i really pity catherine howard. she had the worst out of all of them. she was a only child who only loved to dance. her youth was robbed from her.
Poder Vida we are talking abt her childhood
She was also described to love singing aswell, and liked and was kind to animals, specifically dogs.
@Poder Vida I don't know enough about Catherine Howard particularly, but in general, noble women were often coerced into marrying whomever their fathers told them.
@Poder Vida I'm a history teacher.
@Poder Vida Since I don't understand the relevance of that to this conversation, I see no need to answer.
The actress played her beautifully. The final moments when she looked up to the sky and accepted her fate.

Ingrid Dubbel not her fault she was anywhere from 13 to 16 when she died. She didn’t know better really, Henry was a pervert and nearly 50
@@Stupidtacocatstuffgrr she was born in 1523 and died 1542 so she was 18 or 19, she also was accused of having an affair with a courtier, which given the Howard family were known schemers ( the leading men in the family.) HENRY was king and had done this exact shit beforehand, most of these people sent their daughters to their deaths basically.
Did she really died?
By the third wife, I’d kind of get a sense that him asking you to marry him is kind of a death sentence
Bailey Logan someone wrote if i had two heads id marry henry
@@villarozie Funny you should say that, because after the death of Jane Seymour, one of the prospective brides Henry was considering was Christina of Milan. Asked if she would consider marrying Henry, she replied "If I had two heads, I might consent to wed his gracious majesty, but having but one, I dare not."
Another lady that was asked to mary him after Anne B death she said

I can't believe there are people on here actually defending Henry the VIII.
PickUpTheDarnBook, IKR like wtf
Henry did nothing wrong
hardi prakarti, bitch he’s was a big ass pervert for going after a girl who was way younger than her, she was forced, then he beheaded her for doing what a teen would do, she wanted to be with a handsome young man not a rotten ass bitch, then he beheaded her wtf, poor girl, your an idiot for taking Henry’s side
FandomGoddess and he wanted a male heir, so he married three women until he got it, but when she died he continued with his women, getting rid of them for no reason. I kinda see why he got rid of Aragon and Boleyn, cause Aragon “didn’t give him a son”, but it wasn’t her fault, she tried. and then Boleyn did nothing wrong, but he just wanted to get rid of her because she didn’t give him a son either, yet again, it wasn’t her fault. she tried as well
he moved on after jane gave him what he wanted, but didn’t need
then he got rid of cleves because she “wasn’t pretty enough”
Cora Kowal, yea he really was a monster
Elizabeth never got over losing Katherine. She loved her like a sister. She apparently never forgave her father for having her beheaded. It really devasted Elizabeth. Like the final blow after losing her mother ..😢
Blueberry River Katherine Was she not Elizabeth's aunt? Because she was Anne Boleyn's cousin
@@sekaiza7108 was her cousin
Elizabeth and Katherine were cousins I believe
@@sekaiza7108 no she would have to be Annes sister to be her Aunt. But they were cousins, which makes Elizabeth her second cousin.
No doubt these deaths played a large part in why she chose to remain unmarried.
Isn't it ironic that Henry VIII had so many wives in his quest for a healthy male heir, and yet he produced one of the most famous and powerful QUEENS of the world : Elizabeth I !

when they got married Catherine was 16-18years old and Henry was 49 ...like OMG
Wait what-
He was also ugly and smelled bad
Truth be told, this was normal back then. I think it was because women died faster than men, or something. Im most likely wrong, but that bit of information was stuck in my head as i watched this.
KuroXshiro you are partially correct-women often died in childbirth but if they survived their childbearing years then they would outlive the men because the men were more likely to be killed in war or hunting accidents or in job related accidents
Death from illness & infection seemed to affect both sexes equally
catherine was 17
For everybody blaming her please take it in to account that women in those times had little choice over their matrimonial choices...
They were pawned off for political and monitory gains.
Vesper Vesper and Catherine did get sexually abused as a child
The only love she knew of was lust
Indeed but she had a choice in asking Dereham to come back to her service which was very risky given that they had slept together before and been pre contracted to marriage. And she meddled with Culpeper - again, she didn’t have to do that.
She was naive and foolish.
Lala lalala Just imagine your parents keep pushing you into these events, now take into contacts back in the day. Woman back in the day had no rights and some of them were Uneducated
Also she was 19

