The Wives of Henry VIII Pt. 1

Afternoonified ·

2025/12/10

Next up in what is apparently becoming a series we like to call "The women who were overshadowed by an a**hole" is the story of six women who all had one thing in common. Actually, since it was the 16th century in England and they were all upper class, they had a lot of things/relatives in common but the main one was some guy named Henry. In this episode we cover the rise and fall of Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn and, Jane Seymour. Support Afternoonified by contributing to their tip
