This is the tour through Henry VIII's body!
Henry VIII! This man once played on TV and movies by jonathan rhys meyers and Eric Bana!
Through his reign, Henry VIII went from a 'primce'... (already?)
Through his reign, Henry VIII went from a charming prince to a tiranic, paranoic, sick king.
'She's dancing and Henry VIII keeps looking...'
He wasn't his family's first born, so he wasn't destined to be king,
but when he was ten, his brother Arthur died from tuberculosis,
probably contracted from the boys' father, King Henry VII,
the one who defeated the star of our previous tour, Richard III.
Henry becomes the first in line, and after his father dies, he takes over the throne of England.
When he took the throne at seventeen, he was a strong boy, seen by the court as a galant,
gentle, charming, and very healthy prince.
But Tudor England was filthy, with no basic sanitation,
and carriers of deathly diseases like rats, ran around freely,
so it was quite easy to get sick in many different ways, and not a peasant exclusivity.
When he was 23, he contracted smallpox.
A highly contagious disease transmitted by virus.
The symptoms include high fever, headache, back pain, skin eruption, and strong stomachache in certain cases.
It's a serious illness, but Henry is able to recover.
That proves, for England's relief, that he is the healthy, strong prince that the country needs.
But at 29 he contracts malaria. An infection of red blood cells transmitted by a protozoan.
The patient shows signs of fever, chills, sweating, spleen enlargement, and anemia.
In Tudor England, this disease was endemic, and to make things worse, in the king's case, it became chronic.
Giving his father and brother's medical condition in addition to his, Henry becomes hypochondriac,
and who payed the price for this was his court,
because at the slightest sign of an infeccion or a disease, he ordered his court to move to another palace.
Whenever a courtier was found to be sick, the person was expeled from court.
This applied even to the most important and influent people.
'Where are we going now?' 'France your Highness!'
'France? Have gone mad? With that nasty cousin of mine that think's is better than me? No way! Another place!'
'Spain your Highness!'
'Spain? Home of my monster-in-Law? No way!
'I got it! Let's stay in England, close to London! A new palace!'
'Ohhhh'
But not only diseases contributed to the king's deteriorated health,
that was going to become more fragile each day.
hen he was young, he loved sports! Archery, tennis, wrestling, and specially, jousting!
And no one could be better that him, he needed to be the ultimate sportsman!
In a beautiful sunny morning of 1524
Henry mounts his horse for another joust.
Another joust for him to show all of his strenght and manhood!
But before beginning, he forgot a small detail...
He looked at the crowd, and what he thought they were screaming was:
'Hey good looking! Marry me!'
'Henry, I love you!'
But what they were actually trying to say was:
Put your visor down!
He didn't put his visor down, the joust begun,
and his opponent hit him where? Right over his right eye.
And from this point, he starts to suffer from severe migraine for the rest of his life.
But tennis, tennis is harmless, safe, innocent, not violent...right?
But life is like a box of chocolates, and in a sunny morning in 1527
Henry starts a tennis match and wrench his...
and wrench one of his feet.
This was only the beginning of many problems he would have with his legs.
But not only sports helped in the deterioration.
Fashion was also responsible.
At 36, Henry starts suffering from varicose ulcer, that is,
abnormally enlarged superficial veins in the legs due to bad circulation.
During his time, it was fashionable to use a garter to keep his stockings in place.
It is possible to notice this garter in the many paintings of the time.
But the constrictive nature of the garter he wore caused problems to his circulation,
and the infection this illness could cause was a matter of big concern in a time with no antibiotics.
But Henry loved medicine, and he created himself some ointments to treat his legs.
The thing is that the ointments contained lead.
I give up!
The king's team of doctors used to right down his health condition every single day.
Every time he coughed or sneezed, someone was by his side taking notes.
Besides that, his fluids were examined every day.
Do you remember the second 'Archaeology and poo' episode, where I speak about the Groom of the Stool?
If you didn't watch, do it!
To ease his symptoms, the king was periodicaly treated with leeches.
It is believed that the saliva of this animals has anti inflammatory, analgesic, and anticoagulant effects.
Which would make the king's circulation a lot better after a treatment like this.
But on 24 January 1536, he suffers the worst accident of them all.
During a joust, the king was thrown from his horse, which then fell on top of him.
Around 1500 pounds crushed the king.
He looses consciousness for two hours,
but in situations like this, five minutes are enough to indicate serious head trauma.
To be more specific, his frontal lobe.
He only didn't get killed, because he was fully armoured.
But suffering from varicose ulcer, his wounds would take longer to heal.
He would spend months with open wounds.
Besides that, the trauma in his head caused his personality to change for worse.
The king's legbones were also injured, and he had developed bone infection.
The man was Joseph Climber. Do you know Joseph Climber?
Life is like a box of chocolates, and in a beautiful sunny morning
work was going well, but then the machine grinded his right arm!
To avoid general infection, the doctors decided to keep his ulcer open though a painful cautery.
Until the king's death, his legs remained infected, oozing pus,
and the odor of rotten flesh coming out of them was so strong
that it was possible to notice the king's presence from metres away.
But nobody in right mind would tell the king that he was stinking.
Afterall he ordered the execution of friends, allies, and two wives during his life.
the fifteen doctors who were part of the king's team, eagerly sought an alternative treatment.
But they decided that the best procedure to make was the amputation of the king's both legs.
But in Tudor times, this was a mortal surgery. Only 10% of the patients survived.
None of the doctors wanted to be known as the king's killer, so they discarded this idea.
Obviously the king couldn't exercise anymore. He gained a lot of weight and started suffering from constipation.
Poor Groom of the Stool!
The team of a documentary I'm linking in the description, performed a deep research about Henry VIII health.
And one of the members went to the supermarket to buy groceries based on the kings weekly diet.
A little diet in thirteen dishes, poor in vitamin C,
rich in pork meat, beer, wine with sugar in it, white flour,
and salt in amounts that are way bigger than the one recommended by day.
And for the same reasons of Alexander, the Great, and Richard III in the past video, he also didn't drink water.
The supermarket bill was around £500. Converting to BRL and calculating in a month, is almost BRL 10,000!
His bad circulation, high blood pressure, and obesity, made him suffer from heart problems,
and diabetes type 2.
At the dawn of january 28, 1547, the king dies recluse and very sick.
There are reports that this man's corpse, so worried about his public image in life, explodes in his coffin
due to its poor state.
But this can really happen?
Yes! And if you, brave person, want to know more about it,
go to Caitlin Doughty's channel, Ask a Mortician. She's my favorite youtuber.
She explains this phenomenon. I'm also linking below.
Henry VIII was buried next to his third wife, Jane Seymour at the Castle of Windsor.
If you lke this video, thumbs up! If you don't...
What should we do to people that dislikes this video, Wolsey?
We can throw them in the dungeon, your Majesty!
Dungeon is not enough for this peasants of bad taste!
I want their heads to be choped of!
But sir, isn't that too radical?
Of couse not! Or do you also want to loose your head? Seize them now!
