Divorced, Beheaded, Crowned: King Henry VIII's Bloody Court
Show Notes
Bow your heads, dear subjects, as this royal tale unfurls—a king's whims leading a kingdom to the brink of ruin.
Set the scene in Tudor England, where King Henry VIII styled himself a God’s anointed monarch, surrounded by opulence and suspicion. His creations were many, but his most egregious acts left spectral wives among his holy casualties. An ego grander than any palace and a tenure marked by bloodied swords and squandered treasures—a kingdom suffocating beneath his monstrous reign.
Henry’s capricious cruelty knew no bounds, darling, as a crown wept for its prospectors, offering no refuge. So shall we revel in the grim dance of a royal gone rotten—a testament to regal excess gone astray, twinkling in the shadows of history's grand opera.
