The REAL 'Firebrand' | The Unlucky Protestant Queen | Katherine Parr | Henry VIII's Sixth Wife

Katherine Parr would be Henry VIII's final and sixth wife, and her life was a study in patience. She would be the most married of Henry's consorts, marrying four times, but Katherine was also his most intellectual wife, writing several books and contributing hugely to the education of women. She would also be responsible for repairing the relationship between Henry and his daughters. But she would not find her own romance until she was well into her 30s, as a widow for the third time, and it would not end happily...

    I feel so sad for the little baby Mary. She was just forgotten by history and just disappeared even though she had such noble blood.

    She was luckier than the rest of the wives. On second thought, maybe Anne of Cleves was the luckiest

    imagine falling in love with someone, spending years thinking you and him are star-crossed lovers because of an arranged marriage, finally being able to be with him, only for him to try to groom your stepdaughter behind your back😟although I can say out of all Henry VIII's wives, Katherine Parr might have had an adventurous life which was also fortunately successful and not tragic, but this one detail is really a pesky one, considering it broke her as well, the way she didn't forgot it, even in her deathbed💔💔💔

    I've always been fascinated by her, but I'll always be confused about her part in Elizabeth's relationship with her husband. I know it's been centuries but it just seems so out of character with everything else that's known about her

    I feel like Karherine Parr is generally under appreciated. She was a scholar when women weren’t generally considered capable of being such, and she was savvy. I really enjoy learning about her and I’m really glad you’ve featured her.

    Thank you so much for your work on this production. I hadnt much knowledge of what went on in Henry's marriage to Katherine Parr. Let alone keep their names straight with all the Anns,Katherines,Etc..Just glad this brought the end to the episode of Henry the Eighth and all the people that were wrongly put to death by his plans. Hardly got what he planned for with Edward's passing at 15. Hmm. Sad yes,all around what a terrible soap opera.

    Catherine Parr deserved much better; as well as her daughter, Mary. Who knows what would happen to both of them had they not met their tragic ends so soon in their lifetimes

    She had the worst luck with husbands.

    This was an excellent documentary, but for the comments concerning Elizabeth and Katherine's husband. Elizabeth had no culpability in the matter as she was only a child. Katherine had nothing to "forgive" Elizabeth for and she recognized this in her continuing correspondence with Elizabeth. When Katherine realized what the situation was, she acted to protect Elizabeth in probably the only way she could at the time by sending her away. It is tragic that she and Elizabeth had become so close and that she never saw Elizabeth again. It seems that this is the only mother - daughter relationship that either of them ever had and that Katherine's true legacy may have been in her influence on the future queen of England.

    So well done, as always! Speaking of H VIII's death, I wonder was he diabetic?

    Excellent finale! Goodness, her end was sad 😢, though her business with Elizabeth, along with Thomas Seymour, was a bit fishy! Lady Jane Grey next? 😁

    This was interesting, thanks. Most vids don't say a lot about Katherine's first husbands, so it was good to hear something about them, especially the first husband.

    I liked learning about Anne Boleyn and Catherine Parr. The more I read or learned about them, the more I'm convinced they would've been fast friends and Anne probably would've admired Catherine. Except the parts when Catherine allowed what happened with Thomas Seymour and Elizabeth though. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Anne wouldn't have liked that at all !!

    Hi, awesome live history video. I enjoyed it. How are you doing? I'm doing well and so is my cat Benjamin. In the next video in the future could you do a video on Robert Dudley. He was a historical man in 16th century England . Have a great day see you next video 😊
