Henry VIII and His Six Wives – Instant Access Replay

With expert historians Dr Tracy Borman, Dr Owen Emmerson, Dr Linda Porter, Gareth Russell, Dr Kate McCaffrey, and Claire Ridgway, this event focuses on the iconic Henry VIII and his six wives.

9 expert talks. On-demand. One compelling story.

Henry VIII is the Tudor king everyone knows - Rome broken, monasteries dissolved, two queens executed. But who was the man behind the portraits? And who were the six women whose lives, and deaths,transformed a dynasty?

This replay brings together six Tudor historians for nine video lectures that re-examine Henry and each of his queens with sharp scholarship and fresh storytelling.

• The Private Life of Henry VIII - Dr Tracy Borman's talk takes us behind closed doors to explore the private life, love and scandal of England's most famous – and notorious – monarch, Henry VIII. Familiar tales, such as Henry VIII's turbulent love life, will be interwoven with lesser-known aspects of his character and reign – with surprising results! Tracy will reveal every aspect of this famous king's private life: what he ate, how he dressed, his hobbies and friends, health, hygiene and love affairs.
• Henry the Tyrant - Greatness or monstrosity? Henry’s reign delivered reform, but at a staggering human cost. This session sets out the prosecution: capricious justice, broken pardons, showpiece brutality, and a court culture remade by fear, revealing just why Claire Ridgway thinks Henry VIII should be known as a tyrant, rather than "Bluff King Hal".
• Catherine the Queen: Politics, Power and Influence over King and Court - Dr Kate McCaffrey's talk will explore the height and successes of Catherine of Aragon’s formidable queenship, readjusting the lens in which we view her. Queen Catherine's image is too often associated with the later years of her life, reducing her to the loyal, scorned wife who was cast to one side. This caricature ignores Catherine’s incredible intelligence, strength and political acumen - she deserves her reappraisal.
• The Rise of Anne Boleyn - From Margaret of Austria’s court to Queen of England, Anne’s path blended culture, charisma, and conviction. Claire Ridgway's talk examines her formation abroad, her court romances, her partnership with Henry, and her reformist patronage that made her such a unique queen consort.
• Jane Seymour: A Political Queen? - Jane was identified as a conservative queen, loyal to the memory of Katherine of Aragon and her daughter Mary, and a supporter of religious traditionalism. This talk on Queen Jane by Gareth Russell explores what she believed, what she did, and what she might have been capable of had she lived longer.
• The Afterlife of an Unwanted Queen: Anne of Cleves in the Shadow of the Crown - What was life like for Anne of Cleves when the King discarded her? This lecture by Dr Owen Emmerson will chart the years that Anne of Cleves spent in the shadow of the crown, and will shine a light upon some surprising aspects of Anne's life after Henry.
• Catherine Howard: The Queen in the North - Catherine’s tour of the northern counties in 1541 is overshadowed by the drama of her downfall not longer after, but it shows us a forgotten side of Catherine's personality - and queenship. By focussing on June to October 1541, Gareth Russell's talk will explore Catherine’s journey through the north and her politics, feuds, and triumphs.
• Catherine Parr, the Last Wife of Henry VIII - Henry's final wife has been cast by history as a nursemaid, but she was far more: learned queen, stepmother, patron, and advocate for reform, shaping the young Elizabeth and Edward. Dr Linda Porter reveals the real Catherine Parr.
• Henry's Six Queens - Seven Tudor figures, one enduring question: what did they really leave to England? This talk by Claire Ridgway balances Henry’s reforms and wreckage with the queens’ quieter power—education, patronage, diplomacy, and the making of Elizabeth’s world.
