Excellent research video. Have you done one on Jane Rochford that I missed?

❤

I have always been fascinated with the portrait jewels. But I never knew these were the same necklace.

I agree with your conclusions that her teenage behaviour wasn't entirely her fault. As you say as she was older she should of known better. Young love can over rule your head. I think she was very naive. If she had people in her corner on her side and not Lady Rochford she may of stayedCulpepper.

Oh, those wacky royals! I am enjoying your channel more and more.

You say, at the beginning, that she was the daughter of Henry the SEVENTH but she was the daughter of Henry the EIGHTH, as far I know and can tell.

My biased fan girl opinion is based solely on Henry Cavill’s portrayal of Charles in The Tudors series 😉 Thank you for a great video!

So she was sleeping with men from an early age,she was sleeping with her then boyfriend while a girl roomate was sleeping next to her??!she was having an affair while married,but she was an "innocent child " who was being taken advantage.pleaseeee she knew what she was doing and manipulated eveyone around her

And this is why I have not and never will watch Bridgerton. Thank you for this video!

Regarding 200 years ago, those people who take shows and books as gospel need to read history books including Indian and Caribbean histories.

I heard the weather was bad. He was supplied with three parachutes to pick from the police. He picked the wrong kind parachute for that jump. He died in the forest after the jump. The animals took care of his body.

The first book I read that included him as a character was Mary Queen of France by Jean Plaidy. I thought Brandon was hot and like a rock star 😂 Learning the reality later was very disappointing lol

he sounds like a horrible, self-serving, cold-hearted pig. But then, he survived. Maybe, that's what you had to be in Henry's court.

@8:52 the wedding couldn't have been more despondent and miserable.

Henry the eight was a 🐖 🐷 🐽

Thanks

Thoroughly distasteful as a person to put it mildly, but talented at balancing things enough to keep a notoriously exection happy monarch resonably content with his continued existence and prosperity. Lots of folks couldn't even manage that when their only "crime" was breathing.

This video was sooooo helpful! I've been wondering about the true character of Henry VIII for years, especially in light of the camp that said he had a brain injury from jousting and basically absolving him of all bad behavior. This shows that, as you've asserted, he was likely just a spoiled-brat jerk, surrounded by other likeminded jerks who certainly couldn't throw stones because of the glass houses they all lived in (and didn't want to risk losing their heads anyway).

Why do I have a hard time listening to the speaker in these HC videos? She has great information, but her sing-song manner of speaking is hard for me to listen to...I wish she'd get someone else to read the information

Is there any proof that maybe Margaret Beaufort had them killed to put Henryvii on the theone

Charles Brandon is probably the first person to elicit the phrase, "ugh, this guy again."

I think that Charles’ relationships were a bit blown out of proportions in terms of his second wife. Considering that he imedietly went back to Anne Brown after he sold off her aunts land makes me think that she was in on it. Though this still makes him an a*shole

Airy body know who dat Princess was. Yeah it was that one princess....hmmm..who could rap. Rappin Zell ! The best Rappin Princess in all the countryside ! That is what I heard anyway. :O)

Knowing my luck I could have done this exact same thing the exact same way the exact same year and time and nobody would have ever heard of me or what I'd done. Lol

I am a specialist in Tudor poetics, rhetoric, theology, and history at university, and agree with you absolutely that at least where the Culpepper affair is concerned, Queen Katherine Howard 1) had had enough exposure to and experience with the always turbulent, muddy waters of Tudor court politics (particularly where King Henry VIII’s intimate/sex life was concerned), and regardless of the Dowager Duchess Agnes of Norfolk’s neglect of Katherine’s “formation” (in the French sense of both “education” *and* training in the sometimes rewarding intricacies and possible pitfalls of royal court intrigue), by the time of The 1541 Royal Progress of Henry and Katherine, she knew very well what a seriously dangerous course it was that she was charting with Culpepper, and was most certainly no ingénue in the matter. I am sick to death of reading one feminist “Tudor biographer/historian” after another insisting that in the affair with Culpepper and in her *choosing* to give Dereham a position at court as her private secretary “she had no more agency than any other early modern woman would have had.”That is poppycock. *Many* early modern women--especially widows, but by no means widows exclusively--exercised considerable agency and at times, even power. Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Richmond and Derby and eventually Queen Mother to King Henry VII, for instance, negotiated her way with great agency through many highs and lows during the drawn-out fifteenth-century English dynastic civil war between the rival royal houses of Lancaster and York-The Wars of the Roses-to eventually have the power to work with *another* powerful 15th-century woman, Queen Elizabeth Woodville, wife of the dead Yorkist King Edward IV, to **have the last, utterly brutal and ruthless Yorkist King, RICHARD III, overthrown and killed, so that her son--Henry of Richmond, the last claimant with a Lancastrian royal pedigree--could become King Henry VII; found the Tudor Dynasty; end the Wars of the Roses by marrying Queen Elizabeth Woodville’s daughter, Elizabeth of York, the White Rose and the immensely influential Mother of Henry VIII himself.** Marie de Guise, Regent of Scotland for her infant daughter, Mary Queen of Scots and Queen Consort of France, was an able ruler (far more capable than her daughter, as things turned out, and every bit a match for Henry VIII in the sixteenth-century political games of diplomacy and even warfare, gaining a battlefield victory over Henry VII’s English forces with her Franco-Scottish army in the successful siege of Broughty Castle. These are merely three of the *many* women with a great deal of agency in the sixteenth century. The sad fact is that ** IF KATHERINE HAD SIMPLY ACTED WITH PRUDENCE, PATIENCE, AND RESTRAINT, all that she yearned for could have been hers within less than six years, for Henry VIII died in January 1547. In the meantime, the old and seriously ailing King was as besotted with his “rose without a thorn” (Katherine) as ever, and would have continued to indulge her undignified and quite unconcealed, avaricious desire for more and more expensive fashionable dresses and rarer and rarer beautiful gemstone necklaces and rings. Katherine Howard was *many* fascinating and also *many* not-so-admirable things. Tragically for *her* sake, “patient” and “restrained” were *not* two of the things Katherine was, especially where her desire was concerned. And so in the end, *she* became the primary author of the gruesome story of her fall.

