Henry VIII is buried where??!!

<p>To commemorate the death of Henry VIII on the 28th January 1547 I am sharing, for the first time as a podcast, my most popular video to date on YouTube, a live stream recorded about the burial place of Henry VIII.</p> <p>Not only is his final resting place not what you may expect for this most narcissistic of kings, but why did he never get the tomb he had planned - I discuss why this may be.</p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/MveUycSofn8">Watch this episode on YouTube.</a></p> <p>EPISODE DESCRIPTION The truth about Henry VIII's final resting place can be a surprise to many. Even 500 years after his death, his larger than life character endures. &nbsp;So, &nbsp;- Where is the magnificent tomb? Well, nowhere. Or more accurately, parts of it are spread between uses elsewhere and displays in museums. &nbsp;Then there is the question, - Why is he buried with Jane Seymour? &nbsp;&nbsp;And finally, and the focus for this video, - Why was his final resting place left unmarked for so long and why his body never moved? &nbsp;I take you through the logic behind why Henry remained in what he assumed would be a temporary resting place and where the sarcophagus he had intended for himself, the one confiscated from Thomas Wolsey, is now. &nbsp;&nbsp;I also go into why he was buried with Jane Seymour, going beyond simply 'she was his favourite' hypothesis.</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/british-history/message
