The hilarious part of Henry Tudor telling Elizabeth of York "You'll do" is that the two actually fell in love with each other, to the point that Henry VII was extremely reluctant to remarry after she died, finally agreeing to so late that he himself died before he actually could.

One of the saddest quotes from Wikipedia: "The news of Arthur's death caused Henry VII to break down in grief, as much in fear for his dynasty as in mourning for his son. Elizabeth comforted him, telling him that he was the only child of his mother but had survived to become king, that God had left him with a son and two daughters, and that they were both young enough to have more children. When she returned to her own chambers, however, Elizabeth herself broke down with grief. Her attendants sent for Henry who, in turn, comforted her."

Henry VII is extremely underrated. He was easily one of England's best kings.

Brilliant commentary. Top shelf sarcasm. All-around informative. "There is a pattern emerging here"😂😂😂😂. Great stuff man!🔥

A point that should have been emphasized in the video - Henry VIII's eagerness for a male heir and his subsequent actions (break with the Pope, establishing the Church of England, his subsequent marriages) might make slightly more sense if it is borne in mind that the Tudor dynasty was on precarious footing. There were a number of other English noble houses who also laid claim to the English throne; they saw the Tudors as upstarts who got lucky in overthrowing the Plantagenet dynasty. Henry strongly felt he needed a son - daughters would not do - to secure his lineage. One wonders what course the history of England and the English Reformation would have taken if Catherine of Aragon had born him a healthy son.

Finally british history videos yay!!!!!!

I know Henry VII wasn't the main character in this chapter of British history, but I have heard that he was one of the first English rulers to have what can be referred as an industrial policy! Apparently he made efforts to import massive amounts of wool, process it in England and export it at profit (including poaching skilled weavers from Flanders, one reason why there are many English people with the surname Fleming). Textiles exports have historically been the first rung in the ladder of industrial upgrading for many developmental states, including the USA, the UK, China, South Korea, Japan and more recently Ethiopia! This can be seen as a very early precursor to the textiles industry which was important for the UK during the industrial revolution (although its success also depended on colonising India and intentionally and violently destroying its own textiles industry)

Judging from my other lectures on the subject, it would have been an absolute *nightmare* living under Henry VIII. He was every bit a narcissist, and even if you scrambled to do everything he wanted, if he ultimately didn't get what he wanted, he blamed you and had you murdered. Wives, ministers, anyone uncomfortable with having their religion changed on them on a whim, everyone's life was forfeit. Henry VII had been a tough ruler but as the last video said, he normally fined rather than murdered and often showed mercy; he was a far more level-headed and pragmatic king.

Thank you for pointing out that Henry VIII asked for an annulment, not a divorce.

A complex period in British history in 10 mins! 😮

Could these videos be any better than they already are? No is the correct answer.

Yay, another video! But the timings are awful as I just did my GCSE mocks today on Henry VIII and his advisers.

Interesting fact: While the book of Leviticus does prohibit a man getting with his brother's wife while his bro is alive, it goes on to say that a man must take his brother's widow as his own, and name their first son for the dead bro, so that his name not be lost to Israel. Henry's argument for the annulment is a blatant misreading of Leviticus.

Not sure why you made Catharine of Aragon's hair peeking out her hood dark brown/black, when she was reddish blonde or auburn. I know most audiences associate a Spanish princess with swarthy skin and dark hair, but that just wasn't the case with her.

The King of Scotland actually died only six days after his daughter was born so technically speaking Henry wasn't fighting the King of Scotland very long, but this is a great video, as always.

Henry VIII wants a son, gets confused during the process and ends up creating his own religion.

Brilliant
