The Tudors - Henry the Murderer

[RichardIII1955]

Portrays Henry really well...

[WJustinMiller]

The only people who belong on those blocks are monarchs.

[ZZZANNAMARIYZZZ]

Amazing video and music

[Floberovpapagaj]

Why did Lord Buckingham had to lay down and put his head on the block and all the others just had to kneel?

[VanilleFF]

at 2:40 what are his putting on the guy's eye

[Hardrada88]

Firstly I will say most over used song on youtube *yawn* secondly I will say this video and the use of said song completely and entirely blows every other video out the water! Superb! I hereby award you the Youtube peoples choice award 2011 :p thanks for the upload.

[Tudortime]

LOVE THIS!!! WONDERFUL !!! Make more! IT FLOWED TOGETHER & TOLD THIS STORY W/GREAT EMOTION!

[lisaannejane2]

I wish you would do a sequel to this one.

[lizontopoftheworld]

this is so brilliantly done!

may i ask what program u use?

[lizontopoftheworld]

@physcoloz omg yeah! nice spotting, some executions looked really real in this show (i.e derehams), others well... i guess they didnt even bother haha!

[physcoloz]

There is no head on the block 3:14 :L

[BlakReign79]

I'm sorry I just found this. EXCELLENT JOB!!!!! I loved how everything flowed together!

[TRUnderworld09]

Thomas more omg :(

[EXTRAnIme]

great video! although the music is used in far too many video's

still waiting for season 2 of The Tudors here in Holland!

[vicksparrow]

OMG THE MOST BEAUTIFULL VIDEO AND... AT THE SAME TIME... SO SAD .. I EVER SAW ABOUT THE TUDORS, POOR ANNE AND THE OTHERS >.< Her revenge was givin a Girl Better then Jane's son, ELIZABETH I. Well Done Well Done

[veshiesses]

henry was a murderer.

[musicalprodigy7]

I love the Tudors <3 <3

[Strefanash]

I flatly refuse to watch that historical fantasy. Henry was grossly miscast, as he was too complicated to be captured by many actors.

his anger was more menacing, he was more intellligent, than this actor could portray.

I am not denying the Kings mass murders, some 80,000 all told, but this series was so grossly inaccurate (eg Mary Tudor, his sister, marrying the king of france) that i will not watch any other seasons

[malicant123]

@Strefanash

The series "the Tudors" is not history. It's sex and ostentatious drama designed to entertain people, not to educate them. I watched it once and though I'm not in the least uptight about these things, I found the sex scene in it to be needlessly graphic.

Also, you're correct about his bodily ailments. I recently saw that fantastic documentary about his body and I was actually shocked at the level of his suffering.

[naomilaboo]

Well that was his pass time

[LipAhZ]

ola



[sexkittenliz]

it really is a fab video well done x

[untitledJ363]

Fantastic video :-).. Connect video with this music...amazing idea, great! and I have small request.. can you send me this version of this song to mail? I have found it, but not this version.. thanks a lot ( untitledJ363@seznam.cz )

[veshiesses]

henry was a child, who got whatever he wanted , when he couldn't win he blame everyone around him. he made a beatutiful game, but when you're in you were lost.

anne was lost. and not only her.

[malicant123]

Henry did not kill people for fun. Before he was injured in the jousting accident he was supposed to have been very fond of company and had plenty of friends. He was even known to have joined his servants for card games from time to time.

Henry had plenty of faults, probably more than he had boons but to label him a despot and tyrant simply isn't fair. He was a complicated man from a very different time and thus, he can not really be judged by the standards of today.

[Strefanash]

@malicant123

no, but he called himself a christian and i will discern him by christian standards. he was gifted, deep, subtle and complex, but became corrupted by indulgence and power, and maddened by pain. osteomyelitis, a bone disease causing that horrible ulcer he had, gotten from that fall from a horse

[malicant123]

@Strefanash

That's true. I saw that documentary recently "inside the body of Henry VIII" and I felt genuinely sorry for him. The state of his body when he died was appalling. Suffering as he did, it is understandable that he was very crotchety in his later years.

