Oh my god. When Matt runs off and then Henry and Cromwell just look at eachother like "What are we meant to do?" before they run off in different directions. This is comedy genius.
I love when he says "These are all incredibely valuable religious texts which any good catholic would want, so Ill be destroying all those" like its so obvious and ordinary

If they voluntarily surrendered, declaring allegiance to the crown over the pope, they'd have got pensions; if they resisted, they'd have been imprisoned and executed. As an aside, that's by far the best* Thomas Cromwell impersonation I have ever seen. *Only.
are you really all that surprised? christianity never had a centralisation-of-authority origin, it was a moving-around trying to create change in policy movement right from the start. PARALLEL to government & authority, let-alone one country or city trying to claim authority over all others. typical of the arrogance of rome
HH is obviously trying to soften the topic a bit with humor for the kids, but I'm glad they are addressing the horrible atrocities Henry VIII committed against the wonderful old Abbey's, Churches, Convents, and Monastaries of the British Isles.
Oh my goodness, how awful, selling fake fragments of the cross? Vials of ‘Jesus blood’ you got from a duck?? Using religion in this way this is terrible!! I must confiscate all this money at once. Yes. How terrible. I must... take all of this away.

Oh, I was mistreated in my childhood as well, as well as different other parts of my life, but does this mean I should bring on the death and misery of other people? Let's hope I never do... :(((((((
Does anyone know what happened to the monks in all those abbeys afterwards? Where did they go, how did they survive? Must have been to the dogs for them afterwards.
juuust like those they claimed to be helping . It's helping them to REMAIN pious! Hermits vs. Flagellants , which don't have an integrity problem for starters?

you're both wrong, it's 'too'. think of it as there is one 'o' as well as the other, and most of the time when you use the word 'too' it is in the place of 'as well'. Something my mum taught me. It really helps in school.

@@silviasanchez648 Sell them to Catholic countries so its not a conflict of interest.
As funny as this skit it, it really annoys me that this actually happened. So many beautiful medieval buildings destroyed :(
sounds like the salvage of them is a lot better than many. how many times are they just torched?
@@vurrath7716 maybe, but can personally attest to a hell of a lot going on my neck of the woods after doing a project of religious houses on east anglia
The Catholic Church was pretty corrupt.
Indulgences, taking land from people, etc
No kidding. Thanks to them Hyde Abbey was smashed and Alfred the Great’s burial place became unknown.
Those wars in France weren't cheap
“So, I’ll be destroying all those” 😂

"bring on the frenchies, i say" i lost it at that.
Yes. Oliver's a direct descendant of Richard Cromwell (who changed his name from Williams), Thomas's nephew.
Did Ollie turn against kings because Henry VIII beheaded Thomas for the 4th wife thing?
Carl Birtles i would assume not because it was quite a while after and it seemed to be entirely religion based, but theres really no way to tell
I love how Cromwell steals that book, With EXTREME condescension... and prejudice of course.
"These books are unique religious texts that any Catholic would love to have on their shelf, so, I'll be destroying those" OMG!!!! :(

Some of the funds were set aside for new cathedrals and secular schools.
As simple as that eh? have you watched their "Cash my sin" skit? is that the kind of thing they-were / we're supposed to RESPECT?

They do forget to mention that the monks weren't left with nothing, Henry did give them pensions if they willingly complied.
Don’t kill the humours vibe bro.
`These monks are rolling in it!` LOL

Lol oversimplified 😂
Rowan Aboat--You really ought to read the play, Luther, by John Osborne.
Oversimplified ha funny.
Glad to see comments so recent in a 8 year old video.
Not that I am complaining.

This has definitely my favourite Henry VIII actor he so handsome and his voice 😍😍😍😍🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
That's Ben Willbond for you 🥰
you have no idea how much this helped me for my history assignment thanks so much again horrible histories, you save me!
Henry really did execute the monks at Canterbury Cathedral and he put Bequet's bones in a cannon and exploded them.
OR, troops did and it was assumed to've been on-his-orders?
Not gonna lie, that's pretty metal.
did u notice at the end when the monk 'piggy bank' was broken? LOL
I'm using this for my History GCSE learning
at 0:23 I always jump back and laugh when I realise that Henry VIII is staring at me like that... It scares me every time!
Has anyone else just had this recommended after the Henry VIII oversimplified video?
Everything Mat does is cute :3 *w*
Mat is just... too cute
I'm getting Troy and Abed energy from King Henry and Thomas Cromwell.
Henry and Cromwell In the morning
The funny thing is that Cromwell's report wasn't lies, it was just grossly exaggerated.
I don't care what anyone else says- Ben Willabond is the best Henry VIII
Excellent love Horrible Histories forever 💙
Me and you both my friend me and you both
mats hair has so much volume!

Watching this with a nice breeze from my window and a fan on with a rootbeer, Bring on the frenchies I say
I like that in one part of the clip there are 2 Mat.

POV: your history teacher sent you here
-sorry-
How can you not like this
'so hopefully they'll make us a bob or two too too '
Lol Henry viii is hilarious in this show
Did anyone else laugh when henry viii ran in the other direction?
Love the song, does anyone know what it’s called?
ITs a version of Cash in the Attic
Let's rummage!
bring on the frenchies i say
Seriously? I was only joking lol. That's pretty cool :D
Good thing the money could goto help the people instead of the rich popes and cardinals.
Um it wastes on a stupid and unnecessary war which Henry lost so no

I gather much of my materials in the same way. I love spolia.
I love democracy.
Then go to that cave and stay there while you think about what you've done.
they should have sold the books two
thx i could not spell yesterday
3:07
how does that have anything to do with the video?
*to*
Does one knows how many monks per abbey?
A dozen (12)

This is English English not American English
Lol u prob graduated
Henry was a greedy creep and only closed the monestaries
Thomas Cromwell.... Any relation to Oliver Cromwell?? :o
No whatch da show den U will get it
Thomas Cromwell : Protestant
Oliver Cromwell : grumpy pants Puritan
@@samgazchaz Well, anyone can turn into a grumpy pants Puritan if they're parents put enough effort and no fun into it.
Yes.
Terrible 😣
Actually, it's not 'two' OR 'to' it's 'too'!!!!
Big deal our king Gustaf did the same thing only earlier.
I really can't fault Henry on this one.
Eh. Men of God shouldn't be rich anyway 😜
