CultureRe: The Bizarre Case Of A King Who Rotted Alive by Jaftee(m): 9:19pm On Aug 08, 2025
People can easily over exagurate for sensationalism, chatgpt, even though that could be wrong as well.

.......

This story is partly true, but it's heavily dramatized and exaggerated, especially in its gruesome details. Let's break it down and separate fact from fiction or exaggeration.

✅ True or Mostly True Elements
1. Six Wives and Church of England
True. King Henry VIII had six wives.

He created the Church of England (Anglican Church) after the Pope refused to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon.

This move began the English Reformation.

2. Obesity and Health Decline
Mostly true. In his later years, Henry became very obese (estimates put him at around 300–400 lbs) and had a 54-inch waist.

He suffered from leg ulcers, which became infected and caused a foul odor.

These ulcers and obesity immobilized him, and he had to be carried around.

3. Jousting Accident and Personality Change
True. In 1536, Henry had a serious jousting accident, was unconscious for two hours, and may have suffered a traumatic brain injury.

Afterward, his behavior became more erratic, paranoid, and cruel—which historians believe was at least partially due to the accident.

4. Anne Boleyn’s Execution
Partly true. Anne was executed on charges of adultery, incest (with her brother, George Boleyn), and treason. Most historians believe these charges were fabricated.

Five men were executed alongside her — but whether she watched their executions is unclear. There’s no solid evidence she was forced to watch them.

❌ False or Exaggerated/Misleading Elements
1. “Walking corpse” and flesh falling off
Highly exaggerated. Henry was in poor health, yes, but there is no historical record that his flesh literally fell off or that he was trailed by people mopping it up.

2. Coffin exploding
Partially true. After Henry’s death, his coffin reportedly leaked fluids, possibly due to decomposition.

A 17th-century writer claimed dogs licked it up — but that account is likely apocryphal, written decades after his death and should be taken with caution.

3. “Dogs licking remains off the street”
Dubious. This is a myth from later anti-Tudor or Protestant sources. There’s no credible historical evidence to support this.

4. Open sores so foul servants fled
Exaggerated. The ulcers were very unpleasant, and he likely smelled bad, but descriptions of servants gagging and fleeing are likely sensationalized.

📚 Conclusion
The core facts about Henry VIII’s reign, health decline, and cruelty are true.

However, the grisly, horror-movie-style descriptions (exploding coffin, flesh falling off, dogs licking remains) are exaggerated or mythologized, often used to make his story more dramatic for modern readers.

Would you like a more historically grounded summary of Henry VIII’s life and health?

I have reported the lies, why is he manufacturing such lies with scenarios.
dominique:
100% lies. Which country will allow you bring in goods that will interfere with the ones in their markets? They will be sizes at the airport if he landed with them. If he intended to ship them in, did he get an import licence? If he got a licence and paid all the import duties on the goods, there's no way he can sell it cheaper than market value. You think it's easy to take a mega cooperation to court? Those that successfully did had solid cases and the funds to follow through. The story is pure fiction
HealthRe: Help! I Always See Plenty Dead Cockroaches In My House. Why? by Jaftee(m): 11:27pm On Jun 11, 2024
I am experiencing the same thing for a long time now, I am a year now in my apartment and it seems there is no season for this dead cockroches.

I read somewhere that these roaches can die for so many reasons.

disease, old age, starvation of food or water or pest control.

also, if you have dead cockroachs, it is best you pick the and dump them properly as the smell of dead cockroach can attract other live cockroachs
