apparently and actual, honest-to-god take is that henry viii writing “thys booke is myne” on the 1st page of his book as a child was like… an early sign of sociopathy?
another great take of this genre is that him throwing off his jacket while dancing at his brother’s wedding (he was…10 or 11 i think?) was clearly a sign of a flagrant disregard for authority.
apparently we’ve been knew.
@quillington I mean it may have been hot, he may have just wanted that dramatic flourish, but either way it’s not like….your weird foreshadowing.
I don’t really get the insistence that he was destined be a baddie, and the reaches people will take to justify the idea that he was even as a child are?? Baffling. Because they also took this point and were like ‘obviously the only reason h7 ended up being strict with his upbringing is because he was oUT OF CONTROL and he knew it’.
Pretty sure that had more to do with him being the sole heir to a newbie dynasty than like… writing “this book is mine” in big cursive and doing (one) showy dance at his brother’s wedding but…go off, I guess?
