The Accidental Monarchs: Tudors Who Changed History

Description

Script Vidéo

Every single Tudor got the throne by accident. Every single Tudor got the throne by accident. Henry the Seventh spent fourteen years in exile. Left England at fourteen, came back at twenty eight, and won a crown in a field with a claim so weak there were people walking around with better ones. His son wasn’t supposed to be king either. Henry the Eighth was the second son. Arthur was the heir. Arthur died, and their father was so frightened of losing the last one that a Spanish envoy wrote the boy was kept under guard, only allowed outside through a private door, and not permitted to speak in public except to answer his own father. That’s who became Henry the Eighth. A teenager who spent years in silence, and then inherited everything with nobody left to tell him no. Edward was nine. Jane Grey was seventeen and cried when they told her. Mary was declared illegitimate and made to serve in her baby half sister’s household. And Elizabeth was sent to the Tower by her own family before she was twenty five. Five monarchs. A hundred and eighteen years. Not one of them was meant to be there. And that’s exactly why every one of them ruled like someone was coming to take it.
