[Music] terrible tudors [Music] hello and welcome to the news at when when tudor times when england broke with rome and got its own church which really pleased henry viii and really upset the pope here with more details is bob hale with the catholic report bob thank you sam well there it is tudor england that's henry viii right there and as you can tell it's wall-to-wall catholics as far as the eye can see much as it has been for all let's say 900 years but henry's got a bit of a problem because he wants a divorce which is exactly the sort of thing that the catholic church doesn't like so he asks the pope if he can have a divorce and he says no way jose which is weird because his name's henry so what does henry do he breaks away from the pope there he goes and he starts up his own church here in england called unsurprisingly the church of england and since he's in charge of it he basically grants himself a divorce and marries amber lynn who's a protestant meaning she believes in the bible but not in the pope now since the country's turning protestant henry starts being a bit mean to the catholics and by a bit mean i mean he executes them closes their monasteries and takes all their money then he gets married another four times and he dies well that's what six wives will do for you and that believe it or not was the easy bit as we can see if we look at the religionometer so the next king after henry is someone from your school no not really it's edward vi who's only nine years old and he is a protestant that's right and he's a king for ages and ages and ages until he finally dies at the ripe old age of 15 yep 15 when he hands over to lady jane grey another protestant who gets to enjoy ruling the country for a whopping nine days before she's overthrown by queen mary a catholic this time so catholic in fact that she burns 300 protestants at the stake although strictly speaking that's not being catholic that's just being hurried so england is catholic again and everyone can just sit down and get used to it but not for long because here comes queen elizabeth and you've guessed it she's a protestant she even fights off a catholic invasion the spanish armada then elizabeth is followed by james the first who's a scottish protestant or is it a british goddess either way he's a protestant but he likes catholics at least he does until one tries to blow him up naughty naughty guy falls and after james comes charles the first who acts like a catholic but basically doesn't care he just wants to be in charge which he is until he's overthrown by that chap huh who's not a catholic or a protestant he's not even a king seriously he's oliver cromwell a puritan which is like a really strict protestant so strict in fact that he chops charlie's head off and then he bans music theater dancing christmas hedgehogs and fun except not hedgehogs then he dies hooray and we get the monarchs back woohoo it's child's ii who is loads of fun he's also a protestant but he converts to catholicism on his deathbed so he's a catholic but only for a couple of minutes then comes his brother james ii who is a catholic always has been not just for a couple of minutes but he doesn't like parliament so they chuck him out and bring in his daughter and her husband from holland that's william and mary and they decide that england is definitely protestant as it is today but only after 185 years of going catholic protestant catholic protestant catholic protestant catholic prostitute catholic protestant you're getting sleepy you're getting very sleepy hand back to sam sam sam sam [Music] the past is no longer a mystery hope you enjoyed horrible his stories