[59bari]

Ma altro che grande re, questo era solo un assassino. E poi vuoi mettere la belezza id Anna Bolena con quella brutos di Jane Seymour. E poi l'erede più grande è stata Elizabeth!!!

[59bari]

Ma altro che grande re, questo era solo un assassino. E poi vuoi mettere la belezza id Anna Bolena con quella brutos di Jane Seymour. E poi l'erede più grande è stata Elizabeth!!!

[MsElena28]

OMG!you deserve an oscar!the video is excellent.the combination of the scenes and the music is perfect!

[lc0702]

Thank you for the lovely comment! :)

[aniajast]

Awesome video!

So many people-friends he killed!Horrible:(

Poor Anne,More,Smeaton,Buckingham and many more...R.I.P

[NicolaWriter]

King Henry was one sneaky dude. He pretended affection and all the while was plotting against a person. That is beyond cold thinking. Then when the ish went down,he shifted the blame to preserve his popularity. Much likeQueen Elizabeth would do with the execution of Queen Mary years later.

[evaperonfan]

I agree. Elizabeth was worse than Hitler.

[ilostmymarbles99]

Anne did not shag her brother or those other guys. I am a big history geek and based on the docements I have found and the statments of schoolers that bealive that those charges were false. All denined them I am pretty sure but if one did confess it was probaly false becuase they were tortured to get the infomation out of them. Anne had strong political views and the people did not like that one bit. Only an informed strong minded woman must be no other than a which (sarcasm)

[misteeq64]

Even if he was illigitimate why could Henry Fitzroy be heir to te throne ?

[DaniMajor]

Because he was iligiatimate. A bastard son could not be King. It was the law I think

[ImperialGuard9001]

Fucking Monster may he burn in Hell

[deloufu]

If you ask me Hell is too damn good for him.

[littlepea20]

I liked that.

[THEYUFFIE]

what song is this?

[LeN0Re18]

@THEYUFFIE requiem for a dream..... mozart

[angelus0695]

The reason Anne was executed was because Henry was a spoilt and easily led king. The country was ran by whoever had his ear at the time. First by Wolsey and then by Thomas Cromwell. Cromwell wanted Anne out of the way because she disagreed with the appropriation of the money from the dissolution of the monasterys. Plus she was a brother shagging whore (alledgedly) lol

[Cissy2cute]

This series has done a great injustice to historical accuracy.

I mostly agree with lollipopfop except for Catherine of Aragon--I believe she did indeed love Henry; remember her last words to him as she was dying: "....mine eyes desire you above all things." Her popularity outside London was great. Henry himself feared that if she wished, she could raise an army in England and have a good chance against him.

lolli is correct about Anne-she was popular in London and in learned circles.

[Cissy2cute]

Re: Anne: the older view was that her family came from middle class. In truth, they had quite a bit of aristocratic blood. No one springing from common origins would have been sent to the French Court.

Henry was questioning his marriage even before Anne. She was not the reason for his break from Rome.

Most of the negative stories about Anne come from Chapuys, the Emperor's ambassador who hated Anne and supported Katherine. His writings are almost wholly inaccurate and false. (propaganda)

[ProfessorSSJ]

@Cissy2cute True, but in most cases the only written records of what was going on during that time is from his letters. Yes they are biased, but one can discern the truth in their somewhere. And Chapuys is hilarious!

And yes, this video is brilliant!

[BoundlessFreedom]

Brilliant. And so sad. I miss Thomas Moore and and Anne Boleyn. ;(

[AdsumIma]

Requiem For a Tower. Would recognize this song ANYWHERE.

[Mellytastic]

great vid !what's the music?

[charismaticace]

I feel like Anne is portrayed as too much of a victim. In saying this I by no means mean she was not a victim at all...however, she wasn't the "he-only-killed-me-because-I-d­idn't-give-him-a-son" martyr she's portrayed as. Fact of the matter was it was about 30% not giving Henry VIII a son and about 70% being a grade A, first class BITCH who played Henry like a finely tuned fiddle.