Catherine was executed on a cold February day, not a warm day as depicted here. And she was executed before Lady Rochford, not after. Class standards ruled that a Queen would never be required to lay her head on an already bloody block. (Not being facetious).
atlantic1119 Yes, but it does add to the emotional scene. It creates even more shock and sympathy, which is probably why they did it
TeenMomTo baby.J It’s a historical tv show, Katherine Howard was one of Henry’s 6 wives :)
TeenMomTo baby.J hey don’t worry about it! I’m a total nerd for English history! Henry the eighth was the second Tudor king of England. He was most known for divorcing his wife in favor of another which was like, blasphemy in his days. When the pope wouldn’t let him, he declared himself as head of the church which made him favor the Protestant faith over the catholic one, the difference being that in the Protestant faith, believers feel that they do not have to confess their sins to anyone but God himself, whereas Catholics talked to God through the pope. He was also known for having six wives in total, and being the father of the greatest Tudor Monarch, Queen Elizabeth, the virgin queen!
They were all real people in history
Catherine Howard was a victim she had been abused I hope her spirit is at peace
To all those people who says they were “Born in the wrong era” ... we have it the best so far
Say that to Quarantine.
@Kakumei I'd personally take Quarantine over being forced to marry a man twice or three times my age and having no rights as a woman.
Mostly women . The poor where treated bad raised taxes too much

Lillian Beamon both women bravely Bt understandably tearfully accepted their fate...it was so tragic; both women have been executed at a young age.
I think I read that Anne actually never cried once, whereas the closer to death Katherine got, the more hysterical she became.
ANUSHREE GHOSH did I ask
ANUSHREE GHOSH I am well aware of their age differences. Their age has nothing to do with me telling the commenter that Anne was calm and relaxed and Katherine was not.
ANUSHREE GHOSH Lol sorry for being rude I’m just very passionate about my Katherine and Anne
I can't believe this was ever ok. King Henry the 8th was a monster. He may have started out with promise, especially after his father. But he became a tyrant. What is so sick about the whole thing is he was the king. He was the adult in this situation. Like he became a tantrum throwing child with the ability to chop of heads.
Esther Moon that’s 1600s human standards, hard to debate this type of behaviour in retrospect, just happy society (most of them) went far away from such practices
Marc-andré Deslauriers Well, I think Henry the 8th was considered a tyrant even then. His father, Henry the 7th, was as far as I am aware a far more capable, stable and less bloody ruler. So while I agree that times and morals have changed, Henry’s bloodlust and instability was considered abnormal even then. He probably suffered brain damage from a fall of his horse, which changed his personality for the worse.
Heliosfromacrossastar fair enough, I meant more to the fact that nobody really did anything because royalty could get away with a lot of crap back then.
Tbh Most Of the history is about queens more than Henry
@@heliosfromacrossastar878 if I remember from the history shows I watched quite a few they all said that in that fall he also injured his leg which never healed properly so had caused him pain and he had a possible head injury also I can't give any one source but I watched plenty of shows on Netflix CZcams history class in school the history channel on TV and due to the similarities also assume that these where the possible causes and his paranoia was made worse because of his advisers he was also not raised to be king he was the 2nd son his older brother died from an accident of some kind as an adult Henry was also as adult so he had little training I can't guarantee my knowledge on that though I believe he did love Anne boleyn though if what heard is right she made him work for it she didn't sleep with him until he made the law that put her child before Mary because even if they where married her child would be seen as a bastard by some

He ruined each one of those six girl’s lives maybe except from Anne of cleaves who kinda benefited getting divorced from henry
Anne of Cleves was a clever German frau! With a very powerful brother that King Henry couldn't afford to cross
@@rolandrothwell4840 Facts
Divorce was harder to come by back then....beheading them was the easy part...
Anne of Cleves ĺived a happy long life. But at first, Henry believed she would conspire with the Princes in Germany 🇩🇪 to make war upon him. She was questioned by members of his Council until 5am hours and hours of cross examination. She didn't flinch and very calmly replied that she was innocent. Eventually, they came away with nothing, but Duke William (her brother) was not convinced she would be safe living under Henry's rule. Anne was clever and compliant. She was given a huge settlement of castles. She was very close friends with Mary Tudor and befriended the xhold Princess Elizabeth. She never married again!
@@rolandrothwell4840 AoC actually died at age 42, not that long of a life.

