    I will tell you how good this video is: I feel so sorry for her, her terrible fear and sorrow. To think she’s been dead for 500+ years and my heart still aches for her, her long-ago suffering. Your video is very good and touched my heart, is what I’m trying to say.❤

      Queen Howard (the teen queen) died a martyr , victim of a sociopath who was angry bc he couldn't get it up anymore and she waited a whole year before her sweet carnal needs turned around to another

      Yours is quite an understatement
      Henry VIII was a sociopath who told everyone he was the representative of God on earth, that's why he'd go in his younger days and spotting one he liked he would give them no choice but to get naked in bed for him even if she was married. Disgusting system he instituted
      Queen Howard was a victim of his craziness bc he couldn't get it hard anymore and she waited a whole year until her own carnal desires gave in for another
      Teen queen was a martyr
      What is also disgusting and hard to imagine the fear she felt mixed up with the belief of him being the representative of God on earth...wish she would have somehow realised he was rather the representative of satan

    Hiya Evelyn, I think if Henry V111 advisors told Henry "the moon was made of cheese", Henry would of believed it, his poor wives didn't stand a chance with him, that's all I have to say on it, this is Paul in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England

      Same, I’d be begging and pleading I think. Though we never truly know what we would do… i believe people of this era were much tougher mentally than we are today, and deeply religious which seemed to help some of the condemned in their final hours. I’m an atheist so I’d be freaking out

    I guess old King Henry VII had never read this passage from the Bible:
    ”The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, ‘Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?’
    When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, ‘Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.’ Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, ‘Woman, where are they? Has no-one condemned you?’ ‘No-one, sir,’ she said. ‘Then neither do I condemn you,’ Jesus declared. ‘Go now and leave your life of sin.’“
    ‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭3‬-‭5‬, ‭7‬-‭11‬ ‭NIVUK‬‬

    What if Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard hadn’t been executed and instead they got an annulment and were sent away and they were both still alive during Mary’s reign what would have happened in your opinion thanks

    • @EvelynEdwards
      @EvelynEdwards  Před 5 měsíci +7

      Catherine Howard living wouldn’t really have changed anything. Anne Boleyn living would have created some pretty big family struggles when Mary became Queen I think. The Boleyns as a family would have rallied behind Elizabeth.

      ​@@EvelynEdwardswouldn't they have - in a probability - crossed paths and swords with the Seymors before that? I mean both families were quite ambitious.
      Providing that we assume that the whole case were dropped and George Boleyn still lived.
      And interesting hypothesis.
