Out of all his wives, Anne of Cleve got the best deal when Henry divorced her: 1.) He gave her an estate and an allowance so she doesn't have to go home in shame 2.) she was allowed to attend celebrations and parties and visit him and his children 3.) Was practically made his honorary "sister" if not his ex-wife 4.) Got to keep her head 5.) And she outlived all of his other five wives

Apparently according to a comment on the SIX Musical, Anne of Cleves wasn't actually ugly and Henry actually found her attractive: they said that Henry wanted to surprise her by dressing as a lowly servant but when he approached her she dismissed him not knowing he was her future husband. Because of this humiliation, Henry sought out to divorce her. Anne actually lived longer than than Catherine Parr and was German.

Anne of Cleves actually made out quite well on her brief marriage to Henry, as with the example of his first two wives she easily agreed to the divorce, and thus retained his favor, with Henry calling her "our beloved sister" afterwards. She actually ended up living longer than Catherine Parr, and even attended Mary's coronation, and probably would have been at Elizabeth's if she'd lived to see it.

Interesting facts I learned whilst studying the Tudors in school was that Anne of Cleves, after the divorce, became the wealthiest woman in England because Henry felt bad for Anne and thus allowed her to keep all of her jewelry and royal possessions from being Queen in order to furnish Richmond Palace and Bletchingly Manor to which she was given by Henry after the divorce. All of this on top of a large annual income from the crown, even later being given Hever Castle, the former home of Anne Boleyn. Finally she gained the status of The Kings "Sister". Definitely had it best when compared to his other wives. Great video and keep up the amazing content!

After Jane Seymour died, Henry's entourage did have a hard time finding a new wife for him. By then, every noblewoman in Europe had already heard of how badly the other wives had been treated and wanted nothing to do with it. Christina of Milan was even reported to have said something along the lines of "if I had two heads, one would be at the king's disposal!". Speaking of Anne of Cleves, there's a lot to say about her and all the misconceptions about her. A channel called Reading The Past has made a video about it and I highly recommend it.

Seeing that crown made me remember my friend in school who wore a Burger King crown everyday for maybe at least a month. He's a senior too.

_"Was it the War of the Roses that Game of Thrones was inspired by?"_ Yes. Though there were various influences in Martin's work from British history, and history more generally, the tie ins to the WOTR are undeniable. _"Except the Enlightenment hasn't happened yet."_ The Renaissance: *Am I a joke to you?* _"What's the age difference when Henry and Catherine of Aragon got married?"_ She was six years his elder. I like how the Pope was being described as "under the thumb" of Charles and not "under siege" by Charles as his army sacked Rome in 1527 and forced the Pope into literal hiding, so he couldn't have helped Henry even if he wanted to at the time, lol. _"Why couldn't the Pope annul Henry's marriage like all the others?"_ Annulments were only offered if there was no proof of the consummation of the marriage, or if the Pope was feeling very generous. But since he wasn't and Henry had a daughter by Catherine, they had very obviously consummated their marriage making it legitimate and meaning there was no legal ground for a divorce whatsoever. _"You gotta wonder where his theological beliefs were at during this time."_ Henry was a committed Catholic until the day he did. He never gave up one belief from his childhood to death, save the supremacy of the Papacy and perhaps the position of Bishops. But he was committed to the theology of the Catholic Church until the day he died, and regarded protestants who did not believe in Transubstantiation just as bad as Catholics who refused to accept him as their spiritual head.

With Aragon, though one kingdom in Spain, Catherine was a princess of a technical Spain (but it had not been unified and named Spain yet, that would happen during Catherine's nephew, Charles the Emperor's reign.) Spain was dynastically unified through Catherine's parents. Her father, Ferdinand, was King of Aragon, Valencia, Majorca and Barcelona whilst her mother, Isabella, was Queen of Castile and León. All these kingdoms in Spain make up the modern borders of Spain (with the exception of Navarre which is later annexed too). Age difference between Henry and Catherine of Aragon was 6 years.

Anne wasn't only a protestant, she's usually credited with introducing Henry to the Protestant theology he used to set up his own church. and the reason she hated Wolsey is because Wolsey broke up her engagement her first love(possibly at Henry's instigation). never mind the fact that Wolsey didn't help his case with his ultra lavish lifetstyle that was even more swanky than Henry's. there's also some fairly strong evidence that the reason Anne held out against Henry wasn't because of ambition, but because she was not attracted to him and did everything she could up to and including running away from Court back to her family home to discourage his interest. it's only when Henry began talking marriage, that she saw the opportunity to spread the reforemed religion from his side, that she came around to the idea of a relationship with him.

One of my favourite things about Terry is he is not afraid to say "I don't know".