He was quite clever. I would not have wanted to be in Henry’s orbit.

This guy has been on my radar since my recent viewing of "The Tudors" (in which he was played by Bald Superman). A little beheading would certainly have improved his character. But what if Henry VIII's sister looked not so much like Gabrielle Anwar, as like Henry VIII, clean-shaven in a wig? A little more Henryish with each passing year....One pillow over...you'd get to waking up screaming a lot.

According to one source, Margaret of Austria, who apparently was a perceptive woman, laughingly told Brandon in a conversation among Henry, Brandon, and herself, when Brandon tried to give her a diamond ring, "Vous êtes un larron." ("You are a thief."). She wasn't having any. (She probably thought Henry's pushing one of his subjects on her was pretty impertinent.)

If anything his marriage to Mary sounds like it was just a marriage of convenience for them both. She didn't want to possibly be married off to another old guy, and he wanted royal clout. 🤔 Either way, HC who played him in The Tudors was super handsome lol 😍🥴. Great video!

What do you think of Jane Austen's choice to name her gentlemen "Brandon" and "Willoughby" in Sense & Sensibility?

He was an opportunistic fellow. He kept his head by staying away from politics. Hated the way he treated women. He and few others didn’t kneel down during Queen Anne Boleyn’s execution. There’s one more fellow that wasn’t a good man. His name was Richard Rich first Baron of Rich. He always knew which way the wind blew and changed. He was a sleaze that managed to keep his head. I can’t remember if you have done a video on him. I looked for one and I couldn’t find it. Thank you for the history lesson, adieu.

You said that Princess Mary was born in 1596, I think you meant 1496.

Horrible guy but gotta respect the grind in being able to live through Henry's reign while so close to him and still have his head attached to his neck and not in prison or anything 💀💀

Brother in law of Henry viii . Literally managed to marry the king 's sister 😮😮

Wasn’t Queen Victoria’s father, Prince Edward, George III’s son, not his brother as you stated at about 16:30?

Absolutely incredible he managed to live to a ripe old age of that time. Astute, a rogue and managing to tread the fine line makes for a facinating story.

"...allegedly...."😂

Thank you for adding that about Queen Charlotte's non-racial when that bridgeton show came out and showed her as a black woman the next day, I can't tell you how many of my friends call me up for me to have to say practically the same thing over and over and halfway argue with some of them. It got very frustrating. I wish people would stop screwing around with history. It's terrible when they play fast and loose with the truth

Well you don't like him because you're a woman. Women are too prejudiced to study and speak about history. I find this more and more recently. A scholar probably doesn't want to begin a lecture with "...and why I don't like him very much." Yes, had I been a woman in those days I would have stayed away from Charles. But, surely, women do not need to talk history. Good grief.

He definitely wasn’t someone you could ever trust in any circumstance. Your distaste for Charles seems perfectly reasonable.

ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE DIAMOND ? GODDESS BHADRAKALI OF WARANGAL, in Andhra Pradesh, India! Curse of "only a woman can wear it with impunity" was placed by the temple priests, way back in 11th century - the diamond was installed as Her 3RD EYE during the PRAN-PRATISHTHA (divine invocation) ceremony !!

Can you clarify on two pieces of writing. 1. Brandon died in debt 2. He took on a French mistress during the last attempt at war in France. If possible. Thank you in advance.

He was a philanderer just like Henry and proved himself useful to Henry, that combined with their long friendship and his savvy is what kept him alive. I agree with you in not liking him though, not a pleasant man in my opinion.

But Henry Cavil ….okay, the myth was worth it for HC. Seriously though, thank you for providing true insight into who he really was.

While I agree that the provenance of the locks are highly doubtable, it's worth remembering that not all "gingers" have a homogenous color of hair. I have auburn hair, but had much lighter and coppery hair when I was in my teens and twenties. One of my pals in college had even lighter hair (streaks of blonde and copper), and if you'd cut off a single lock it could appear almost flaxen. Even so, without some other interfearance, I can't imagine the two samples you show here, coming from the same head. At best, you might attribute the difference to how they were stored. I just don't believe they are from Mary Tudor, Dowager Queen of France.

To use the local slang " Hes a bit of a messer ". Totally repulsive, utterly loathesome, and I would have advised any young ladies in his circle to buy a good supply of bargepoles of at least 3 metres length.

Charles dying on 22nd August was an amazing coincidence being the anniversary of Bosworth of his father's death!

I love this channel ! ❤

His reckless marriage to Mary in 1515 would have been suicidal twenty years later!

Henry Cavill did that man A FAVOUR 😂
