This video, while mostly accurate, does make a pretty big mistake. Henry VIII had an older brother, Arthur, who was first married to Catherine of Aragon and was the one raised to be king. Henry was raised to be in the church, I believe. He only inherited after Arthur died.

I’m happy they included Elizabeth’s love affairs; most kid shows now only mention her as the Virgin Queen when she was anything but. She once dated a man, dumped him, later dated his step-son who she had executed for trying to lead a rebellion. She also never wanted her cousin, Queen Mary of Scotland, executed. She did sign the warrant, but never submitted it. Her secretary stole it from her desk and did it. Elizabeth was so furious that she had him imprisoned in the Tower of London for 18 months and wrote an apology letter to King James of Scotland, Mary’s son. Fun fact: Elizabeth was also a pirate queen in a way.

They got the wives deaths mixed up at the end 😂😂

Funny thing is that the tune of this song, greensleeves, was written during the Tudor reign, so it unironically fits.

They portrayed Edward as an idiot, but he was actually very smart. He even tried to prevent Mary from ruling

That interruption in the song specifically conceived to give kids a quick mnemonic trick to remember the fate of Henry VIII's six wives was a pure stroke of genius. Histeria just had the misfortune of coming out during Pokémon's heyday, that's all.

The British throne is mine mine mine

Mary Tudor was actually had a pretty tragic life. She was persecuted for being Catholic under her father's reign, and she loved her siblings dearly, though the feeling were not returned.

The pictures read Beheaded, Divorced, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived. Edit: Loud Kiddington says the order correctly; however, the images that Father Time points to as Loud Kiddington recites them are out of order.

This show had sharp writing and made learning history fun and even had the darkest songs

“He promised her he would do her no harm, so six wives proved to be the charm!” Actually Catherine Parr was almost beheaded because she had some strong religious beliefs but SOMEHOW she talked her way out of it

Divorce, Beheaded, Died Divorce, Beheaded, Survived And tonight....we are.... LIVE!!!!!!!!

"The British throne is mine mine mine!"

they seemed to have forgotten which character was playing which wife.

Henry VIII: Hay I invented Divorce how come she gets half of everything Catherine’s Lawyer: You should’ve invented the Pre-Nup

I wish we had more shows like this for kids now a days. Don’t get me wrong I love a lot of the shows we have now and we really are in a bit of a golden age, but the Animaniac’s crowd in their prime was such good commentary on historical and contemporary topics

It's interesting to think that the Tudor dynasty lasted across five monarchs and was arguably one of the most influential dynasties in English history, but technically only lasted for three generations

2:49 that kid scares me the most 😨

Nobody talks about Arthur :(

so 3 wives named Catherine (spelling varies), 2 named Anne, and 1 Jane. And Kathryn Howard was cousin to Anne Boleyn, both of whom lost their heads.

