I wish they had made the actress who plays Katherine of Aragon turn to look at Henry with a hurt face when the narrator says "declared their marriage invalid"

But thank you for uploading.

@NYCBlonde Who says, that's the question. Did anyone here see she was upset over Mary's execution? Just remember history is NOT the fact always. It's recorded by people some biased some not but the winner got the prestige. Anne screwed her chance but her daughter didn't. I always felt she was LUCKY too. Mary was wronged there' someone down there has explained it well. If any of those dictator in history won I'm sure the history would be praising them now too!

@NYCBlonde Stop getting your history from movies. Elizabeth did, in fact, burn people at the stake her victims were just fewer than her sister's. John Wielmacker (also known as Jan Pieterss) and Hendrick Ter Woort, were burned at the stake for heresy at Smithfield on July 22nd, 1575. Some time between 1595 and 1597 (the date is cut off in the source), Isabel Cockie was condemned as a witch and burned at the stake. For context Elizabeth I reigned from 1558 until 1603.

@lamenzies Public school during Starky's time was good, not like today which are overflowing with ghetto blacks, third world immigrants and other people who have their own agendas. So there is a difference between now and then.

@gaiuskaiser Er--what?! Uh, NO. Mary is a complicated character & does not deserve to be written off as JUST Bloody Mary, but the fact remains that she had 300+ people burned at the stake for their religion, horrifying & alienating her own people. Elizabeth did NOTHING of the sort. I have no idea where you're getting this "Ooooh, Elizabeth was just as bad" but you're wrong. She burned no one at the stake & even her most notorious execution (her cousin Mary), she agonized over.

@lamenzies I meant public schools in the United States not the UK.

@princessivoryrose By public school, do you mean state education, because public school in England means fee-paying. And for that matter, be careful about insulting those who were educated in the state syste, as was David Starkey, I believe.