@@joevignolor4u949 she was a child bride and was left with no choice. If the king wanted someone he'd have them no matter what.
@@vanillachocolate8250 I don't know the exact history of how Catherine Howard ended up in Henry's court. It may have had something to do with her being pushed in that direction by her father who wanted a connection into the royal family. And if you believe how it was portrayed in the TV series "The Tudors" Catherine would appear to have been very enamored with being in that environment of wealth and power and was not at all hesitant about being there.
When the axe was coming for her head it accidentally hit her back and they had to pull it out and it was painful as heck. She also couldn’t even walk down the stairs cuz she was shaking so much she was carried down.
Do you have any sources on the axe being lodged in her back rather than her neck? I don't remember hearing about that.
The story about the axe missing her neck is not true. There is nothing in any of the contemporary accounts of Catherine Howard’s execution to suggest that the blade hit her back or otherwise failed to sever her head in one blow, even if she was not dispatched by the more merciful sword in the same way as her cousin Anne Boleyn. Merchant Ottwell Johnson, who was an eyewitness, documented in detail that Catherine made the ‘most godly and Christian end’ - implying heavily that she died as swiftly and as painlessly as possible given the circumstances. If the axe had hit Catherine’s back, Johnson and other chroniclers would have noted this down clearly, as accounts of executions which we do know were botched are pretty explicit in detailing the failure to decapitate the victim in one clean blow.
I have made this same comment to multiple people already, because I’m not sure where exactly this information is coming from. Either it comes from the assumption that because Catherine was not beheaded by a skilled swordsman she suffered multiple swings of the axe before she was killed, or some confusion between her execution and that of Mary Queen of Scots’ - Mary’s death certainly took two or three attempts and a bit of sawing to carry out, as is made very clear in reports of it from the time. Whatever is the case, I (so far) have not been able to find any reliable source to back up this claim - @Hannah Ryan, hopefully this has answered your question.
As for the claim about Catherine needing help to climb up the scaffold (or losing her composure at her execution), this does have more of a basis in history. I’m fairly sure that this comes from French ambassador Charles de Marillac, who recorded that ‘the Queen [Catherine] was so weak that she could hardly speak, but confessed in few words that she had merited a hundred deaths for so offending the King who had so graciously treated her’. However, this needs to be taken with a small pinch of salt, because Marillac was not actually present at the execution. Referring back to Johnson’s eyewitness account (which I am not going to paste here because it is quite long), he explains that Catherine made a dignified speech about her ‘worthy and just punishment’, and was able to make a good last impression on the crowd, hence why he goes to say that her soul ‘be with God’. The final image of Catherine I get here is that, despite a few initial nerves (though maybe not quite to the extent of needing help to climb the scaffold and certainly not sobbing), she was able to die with a huge amount of courage and maturity, and as I have just debunked, in one clean swing of the axe.
I apologise if I come off as condescending and a bit over the top in my explanation - as someone who cares about this period of history deeply, I feel the compulsive need to clear up some of the frequent misconceptions which I have seen floating around the comments section lately. I urge you to do your own reading about the topic; Catherine’s life is absolutely fascinating.

