Man, from watching this show..I've learned NOT to get ATTACHED to anyone that I like...because 99% of the time, they get executed. Even though I knew that they would all die anyways, but the actors/actresses were likable..especially Thomas Moor, Anne Boelyn, & this one in particular..King Henry was an ASSHOLE! Lol
Sick of seeing evil win because of its cynical manipulation of human nature for cliched personal gain. I'm an athiest who wants to believe, because I have family I care about.
i wish they had at least accomplished the guilotine by henry's reign.. these people could have died with a little less pain. god bless robert, anne, katherine, and all the other innocents he killed.. i am ashamed sometimes of coming from his bloodline
At least with heathenry, you're permitted to die honourably, in battle against your enemies. Executing a man is cowardly and wrong. The gods do not favour such a death. Same goes for suicide.
@Vovk3 This guy's worst crime, if Im correct was to organise a Christian march in a Christian country.
When Judas betrayed Jesus, they all had to run for their lives that night. They banded together after it and became Apostles and suffered for it. They all needed one another.
Fast forward 15 centuries and now the Christans are at one anothers' throats. And this religion was all about compassion? Makes me wonder what the hell it was all about.
Is it just me or is Charles Brandon at every execution, and the only one who he enjoyed watch die was Thomas Cromwell. Perhaps Brandon hated Cromwell because Cromwell gave sent him to the north to kill all those people. While strictly speaking that was Henry, Cromwell manipualted Henry from what I've gathered. Also Brandon could not blame Henry because Henry was the King (and his friend)
this was one of the most heart breaking scenes...he was a good man, and it actually happened. damn..havent hurt this bad since sir thomas moore was executed! cuts like a damn knife! damn that henry viii!!!
In the middle of my village of Mendlesham , on the green, their lies what is called the "Preachers Stone." It is about 4 ft long by 3 ft wide and about 2 ft high. Legend has it that men of faith used the stone to preach the bible in the common language of English to the people that would gather. At that time it was forbidden to read it in any language but Latin. Many martyers were burned alive as a result. Infact our village has a man in flames as part of its Coat of Arms to signify this.
i wonder how a monarch would react to being belittled by today's enhancement in vulgar language. i'm sure being called a cunt wasn't in much use back then
@HorrorMovieCollab If he is accurately portrayed then he went with a true belief that Henry wanted to give the man and his comrades a fair hearing. Again, if portrayed accurately, Henry supplied him with flash clothes, transport and luxuries that were not part of this mans day-to-day existence. He was lulled into a false sense of security just to have it stripped away in a most sick and despicable manner. F.cking royalty. Pigs.
@davh1231 If you enjoy that sort of thing, sure. Real nice. Otherwise, it is just one small example of the sick behaviour humanity is capable of. You do not see any of the other great apes treating their own species in such a despicable manner. Oh, and add insult to injury by having some religious figure follow with words of comfort. Henry was one of the most disturbed and dangerous tyrants in English history. He stopped at nothing to get what he wanted but was sly enough to know when to stop.
@davh1231 ...err.., yeah, as I said, "if you enjoy that sort of thing". Of course you were +being+ sarcastic. It just gave me an opportunity to make a point. Sick stuff though, eh, davh? It's scary what we're capable of, although some people back then, and possibley now, would get off on the entire scenario. (shudder). Cheers.
@davh1231 Has the world improved though, I guess is the question? Have we learned anything from this and are we better people? Do we torture those that have conflicting beliefs, political or religious? Although they're one-and-the-same, IMHO. Not that I'm an expert in the Tudors but I'm curious where history is concerned. BTW, have you ever seen a series about jobs from tudor times, and similar? Tony Robinson (Baldrick re Blackadder series) presents them. Fascinating and disturbing stuff.
A Yorkshireman from near Selby, York but this was the times. This is what happened if you went against Henry's wishes but I don't think he was married . He was single. But a great series. One of the best historical series I have ever seen.
Yes it would. They had a system of measurements that they had to follow to make sure that didn't happen. Weight, drop length, and the knott had to be in just the right place so that the neck was instantly broken, but the head not not torn off. The kings executioner was paid to make sure that didn't happen, unfortunatly there were instances that the proper care was not taken. In every execution you had to tip the executioner for a quicker death, never however a guarantee of one.
