Henry VIII's reign as the King of England was an incredibly brutal and dangerous one as 70,000 people were executed in his realm for different crimes. But one of the most shocking executions saw Elizabeth Barton being executed at Tyburn. She was a woman who suffered from a condition such as epilepsy, and during seizures she would have visions and she also made predictions. Elizabeth Barton became a celebrity, as Thomas Cranmer and Cardinal Wolsey had an audience with her. But she made a big mistake, as she predicted the death of the King, Henry VIII.
During meetings with the King, she said that if Henry VIII married Anne Boleyn then he would be dead within a month. She also said that if the King did this then a plague would hit England and cause chaos. But because of the prediction, she was sentenced to death and was accused of treason. However she suffered a terrible execution, as she was also to face the axe and her head was placed on London Bridge. She was the only woman to have her head placed on a spike in London in History, showing the brutality of Henry VIII's kingdom.

Heavy VIII was probably the worst ever monarch. The numbers who were executed were probably far more than official estimates. He was a bloody thirsty tyrant who executed friends, foes and acquaintances at the merest whim. When he died, the treasury coffers were almost empty after a series of expensive and futile wars. His paranoid suspicion of individuals as well as the church and monastic institutions, led him to land grab on a huge scale. His belief in the absolute right that monarchs could do anything they liked resulted in him committing national vandalism on a massive scale by deliberately destroying many magnificent, medieval religious works of art - together with the organised desecration and destruction of churches and monasteries. His unbridled and relentless quest to have a male heir, led him to fatally undermine the once religious unity of the country and leave it in religious turmoil.

Thanks for an intriguing case. I had heard of Elizabeth Barton but didn't realise that she came from a humble background. When I think about it I should have known, because a young woman from the middle or upper classes would likely have been prevented by family from doing things that were so certain to bring destruction on herself, but she seems to have been an unprotected girl, subject to epileptic episodes, imagining herself to be divinely inspired. I think the most frightening of all times in which to live must be times when religious beliefs are changing. For devout Christians their beliefs were (and I suppose are) the most important thing in their lives, with eternal salvation the prize. At the Reformation there must have been painful uncertainty about what to believe, the old faith or the new. What's more, some Catholics must have feared that if the Pope excommunicated the King the land would be cursed. It's easy to see how Elizabeth felt she should speak out. I wonder why Elizabeth recanted at the end. Was she afraid of an even worse death if she didn't? Or - which seems likely from the touching speech about others - did being subject to the legal process cause her to lose her belief in herself as inspired?

@sayitlikeitis5026 Жыл бұрын

I have heard it theorised (and I think it possible) that she was a fraud but was frightened of eternal damnation if she did not recant. I think it is possible that she also suffered from mental illness. Not understanding illnesses such as epilepsy at the time, people would have both been in awe and terrified of her seizures, which they perceived to be a sign of divination or worse. I am not sure what drove her, but she played with fire. She knew what she was doing was highly dangerous and that she was being monitored by the authorities. She was told to desist from the public proclamations, but she did not heed the warnings.

It is because the Lord gives them prophecy in order to try to convert evil but powerful leaders. They have been many Catholic Saints, such as many of the early disciples, whom the Lord had revealed would be murdered for their faith. Still, even knowing the outcome if they continued, they chose marred them rather than stop, preaching the gospel.
