History 101
We learn here about all of Queen Elizabeth’s mistresses in a snappy, albeit tragic, an overview of her husband Henry VIII’s wives. For those unfamiliar with the history of King Henry VIII, he had a slew of women who were not fortunate enough to survive him.
Another illustration of how women are happier without men dictating their lives, this example comes from the 16th century when King Henry VIII ruled his wives with a reign of terror. If they could not provide him with a male heir or if he simply grew weary of them, King Henry VIII ruled his wives with a reign of terror, making good on his threats to divorce or even murder them.
