HENRY VIII AND TUDOR ENGLAND TOUR
Where did all the Tudors Go
In my last episode of the Tudors we looked at Henry VII’s chapel at Westminster Abbey and learned who was buried there—today we’re gonna look at the man who put the Tudors on the map—if he had been like his father we probably would not think much of him and his dynasty would have gone to the Scottish Kings much earlier (maybe?)
To begin with Henry was a spare who became king because of his older brother Arthur died when he was just in his teens and had never set the throne (check last B&P 2 wks ago for all that details)-
1525 Timeline Henry VIII,the Reign
Henry a bit of a dandy who was proficient in jousting and all manners of the art of war and led troops into battle that I remember against the French — and he was also said
play a mean game of tennis.

Oh and he also endevored to out dress and spend the most money on decking out his court members who attended the Field of Gold (don’t forget the horses and tents) as well as the aforemented invasion of France (while his pregnante wife was leading troops to Scotland the Scotts were allies of the French, and she won there–)
THE FIELD OF CLOTH OF GOLD
You heard about Catherine of Argon a couple of episodes ago—she was a princess—her mother and father sent Columbus to the new world and took Spain back from the moors —both of them leading armies against the invaders—so Catherine took after both parents.
After Athur’s death Henry eventually married Catherine who insisted that Arthur had never consumated the marriage (there was a prohition against marry your brother’s wife.
She bore him only one child that lived, a daughter named Mary—we’ll talk about her at another time. But she was 6 years older than Henry, who after several years of marriage became bored with her. And if boredom and no more desire wasn’t enough Henry’s father (the 7th) had instilled in his son the importance of having a male heir (as well as a spare) thru constant reminders of the fact that they had only had that crown for one generation—–it it was on him to continue them on into eternity—or something like that—I wasn’t there so can’t be exactly sure.
Henry had several mistresses over the years including one name who had a son who many have thought was his son…But she was married during this time so who knows and besides we’ll hear more about the Boleyn’s next time.
