Let’s get that holy oil massage going for Mary and pop on the silly hat. We can also read some words from tourists visiting England to see what life is like for common smelly types (not good) and meet Mary’s main man, Spanish Phil.
Ted’s dead and he’d ditched Mary and Baby Betty out of the succession in favour of Charles Brandon and Mary Tudor’s grand kiddie Jane. Not sure how she will go.
People will die and one of these will be our teen king. Sad. And that will lead to a bit of a succession crisis. Seems Ted wasn’t that fond of his sisters after all.
It’s not going well. Law and order are breaking down, the economy is in the dunny with poor people getting poorer while oddly enough the rich get richer. Can teen king Ted grow up, take control and make England great again? Probably not. Here’s a picture of John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland.
Poorly named episode because Ted’s only off to the slammer. He’d gone all king Donald saying England was totally great again when all we need to do is look out the window to see unhappy people rebelling. John Dudley can now have a go but changing leaders may not lead to happiness and free ice cream on Sundays. Here’s a picture of Ted.
Yes, religion is causing more problems but really, this may be the typical we’re unhappy about the money situation. Sadly, the guy in charge Ted Seymour, seems to be losing touch with reality.
In Tudor times we have thousands of humans dying in stupid foreign wars, rebellions, disease and hunger. Plus the odd human will be murdered often followed by an execution.
Ted Seymour will become the big swinging dick of England. Commissioners will be let loose to smash up any old saints still laying around and it’s to be stupid foreign wars. Situation normal then.
Time to get Henry into his temporary tomb and press on with the glorious reign of Edward 6. It’s another kiddie king and they haven’t worked out too well in the past. Both the conservatives and reformers will be looking to get control of the kiddie and the nation. Here’s a family portrait Henry had done. Henry with Jane Seymour who looks pretty good for somebody who had been dead for 10 years, Edward then the socially distanced ladies formerly princesses Mary and Elizabeth and the two fools, Henry’s and Mary’s.
Henry is finally going to his heavenly reward. Nice for him to be reunited with Anne Boleyn, Tom Cromwell, Catherine Howard, Sir St Tom and St John and all the other people he murdered. We can all heave a sigh of relief knowing he’s left England in tip top shape – or not. Here’s his hearse of magnificence.
