[Music] you have to be young to fall in love the way he falls in love with amberin you really have to be young and you have to be kind of you know inexperienced or or you know uncontrolled in that area in your life you know what I mean uh there's just something about amberin that captures his Spirit captures his loins he sees a healthy girl she'll give me a son which is which is a great Advantage she's young she's got a light a lot of life um and and seems to enjoy life she's intelligent she can carry a conversation you know I mean at the end of the day you know you're if especially if you're a king and most of your marriages are arranged you want to know that they don't look like horsemeat and they can carry a conversation because you're going to be with them for a while or they're going to be around he was married to Katherine of Aragon for a very very long time his relationship with Catherine was was wonderful you know he loved her deeply and they had a deep respect but she got old and she didn't give him a son and things had to change and he's a young man and so it kind of played out its natural course it would have been even more extraordinary if Henry had remained faithful to cathine ofar gone it would have it just that probably would have made him even sort of more famous because the nature of relationships for people of this stature who you fall in love with is a matter of State it's politics and who you marry is a matter of state and it's very very hard to be a human in in that context and what we're looking at I hope because I haven't seen anything of the production so far and I won't see anything before anybody sees this is that I hope um I hope people will get the what I hope we're getting is somebody who's not allowed to have emotions having emotions and how they upset his it's the world around him uh which he wields so much power in um you know he did he did some he did some great things but he did them subconsciously and unbeknown to himself and they wouldn't actually appear as great as they were to later on in history but you know he took he took the control he became the the spiritual leader for his country um so he took the he took his kingdom away from Rome uh which probably was no harm at the time you know Rome was was not a very uh loving giving religious spiritual place to do business even spiritual business it was very very corrupt um and the reason he did it of course are for are for essentially uh selfish reasons carnal reasons that he really wanted Ulin and he wanted a son um but in fact he probably saved England a lot of grief later on um I don't think the mentality of the English people the aesthetic that was growing at that time would have suited Rome anyway and I think Henry just pulled it pulled it away quicker than anybody thought it would have um but then even in that that's another thing that he did and was very very important for him was creating an aesthetic for his country he he you know England was was always at War and you know see you had the Saxons and you had the Normans and then you had Kings dying and Kings living and Crusades and it and in all that and all in all that sort of you know social political military unrest it hadn't really gained an aesthetic Henry gave it an aesthetic he sort of you know he he gave England an identification that you know that it had been lacking up until then and then of course there's the there's the subject of the sun um and you know Henry desperately wanted to continue his line as all great men do especially um great royal men he had to continue his house and he felt and he was dead right he felt that um a daughter would not be able to hold it and they tried to take it away from Elizabeth so many times um but in in in having Elizabeth he had the greatest son a man could want it was just a woman so his wish was granted um it was granted to Amin's child not to Katherine of Aron
