@Hattaru But in this time, it was common.

Had Ol' Henry lived in modern times, he'd have made the Jerry Springer show, he would've been booed by all and deserved it........

oh wow her red dressing gown (or bathrobe?) is so beautiful! I want one like that! ;)
-
oh and using wikipedia as a reference? LOL use google...there are many other resources that are more accurate and factual

LMAO at some of the comments on here...lol It's pretty clear people don't understand or know much about history. Yet feel they are an authority to speak about it basd on a made for TV show that is not factual at all except about the basics. MAJOR EXAMPLE. Henry had 2 sisters not one...they used the history of one but called her the wrong name..MAJOR slap in the face. As for Anne of Cleves he basically adopted her as a sister. As to Pope's having mistresses lmao off again. Celibacy was introduced

It was pretty common to take mistresses during the time period. It was not just started by Henry, but was practiced by the monarchs before him. Many take pleasure in commenting on the Tudor time period, because it's one of the most famous dynasties. It's kind of like a society. EVERYDAY he probably broke a commandment. Monarchs thought they had every right to, because they were in charge. It's just the way things were.

Each time I see anything about Henry VIII, I shudder and become grateful I am a woman living in the 21st century. When you're a woman, you KNOW the truth about men's hypocrisy, regardless of whatever lofty religion or scientific logic they claim to ascribe to -- because as a woman, you are always the first victim of their hypocrisy. Imagine how in-your-face that hypocrisy was during Henry VIII's time. Bah.

@Hattaru It was just the way things were back then. I'm not saying it's right, but it's how things were.

@TheNuharoo She had every right too.
That is such a lie what her father just said, "it is natural to take a misstress, while the wife is not unable to lie with him" what the hell, is he smoking or even reading, I am pretty sure that in the bible it says somthing about, "Though shall not committ Adultry"? and that is what her stupid Husband the king is doing, so if they are going by the law of the bible, Henry should have died a long time ago.

What annoys me in this time is; When a Queen cheated - it was treason. But the king slept around all the time - it was nothing.
-That is the only thing I hate about this time. Or there is much more things that I hate - but this is the thing I hated the most.