[britndjustinfan1012]

a bitch how was she a bitch she was in love and henry was a jerk he wanted a son and he didnt want anyone else to have her so he cut off her head

[charismaticace]

You can be in love with someone and still be manipulative. Anne Boleyn was of a very low birth...in fact at one time she was not deemed worthy to marry a baron - one of the lower ranking members of the peerage. Henry gave her everything, yet with her "all or nothing personality" everything wasn't enough. S

[lollipopfop]

She was certainly not of low birth. Maybe not as high as catherine. Actually if you read Catherine was not well liked(she wasn't thin or brunette either). Anne was better liked at court and better educated. The reason Percy's family did not want him to marry Anne was Henry's interest in her.

[guardianangel10]

Honastly what are you going to do when the King of England decides to fall for you? Option A: become a mistress, get rejected after a while and lead a life known as a great slut (not a flattering option) Option B: Try to keep him going for as long as possible (its just in this case she reached too far, but what would you do once you got used to the lap of luxary? And she probs did love him.)

[lollipopfop]

No one blamed women who were mistresses to the king. No one thought they were sluts. It was often encouraged by the families.

[InnateNobility]

I AGREE!

[lollipopfop]

How? By refusing to have sex with a married man? Henry did not free England from Rome just for her. He would not have stayed in a loveless marriage to Catherine. I don't understand why people feel bad for Catherine that well. She wasn't killed. Just what? Not given enough servants? Boo hoo. She did not love Henry. She loved being queen. She never objected to his mistresses. The reason Henry killed Anne is because she would not allow him to cheat on her like Catherine did, as she loved him.

[DaniMajor]

You talk as if the reason Henry dismissed KOA and married Anne was out of love. For the love of God, if he wanted love he d´go for a mistress. Henry married Anne because he was convinced she could give him a son. Why is that Henry always said that Jane Seymour was his true love? Because she was the one that gave him a male child.

Other than that, he was a stalin of Modern Era.

[misteeq64]

@DaniMajor

Stalin of the modern era lol yes well said

[NicolaWriter]

No,she had her child taken from her and her reputation sullied. I don't understand Anne Fans who seem to think Queen K should have just put up and shut up. She was fighting for her self-respect and the rights of Princess Mary. If your husband was dumping you,basically saying you were a whore and unfit to be his wife,AND denying your child,would you have just laid down?

Queens were supposed to be quiet and look the other way. That's how it was back then.

[NicolaWriter]

Then to add insult to injury,paraded his mistress in your face? There is not a woman alive today who wouldn't raise holy hell.

[Akiyane]

:D I'm an avid Anne-Fan, but I really do like your point! I really do feel bad for Katherine, and she was in the right for fighting for herself and her daughter.

[irmscoy]

what a great video, the combination of the song with the images was awesome!!

who was the monk or priest that was beheaded???

[lisaannejane2]

John Fisher, Bishop of Rochester. He also would not sign the oath regarding making the king the head of the church instead of the pope, along with Thomas More.

[kikush1218]

could u write the name of this song ??? thank u :D:D

[amy140592]

this video is so good!

music = v powerful

well done!

[scooterviii]

has anyone else noticed that at 3:16 the executioner is chopping at a block with nobody on it, o well, the tudors is too great of a show to be pulled down by a small goof

[scooterviii]

3:15 my bad!

[Rendorseg88]

jajajaja it's true

[parisad]

wonderful. The best video of "The Tudors" I've ever seen. May you make something similar about the third season? :)

[lisaannejane2]

please, make a season 3 video !

[royalcutie88]

OMG this vid is great!

[izzyanddennyfan]

i do miss Natalie Dormer this season!

[marchmaddness2010]

The  Boleyns got there revenge in a way though through Mary and Elizabeth was the best king or queen in England's history . can you imagine that the boleyn's have a relative on the throne now in Queen elizabeth II and they are related to many US presidents from Washington to Bush.