Song : Oh listen, ye all to a tale that’s true, When the War of the Roses tore England in two, King Richard III one fateful day, Fought Henry Tudor in a brutal fray. For poor King Richard life grew worse, He lost his kingdom for want of a horse. Henry VII was then made king, To Elizabeth of York he offered his ring. She said, “I do! Let’s give it a fling!” The union again made England one The couple was blessed with a healthy son. Young Henry grew up, the castle his home, When his father passed on he ascended the throne. Henry VIII took a wife from Spain, Catherine Aragon was her name. She bore him a daughter a cute little one, But to keep the throne he needed a son. Back then, that’s how things were done. For girls , it really wasn’t much fun. Their rocky marriage couldn’t get worse, But the pope refused to grant a divorce. So Henry started a church of his own, He got his divorce and stayed on the throne. Then Henry VIII wed Anne Boleyn, His former wife’s handmaiden. Anne gave birth to Elizabeth, But with no male kin, well you do the math! Poor Anne Boleyn, she lost her head, So once again King Henry wed. Jane Seymour gave to him a prince, But poor own Jane hasn’t woken up since. So for a while, our Henry grieves, Then he marries Anne of Cleves. Anne came from fine German stock, Their marriage was cancelled in less than a year. His fifth wife, Catherine Howard, was dear. But Henry found out that her love was not true, He gave her the axe, what’s a fella to do? So after five, came wife number six, Catherine Parr is who Henry picks, He promised her he would do her no harm, So six wives proved to be the charm! Henry gained pound right after pound, Till he needed machinery to move him around. He weighed about a quarter ton, Cause he couldn’t resist a sticky bun. In 1547, Henry VIII went off to heaven. Or maybe for his dirty tricks, To HE double hockey sticks! His young son Edward was only 10, When he took the English throne but then, Poor Edward died by age fifteen, His reign was followed by a queen. Jane Grey ruled for just 9 day, She lost her head, to coin a phrase! Mary Tudor was next in line, The British throne is mine, mine, mine! Mary had strength, she took no flack, She brought the Catholic church right back! At 42 Mary met her death, Then along came queen Elizabeth. She was loved by her people and made England strong, She had a few boyfriends, they didn’t last long. The Elizabethan age was just and fair, But Elizabeth never gave birth to an heir. And so we sing our last refrain, The end finally came to the Tudor’s reign. Elizabeth died in 1603, The end of the Tudor’s family tree. The end of the Tudor’s There can be no disputers, The end of the Tudor’s family tree… Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop! Timber!

Richard III lost his life and the throne at the Battle of Bosworth, and Catherine Parr was spared due to several injuries Henry had suffered early into his reign. For an example, the worst occurred when his horse fell on top of him, trapping him under an equivalent weight of 7 washing machines. Mary had a strong reign, but her policies led to the name "Bloody" Mary Tudor, and Elizabeth I was probably the most popular and respected monarch until Queen Victoria.

0:43- The lyrics should have been, "The couple was blessed with a healthy son, whom they named Arthur, but he died young, so the throne would be passed to their second son Henry...."

Chorus: In 1547/Henry VIII went off to heaven Froggo: Or maybe for his dirty tricks/To H-E-double hockey sticks! Given how notorious Henry 8 was, I'd say Froggo's line is more likely.

They forgot Arthur Tudor, and it wasn't the end of the Tudor's family tree, only their name. Henry VII had two daughters, one of which was Margaret. Margaret had a son, who had a daughter, who had a son who was king after Elizabeth.

Fun Fact: Henry wasn't even meant to be King but his Elder Brother Arthur was the heir before he died making Henry Heir and eventually King.

They should bring this show back.❤

I like how the one kid of the choir that looks the youngest has the deepest and creepiest (in a man from white van way creepy) voice

After learning about the Tudor dynasty, I made a interesting discovery: both of the queens in Alice in Wonderland represent Mary and Elizabeth. Examples: Mary Tudor was often referred to as Bloody Mary due to the number of Protestants she had executed and under her reign, Elizabeth was a noble caring leader.