*All you wanna do, baby..*
No but seriously why am I crying over someone who died hundreds of years ago
She was the 10 amongst those 3s
Don’t worry I do the same thing
Anyone else excited for 13 February
K. Howard protection squad where y’all at? 🙌🏻
Only 18 years of life how sad :( R.I.P Catherine Howard 1524-1542
“If I am to meet Death this day, I will look her in the eye. As I, in this, my final hour, look you all in the eye. My final request... is the simplest of all: Just... Remember me. Remember who I was.”
If that were me in her position, that’s hands down what I would have said. Accept my death with grace and without fear.
Poor Catherine Howard. She was used, abused and discarded. She deserved better.
Thank you for representing me in the way I should have 🥺 I wish all this didn’t happen to me.. I wanted to play with Edward, get closer to my step-daughters, or maybe have children of my own someday..
this is so wholesome djsjsj
This wasn't too accurate because she was actually shaking so much when she about to get executed. Still, she acted amazingly & it fits the scenario anyways. I feel so bad for Catherine tbh, she didn't deserve this..
She was only a child. She didn't deserved his cruelty
the music is touchingly sad though gloriously beautiful. The acting is top notch here...No words are needed. Thank you for this upload and edit
There are several things about her life that are just so tragic to me. For instance, she was just a child. She had her entire youth taken away from her-- sexually abused as a preteen, manipulated as a teenager, then married to the king for a year when she was only around 18 years old before being murdered for her premarital relationships/rumored relationships with a courtier. And yet, even though she was a queen, we know so little about her life. Hell, we only have one confirmed picture of her. One. This poor little girl.
Poor Catherine Howard she didn’t deserve to lose her head
Beautifully acted by the young lady, such a tragic scene.
"Life is very beatiful" 😔
I feel bed for her...
She was only 19...
If only she hadn’t married Henry
That_Random_ Girl she didn’t have much of a choice, none of the 6 wives really did :(
Yeah they were all forced into marrying him without much of a choice it was either marry him or die I whatever way he pleased
This was the saddest execution. She was so young and naive.
The greatest insult to Henry VIII was Elizabeth II ascending the throne and choosing not to marry and produce an heir, effectively ending Henry's direct line. It's like a big FU to her father
How can people just publicly watch an execution? That's kinda cold blooded. Like a reptile.
Poor Catherine .. She married Henry when she was like only 16-18 I think, Henry was 49
AND she got beheaded for loving someone her own age? That’s really messed up!
These days Henry would have gone to prison for doing that. Having sex with an underage girl.
@@joevignolor4u949 not necessarily. A lot of countries allow marriages between minors and adoults. Even modern Western countries. Most of the time the minors are required to consent (which they can be pressured into) and that the parents allow it. Then there's nothing standing between a modern Henry and Cathrine. You often have that in extremely religious regions/families. In the US, some european countries, many asian countries, south america, africa, I'm not sure about Australia because I haven't heard of such a case from there but those people always find a loophole.
All the wives of his had different fates but hers was the worst.
Imagine being catherine in that moment,knowing your going to die and theres nothing you can do 💔 She was so young and precious and loved to dance 🥺 She was forced to marry Henry VIII and she just wanted a handsome young man 😭
Her last words were life is very beautiful.
She was a child. This world has always been dark.
@Sadie Mezzo 17 is still a minor
We think 👑 those days were the fairytales life shown in movies ...ufff when it come back to real history none of these people had any happy life.
True
Lala lalala She was talking about the happy stories shown in movies
@Lala lalala those fairy tales weren't written by the Grimm Brothers they just collected them from various countries and translated them to german, those stories are much older then what you think
Still being done in third world countries
The movie didn't even had happy stuff
I feel so bad for her. She was a child who was manipulated by men and died as a result of it.
Imagine being a pretty girl in that time of history, Ladies watch out
Woman were treated as property in those days ...and woman were easily gotten rid of ....it was sad.....glad i didn't live in those days
The people who are defending Henry VIII were his courtiers who plotted against all his queens in their past lives
I have become emotionally hardened watching this series, but I actually cried in this episode. All because a troublesome person of her past turned her life and the lives of other 2 people her Hand maiden and boyfriend into a nightmare. At least the guy who got her killed suffered horribly being cut into pieces alive.
she was a naive, flighty girl. Killing her was the most senseless, stupid, ego serving thing Henry ever did.
I applaud the man enacting the tower constable. I do not know of the historical accuracy, but in this film, his genuine sympathy for and courtesy toward Katherine is very evident, and his facial expressions are poignant.
The night before she died she was actually running through the halls screaming her innocence
Fact: when they told her she was going to get beheaded, the guards had to take everything that she could kill herself with, away from her, since she got so chocked and..terrified
Also the guards had to help her up the stairs since she almost fainted, she was so horrified and pale
An interesting fact about Henry was that when he was younger he was handsome, athletic and well liked as a happy person. He then had two documented incidents of head trauma, the last, from a jousting accident, rendering him unconscious for over an hour and also hurt his leg so that it was never the same. There are theories involving his head trauma because it was only after these incidents that his personality began to undergo changes, he became angry and fractal. His leg prevented him from his previous athleticism and he became fat. They can’t prove anything, of course, but personality changes are well documented in correlation with the type of head trauma/concussions he suffered.
the old pervert did not have to kill her.
husbands kill wives all the time and remember we were talking about the 1500s
He would've divorced her like his first wife, but for the time that he spilt off from the church, he felt it wouldn't look good to divorce again so soon. Killing her was the 'better option' sadly.
She probably thought that she was being freed from a horrible world at the time as there wouldn't have been much happiness in her live.
Tony Chavez He couldn't divorce her 'cuz she committed adultery and cheated on the king was considered high treason
Execution was the common punishment for an adulterous queen, it had nothing to do with Henry really. She played with fire in an era where one queen had already been executed for the very crimes she, allegedly, committed.
imagine sitting knowing you were going to die tommorow, to know your life was going to shatter because of a cold-hearted man....what a awful feeling. You question life, ask so much questions, thinking about the past, and how you regretted marrying such man.
Aragon - unloved
Boleyn - Accused
Seymour - Died
Cleves - Rejected
Howard - Molested
Parr - Survived
His 6 wifes represent...

