Every English Monarch From Henry VII to Queen Anne Explained in 8 Minutes

#history #britishhistory #tudors English royal history is absolutely unhinged, and most of it never made it into a textbook. We're talking a king who broke an entire country away from the Catholic Church because the Pope wouldn't grant him a divorce. A teenage queen who ruled for nine days before being executed. A monarch who burned nearly 300 people alive and earned the nickname "Bloody Mary" for it. A king who was literally put on public trial and beheaded outside his own palace — the only time that's ever happened to an English monarch. A gunpowder plot, A plague, a fire that burned down most of London, and a coup so bloodless it barely counts as one. We're breaking down every single English monarch from the muddy battlefield that ended the Wars of the Roses in 1485, all the way to the birth of Great Britain itself in 1707 — six wives, two dynasties, two beheadings, and 229 years of chaos in one video. If you've ever watched a video on British monarchs that picks up right at Queen Anne, this is everything wild that happened before it. It's a fast-paced ride through obsession, betrayal, religious war, and royal disaster.
