Why Henry VIII's Codpiece Is So...Monumental 

Goddanm

😮

How interesting. Maybe Henry finally had an heir.

@@starbird14 Lol I wish. We're just a run-of-the-mill French working class family.

you guys should get him a codpiece!!

@@dreiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiAlas, his only similarity with Henry VIII is their being dead.

"most"? He had two of them executed, so it's either all of them or just one.

for you americans 50 years ago is a lot, for anyone else it's a blip in time. The walls of my town are in engravings from the 12th century, and still stand today. I just saw the other day a painting of a tree on a nearby island, from 200 years ago. Buildings can last a thousand years, well maybe not your wood cabins.

Yup, it’s Bugs Bunny alright.

Absolutely worth it.

Henry Cavill for me

Lol!!!! So true

He's not going to answer you. Evan never interacts with his viewers.

@@plica06 i don't blame him. Its too much and in today's social media, maybe too risky. But his book was good, and I'd like another.

The truth is that Henry VIII's fertility is something we can only speculate about. There is literally no way that can be researched at this point. It is a possibility. Its also possible that he had extraordinarily bad luck with the male heir thing. Or that he simply had wacky ideas about how much one needs to have intercourse to secure a pregnancy. (You can find some devout Christians even today who still think "once is enough".) We shall never really know.

He did have a son fron that third wife

@@RobespierreThePoof taking into consideration the sheer number of spouses, mathematic and genetic probability both are strong indicators ..

He wasn't infertile, it's just that he was only having daughters. This was a constant problem in the Tudor dynasty: and in the Lancastrian family before them. Catherine of Aragon was also screwed by genetics: her parents also had no male heir, despite PLENTY of trying. Anne Boleyn might have had a son if Henry had let her live long enough, but she was power hungry and smelled blood so he kind of had to get rid of her. Jane Seymour did have a son, not too long after this picture. Unfortunately, he was sickly and Lady Seymour was wildly unpopular. Anne of Cleves probably did nothing wrong, but by this point Henry's mental state was seriously deterioriating so he was ordering his wives executed instead of actually fixing his problems. Eventually, his son Edward did survive to adulthood and take the throne, but he died after only a few years. Then it was Mary's turn, Henry's daughter by Catherine of Aragon. She decided to try and return England to the Vatican...but by this point the English reformation was beyond the monarch's control. This was a problem for Mary, because this Reformation was increasingly anti-monarchical. So yeah... that's why she is known as Bloody Mary. Then she died under somewhat mysterious circumstances, possibly contrived by her younger half-sister Elizabeth: who then took the throne.

England should never have had queens, but pass the crown over on males only.

Yes

You sure do know your feet huh

Isnt it the reverse

It's not true 😂

@@charmedprince Wasn't the whole point of founding the U.S. to put an end to kings? Why are conservatives trying to make that a thing again?

Not a DJT supporter. But do you ever get tired of political jokes? Especially the ones who peaked like 4 years ago? This is the equivalent of posting a harlem shake video thinking they'll get 1k views

@@NicitoStaAna You think Trump is as irrelevant as the harlem shake? He's literally the GOP front runner for president

It’s now called grey sweatpants 😅

@@jacksonjames2712only when they are pulled halfway down your arse

It's in the cycling shorts now😂

Switching up the flow as we add the prefix

He eventually had a son with Jane Seymour (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_VI), and as far as I am aware there is no evidence of adultery on her side

@amigos4erin...Thank you for the information!

Fat men have large handsome calves.

For real, as a foreigner who only heard this word at first, for a duration of time longer than I am willing to admit, I thought it is call "cockpiece" and said to myself wow that's really provocative.

cod, comes to the middle English word for scrotum. so in the 1500s it was as aggressive as you were hearing it :)

it was. it meant cockpiece at the time. the use of cock as penis didn't really start for about another 100 years.

Seems like you are compensating for your others lacks in life

It's important to remember that a royal's 'private' chambers meant a very different thing than it might to us today. People were moving about. Yes, there was something he wanted to prove to himself, but other people saw the work and would have gotten the message.

the modern day equivalent is the Time magazine cover Donald trump has on his wall, the fake one