I'm jealous of his students. I had a teacher like him in 8th grade, and I have him again in my senior year of high-school. I cannot stress enough how important teachers like him are. My teacher shaped my future and taught me how to be a better person. Teachers like this are rare.

I hope you continue the great work, contributing and adding more knowledge here in the internet.

I love how they used Greensleeves as background music. It was supposedly written by Henry VIII. It's kind of mind blowing considering how long ago this was and that the song is still fairly popular today.

I think that Catherine D'Argon only miscarried so much because she went into various wars pregnant. They even made her a maternity armor. She was truly a badass woman who doesn't get talked about enough.

Catherine of Aragon was 6 years older than Henry.

First I’m blessed with a new OverSimplified and now I’m blessed with the reaction video from you about it already. Life is good 👍

Thanks for this series man, always nice to have another person's perspective.

Every time Mr Terry History uploads, an angel gets his wings and then he meets a pretty girl. Its not always going anywhere but they have a good time.

“Failing upwards”

Great stuff man! I actually found you in recommend videos because I watch over simplified lol love this content!!

I believe that this simple format of such KZread videos is the best way to teach history. It allows for teaching the history of the entire human culture at a surface level while wetting ones appetite to go more into depth on the parts that they are most interested at

Intro: Shows history is full of war Me: Remembers a time when people used to worship a bucket ...

I didn’t know you liked arsenal. Do you watch a lot of soccer, or do you just have the shirt.

Ew Arsenal

Seeing you sitting there wearing a cardboard crown, quoting Rick Astley, completely surrounded by video game memorabilia... I can tell you're a cool teacher, man. Rock on, Mr. Terry.

The quality of your videos continues to go up, and thank god the oversimplified video volume is loud enough to hear without raising your voice to airplane takeoff levels. Keep it up!

This is the coolest social studies teacher can we just agree on that

Yes, War of the Roses was the big inspiration for Game of Thrones

As a fellow lover of history I found this synopsis of the reign of Henry VIII very good. My late mother encouraged me to love history, she was a very well read amateur historian specialising in the Middle Ages and had read Chaucer in the original! It’s great to hear that the teaching of history is still alive and well, if we don’t learn history we will keep making the same mistakes! From my knowledge of the reign of Henry VIII although this was a simplified history it covered most of the important events and issues that influenced those events very well. I love your channel and watch regularly. Best wishes from the UK

hey, love the videos, love learning more and huge respect for the arsenal shirt!

9:00 - Now i'm not sure if there was a biblical misunderstanding from Oversimplified or if that's what his source was implying about how people interpreted that verse at the time, but that verse is taken out of context. What Leviticus 20:21 says about not marrying or sleeping with the wife of one's brother applies to the living addressing adultery. That verse says WIFE, NOT widow and therefore NOT for the dead. That's why there's another verse in Deuteronomy 25:5 which seems to contradict the earlier verse, but actually makes sense because if the eldest brother dies without producing an heir, it's up to the next brother to keep the family name going. It also has more to do with keeping property and ownership of land during the times of ancient Israel and surely medieval Europe as well.

I apologize if this HUGE comment sounds like i'm making a fuss. What i'm really trying to get to is that with this information in mind, doesn't that verse actually ruin Henry's case for divorce? - 21:30

Actually, it's all in the interpretation and translation at the time. The Leviticus stated in 18:16 "You mustn't have relations with the wife of your brother" while 20:21 stated that doing so will lead to childlessness. It's possible that Deuteronomy wasn't available in England at the time to counterargue this, but basically, Henry's claim was because he has taken a woman who was married to his brother and therefore must have slept with his brother, God refused to give them a male heir. Cathrine's counterargument was that Arthur died before they can consummate their marriage, therefore she is still technically a virgin and therefore does not bear the taint of Arthur.

Yeah ok, I’m kind of new to this channel, but I absolutely love the moment when you put on the crown. Subscribed for the meme!

This channel is so wholesome! History teachers are awesome

The 7 people who disliked, couldn't give Henry a male heir.

@Jose Flores Henry was English, Britain didn't exist yet. And History is literally his job. It's rare to find Americans who are fans of British teams. I think I'd have the same amount of trouble finding an NFL fan in the UK, lol.

@@Longshanks1690 I was actually shocked when he mentionned in one of his Oversimplified reaction videos (I think it was 'bout the football wars) that he's a soccer fan. It's rare to find a soccer fan in the U.S outside of some large cities where soccer is popular (the most notable being Seattle, Denver, and NYC)

King Edward "Longshanks" I, Hammer of the Scots, Lord of Wales and King of England a lot of american soccer fans have foreign teams because a lot americans dont really have a (relatively) local team to support. even in the lower divisions, many cities and towns don’t have teams and a lot of the ones that we do have are less than 25 years old so the older fans already had a team to support