[izzyanddennyfan]

oh cromwell gets cropped at the neck this season---its quite sad!

[stokrotka1011]

WOW! amazing video!

love it!

[andra510]

Beautiful video! I really like it! And the song fits so well all the vids! They're perfectly timed!

Defintely 5 stars & favorite

[cipajdaDc]

do you know that song? what is it?

[ROCKBRINGITON]

Requiem for a dream - quite famous

[sige92]

i saw this all movie on HBO

[antoniotvfan]

this song is just perfect for the Tudors... I've seen like 5 fanvids with this song (without including mine)...

And yeah, well, for a fanvid, the idea is good, but as a critic, I've got to say it was not only Henry VIII, many circumstances were around him, and he was a circumstance for a complex story that finished on executions... I beleive Henry was a man that was controlled by many... and aswell, the idea of human value was just starting so then making murder was something "normal"

[antoniotvfan]

and great vid! congrats! 5 stars!

[GeneLovesClassic1980]

You hit the nail on the head!!! Murdering innocent men like Thomas Moore is unforgivable...

[100percentbabeLOL]

So true !!!!!!

[Lucyeenka]

Why he killed Thomas? But it was his friend, or just about to play :-(

[morganka]

Political reasons - Thomas didn't want to acknowledge Henry as the Head of the church, he was loyal to Pope..

[WATERCAKOLONE]

i have never seen that serie but i think it's very nice i have to buy it

! but damn! how many murderers!

[hazelstears]

you totally need to add cromwell and kitty howard to this when they met their end

[2words4yaa]

Er wollte sie ja, schon allein aus dem Grund, dass sie ihm keinen Sohn schenken konnte loswerden. Ihr Pech war dass die Bediensteten viele Männer bei ihr ein und ausgehen sahen. Umarmungen und Küsse...traurig, sie war ihm aber nie untreu!

[NVAirport]

and it was his wife that told him to do it

[cleogurl12]

It's a shame that all the characters who have been killed off or exiled were played by the standout actors who helped disguise the show's many weak points. Neil, Northam, Dormer, Delaney and Dunning were the strongest actors on the show. Luckily Frain will still be on the show for a while, because Cavill and Rhys Meyers are gutter actors and are more suited to modeling shoots.

[vanessita351]

well if she knew about all that

why didn't she just escape ?

[Shallidie]

you make it sound easy, to escape anne would have had to be willing to endanger many innocent friends not to mention her own daughter, she was a loving mother she would never do that

[xokelsiox]

And for another reason, she was locked in the london tower under guards watch. How could she escape?

[Shallidie]

I don't think its karma, Henry the VIII execduted tons of innocent people this shows provides a popular oppinion of characters like Anne Boleyn despite huge historical inaccuraccy's relating to their character motivation and temperment.

I felt this justly exposes Henry as the heartless murderer he was.

[softballmary]

lol this show always reminds you that karma does exist. when someone ruins another character, they almost always get their's :-P

[TheMrsVartan]

Thank God he get rid of Cromwell after Anne of Cleves.

[KellyGreen5555]

Henry was such a vicious corrupt little pig...small & petty in every way...Jonathan Rhys Myers gives him the look of a fey 70's porno star...blech.

[Inesminina]

One of the best videos I've ever seen of this amazing show :)

You did a fantastic job! All the images are awesome!

But at the same time, the video is sad, scary, and specially shocking...

Good song choosen

Five stars

[lc0702]

Thank you very much :)

[astrea79]

And there's going to be yet even more blood in season 3...

[PRICEJAMES]

Season 3 eh? The Anne Empire Strikes Back!

[geminipr1989sikh]

Poor Anne had to witness the execution of her own brother! :( Thats such a horrible punishment! Poor thing!

[Tudorsfan123]

no shes didnt have to witness it .. shes wanted to see it because she loved her brother so much .. she had to climb on a chair to see the execution and she weeped and weeped .. i felt so sorry for Anne when i heard her crying:(

[geminipr1989sikh]

Ohhh! Your right...my bad. But i do get what you mean...i felt so bad for her too! R.I.P Anne!

