    1. @Chrisiant Well that’s true, he couldn’t exactly pick one of his other wives for two reasons. First, Jane gave him his long desired son and died before he could grow bored of her. Second, his only other option was his last wife, Katherine Parr, who outlived him. He had his marraiges to Katherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Anne of Cleves, and Katherine Howard annulled.

      Wrong, she had red hair!

    3. Thank you very much for uploading! :) You save me of a world of trouble looking for these.

    4. the king was a fool just like other englishmen

    5. LOL! Two brothers, in the same bed?!?!?! No! In the same house!

    6. red haired actually. Spanish monarchs of that time period were known for their blue eyes and titian hair

    7. Catherine of Aragon was blonde! Why do producers insist on representing her as a dark haired, dark eyed woman!

    8. @loveshistory012 Yet Henry said that he loved Jane best, and she’s the one Queen he was buried beside as per his wishes.

    9. Yes, in the one portrait I’ve seen of her with her hair loose as a child, she was almost auburn, and quite pretty. Perhaps the producers find that a dark haired Catherine contrasts better with strawberry blonde Henry.

    10. Thanks, This really helped!

    11. I hate when people pick who was the best wife or who Henry loved the most. I feel for all of them they all had their issues and talents which were mostly Henry’s fault. Catherine of Argon: devotion/virtue, Anne Boleyn: Courage/wit, Jane Seymour: quite/discrete, Anne of Cl eves: kindness and support Catherine, Howard: youth, and Catherine Parr: wit and patience

    12. @Varney86 good, but it is ones duty to point out to people that they are wrong and that they are mean. That may put some sense in their heads.

    13. @calihartley2010 What do you look like? It’s just Youtube, people are going to comment how they like, if one likes it or not. Don’t like it, best not to read the comments. I do think the actress are pretty in there own way.

    14. oh what lovely tea and sandwiches my darling.

    15. GOD BLESS YOU YOU ARE AMAZING

    16. @rdc197810 Well then why announce it to the whole world like she is the only ugly thing?

    17. @calihartley2010 You don’t have to be perfect looking to notice that someone isn’t pretty.

    18. @MysteryChocolate I didn’t know about the red hair – but I always pictured her as beautiful, she is always described as beautiful in books and historical accounts. She somehow always appears dowdy in movies and tv shows though, its strange. I guess they want to make Anne Boelyn look prettier by contrast

    19. Very interesting, visually appealing and informative. Thanks…I Love It!!!

    20. @calihartley2010 She’s not too bad to look at. Although I do think a little thinning on the eybrows would make an improvement. :)

    21. I am amazed at the comments about the actresses here. Please shut up and learn some history. These women are made in the image and likeness of God. I wonder what the people who are commenting look like!

    22. @CherryBlossomBlyue wow i would like to see what you look like.

    23. @HerMajestyRosemary goodness please be charitable. i would like to see what you look like.

    24. @KDVx3 other than her smile i think she is pretty.

    25. @zombiefucku you are stupid
