Maybe… probably. But, maybe not! She could have been guilty of some and not others. It does seem like it was just an overzealous witch hunt designed to be insane and full of enough awful things to convince Henry to be rid of her. But, who really knows? Maybe she did something completely different that just drove the elite nuts or actually was treasonous but not as bad as the crimes she was charged with. Again, I do think you’re probably right that she was imminent of all charges but it’s just so hard now a days to know the whole story.
It’s ironic that Henry VIII lives on in infamy as a murderous tyrant whilst his daughter with Ann Boleyn, Elizabeth, is remembered as the most beloved and famous English monarch. Love them or hate them the Tudor dynasty is the most famous in English history.
Am I supposed to feel sorry for Henry VIII? Nope, not gonna happen. A privileged spoiled psychopath who is responsible for the execution of 50,000 people.
The entire history of European monarchies is a categorical failure if you measure it by the one and only metric that should matter: *Did they make the lives of the working classes and the poor better, or worse?* From one English ruler to the next, the answer is always "worse." Just keep in mind how bourgeois these documentarians really are. They are useful to some extent if you're interested in history, but their ultimate aim is always to uphold and propagandize for colonialism, empire, and the power of the ruling classes.
Really wow.. but yep that was the last order his father gave him. Henry later uses this as a reason for them to grant his divorce from her so he can marry Anbe Bolyen
A gagging order? Would you want your personal secretary, housekeeper, and/or other employees discussing your personal business and gossiping about you? Henry was a tyrant but expecting employees to show loyalty and use discretion, especially ones with knowledge of your PERSONAL life, is completely reasonable. It’s called the PRIVY CHAMBER for a reason.
I really find him exceptionally fascinating. Henry the 8th was, what in today's world would be called a spoiled bully who was never told "no". A Karen if you will.
My brother real dad was Henry VIII an monster he was just like an monster boy that doesn't exist he was born in the England of the castle he was like Edwardd VI total monster I just wish he doesn't exist to our
Catherine should have done what Sarah did for her husband. She should have adopted Anne Bolyne as a broodsow to carry a son which she would adopt upon birth and then had Anne exiled or executed to ensure no relationship continued after the heir was sired.
