Richard Roose, the Bishop of Rochester’s cook, got caught up in the Anne Boleyn scandal and met a brutal end. The king’s knacker Thomas Grimes was pressed into service as an executioner in the court of Henry VIII. This is the brutal story of life and death in England between the 16th and the 18th century.

The Roman Catholic Church has been responsible for executing over 100 million Christians during the dark ages. Satan has always had an Antichrist in place since he does not know the day or hour when the true Christians will be rescued in the twinkling of an eye. There are no unfulfilled Bible eschatological prophecies that need to occur before that long anticipated event takes place.
Fewer than 3% of proclaimed Evangelical churches even touch the subject of eschatology (biblical end times events). There is a special blessing for those read and listen to the Book of Revelation.
Oden is meant to be boiled.
Strange — bizarre, really — that someone can get choked up over a dog that's been dead for 500 years but barely even manage a glance at the human being who died beside it. People are too weird for words.
What a beautiful brewer of year! 🙂
My own mom has no interest in learning this but I would rather do this of work.
7:50 Woah, I know that guy. He's not such a bad chap. Give Him a shot. He'd give you one.
More sadness expressed for the dog than the lost sailor. I guess the difference being the dog had no choice in being there, but still odd that reaction.
37:52 Madam curator looks really cute in her hard hat! She looks much younger & her smile looks excited & happy. I like her face.
Oh god I'm glad I didn't live back then. I love showers, clean clothes and grocery stores.
If Tony is hosting a history lesson I'm all in..he makes history fun. And the only one from the Blackadder Series that was knighted by the Royals.
In the late 1990's I worked as a security guard ("hotel dick,") at a luxury hotel in Denver. The Brown palace opened in 1893 or so and kept historical records of every kind. Old registers, menus, and anecdotes.
There is story of the man boiled to death in his bathtub. We can probably presume that while in the tub, he died from some cause like a heart attack. Since he hadn't shut the hot water off, it flowed hour after hour. Plenty of hot water in a hotel. His friends came for him in the morning, no response at the door. Security was called. They found their friend not just dead, but the meat boiled off of the bones!
Is it just me, or does Tony seem to channel Phil Harding when he speaks in a West Country accent? I'd imagine years of working together gave Tony a great baseline for impersonation and pronunciation.
Just started this video, but Tony stating how folks wanted to get out the cities, made me think of that mysterious sweating sickness of Henry the VIII’s time. Do we know what that was yet?
Oh man the dog being stuck on ship made me soooo sad.
I enjoy these videos so much.
Also @AbsoluteHistory, your HistoryHit promo code is invalid according to the site.
Not him bare handing a rat carcass for this channel … truly homie will do anything for this show
Very good documentary. But the modern music kind of ruins the mood :/
I watch so much tony Robinson and UK TV but I have no idea the knacker joke. Someone from the other side of the Atlantic help with a definition?
Love Tony Robinson. 😍💙💚💙💚💙💚
12:26 HE DIDN'T ASK FOR A DIVORCE, HE ASKED FOR AN ANNULMENT!!!!!
I. Don't. Watch. Ads.
The fact that you're bypassing my premium YouTube account settings not to have ads, by permanently embedding them into your own stream, means that I'm not going to watch this channel anymore. It's a shame, because I used to really enjoy it.
Baldrick has become much wiser with age.
1:12 I must say I love watching and learning about our pasts.
👏🏿 I loved this so much ❤❤❤❤❤
This is real "high quality Content" ! <3
Jaega Wise, FYI. Wife comes from old english wyf, being "a woman married or unmarried". Stick to brewing beer.
6:03 pictures are HUNG. People are HANGED!!
@ 25:21 Would have been like some weird summer holiday "except he might have been killed."
Ah, so basically like a summer trip to America.
I couldn't do anything but smdh when I saw the codpiece
Fun fact: The original purpose of the codpiece was to prevent discomfort or injury should one have to sleep in their armor.
5:15 for me
If Tony was my history teacher in high school, I would have most certainly passed. He makes history not only educational, but entertaining as well.
I get way too excited when I see y’all post a video lol
i like these docs but have never heard an ad in one before. if i hear 1 more i am out of here…
I understand mutiny in a new very visceral way. Good show old chap 🤙. We need to remove Cooks name from anything, especially the cove in Hawaii. What a dick.
Could you please stop with an ad every 6 minutes???
My husband's father was a trapper in Manitoba, Canada. He used leg hold traps. Horrible!
You guys are ridiculously good at what you do. Thanks for another fascinating documentary.
Fascinating. I really enjoyed this.
Don't know why they played that annoying singing. Perhaps something more like the era??
Why not use a bow instead of a musket?
A dog? But cats are the catchers of rats.
Gin!
Okay never mind lol