🏵️🪓Terrible Facts of the Terrible Tudor Era🪓🏵️ - Anne Bolyne, Henry VIII’s 2nd wife, wasn’t beheaded by an axe. Henry arranged for her to be executed by an expert French swordsman. They reckon that Anne’s head came off so quickly her lips were still moving when they picked it up! But Anne was lucky compared with what happened to Mary Queen of Scots 50 years later. When she was executed, the executioner missed on his first go. He only nicked the side of her head. The second chop got her in the neck but it still didn’t finish her off. The executioner tried again and to be on the safe side he used the axe like a saw to take her head off. And when he picked up her head, the executioner didn’t know that Mary wore a wig. The head fell out of the wig and rolled across the platform! Henry VIII’s son Prince Edward once lost his temper with his teacher. In his fury, he took a pet hawk pulled out its feathers and tore it in 4 pieces and said he’d like to do the same thing to his teacher! And before he died, his fingers turned black and dropped off! Bloody Mary was infamous for burning protestants at the stake, but sometimes she ordered to have bags of gunpowder strapped to their legs so they’d explode all over the place and be dead before they knew it! And when the Duke of Northumberland rebelled against Mary, he was sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered. But the judges came up with a more horrible punishment for the Duke. They ordered the executioner to pull out his heart and throw it in his face! A publisher called Stubbs wrote a book that dared to criticise Queen Elizabeth I, so she sentenced him to have his writing hand cut off! The date - 7th October 1571. The place - The Gulf of Patras in the Ionian Sea near Western Greece. The event - The Naval Battle of Lepanto. The mighty Ottomans 🇹🇷 were up against the combined forces of the Spanish 🇪🇸, Italian 🇮🇹 and Maltese 🇲🇹 navies, fighting for the future of Europe. The Ottoman captain could see the enemy ships were too far away to fire a single cannonball at. So, what would he do? Wait patiently and conserve energy for the battle ahead? NO! He and his crew tried to start a dance off! Now if the Spanish captain had any sense, he would ignore the crazy Ottoman behaviour. BUT HE DIDN’T! He actually got his shipmates to dance! Soon the battle got underway and you’d think things would get serious by now, right? WRONG! One Spanish sailor got his whole hand blown off! He needed to stop the bleeding, but he couldn’t find any bandages. So he used a dead chicken as a bandage! Soon the Ottomans ran out of ammunition and the enemy ships were closing in on them. So the Ottomans used fresh fruit as makeshift cannonballs!

Love this song and it is an excellent way to remember names and dates! I do not know if it was dubbed in Italian (my language) but it would have been an even easier way to remember King Henry's wives's fate since it always begins with a D, except for Catherine Parr! Catherine of Aragon = Divorziata (Divorced) Anne Boleyn = Decapitata (Beheaded) Jane Seymour = Deceduta (Deceased for natural causes) Anne of Cleves = Divorziata (Divorced) Catherine Howard = Decapitata (Beheaded) Catherine Parr = Sopravvissuta (Survived)

I’m glad I’m not the only one who realized the first two wives on the poster are mixed up. 😛

I never forgot kid loudington's reiterating the wives fates. I really loved this show as a kid.

They don't make shows like this anymore. It's a bit of a shame.

The only thing they miss out on is that Henry actually had an older brother - Arthur. That's all that's really missing. But he did die before Henry inherited, so that might be why.

3:13 > British Throne > Great Britain wasn't formed until the 1700s. Literally more than 100 years after the end of the Tudors.

I first heard this as an audio and DEFINITELY thought it must have been an Animaniacs banned hot take - and even after seeing the animation ... it still seems like it is them ... and I can see Yakko, Wakko, and Dot as EVERY character from reoccurring monarchs to wives while Yakko sings the Greensleeves set lyrics.

some people keep saying that elizabeth kicked the catholic church out. Technically she didn't, she herself was protestant but she didn't have a problem with catholics like mary. trust me, i'm english i know

I miss this show, it's the reason I'm such a history nerd to this day.

ive been watching this for days and still not bored of it

Henry VII had 3 children that matter: Arthur (Married Catherine of Aragon) Henry VIII (You know it..) Margaret (Married King Jamed IV of Scotland), Henry VIII went to be king then...the 4 monarchs...then the Stuarts but the Tudors do not end there. One of the descendants of Margaret was James VI of Scotland/James I of England which was technically Henry VIII's distant nephew.

I remember seeing this cartoon as a kid on Kids WB at my grandparents' house.

You know this is a really underrated show

We had to watch this in history class yesterday 😂

H-E-double hockey sticks! H-E-🎿

"The British throne is mine mine mine" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

King Henry the VIII is losing wives faster than me when I see my grades

what a way to study history

I love that song.They should do a song about the Hannoverians and the Habsburgs of Austria.

Who can forget about the love letters during Henry's 1st marrage to anne.

The babies with years on their sashes look horrifying

Edward was actually nine when he became king.

I hate to point this out, but it really bothered me even as a kid:Father time and Loud kid are out of sync, pointing to the wrong wives in the break. It should be:Beheaded, Divorced, diedThe second batch is correct

Splendid job guys!!

