Final Days of Henry VIII

  • Summary

  • You could smell Henry VIII's rotting legs from three rooms by the end. He was in constant pain, barely able to move. Yet he never loosed his grip on the lives of everyone around him. Could he squeeze in one last wife? One final execution? How did the bloodiest monarch in English history bow out? Anthony Delaney tells Maddy Pelling the story this week.


    Edited by Tomos Delargy, produced by Freddy Chick, Senior Producer is Charlotte Long.