But just for u tonight, we're divorced, beheaded
LIVE
Welcome to the show, to the historemix
Switching up the flow as we add the prefix
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives
Raising up the roof till we hit the ceiling
Get ready for the truth that we'll be revealing
Everybody knows that we used to be six wives
But now we're
Ex-Wives
Yesssssssssssss
I think the survived was supposed to be last
@@pleasesupporteverglow5923 yep
you need to flip them its divorced beheaded died divorced beheaded survived
I can't imagine the horror of knowing your impending death is in a few days or hours. To top it all off, the manner of execution is beheading! You don't know if you will die instantly on the first swing. You don't know if it will hurt. If you are like Catherine Howard, you are young and will never get the chance to grow old. The only saving grace is avoiding the pain of burning at the steak.
i really do weep for her. she was so young at the time of her death and faced so much scrutiny for not knowing how to rule. growing up, men viewed her as a sexual object, and it seemed as if thomas culpeper was the only one who loved her for who she was.
Thomas Culpepper tried to pin the blame on Catherine for their affair to save his ass.
Elizabeth said she would never forgive her father for what he did as Catherine ran through out the halls screaming and pleading for her life and to see the king and Elizabeth will never forget her scream
Yall forgetting the guy that she supposedly slept with got beheaded too
No we haven't - there is an earlier scene where Kathryn is rowed past both Thomas Culpepper's and Francis Dereham's heads on spikes as she arrives to be imprisoned in the Tower, and becomes hysterical. We remember it - it was pretty hard to forget.
Thomas rapped her.. also, this video is about her. So we are focusing on HER
"All you wanna do, All you wanna do baby"
Six the musical intensifies 🔥🔥
In “ all you wanna do” in six the musical the way that K Howard sings...it’s soooo sad...she literally starts to cry
It’s really not fair. I know she cheated on her husband, but she was abused and she was forced to marriage.
most of the women henry went for were stuck between a rock and a hard place. even IF catherine howard knew better than to get with someone who was known for being vile who replaced wives quickly, how does one reject a king without consequence back when it was truly a man's world?
Imagine being forced into a marriage and then trying to be with the person you love and getting executed for it
