared this greatly. The King was persuaded to bring in a professional swordsman in from France to do the deed (that was kind of him 🤔). After Anne was blind folded, the swordsman asked someone to hand him his sword. Not knowing the executioner already had his sword, Anne's head was immediately parted from her body.

Thank you for this. I suggest to all in Great Britain (or anywhere) the reading of “Characters of the Reformation” by Hilaire Belloc, published 1936 and again in print. It will explain to you much about how the British were robbed of their Catholic heritage and faith, and by whom and through what circumstances.

@tommcconville4270 3 года назад

Very perceptive point of view John. The Irish, Scots and Welsh were indeed also robbed of their devout Catholic faith. I have ancestry of Irish, Welsh and Scottish, and also English and German. Some of my ancestors were Anglican as well as Catholic. The REAL truth of the matter was that Henry the Eighth usurped the Holy Catholic Faith and created the Anglican Church for his own evil purposes, and to position himself as an absolute despot to rule England and the whole of the British Isles. He persecuted Catholics with an unholy server, likened to holding a double edged sword to throats of the faithful martyrs, proclaiming their allegiance to Christ and His Holy Church

I’m not condoning what she did in any way but I can understand why Mary was so bitter during her reign. She saw her fellow Catholics literally butchered just for being Catholics by her father as a young woman and I’m very sure she feared she would receive the same fate be it by her father or her own subjects.

Henry VIII had no kindness, charity, or mercy on display during his brutal reign. He was a beast of a man. He ruined countless lives, even setting things up for more barbarity for many years after his death, having given us Bloody Mary and Elizabeth I, who both had their own legacies of blood and charred flesh. The sad thing is that he somehow considered himself a devout Christian to the end. smh.

Had the treacherous Stanleys not changed sides, and had the cowardly Earl of Northumberland not run away, during the Battle of Bosworth Field, history would have turned out very differently.

It depends where you stand. If you believe that the blood relationship between the Papacy and the various monarchs of Europe was neutral. Then no. But, if you believed that the Papacy acted in a way to impact the political arrangements in the various nations it claimed spiritual primacy, by controlling land and vast wealth, then any king of a fairly new dynasty would see the influence of the Church as being problematic. Not only had the Papacy taken sides in the wars between England and France, but their rules got in the way of Henry securing a heir. So, politically and economically, the Catholic Church's influence over his subjects was a barrier to Henry's ambitions.

@mallon201 3 года назад

@@BigHenFor 'Their rules got in the way of Henry securing an heir', that was the bottom line, the one thing that brought about all this savagery, bloodshed and theft, or was it Henrys excuse to get away with leading a life of debauchery, murder and theft. Plenty of his ancestors weren't able to secure an heir, they didn't react in the way he did, it's just a feeble excuse used to describe the behaviour of 'one greedy bastard', to put it in layman's terms. He wasn't satisfied with being King, he wanted more, he needed more wealth, so he set about taking it from others.

I'm not convinced that his desire for a male heir and a second wife was Henry's sole motivation for the reformation. Even after Anne Boleyn was executed, he continued to pursue his religious policies ruthlessly and rigorously. It seems quite clear that he enjoyed the absolute power that came with being head of the English Church.
