To think that Henry VIII was an abusive physco

[Iwanttoslowdown]

And should be taught in school as such.

One of mine is being taught about this tosser in Secondary school history and I was appalled that it was treated with such blasé that he literally was an abuser.

So I had to retell the story not as someone to be revered or remembered well, but that this abuser killed some of his wives including the mother of his daughter Elizabeth I, had serial mistresses, gorged his way through Court like some oversized pimple set to burst and generally Gould not be taught as a good person.

Uh my daughter is doing History A level covering the Tudors. He is not taught to be a good person at all - I don't think he ever was? They are well aware of his failings.

What was the point of that and your “bollocks”? Why so fucking rude?

Did I hit a nerve by saying I read a lot of primary sources? Your calling me ‘stupid’ repeatedly has me even more convinced you’re reading historical fiction but don’t want to admit that, and consequently you are not aware of what is fiction and what is history…

So he was never well regarded by his contemporaries for all his acts but he can't be judged at all from a more modern perspective?

Weird. Which?

It seems values haven't changed that much I.e. abusing and having your wives killed is hardly a positive act.

All religions are made up bollocks.