0:48 in the beginning of Henry the eighth was actually fit. And not fat. He only started gaining weight right before he divorce his first wife. It was a combination of adjusting accident that’s where he started actually gaining weight.

I feel like the cartoon over-exaggerates Anna of Cleves’ appearance. She actually did look fair, not like model material, obviously, but when Henry showed up, he thought that it’d be like she’d recognize him from the get-go, like in a fairytale. But being from Germany, she didn’t know many stories, and Henry was enraged on her appearance not looking much like a princess turned queen, mostly due to the fact that the painter Hans Holbein the Younger exaggerated her beauty. Anna of Cleves wasn’t ugly, she just didn’t quite live up to Henry’s expectations.

I’m gonna watch all the EPISODES OF HISTERIA!!

When that kid yelled divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived they actually put Anne Boelyn and Catherine Of Aragon in the wrong places.

The song is amazing 😍😍😍 I am totally obessed with it

They forgot Arthur who married Catherine of Aragon first, they also messed up the divorced beheaded died divorced beheaded survived, but other that that its a good song

"the tudor's throne is mine mine mine" 💀

When they showed us a picture of the wives. Two of them where mixed up. Catherine should be the first one and Anne should be the second one.

Congrats on reaching 1 million mate! ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘

I love how at the start the armour didn’t even do anything

Damn I miss this show!

Love how the uploader spelt "terrible" as "Teriible".

My favorite line is this "the British throne is mine mine mine." - mary 1.

It's Henry the 8th's fault he was granted 2 daughters

Who noticed that Catherine Aragon and Anne Boleyn Where swapped in the review of henrys wives? like if u did!

This helped a lot keep good work up!!btw I go school and I'm singing this for my school play!

This was recommended to me today Feb 23, and this was uploaded to KZfaq at Feb 23 2011

1:27 Awooo🐺

Catherine and Anne are switched during the fates part of the song.

This is so good

um at 2:25 wasn't the girl in red the one he divorce

Not quite the end of the family tree - James I Stuarts great grandmother was Princess Margaret Tudor

I love the part when they say Henry grieves and he's eating a ton of food.

This is literally how I learned about the Tudors.

H-E double hockey sticks= hell. Or for his dirty tricks went to hell

haha 😂i love it

YOU KNOW WHAT THE SONG HAS A MISTAKE ANNE BOLEYN AND CHATHARINE OF ARAGON ARE SWICHED AROUND

I really like this

It's peculair how they devoted less than 20 seconds to the sovereign who reigned for the longest time.

H-E-double hockey sticks, lol.

If there was anything I remember was watching this in the morning as a kid before the bus picked us up for school

Edward VI became king at 9 years old

I love musicals!!!

I love this

Naaa they did Anne of cleves wrong 💀

I love you Dad You are so pleasant I'm so glad I'm not a peasant

I watched this at school i love this song

The divorced beheaded died thing has stuck with me for over two and half decades

anne boylen is swapped 2:28

Catherine shows Henry"his" daughter. Baby is wrong race. Catherine be cheating. 😂

Funny enough, the Tudor line ended officially, but the current monarchs are descendants from Henry’s older sister Margaret. So in a way, part of them still continues.

This song is so catchy! I love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My mother once told me she thought maybe Henry VIII might have repented for what he did to his previous wives, before he died. Somehow, I highly doubt it; since he was too obsessed with needing a male heir to continue his rein (so to speak.) What do you all think, did Henry repent or not in the end?

Everthing wrong with this 1 arthur was the first one to marry cathrine aragon and henry was still 12 there 2 and the reason he divorced chaterine of aragon is beacause anne boleyn was attractive to him 3 prince edward was very smart 4 do i have to say it if i need to anne of cleaves wasnt that ugly the king found her face unnatractive and the reason he kind of married her because of a beatiful potrait of her 4 they didnt mention chathrine howard was anne boleyn's cousin

I loved this song in 2016 :(

1:47 Henry VIII really said that she looked like a horse
