I find it amazing that even his illegitimate children had red hair. Strong genes. Great video.

Illegitimate just means they were born out of wedlock.. how would this effect his genes or how his genes show in them?

@@maereid1223 Red hair is a recessive gene. It makes sense that many children would be redheads if they were all with the same wolman. But on the contrary, he has a child with different ones. So I'm assuming this gene was pretty common at the time and place, even so the chance is only about 25%, it's amazing.

I think the mother's of the children were also redheads or even auburn. So the chance increases. Well some of them. I know since I have red hair and my mother has black. I take the side of my dad so Irish, English and Dutch ancestors

That was a good one. I never knew what happened to Fitzroy. It seems illegitimacy was the way to go in court. You're not really a threat to the crown yet you still have privileges. Your research really complements the great graphics.

Does anyone else notice that Henry's children with women from prominent families made it into Elizabeth's court? That's an excellent way to keep an eye on one's potential enemies. Which then makes me wonder was that Elizabeth or her advisors who came up with such a plan. I do love me some history! Thanks for compiling this. Made me think this morning.

Among the royal houses of Europe, almost all royal mistresses were married noblewomen, and the legitimate children from the man's legal marriage were most closely attended by the illigitimate half-siblings born from the mistress(es). The upcoming young noble was then surrounded by siblings who would be bound by blood and their families getting more wealth and power, but yet those same siblings could never be any threat to the legitimate heirs. This was continued even into the American Old South, where children of the wealthy were often assigned a servant/companion who was in fact their own half-sibling. That old cliche of the southern belle followed by her "faithful maid for life" was usually in fact, two sisters of the same father.

But only one the kids in this video are in fact 100% Henry's child.

All those children and such a struggle to get a legitimate heir! Odd!

Richard Edwards was the spitting image of Henry VIII before he started to go to pot. Also, he apparently inherited Henry's talent for music. And Edward VI looked very much like his mother, Jane Seymour.

Lady Catherine Carey Knollys is my GREAAAAAAAAT grandmother. They are pretty sure she is Henry’s based on research, Plus her husband Was away at the time. But either way Catherine was the right hand women to Elizabeth the first which I find super cool!

I think God was sending Henry a little message. "You suck. Your line stops here."

Thank you so much for uploading as much as you do, I love talking about the facts I learn on here in real life.

The comedian Josh Widdecombe was talking about being descended from Henry eighth on Adam Hills last leg. He also has red hair.

Thank you for posting this. Catherine Carey is my 12th greatgrandmother. It was wonderful to see her brought to "life". I enjoy your videos so much, and am a new subscriber so that I can watch them all.

It is strange to think that Henry could have actually had a number of sons - since having a son was his obsession. Of course he needed a legitimate one. I have no doubt that had Edward lived he would have been 'Bloody Edward'. Catholics would have been persecuted and executed under his reign. On his death, all the contenders for the throne were female. He made his cousin Jane Grey his successor but Mary raised an army and deposed her. Jane was later executed.

@@susangavaghan Mary was not a cruel woman. We can tell that by how hard she tried to save Jane Grey and did not execute her sister. People forget that yes, she was Henry's daughter, but she was also Catherine of Aragons daughter. I believe Mary did learn and have a lot of her mothers qualities. But we need to insert Mary's husband into the picture. Before she married Philip, she was not burning Protestants. She was actually not going to do anything. Edward would have been worse than his dad and sisters combined and then some. The boy was a psychopath.

I didn't know that Henry was community property. He's right up there with Nick Cannon 🤣

This one is very iteresting. To see what people looked like in the past.

I love your channel as your work is fascinating! The Houses of Plantagenet, Tudor and Stuart are my favorites. .I've been studying Julius Caesar and Caesar Augustus and was hoping you would do videos on them as well. It's so interesting to see historical figures come to life. Thank you for sharing and God Bless. Again, I can't get enough of your channel. 🤩😍

What a difference it would have made; if all of those illegitimate children who survived, were born through Catherine of Aragon.

Thanx for the great "family tree read"! Wish you'd been around for all my junior/senior high school history yrs. I would have scored straight 'A'ces

Great video on how they looked like in real life. Hope to see more soon 😀

Ethelreda Malte's daughter with John Harington was named Hester. Hester married William Stubbes, with who she had four children. Hester died in 1639

very cool to see! thank you

Excellent

If he married Mary when she was young he would of had an heir!

Incredible research 😮❤

Henry should have adopted his eldest illegitimate son as his heir.

I think if the guy put on the pounds or a convincing fat suit, the guy who played the Mountain in Game of Thrones would be a perfect Henry VIII for a tv show or film. or the actor who played Robert Baratheon.

Could I make suggestion, if I know of lesser known potraits of royals(which are actually fabulous)? It'd be great if it was an option.

It was quite common in those days for other Royal family members to snuff one another out over who got to inherit the throne. I find it funny that all of Catherine and Anne's sons all died and yet Jane's survived in spite of her own death after giving birth. Almost all Royals in those days were related by blood, Henry and Catherine of Aragon were cousins, (which explains Mary's insanity). Though there is no evidence that Henry and Anne were related he was related to Jane Seymour... she was also a cousin via her Mother Maragret Wentworth which explains Edwards insanity as well. Incest created some crazy monarchs'. Elizabeth I was the only legitimate child Henry fathered that wasn't nuts. Many of his Bastard's were also related by blood with the exception of Mary Boleyn and 2 others. They kept it all in the family in those days.

My wife is directly related to Ethelreda Malte, she married John Harrington..

I love your videos! Have you ever done Our Lady of Guadalupe?

are we not gonna talk about the fact that mary boleyn's kid look exactly like pewdewpie

Only IF the portraits are actually of the real children.

Seems like Henry should have married the other Boleyn girls lol
