Yes, on this day in Tudor history, 28th June 1491, King Henry VIII, the second monarch of the Tudor dynasty, was born at Greenwich Palace.
This second son, the spare, of King Henry VII and Queen Elizabeth of York ended up becoming King Henry VIII in April 1509 and although in many ways could be seen as a monstrous tyrant, he did achieve much during his reign.
In today's video, Claire Ridgway, author of "On This Day in Tudor History", gives an overview of this man, his life and his reign.

Poor ole Henry… he spent all those years going from wife to wife looking to see who could give him a son, when little did it matter since England was meant to be ruled by a woman. Elizabeth I & Elizabeth II 😂 The ideas these men get in their heads smh
