very random but why did worsley choose to villainize cranmer > henry...
#i think cranmer had his shady moments but the way he was portrayed in that docuseries... like a comic book villain... we just don't know#it was almost like he got the catholique cromwell treatment#altho i think cromwell was arguably more brutal#he was not just 'one thing' in the way none of are just 'one thing'#cranmer had his shady moments like lambert and katherine howard#i actually think cromwell was pretty much equally brutal to henry but i would say he was. you know#a better husband/father than henry. so there is that#but most kings were bad fathers/husbands altho the latter not generally QUITE that bad#I DIGRESS#but obviously the blame rests with henry#primarily. re: everything. but particularly katherine howard#didn't have to do All That#also this docuseries did not even mention jane rochford did it...? in either AB or KH chapter#odd .#meanwhile we get entirety of blackfriars speech and maria de salinas but not anne's execution speech or any of her friends / ladies or any#of ANY of theirs except the usual saccharine nonsense about jane seymour & mary#i really think she just should have done a catherine of aragon docu#id anyone has ever done a standalone co.a docu...? which almost seems weird#queen consort for the longer that them all put together. wild
