How to survive the Tudor era under Henry the VIII? Don’t be a Howard, nor a Boleyn... If you were a women, pray for your name to not be Katherine (Catherine). In general, don’t be anywhere near the king.

Not really he left lots of ancesters alive, even the one who use to shout at Henry and was sleeping with Ann boleyn he even wrote Henry was a mule. Henry also tried to marry my great 9x grandma. She had a bad temper, he had already married two of her cousins, (fair enough they did die) so he married her aunt instead and she out lived him. It was his daughter Mary who was worse to us. Thank goodness for Elizabeth.

Leventry Beria may have come to the same conclusion. (Chief of police/enforcer under Stalin) He too was responsible for needless, unlawful executions and murders of hundreds of thousands, and was also a sexual predator. Just prior to his execution, it was reported he fell on his knees in tears, screaming and begging for his life. Yet, during the times he murdered so many, that never seemed to bother him. I think we sometimes wonder if it was "just" the fear of impending death, but also fear of the possibility he would be condemned to hell after it. We will never know. We assume he was an atheist. But the "clarification" of an immediate execution tends to "clarify" the thoughts of the individual. It is possible he was thinking about this as well. I wish his executioners would have asked him prior to shooting him in the forehead. I would have been interesting to hear his reply. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)

The Howard family's run if bad luck started in 1485 at the Battle of Redmore (Market Bosworth) when John Howard, Duke of Norfolk, was killed early in the Battle. Obviously, the Tudors were bad for the health of the Howards. John Howard, by the way, was the on the side of Richard III.

Henry the VIII was a classic example of why assassination is sometimes a good idea.

Yeah, people did stuff like that. But sometimes they’d postpone the execution, torture the person, cut out their tongue. Only then to execute them in a more painful way. Or worse, punish their family, seize their property titles, lands, etc. So their kids had nothing. If someone did start saying offensive things (offensive to the king or even the church) they would usually get beaten on the spot to stop them before they said too much. Mostly people knew that if they said anything back at their execution, that their family would suffer. So they just shut up, knowing that the king/emperor was a dick, but things could be worse.

The Earl of Surrey always in a hurry.

I have always been a fan of Surrey,especially after reading the wonderful book by Jessie Childs😄Strange thing in this case as in the case of Anne Boleyn:both were proven innocent. Surrey was not guilty inder the indictment because he had a right to present himself with Mowbray ancestory armory. But Henry VIII was paranoid about the succession and Surrey was not beiing careful in the presence of a suspicious sickly king😗

Henry VIII....the king who should never have been. Invented a religion, invented stories of treason, ordered in most beheadings that the axe was to be blunt, guilty of murdering women and became the ugliest reigning king of all time. He became so obese that he had carpenters make a hoist just so he could mount his (poor) horse. Was utterly unhygienic and died a miserable death.....thank God we've moved on. The Queen today is the most beautiful, loyal, respected Head of State ever....major respect.

That wasn't too BRUTAL.

Iambic pentameter, our guide throughout our language. The original language used chiasms . Set u in a pyramid like structure. If A as the beginning, as it stepped up, the B part aligned with the B on the down swing, as did the A at the beginning. A simple catch phrase to make it easier to see would be _ A light upon my path and a lamp upon my feet. Although they say almost the same thing, yet it kinda redescribes the original phrase. The entire scripture is laid out that way.

Very good video, but please don't tone drone. Your natural delivery, when you speak it, is just fine.

The Howard family were staunch Roman Catholic. That didn't sit well with Old Henry.

Evil Henry.

It was all to do with power. He did not want the pope to have control over his subjects and himself.

Google the definition of the word BRUTAL.

The title of this video is "The BRUTAL Execution Of Henry VIII's LAST Victim - Henry Howard." Henry Howard was executed by simple beheading. In what way was his execution any more "BRUTAL" than other executions of the time? This publisher has a penchant for clickbait titles: "The BRUTAL Execution of King Charles I" "The TRAGIC Execution of Sophie Scholl" "The HORRIFIC Execution of Joan of Arc" "The TRAGIC Execution Of Lady Jane Grey" "The HORRIFIC Execution of Anthony Babbington" "The HORRIFIC Execution of Richard Roose" "The BRUTAL Execution of Mary Queen of Scots"

As cruel as Henry was, I don't know of any person that he personally killed with his own hands. Does anyone know someone he killed personally. Let me know please. David from London in the Philippines

I'm not sure you understand the meaning of "brutal", either that or the clickbait is strong.

Please don't call it his last victim Henry's dependences are still doing us over with lies now

How was this execution any more brutal than any other? I watched this video because I wanted BRUTALITY!

While informative, I find your video's to be misleading. Please stop headlining with "Brutal" . To be clear beheading was actually seen as a more compassionate way to deal with people in those times.. hanging was for the commoners and hung, drawn and quartered was a terrible fate for any to endure. But to say the "brutal" execution of someone by beheading, when in actual fact this was viewed as leniency is abit of a stretch.
