King Henry VIII Pt III: Fat, Furious, and Fertility-Challenged (But Was it His Fault?)


Listen Later

For our third and final Henry VIII episode, joined by our special guest Warren, we are going to dive into Henry's medical history. We'll talk about his physical problems, like his obesity and painful, oozing leg ulcers. We'll talk about his mental problems like his sudden paranoia and mood swings. And we'll even talk about his lack of offspring (it's not always the woman's fault, though try telling that to anyone in the Tudor period). Most interestingly, we'll discuss if there could be one diagnosis that could explain all his health problems.
