  • @TheOrangeGrandMaster but elton does put forward some interesting interpretations and i enjoy his writing style, he's a proper old school! Starkey is accessible, that's very true, and perhaps i mis-represented myself, i'm no true marxist historian but i do follow some of their achedemic ideals, perhaps economic historian with class underlines is most appropriate.

  • @TheOrangeGrandMaster well, personally i'm not a big starkey fan. i feel his style isn't achedemic and is rather deliberatly polemic. i much prefer elton, or guy. personally, i'm a marxist historian and on the basis of long term evidence i feel that financial matters were the reason that most people accepted the break. the european break with rome allowed for more despotic rulers, but more localised power!

  • @TheOrangeGrandMaster ah, we have a starkey scholar here! the establishment of the primacy of the monarchy as a rule in europe certainly broke the back of centralised catholic power, but i ain't sure whether that was a good thing. but Henry's actions were definatly motivated by a large extent by his desire for an heir, that much is indisputable; i think the primary second concern was financial.

  • @MrJbrousseau Henry definatly wasn't one of the most evil men in history, unless you've an incredibly warped view of evil. Henry wasn't evil, indecisive yes, impulsive yes, but a deliberatly harmful streak? no.

  • No ones perfect.  The Roman Popes were every bit has evil as Henry VIII. Cranmer was agreat man

  • very good i love this video

  • Are you serious... Thomas Cranmer... One of King Henry VIII's greatest supporters. He supported one of the most evil people in history and here he is depicted as an angel... common... You need to research the life of Cranmer and the life of King Henry VIII. One cannot not truly appreciate Cranmer without knowing Henry VIII and their relationship. And, one cannot separate Cranmer from Henry VIII.

  • Thanks, I appreciate it.