[geminipr1989sikh]

This video is very chilling! But wonderfully edited! I cried for Anne, Fisher and Thomas! Actually all of them...none of them deserved it! :'( May they all rest in peace! xXx

[quiet4me]

Sorry if im being silly here but y did he order that man 2 b killed???

[InnateNobility]

One of the most horrific, intensifying videos I have ever seen. Another Tudor masterpiece!

[lc0702]

wow thanks! :-)

[Loz278]

hey, what's the song to this?

[sherrilina]

And good job btw, the music does sure match! Isn't this "lux aterna?"

[sherrilina]

Lol, I wouldn't say the rest of those people besides his wives and More and perhaps Cromwell were "nearest and dearest" to him, but lol at "favorite pastime"--kind of true!

And yeah, I do look forward to when Cromwell gets the chop! :p I bet next season will end with that, juxtaposed with Henry's wedding to Catherine Howard--since they do love their juxtaposing shots in dramatic scenes on this show! ;)

[valepandora]

no estoy segura, pero parece que es de la pelicula "requiem for a dream"

buen vid!, las imagenes de vdd son impactantes

[03HAFER]

what is the music??? xx

[lc0702]

It's called Requiem For A Dream

[Gavb77ed]

Yes Henry VIII did KiLL Thomas Cromwell 1540, so dont worry Thomas Cromwell gits his in the end just a year or so after Ann=)

[englishsocrates]

Yes, four years after her execution. And he died after third stroke of the executioners axe (and I am really sorry for it, everybody should die quick and painless death). The executioner was about 16 years old.

[kingvampyre]

King Henry could have just had Cromwell hanged, drawn and quartered. He commuted the sentence, but he was so pissed off with Cromwell that he deliberately asked for a novice executioner to be used, who would make a mess of the job. Cromwell didn't know until he was face to face with the executioner at Tyburn. You've got to hand it to Henry. Later in life, he really got vindictiveness down to a fine art.

[englishsocrates]

Yes, he became more and more vindictive. He destroyed his own conscience on July, 6th, 1535 and since then for him didnt make any difference whom he killed and how.

[archeapeiron]

Henry once wanted to be famous through the wars. He is famous, but through the murders of his best friend (Thomas More), his first wife (if not personally or through execution, Katharine of Aragon), his second and fifth wife (Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard), his minister allways willing to do dirty job for him (Thomas Cromwell) etcetera.

[XRachelORushX]

oops wait wait what i just wrote was a lapse in thought

that wasnt cromewell but moore

oops a daisy

i always get those 2 confused for some dam reason

[XRachelORushX]

he did kill cromwell the man being done away with fome 1:48 to 1:56 is him

[Gavb77ed]

HENRY VIII is indeed in HELL, long live the Murderer.

[edoboleyn]

Great work on this video! Everyone loves to demonize someone in this story--Anne Boleyn, Wolsey, Catherine of Aragon, Cromwell (well, I like him), but for all their faults, it was Henry behind it all!

[Flygal39]

I can't wait to order this season when it comes out on DVD! This video is great.

[DarkLadyAthena1]

I cried so much for Thomas

and then Anne

Henry is crazy psycopath scum, you are so right brutal truth!!!

He killed Thomas and in killing him he killed like a father figure and HIS ONLY TRUE AND LOYAL FRIEND!!!

Killing anne he killed his Passion and heart!!!

Now he has nothing!!! but emptyness and his selfish arrogance pride, him!!

[archeapeiron]

I exactly think the same as you. Mainly, what you wrote about Thomas.

[lyricsgrl7]

i loved it, awesome video to an awesome song, it kills me every time i see those clips of george, the other men, and anne on the scaffold, they were all innocent!

but video was very well done ;-) nice job!

[sonlover11]

that was really good 5/5

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

Excellent editing. Better to have a title to suit Henry VIII's personality: Murdering Psycho Scum!

[lc0702]

Lol, well said!

[ABoleynFan1505]

Wow. That was so mving and dramatic!
