King Henry viii illegitimate children he never acknowledged | Tudor History Documentary

Описание: Henry VIII broke from the Catholic Church, executed two wives, and tore England apart—all for a legitimate male heir. But what if he already had multiple children he refused to acknowledge?
In this episode of Historical Controversies, we uncover the hidden bloodline of Henry VIII. Beyond his only acknowledged illegitimate son, Henry Fitzroy, there were at least six other rumored children—some with compelling evidence, others shrouded in mystery.
From Catherine and Henry Carey (whose striking resemblance to the king sparked centuries of speculation) to the adventurer Thomas Stukeley (who boldly claimed royal blood), we examine the names, the evidence, and the scandals the Tudor court desperately tried to bury.
