The Death, Funeral & Burial of King Henry VIII of England - Myth and History
One of the stories associated with the death and the funeral of Henry VIII is that as his body lay at rest in Syon Abbey on the way to burial, the coffin leaked and dogs were found licking up the bodily juices from the king's body. Is it true? Well, this video explores that story, but also tells the real history of the king's death, his funeral, procession, and burial at Windsor, looking at his will and how he wished to be commemorated, and how much those wishes were fulfilled.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
