  • How Henry VIII looked in Real Life. In this video I show you how Henry 8th might have looked using my technology (After Effects, Photoshop, and Cinema 4D). I spent a good many days creating this as I wanted to use as many portraits of him as I could to give you a strong idea of how his appearance might have looked.
    All of course is just my artistic interpretation and opinion and I hope you enjoy! I also talk you thorough the video to tell you more about Henry and what his deal was.
    Henry started out good looking by the standards of the 1500's and through various injuries, started to decline in physical appearance.

    Henry VIII was born in 1491 just before Christopher Columbus founded America. His father was King Henry VII. Henry was the second son and was never meant to be King. He is famous for splitting the Church of England from the authority of the Pope and having his 6 wives (Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymore, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, and Catherine Parr). He is also the father to Mary, the Bloody Tutor Queen, and Queen Elizabeth I.

      Right?!

Kids will always listen to what you do. he really believed that there was no other possible way to ensure the Tudor reign other than having a boy... and the gag is: If he overruled the church's decision to divorce Catherine and come up with his own case..then dude... why can't you change the rules (again) and make the heir a female..which actually been pretty badass!

      He was handsome, and fit, young still when he was married to Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, and somewhat during his marriage to Jane Seymour. Just he was downhill by the time he married Anne of Cleves. He had a bad temper, and he was cruel in ways before his head injury, just the head injury worsen his temper. Including another injury he later got in life which was leg “ulcers” they believe, that reportedly his leg smelled rotten, and it had pus coming out of the ulcers often. That’s was when he was married to his last 3 wives, otherwise the head injury took place in the last couple months of Henry and Anne Boleyn’s marriage.

      The problem can be either one, BUT as the males and females of our species determine the biological “sex” of the child, it was 100% his fault he didn’t have a son. There is a chance that he did indeed transmit a sex-linked recessive trait that would show only in males. Males get one Y chromosome from dad and one X from mom. Mom has a recessive gene on the branch of the X chromosome that would match up to the “missing” section of the Y chromosome, it would be expressed in the child. When a male emparts an X chromosome, there is more leeway because the mom will also emparer an X chromosome which usually has a “good” version of those genes and the child becomes a carrier of the recessive gene but the child is not affected by it.

      I just got this channel recommended, so the almighty algorithm must have started to pick it up
      It's often like that. Channels creep along with fairly low subscriber numbers for a while (despite consistently good content) and then 'boom', they start growing rapidly, very suddenly. You just gotta tough that early phase out, it's unavoidable.
      I wholeheartedly agree though ...these videos are very well done and do deserve more attention!

    I read an article about Henry XIII. They proposed he might have been Kell positive. This is a blood factor similar to RH positive or negative. Kell positive is extremely rare and in reproduction it acts like an RH positive baby with an RH negative mother. In essence the mother's body would attack the fetus. The article pointed out some of Henry's later physical problems and said these were typical for Kell positive men. Not sure if it's true but it was an intriguing thought.

    He wasn’t over the top obese when he was working on his annulment, divorce to Catherine of Aragon, so those 8 years and then the years of being with Anne Boleyn in marriage, he still was a fit dude, not like his portraits were that are most known, they were painted after his marriage to Jane Seymour. By the time he married Anne of Cleves, Katherine Howard, and later Catherine Parr that was when he was overly obese.

      Probably not a lot. Henry was showing signs of tyranny well before the jousting accident. Thomas More reputedly said that if his head (Thomas’s ) would bring Henry a city in France, Thomas’s head would not fail to go. More said this when he was at the height of being in Henry’s good books.

      Henry was already a cruel man in ways, and had a bad temper. The head injury he suffered in the last months of his marriage to Anne Boleyn didn’t leave brain damage. Just worsen his temper. He wouldn’t of been much different than how we view him nowadays.

    Irony is that Henry VII had a lot of mistresses and many of them produced male children the problem was that all were illegitimate but it seems as though he gave these male heirs some kind of title so in effect, they were taken care of for the rest of their lives. Henry had the unfortunate luck to not be able to produce a LEGITIMATE Male Heir. Henry also had an assorted plethora of STDs. He infected all his sexual partners including his wives and if these wives were frail such as Jane Seymour it isn't difficult to understand why things went sideways most of the time for Henry in the pursuit of a Legitimate Male Heir department. He could have inevitably and unbeknownst to him rendered many of his female sexual partners sterile due to his STDs. As a side note, on his death, Henry burst wide open from syphilis before they could bury him that's sort of speaks volumes doesn't it? Before it was discovered that males had an XY chromosome as opposed to the singular chromosome that females have, all his wives were blamed for the inability to produce a male heir. That problem really lay at the doorstep of Henry himself.