@Myles0Harcourt Yes that's very true, it was Thomas Cromwell who ordered that Robert Aske die this way, with Henry VII's permission of course. It may have been or was due to personal interest by Cromwell because the Pilgrimage of Grace was calling for Cromwell to removed from office an brought to justice.
@Myles0Harcourt Although some of these rebels received the HDQ treatment, it was said that Henry VIII wanted the likes of Robert Aske and Robert Constable (seen in the Tudors receiving a red hot poker up his bottom . . . which didn't happen) to suffer more. Might be less gory and seem a 'nicer' death, but apparently Aske was left hanging there for days, starving, going insane, etc. Took him many days to die apparently.
@Myles0Harcourt Both Robert Aske and Robert Constable died in the same way, and it is suggested at least in Aske's case it took days for him to die. Remember this is a historical drama but predominantly an entertainment so it isn't all based on facts. The drop shown here was exaggarated, and it's possible there wasn't even much of a drop at all. 'Hanged in chains' for me conjures up images of just being suspended in chains, and left to die slowly.
Robert Aske is 'Ted Unctious' from a Father Ted Episode! He is a really good actor. I saw him play an Irish gangster overlord in another movie. Evil scum. Great versatility.
3:08-3:43 - Witness Thomas Cromwell at the apex of his power. Unfortunately, for him, it's all downhill from him. (And unfortunate for me, since he's the most compelling character of the series and his departure is a colossal blow.)
Henry V!!! was a serial killer and a sex maniac. He has fornicated not only with womwn, but with his men servats, those who refuesed, he send them out of his world...hr was a serial killer and sex maniac...he was crazy!!!!
ok I let a lot of things slide with Henry ..... but not this. What he did to all these people was sick. They call Mary bloody Mary...hmmm wonder where she learned it from? Her daddy the spoiled , pampered ass he was.
@NGDTHII I believe Elizabeth knew this. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why she never married and never produced an heir. Perhaps she knew the Tudor line needed to end. But who knows what her real intentions were.
Does anyone know much about executions? This kind seems utterly ridiculous as I'm quite sure the head would rip right off, it's really not that strong.
@itkapatanka They beheadings were for the wealthy while the more common folk got hangings. Though the exception was for truly heinous crimes like high treason or heresy the men were hanged,drawn and quartered (this was a gruesome method of execution) and the women were burned at stake. Traitors had their bodies or heads (in some cases) displayed for all to see after the execution.
Aske wrote to Henry and begged not to be subjected to the torture of hanging, drawing and quartering. Henry therefore ordered him to be hung in chains - he was suspended ny the wrists in iron chains above the gates of York where he was effectively crucifed over the next three days.
The way it is portrayed here is far niver than it actually was.
The treatment of this man is in my opionion the biggest crime henry committed. He was a true, honest and loyal subject who had the power to take down the king with his army of pilgrims. He acted so true, trusting the word of a king and in doing so lost his life because of trust and belief in the word of his soverien. Why henry, why did you not forgive such a loyal subject who submitted to you when having the power to overthrow you. A terrible sin. Such men are few and thier greatness known rare.
@avzett well your one big ball of sun shine. evil when people do evil to others for there own gain what ever the gain. religion is just an easy way to claim your in the right for doing it.
@BabeeyAmyy for starting the Pilgrimage of Grace Rebellion. He and other Catholics (and Northerners of England) were angry over their churches being destroyed with the monasteries being supressed as well as having political and economical grievances. Rebelling against the King was what was considered high treason and why he was (and others) executed for it.
@silverdalesapphires Don't blame Anne Boleyn. She was against the wholesale destruction of the monasteries. If she had lived, the Pilgrimage of Grace might never have happened.
@Himaryous The sacking of the monasteries was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Catholics (just as Protestants would have in their place) would have risen up against a Protestant monarchy regardless of what insults were thrown at them. Things would have come to a boil eventually IMHO. And IIRC, Henry VIII still lapsed into Catholicism at times but Anne Boleyn was a fervent Protestant.
@gerardbutlerlurver For starting the Pilgrimage of Grace which Henry considered as a rebellion & treason. Robert Aske was among the leaders who started it. you can find some brief info abt it on Wiki
