Before I even watch this: Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived
-
Queen: I'm pregnant henry Henry: is that a boy or execution?
-
1) Divorced: Catherine of Aragon 2) Beheaded: Anne Boleyn 3) Died: Jane Seymour 4) Divorced: Anne of Cleves 5) Beheaded: Catherine Howard 6) Survived: Catherine Parr
-
The irony is: Henry VIII was so obsessed with having a male heir, he disregarded the fact that his daughter became one of the most famous Queens of England
-
Why is no one to talking about king Henry’s poems? “I love you dad You are so pleasant I’m so glad I’m not a peasant” Lmaoooo
-
Gives birth to a girl Henry: So you have chosen death
-
There’s a book called the Dead Queens Club that’s about Henry VIII and his wives except it’s set in a modern day high school context. It’s fun to see how the author keeps the important historical events and translates them into complicated high school relationship dynamics.
-
"Be mean. Love gluttony! VIOLATE WIDOWS!" I can't help but grin every time
-
"Mary, we're all inbred!" He's not kidding, Henry was literally related to every single one of his wives. Not kidding. Look it up.
-
Fun fact: anne of cleves wasnt even ugly. Henry was interested in french literature at the time, where the handsome prince dresses as a peasant and the princess still falls in love with him. He tried pulling this move, and anne being rightfully disturbed, pushed him away. His ego was so bruised he attempted to put the blame on her. Even then, henry admitted years later he should have married her.
-
Man these wives need more recognition. They ye should make a musical or something out of it and name it the amount of wives there were, and give them iconic clothes and hairstyles, then make green sleeves the main motif for the starting and ending songs
-
Anne Boleyn didn’t want Henry’s advances at first. You guys know those men who don’t give up or leave you alone? Yeah that was Henry. So how do you say no to someone who won’t give up and happens to be the king? …you don’t. But she did play it smart by demanding marriage rather than mistress which then ended VERY unfortunately for her.
-
Henry's wife: *accidentally do something wrong* This enraged Henry VIII who punished her severly
-
Henry: I want to divorce my wife. Also Henry: you could make a religion out of this.
-
Actually, it is believed that Anne of Cleves was NEVER ugly. Its actually said that when she was on her way to meet the king who sent her a portrait of himself (in the portrait henry was MUCH MUCH younger), so when she was on her way and staying somewhere for rest HENRY out of nowhere came and kissed her. He wasnt dressed in royal clothing and was surely older, not the henry anne had saw in the portrait. SO henry despised her for that fact ANNE WAS NEVER UGLY
-
The autism makes me rewatch this every year and I’ve never regretted it
-
'Because of the wife killings?' 'Because of the wife killings' Dude, uncool.
-
Henry: “I hate my wife.” Advisor: “Lol which one.” Henry: “Off with his head.”
-
Fun fact: Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard were close relatives. They were cousins. Also after Henry VIII died, Catherine Parr married Jane Seymour's brother. Also Anne of Cleves stayed friends with Henry after their divorce, and Henry had been sending her more money than she could possibly ever spend. The only women in court that were before her were his daughters and his wife. Gurl was living her life in a palace in Richmond.
-
Elizabeth literally took England from a European backwater to a global power... it's actually kind nuts how in school so much time devoted to Henry.
