Horrible Histories – Horrible Henrys

Presented by Saffron Hall

You’ve heard about the SIX Queens – don’t miss the EIGHT Henrys!
We all know King Henry the Eighth – but wait till you meet the horrid Henrys that came before him!

Why was Henry the Sixth bludgeoned to death? What made Henry the Second eat a mattress? Henry the First’s daughter tried to kill him and Henry the Third became king aged nine! Why did Henry the Fourth insist his knights take a bath? What made Henry the Fifth burn a tailor alive? Why did Henry the Seventh make the most important man in the country check his poo? And get ready to see the incredible tales of Henry the Eighth himself!

Don’t miss this riotously entertaining history of the Horrible Henrys!