@CallXenaWarrior I think he started a rebellion because Aske wanted a parliament set up in the North.Henry lied and raised a big army and killed Aske's army. Is that right?
@gerardbutlerlurver He was convicted of high treason in Westminster and was taken back to York, where he was hanged in chains in July 1537 on a special scaffold erected outside Clifford's Tower
started a revolt against henry 8th and his persecution of the monasteries-down south there was a lot of cauise to punish the monasteries because lots were quite corrupt, but up north in yorkshire they were in general well behaved, and an integral part of the social,political and economic life. when they went the whole place suffered
Henry VIII was probably the worst tyrant England ever had. He killed so many good people, impoverished his country and betrayed a good wife, Queen Katherine.
If anyone deserves everlasting hellfire, its Henry VIII.
@Rayarena i dont think he was totally terrible but i can think of many better kings-James VI &I, William III,George III,Victoria,George VI and Elizabeth II
I noticed that even the guards leading him and the executioner had respect for him... usually they wouldn't care if they were rough wih prisoners about to be hanged, but they seem to be going easy on him. Robert Aske was a great guy after all..
Henry VIII used the Dissolution to pay for his wars. The accusations against the monasteries were a simple smokescreen dreamt up by his spin-doctor Cromwell and his mistress Boleyn. The guy was just a medieval Stalin.
NOT accurate at all. Aske had no drop and suffered greatly. I believe he was actually suspended in chains and it could have taken him days to die. There were no good guys in the dissolution of the catholic monasteries. The monks had goaded up all the moneys in English cities and were litterally bankrupting England. 1/6 of Englands wealth was in the Monasteries and monks lived an easy life with servants etc. Something needed to be done. But Henry and Cromwell were brutal and wanted more power.
From an economic viewpoint dissolving the monasteries and a lot of feudal estates under Henry VIII freed "dead" capital, put in the realm of free enterprise and was of not to underestimate importance for England's raise under Elizabeth I and later.
Henry's greed was in some respect very short-signed, but on longer term is most beneficiary for England.
Sometimes selfish and immoral doing has benefits for generations to come. Henry VIII's doings is one example.
how can it take days to die? If theres somthing around your neck and your handing by it, it will either break, or strangle u within 10 minutes usually.
hanging by chains normally meant being hanged in a cage-this clip is mistaken in that he wouldnt have been hanged by the neck but left dangling in a cage, exposed to the elements, with festering wounds and no food
Forgive me, but I was completely ignorant of Robert Aske and the Pilgrimage of Grace. Would someone please explain to me how it happened and why he was executed?
Robert Aske was one of the leaders of the Pilgrimage of Grace. It was a popular uprising against the anti-Catholic and anti-monastic campaign of Henry VIII. The rebellion orginated in the North of England where Catholicism remained strong. The closure of the monasteries was strongly favoured by new class of money men but for the poor it was a disaster. Hospitals, schools, charity and employment were largley provided by the monks. The horrible money-mad system we have now was started by Henry!
Robert Aske was about 37 when he was murdered. I know people aged quicker in those days but he looks about 70 here!
He wasn´t a student .He was a London lawyer of aristocratic birth. He was tricked by Henry, who was no friend of the truth! Henry, that foul Heretic-Dictator regarded himself as a devout Catholic! Have you noticed that all the heretic scum that attacked our Church once believed themself to be better Catholics than the Pope!
@wainscottbl nothing-its a corrupt decadent church staffed by paedophiles and popes more interested in ritual and goald clad churches than true christianity.
@CorieFaulkner which millons would say was necessary to restore christianity after catholicism had so debased it that they supported the idea that you could BUY a ticket into salvation by the selling of indulgances, and the ensconcement of clerics and cardinals and popes in gold clad churches, in defiance of Jesus statement that it was esier for a camel to pass through the eye of needle than for a rich man to enter heaven-tell me what was `true` christianity about that?
Anne Boleyn! LOL! She was long dead when all this happened. It happened because a load of people took up arms against the King, what did they honestly expect him to do?
in 1536 or so, some people started rebeling against henry viii, this guy became like the leader or ruler of them, so henry caught him and executed him
why did he have to die??

