Henry VIII Finally Got His Son... So Why Wasn't He Happy? | Queens, Kings, and Dastardly Things

#RoyalFamily #QueenElizabeth #RobertHardman #KateWilliams #QueensKings #QKADT Henry VIII finally has his longed-for son. So why isn't he happy? Continuing our Tudor season, Robert Hardman and Professor Kate Williams explore one of the most dramatic chapters of Henry's reign. Within days of Anne Boleyn's execution he's married Jane Seymour. At last, the Tudor dynasty has its male heir, but the triumph is heartbreakingly short-lived. Then comes Henry's next great gamble: the disastrous marriage to Anne of Cleves, the humiliating first meeting that became the stuff of legend, and the spectacular downfall of Thomas Cromwell. Along the way, discover why the Dissolution of the Monasteries transformed England forever, how Henry's relentless pursuit of power reshaped the nation, and why his search for the perfect wife was becoming ever more desperate. By the end, another teenage bride is waiting in the wings, and Henry VIII's most tyrannical years are only just beginning.
