injury chronic ulcers an infection or even syphilis and did that famous jousting accident in 1536 really cause the leg problems that plagued the tudor king for the rest of his life i ve been digging into the contemporary accounts of henry viii s health and some of the things i ve discovered have made me question stories i ve read and even repeated myself over the years in this video i m looking at when henry s leg problems actually began what tudor ambassadors reported about his painful sores and leg ulcers and just how serious his condition became in 1538 henry was reportedly dangerously ill when one of the fistulas in his legs stopped draining and by 1544 his legs were being described as the worst legs in the world i ll also be investigating the evidence for the 1536 jousting accident the story of tudor surgeon thomas vicary supposedly curing henry s sore leg and the medical explanations that have been suggested including chronic venous disease infection and syphilis and what about henry s personality could years of chronic pain have contributed to the changes we associate with the king in his later years as always i ll be going back to the original tudor sources to see what we actually know what we can reasonably suggest and where the evidence simply isn t there want to explore the evidence further i ve also been doing some extra research into henry viii s leg problems for my youtube channel members including a closer look at thomas vicary the surgeon who supposedly cured henry s sore leg and an investigation into syphilis in tudor england the treatments available and what george constantine s recommendation of guaiacum might actually tell us depending on your membership tier you ll have access to these additional evidence room videos and other

playing can you steal history plagiarism research and the tudors can you steal someone else s historical research and does publishing can you steal someone else s historical research and does publishing something first mean you own the idea i ve been researching anne boleyn for nearly twenty years but that doesn t mean i own her story the historical sources i ve used or the questions i ve asked i ve seen quite a few accusations recently about people stealing historical ideas theories and research and it s got me thinking about where we actually draw the line i ve had my own work plagiarised over the years so i know how horrible that is but i also think we need to be careful about accusing people of stealing research simply because they ve reached the same conclusion as somebody else in this video i m talking about plagiarism independent research giving other historians credit and why i think we should be able to disagree with each other s interpretations without things getting personal i m also looking at the rather entertaining academic exchanges between anne boleyn historians eric ives and g w bernard and why i think being willing to change our minds is an important part of researching history and of course there may be a few tudor research rabbit holes along the way i d love to know what you think where do you draw the line between independently reaching the same conclusion and using somebody else s work have you ever thought you d made an exciting historical discovery only to find that somebody wrote about it over a hundred years ago do

some well meaning professional advice she found my bare arms flushed skin and tattoos distracting from my history content and suggested that i might consider wearing a blouse or even a turtleneck when filming there was just one rather wonderful irony the two visible tattoos she suggested i cover up are both connected to anne boleyn and one of them seemed to provide the perfect response from nearly 500 years ago ainsi sera groigne qui groigne or as i like to translate it let them grumble that s the way it s going to be in this video i m exploring the fascinating history behind anne boleyn s defiant motto why she had it embroidered on her servants livery during henry viii s great matter and its possible connection to the court of margaret of austria i m also sharing the very personal reason i had those words tattooed on me in 2021 after years of allowing online criticism to affect my confidence and the viewer s email raised another interesting question are women still judged differently from men when it comes to appearance and professionalism can bare shoulders or tattoos really distract from someone s expertise and would we react in the same way to a male historian i d

tudor rabbit hole and look at the records from 1541 and 1542 and the case made against catherine and ask a very simple question who actually said what because there s an important difference between what catherine admitted what was said about her and what was later presented as fact watch to the end and see whether you think the evidence supports the way catherine s confession is often described