@MrPaulmccartney111 Cut off the head and the body dies. King Henry VIII quelled the rebellion with remarkable efficiency, if cruel.

why was he executed?
Snezhinka9 2 years ago
started a revolt against henry 8th and his persecution of the monasteries-down south there was a lot of cauise to punish the monasteries because lots were quite corrupt, but up north in yorkshire they were in general well behaved, and an integral part of the social,political and economic life. when they went the whole place suffered

Henry VIII was probably the worst tyrant England ever had. He killed so many good people, impoverished his country and betrayed a good wife, Queen Katherine.
If anyone deserves everlasting hellfire, its Henry VIII.

I noticed that even the guards leading him and the executioner had respect for him... usually they wouldn't care if they were rough wih prisoners about to be hanged, but they seem to be going easy on him. Robert Aske was a great guy after all..

Henry VIII used the Dissolution to pay for his wars. The accusations against the monasteries were a simple smokescreen dreamt up by his spin-doctor Cromwell and his mistress Boleyn. The guy was just a medieval Stalin.

Some monks did, not all. Some were following their rule and providing vital services to the poor, sick and needy which ended with the dissolution.

NOT accurate at all. Aske had no drop and suffered greatly. I believe he was actually suspended in chains and it could have taken him days to die. There were no good guys in the dissolution of the catholic monasteries. The monks had goaded up all the moneys in English cities and were litterally bankrupting England. 1/6 of Englands wealth was in the Monasteries and monks lived an easy life with servants etc. Something needed to be done. But Henry and Cromwell were brutal and wanted more power.

From an economic viewpoint dissolving the monasteries and a lot of feudal estates under Henry VIII freed "dead" capital, put in the realm of free enterprise and was of not to underestimate importance for England's raise under Elizabeth I and later.
Henry's greed was in some respect very short-signed, but on longer term is most beneficiary for England.
Sometimes selfish and immoral doing has benefits for generations to come. Henry VIII's doings is one example.

how can it take days to die? If theres somthing around your neck and your handing by it, it will either break, or strangle u within 10 minutes usually.

hanging by chains normally meant being hanged in a cage-this clip is mistaken in that he wouldnt have been hanged by the neck but left dangling in a cage, exposed to the elements, with festering wounds and no food
bulked 2 years ago
Correct bulked. There was no noose, he was just left to hang until the elements/thirst/hunger killed him. Much much worse than the noose.

Forgive me, but I was completely ignorant of Robert Aske and the Pilgrimage of Grace. Would someone please explain to me how it happened and why he was executed?
Ereldor 2 years ago 6
Robert Aske was one of the leaders of the Pilgrimage of Grace. It was a popular uprising against the anti-Catholic and anti-monastic campaign of Henry VIII. The rebellion orginated in the North of England where Catholicism remained strong. The closure of the monasteries was strongly favoured by new class of money men but for the poor it was a disaster. Hospitals, schools, charity and employment were largley provided by the monks. The horrible money-mad system we have now was started by Henry!

it was a major rebellion originating in northern England that nearly toppled henry 8th over his anti catholic policies

I am sorry. I am not English but I studied that during the pilgrimage of grace Robert Ask was a student... Here it is an old man...
Long live the Catholic Church!

Robert Aske was about 37 when he was murdered. I know people aged quicker in those days but he looks about 70 here!
He wasn´t a student .He was a London lawyer of aristocratic birth. He was tricked by Henry, who was no friend of the truth! Henry, that foul Heretic-Dictator regarded himself as a devout Catholic! Have you noticed that all the heretic scum that attacked our Church once believed themself to be better Catholics than the Pope!
Just like now!
God bless you

@CorieFaulkner which millons would say was necessary to restore christianity after catholicism had so debased it that they supported the idea that you could BUY a ticket into salvation by the selling of indulgances, and the ensconcement of clerics and cardinals and popes in gold clad churches, in defiance of Jesus statement that it was esier for a camel to pass through the eye of needle than for a rich man to enter heaven-tell me what was `true` christianity about that?

I wasn't taught about him in school but in the last few years realised the scale of uprising of the Pilgrimage of Grace.
I would rather we spent the 500th anniversary of Henry's accession learning more about people like him than celebrating a psychotic despot like Henry.
